lorelei's Picture Hi, I'm Lorelei. I live with my mother, my older sister and my grandmother.
I travel a lot but I'm never a tourist. ;) My mother owns property all over the country and I'm extremely lucky to feel at home in so many different places. It's a lot of fun and I get to see a lot of things and meet a lot of people.
Shopping always seems to be better away from home too.
I'm very fashion-minded and stylish, spontaneous and energetic, dorky and giggly. I enjoy having a good time. Almost too much. I party every chance I get. I do drink but I do so responsibly and you should too.
I'm very young but the year 2003 caused me to learn more about who I am than some people get to learn about themselves in an entire lifetime. Ever since I've made it a point to share what I've learned with everyone possible. Ask and I'll do my best to answer.

Whether or not you found my advice useful, a rating is appreciated, good or bad. Let me know how I can improve.

I always look too young. I'm a junior and everyone around me looks like they're a junior- but I could be confused with a freshman! I have brown never died hair thats like 6 inches longer than my shoulder with bangs that sweep to the side kinda across my eye. Any suggestions on hair? also, I have brown eyes so if u know ne ways to do my make up that'd be great too! I need to look older! Oh and- how can i dress to look older? Thanks so much! I RATE!

Believe me, there isn't an upside to looking older than you are. There's nothing wrong with looking your age. It isn't that you look young, it's just that girls look so much older these days. Everyone wears makeup and dyes their hair and dresses maturely...
You may just be coming into your own style, which does take time. Don't be in a rush. People can tap in when you're obviously trying too hard.

If you want some quick hints to maybe "age it up" a little, you could try a haircut and some highlights. Since your hair is kind of long, I'd go for the smooth, sleek look and maybe razor cutting your bangs. Try looking at a few magazines and talking to the stylist at your hair salon/cuttery.

Dressing to look older is essentially useless. Stick to your own personal style. You could check out some stores like Charlotte Russe, Forever 21 or a department store to pick up some fashionable junior sized clothing. But it's all about how you carry yourself in those clothes. Keep your head up, your shoulders back and tell the world that you like what you're wearing or how you look.

I hope I helped. :)
