God help you if you trusted the advice I gave at 13.

advice



I've been to 2 malls today and they had nothing but short & black dresses to go clubbing in. I can't get anything offline cause it'll be too late. I've been to macy's, dillards & every store looking for a black dress but nobody has one for a graduation. Do you know where I can get one that's not online but in a store?

Forever21 or H&M would probably have something cheap you could try. They definitely do have a lot of clubbing dresses, but since they also try to cater to other styles they might have something black and lacy that would be graduation appropriate. You could also give JCrew a shot! (Shameless JCrew salesperson, here :) )

So i was in science class then my friends(all girls) and i started talking about our private area, and all began wondering of you shave or whatever down there.. So the question is: Do girls shave down there???

Unlike the advice-giver below me, I think it's completely acceptable to ask questions like this on advicenators. We don't know your home situation, and we really do not know whether you have a female role model you can speak to like this.

Some women choose to shave their pubic hair and others do not. It's a personal preference. Some women also choose to wax their pubic hair because it leaves a cleaner appearance than shaving does. Most women in my demographic (18-24) that I know do groom their pubic region. It sounds like you are young, however, so you may not find it necessary.

i am wondering im 13 in middle school what are the cool fasion trends for spring

Nautical, floral, and pastels are always in for spring. Like another poster said, feathers are big right now. Maxi dresses are popular, as are patterned shorts. Sperrys are really popular for footwear, but at 13 I don't recommend buying a pair. They can be expensive, and your feet might grow out of them within a year. Opt for some cute strappy sandals instead.

okay so i have naturally curly hair and i think its beautiful its like taylor swifts hair just shorter and not blonde i want to hear mostly from guys what hair you guys like better and girls you too

i'm just curious to see who's the winner!

I have really curly hair. Most guys generally say my hair looks better straight, but I think overall it really differs from guy to guy. It would probably be cute if you did an even mix of both in your day to day life.

do skirt boots and leeging go together?

Yes, so long as by "boots" you do not mean "Uggs." Never wear Uggs. Ever.

[view]

I want these boots but I don't know what brand they are. They say UGG but they're way too cheap. Here's the link: http://www.wearmi.com/Products.aspx?pid=907082038330814

They're UGGS, they're just on sale.

I have always liked short hair more than long hair, but I have never had short hair. My hair has been long for my whole life. I told my friend that i want to cut my hair really short, but she said not to because my hair is "really beautiful". I have always wanted to have short hair, but I dont feel like I would look good with it.

I have a big nose, and not very good bone structure (which is my problem), do you think I would still look ok with short hair? And I mean like very short hair. All the models I see with short hair have nice noses and bone structure.
I changed my yahoo avatar to have short hair, which is kinda my first step lol.
This is a bit like the style I want (but not the colour):

http://www.hji.co.uk/hjimages/images/qhs…

*What I look like*:
I have brown eyes, they are kinda small, but look big because of my make-up and eye colour, my nose is definately not my best feature (some people say it isn't big, but I know that it is), my skin isn't too good (but I wear make-up so that doesn't matter), and my mouth is small, but my lips are plump. I am very skinny (but not because I want to be), I don't have a chest, and I am a white 15 year old girl, and I am kinda tall.
*What my hair looks like currently*:
It runs down to the middle of my back, it is wavey (and usually frizzy). My natural colour is a dark blonde, but then I dyed it brown, then I washed the brown out, then it turned red, so I put blonde in it, and now it is a strawberry blone colour. And now I have regrowth but that doesn't matter because the colours are similar. My hair is parted in the middle but I am training my fringe to go to the side. I don't have a fringe (bangs), the front parts of my hair go past my ears.

Do you think someone that looks like this could pull off very short hair? But I want my hair to still be long enough that I can tie it into short piggy tails (the piggy tails will be messy, with alot of hair fallen out of them, so I will have layers in my hair, and basically people wont notice the piggy tails are there because they will be so small xD)

Anyways, please help me. And I need you to be HONEST. all my friends will say "No, don't wreck your hair" or "You do whatever you want with your hair". So please answer honestly!
If a picture of me or other hair styles is required, tell me, and I will put the pics.

Thank-you!

If you want to cut your hair, cut it. The other day my friend and I got in a huge argument over my hair. She told me I looked like a "pregnant woman who cannot take care of herself" when I had short hair. I LOVED my hair short. I think if you want to try it out, go for it. It's just hair- it grows back. Besides, what the hell do you friends care about what you look like? I often think it's ridiculous that friends find it OK to tell you how you should wear your hair, who you should date, etc.

So that kind of turned into a rant about how pissed off I am that people like to tell me how to wear my hair. What I'm trying to say is give it a shot. If it looks terrible, it'll grow back.

For halloween my friends and I don't want to use wigs because they arn't very realistic. We were deciding weather or not to use black hair dye. I have light brown hair. If I use black L'Oreal Colour Pulse will it actually wash out or will it become permanent?

I am unfamiliar with L'Oreal Colur Pulse, however, if it is a wash out it will not become permanent unless your hair is already color treated. It may take a few washes to come out, but it will. If you want the color to last for a while, get a demi-permanent dye.

What is your favorite outfit to wear to school? I'm looking for new ideas- I love almost anything :) Female-16.

I have a lot of fun with clothes broseph. I like wearing dresses with flats, sandals, or sometime heels. Skinny jeans and cute shirts or sweaters are good. I almost never wear tee shirts because I don't like the way they look on me. As far as shoes go, I do wear moccasins often.

[view]

i have really curly hair and i usually add baby oil or gel to keep it tamed but i always get an oily face and start to break out cause of the oil in my hair. what can i put in my hair instead that works with really curly hair?

I have very curly hair too. Garnier Fructis Curl Spray Gel is one of my favorite products. You can put it on both wet and dry hair. I also love dove mousse.

[view]

what are similar stores like forever 21, charlotte ruse, mandee, etc

Try Heritage 1981. It's owned by Forever 21, so obviously, it's similar.

http://www.forever21.com/heritage1981/default.asp

As the people below me stated, H&M and WetSeal are great stores too.

okay so my winter formal is in two weeks and i still dont have a dress ! my mom is letting me order one online since the dress stores around here dont have anything good. well im a bigger girl, not plus size, but like a large or extra large in regular sizes. and i need a dress that would flatter my figure, like one with an empire waist. so if anyone could give me some awesome sites or direct links to dresses like that, that would be amazing! my budget is under $100. thankyou!!

Of course, it would be much better to go to the store and try the dress on, but there are a few options for curvy girls that always look great.

http://store.delias.com/item.do?itemID=49417&categoryID=1836&sizeFilter=&colorFilter=&brandFilter=
This would be a very cute option. Since the dress flows away from the body, it hides any spots you may be embarrassed of.

http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=362297&CategoryID=18109
This dress is ADORABLE. Anything with a pleated bottom all over is really great. It kinda gives a nice Marlyn Monroe effect.

I can't seem to find a good one, however, wrap dresses look terrific on curvy figures. They create a great hour glass shape.

http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3427553&cp=2843536.2903751&view=all&parentPage=family
Remember that the perfect little black dress will always look fabulous on every woman. This is just an example, if you look around, I'm sure you can find one you love.

http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=dress_dressy&product_id=2057361021&Page=1
I secretly think you should buy this just because it is too fabulous not to...

so i'm a tomboy. well this is the first year i'm going to go trick or treating with guys. i don't wanna wear something like slutty. but not totally modest either. like something in between. something that would make me look good. like my friends being a mouse, the others a flight attendant. i really have no clue what i'm going to be. i need ideas!!!

How about a referee? It's sporty and sexy. Here is an example:

Yes, this one is a bit slutty, but it is possible for you to find a more modest version. This is a popular outfit, so you should be able to find it anywhere.

school is here. good bye summmer.
but im not sure as to what to wear the first day of school.
so advicenators, what are you wearing the first day of school? (ideas for me haha)

I'm wearing a yellow tank top with little black flowers on it and a vest over it. Then I'm wearing some dark wash skinny jeans and flip flops. Hopefully, it'll be cute :D.

[view]

Yeah, yeah a little early for costume shopping but whatever x].
So, I have been batman for the last, I don't know four years? I need a change.
That change is a LLAMA. Sad thing is I can't find a llama costume anywhere. I googled it and found nothing.
I was wandering is anyone knew were I could get a llama costumer or, how to make one?
thaaanks :].

SWEET BABIES I TOTALLY LOVE YOU! My dream is to ride a llama. Unfortunately, llamas back are not strong enough to support humans. However, in my opinion, knowing someone would want to make a llama costume is the next best thing.

Anyway...

This is probably an extremely hard costume to make. First, I'd say you should make a nice pair of llama ears. Do this by covering cardboard, which you should cut into the shape of llama ears, with cotton balls. This will give off a nice fuzzy appearance. You could wear all white, including a fuzzy sweater. You could also try and find a nice sheep costume and wear that with the ears you made. Your call. You'll probably have to explain to people what you are all day long, though, so be prepared for that.

I have this plain black babydoll top.
I love it but it's a bit plain so I thought teaming it with black skinny jeans, some heels and a gray,green,white or purple(these are the colors I have) cardigan and a few accessories.
This is for a night out, but not clubbing. More like sitting at a cafe type of place having drinks and talking with friends.

So what do you think?
Or anything I should add/change/remove?

I wouldn't recommend wearing black skinny jeans with it. That would honestly just be too much black. If the top is long enough, wear it without pants underneath. However, if the top is short enough to flash everybody on the street, wear a regular to dark wash skinny jean under it. Andy color cardigan would look cute, as would heels and accessories.

This is the best brand moccasin you will find. If you look around the site, you will find it isn't really cheap, but they are so warm and fuzzy and just so worth it!

are tote bags still in style for back to shool this fall?

Yep! Look for them at stores like Hollister, PacSun, Heritage 1981, American Eagle, etc.

Also, big purses are great to carry books in.

What is 'IN' right now?

pictures, stores, anything is helpful.

No abercrombie, hollister.

Real Big desighners that have stuff thats really in. Actually, i don't need desighners i really just need pictures.

I personally think fashion this year is better than it's been in years. Some great trends right now include:

Modern Hippie/Bohemian:
Bell bottom jeans, vintage jewelry, tie dye, and flowy shirts and making a come back. Ask your parents what they wore to Grateful Dead concerts, and dress accordingly.
