Hey, I'm Melody! I've been giving advice on and off since 2003. I'm a 23 year old military wife, expecting a baby boy in August, and working on my Bachelor's degree. :)
Oh, and ask me anything!
Advice
I found these shoes on a blog website & have fallen in love.

It's hard to say exactly where they came from, but I would imagine that UrbanOutfitters would have the same, if not extrememly similiar pair. Try their website.
Other options may be Forever21, Aldo, or Topshop.

I want a smaller nose. My nose is huge and weird and I feel like it's the only feature any guy sees sometimes. I know I am beautiful inside but my nose keeps me from showing it. It's just so big. All of my life kids picked on me and would call me elephant and stuff because it's so big on my face. I know you can have a nose reduction surgery done and nose plastic surgery and was wondering about how much that usually costs so I can save up for it?
It's called a rhinoplasty, and occasionally insurance will cover this only because having a large or unnatural nose can cause breathing problems. If you don't have any kind of health related problems, the price is going to be much more.
The price of a rhinoplasty will cost anywhere from three to eight thousand dollars.

With all that being said, if you are just doing this for aesthetic reasons, reconsider. I have wanted a breast augmentation for a long time, but the truth is it's just not neccessary. You were born with the body and nose you have for a reason. Learn to love it. Remember plastic surgery doesn't always go right. People get botched jobs all the time and end up coming out worse than they went in. Think long and hard about this. It's like a tattoo, once you do it there really isn't any going back.

okay i'm 16 and i lost 30 pounds but I still have a little of a tummy, so i was thinking of wearing a corset, but i wonder if teens wear them? Im not trying to wear one to be trashy
Don't wear a corset. Lose the weight the old natural way! Corsets are very bad for you, especially if you plan on wearing them in a continuous fashion.
I completely understand your problem though, because I have the same one! My a pair of spanx. I wore a pair on my prom night, and it worked miracles.
Go to ebay, and search "spanx" and then choose a pair!

Skinny jeans, fitted tshirt, & flats or flipflops. You don't want to be uncomfortable, especially at a concert.

i know its early, but i already got my homecoming dress (GOOD sale) .. i dont know if i like it or not tho, im gonna decide today if i wanna keep it or return it. but one of the prblms is, it has a really low back that kinda like, laces up, but its open .. u know what i mean?? wat kind of bra can i wear with it .. its too low for a strapless one (but it would hafta be strapless) .. and the "backless" styles come like all the way down to your belly button and are kinda constricting, and i dont wanna be like that for homecoming .. so do you know of any other types that would hold up good for the whole night but still be comfy??
thanks TONS

You can get adhesive nude colored bras that have no back at all. You can get them at a lot of different stores, but they are especially cheap on ebay. The brand I like is "Nubra"

no mascara or anything else just eyeliner on lower eyelid.
I have a friend thta only wears eyeliner on her lower lid. She wears mascara though.
As long as it's a charcoal or not to dark it should look fine. It all depends on how you do it.

I got a new job at yd. Its my first job and I have NO idea how to dress up for it. I have to dress up a little formal, I guess. I have a load of casual clothes, or so I think and I am SO stuck and lost and confused as to what to wear. Its a menswear store. I dont think jeans and a top would do it. I've seen how some people dress up and they wear dresses and that. I'm honestly not a dress person. Please help me!!
I'm so lost and confused and work starts next week! Please help!
I like elegant and classy, and very lady-like. Not something slutty or anything unprofessional, yet.. Not TOO professional with the whole business suit, because that is a little too much. I feel.
Thank you in advance!
Charlotte Russe is a good place to shop for outfits like this. They have a filter on the side that is for "day at the office" That's what you should look into :)

I got my nails done (a full set) and they've grown out. I can't afford to get them filled or to go back to the place to get them removed. Last time, I tried tearing them off myself, but it took a week and they looked miserable. So is there anything cheap I can buy at that store that will take them off?
Soak them in nail polish remover that has acetone in it. Then work them loose. Your nails are going to look weak and brittle no matter if you take them off yourself or have the salon do it for you. That's what stinks about acrylic nails.

For prom I'm wearing this dress in purple:

And I deffinitely want to do my hair up, do I was looking for some ideas. I was thinking side swept or maybe tousled and pulled back with curls. I'd appreciate any pictures or ideas! I have auburn hair if it helps and I'm wearing dangly earrings.
Thanks so much!
I love the back of that dress :)
I think a french twist would be your best bet since it's so simple and elogant. If you are wearing big earrings, then your hair won't have to be extravagent.
Example:

A side-swept pony would be cute too.

I'm going to a concert (Muse, if it matters), and it's my first, so I'm not sure what I should wear.
Things to keep in mind:
- I will be standing and am going several hours early, so I'll be there a long time. I know I need to wear comfy shoes.
- I want to look cute.
- I'll be getting there at 3 and the concert starts at 8.
- If it matters what I look like: five eight, average weight, pale skin, dark brown hair and brown eyes
Anything, whether it's general or specific (even makeup/hair ideas), would be really helpful. Thanks.
You have a lot of options. It all depends greatly on the weather, so keep that in mind as well.
- Skinny Jeans (black)

White skinny jeans.
That would be absolutely adorable :)

Hey!!
I was just wondering, if anyone could tell me the different between regular Acrylic tips & Solar Nails?
Thanks. :)
I would assume the biggest difference is that solar nails are more durable. You can lay in the tanning bed without them turning a dull or yellow shade. The link I provided you with also claims they last longer, meaning fewer fill-ins.

What are some stores that would let me start a clothing line? Like, Kohl's, Macy's. Thanks!
No store until you start a business of your own. Professional stores won't let just anyone sell clothes at their stores. It's much more complicated then that. Even Lauren Conrad is having a hard time starting her own fashion line, and she is famous. Dream big though :)
If your clothes are really good, go to college and get a business degree. If the college offers a fashion major, go for it. Start your own boutique. That's the best way to get your fashion line out there and seen while making money. Every career has to start somewhere. Good luck!
EDIT: White is a professional athlete. Meaning he has tons of sponsors and tons of opportunities to get his clothes out there. He could write is name on a pair of sweatpants and people would buy them because of the name on them. That's the difference.

Hi :)
Well for the longest time I have been wanting to go Emo style on my hair. I have really thick, wavy hair that comes down to the middle of my back. The thing were I am stuck is I have nooooooooo idea how to go about it. I don't have a ton of money to spend by going to a salon so that is out of the question. I was thinking...Do you do it yourself? If you go into a hair dresser place do you say you want an emo cut? (I did that last time and they didn't seem to have the slightest idea of what I was talking about lol) I went again and said I wanted it "Choppy" and I STILL didn't get the haircut I wanted! I even bought 2 pictures and it was STILL way off. -,- Now I'm finally giving up and was thinking of doing it myself...but I don't think that's the smartest idea. Can anyone help me out? I have a Fantastic Sams and a Super Cuts near me if that helps...
Thanks
Take a picture of the haircut you want, and tell them that is EXACTLY how you want it. I took in a picture one time, and the hairdresser had the nerve to say, "I don't think you will like that, so I am going to do it like this instead." It burnt me up so bad!
You have to stand your ground. Walk in and say, "I want my hair to look just like this picture." If you still don't get the results you want, ask them to re-do it, giving specific, but polite, instructions on what you want different.

hi 14f
I don't know if I have dry skin or not but i just put on my make up and my face feels real dry and itchy..would it make my face oily if i put some lotion on my face..i tried that before and my face felt like it was on fire haha Any thing i could do?? I don't want to by anything ..like all the expensive stuff. haha
thanks!
If you have sensitive skin, the foundation could be irritating it. That's my bet, since lotion burns your face as well.
If you don't have horrible acne, try using Cetaphil face wash and moisturizer. I have light to moderate acne, and Cetaphil keeps my skin relatively clear. The moisturizer will help keep your skin hydrated without making it oily as well. It is very good for sensitive skin, and it's not expensive at all.
You should definitely switch foundations as well. I just started using Loreal Bare Naturale mineral makeup, and I love it! It's relatively expensive, but it's worth it. It's great for sensitive skin, and you can get as much or as little coverage as you want. I didn't think I would be a fan of mineral makeup at all, but I gave it a shot and I am glad I did. You should try it out. I only bought the foundation, but they also sell mineral concealer, eye shadow, glow, blush, and finish.

I want to get a piercing. I am thinking clit piercing..how can i get this being under 18 without a parents permission? [RI]
Any legit piercing parlor will require proof of age or parental consent. Besides, you will probably have to be 18 anyway to get any kind of genital piercing.
I got my belly button pierced when I was fourteen, and I had to go to the DMV and get proof of identification. I had my mom with me when I went too. More than likely you won't be able to get this done until you are 18 or older.
The way I look at it, if you want it bad enough, you will still want it when you are 18.

okay,
so I have long-ish brownish hair.
I never have enough time in the morning to do anything to my hair.
I usually go to school with my hair looking like crap.
Sometimes i'll show in the daytime :
then let me hair air-dry and then straighten it at night.
(my hair takes an hour to straighten because its naturally very curly and thick)
So, some ideas of what I can do thats EASY and doesn't take too long.
& please don't send me to a website, because I could just do that. I want somebodys personal opionion.
=)
Scrunch it. If you have curly/thick hair, embrace it. If it wants to curl, let it curl. As soon as you get out of the shower, towel dry it and then put some frizz serum on it. Use Aussie Sprunch Spray, and scrunch away.
I think scrunched hair is adorable, and since mine is straight as an arrow and flat as a pancake, I never get to do it. Enjoy the thick hair you were blessed with. :)

I'm having a candy themed sweet 16 next month and I wanna wear a cocktail dress but my mom doesn't want me to because all my guests will probably be in cocktail dresses. What do you suggest I wear then?:)
xoxoxoxoxo
If everyone is wearing cocktail dresses then you should wear a simple floor length evening gown. Nothing too fancy, but something that will make you stick out from everyone else.

where could i get a dress like that cheaper? under $50 would be great! thankss =]
Forever21 has already been mentioned, but that would be an excellent place to look. Also check out Charlotte Russe. They have a website, and I found a few dresses that were very similiar.
