If you're looking for the iconic fashion blog, it has moved to LiveIconic.blogspot.com. Even if you're not looking for it, check it out; it's pretty cool.
The title of this blog is 'Blog of Barbie' because I want to become like Barbie. Plastic. I want to mold myself into something better. Not necessarily six-foot-four, 110 lbs, and with a chest size of 32DD. I don't want to be Barbie in her material aspects: I want to be Barbie in her ability to be anything by changing her outfit. I want to change myself like that, hopefully to be a better, more social, and happier person.
I'm not going to pretend I'm not superficial. I'd like to be pretty too, of course. ;)
Who I am right now: 18 years old, community college student, 7 months pregnant, 162 lbs, grown-out faded hair that was once blond and black, lots of split ends, almost no social life. I will be giving up my baby girl for adoption, so as of about September first, I have my whole life to devote to becoming the person I want to be. I wish I could do so much more right now, but it is extremely difficult for me to exercise in my present state. I also have been practically bedridden with chronic fatigue and pain, which my doctor recently attributed partly to depression, and I was put on Zoloft about a week ago, so hopefully things will continue to get better. =) I also recently found out I'm anemic, which has been contributing to my inability to even do simple house-cleaning tasks, but hopefully an iron supplement will remedy that soon.
Anyway, I hope you find my journey interesting or even inspiring, and feel free to comment or follow! I appreciate any support I get. =) | This blog is moving!

If you are interested in timeless and classic fashion, you will be interested to know that this blog is moving to Live Iconic. Check it out; I'm sure you'll love it.
This blog will become my personal fashion blog, rather than an informational fashion blog. If you're interested in fashion and don't mind reading about how it pertains to me, as well as my personal fashion endeavors, keep following this blog! But if you're interested in learning how to make yourself iconically fashionable, check out the new blog.
Thanks for reading, and I hope the change makes the specific fashion information you want more conveniently accessible to you! | The Things You Should Always Have In Your Purse

We've all had some sort of emergency, usually before an important meeting or during a big date. You don't need your whole makeup bag to fix them, but usually, something is needed. So how do you decide what to stuff into your purse? Here's the top ten:
1- Mirror. A lot of disasters can be avoided simply by knowing that something is wrong. Make a habit of taking a quick glance whenever you move from one place to another, get in or out of your car, visit the restroom, are waiting for somebody, etc. People have gone into meetings with a pinto bean stuck to their forehead simply because they didn't know it was there. As you do when you're driving, utilise the mirror often.
2- Blotting paper. If you have an oily face, trying to fix it with powder before an important event will only cause the makeup to slide of your face, accentuate pores and wrinkles, and turn into a glossy shine before the event is over. Find a quality blotting paper (some made of rice paper are excellent; you can buy an affordable version at Bath&Body for about $5), and when you see shine, eliminate it. If you have especially oily skin, step into the loo every few hours and you'll keep up your matte appearance throughout the night.
3- Chapstick. Way more important than lipstick or lipgloss. Even if your color is fading, chapstick will smooth it out and add shine. Chapstick can also be used to cure flyaways- just rub your forefingers over the chapstick, and run the TINY amount over your hair. In a crunch, chapstick can also be used as emergency moisturizer if you have excessively dry skin.
4- Gum. Nothing ruins a first impression like bad breath or lettuce between your teeth. Make it a habit to chew it between every meal. Get a whitening version, and you'll double the benefits. Also, you'll be less likely to snack throughout the day if you're occupied with chewing gum.
5- Nail clippers. In addition to curing hangnails, nail clippers can be used as scissors to remove stray strings on your clothing, without unravelling or running the material.
6- Clear nail polish. Fix broken nails, make chipped nail polish less obvious, and rescue detaching fake nails. Also run clear nail polish over a small hole in run in hose or tights to prevent them from spreading, or use after the nail clippers to prevent the newly-trimmed loose string from unravelling.
7-Tampons. This should be a no-brainer. You never know when you'll have a sudden early start, and the last thing you want is to walk around in a stained skirt. Almost nothing could be worse.
8- Ibuprofen. Once again, you never know when your little gift will decide to strike, turning you from presentation-ready and confident into a cramped, crumpled mess on the office table. You never want a headache to ruin a good date or your sore feet to stop you in your tracks. If you're also prone to other troubles, consider Tums, allergy medication, etc.
9- Purse-size Kleenex. You never want to need one and not have one, and you never know when it is you'll need one. Or when you'll forget to make sure there's toilet paper before sitting down.
10- A pen. How many times have you thought 'I wish I had a pen right now?' Exactly. Go put one in your purse before you forget. |
