I think we can all agree that Dr.Martens are in style, but we just don't know how to wear them.

For plain ones, just the simple combination of tights, a skirt, and a graphic tee make a great putfit. Not much more is needed.

For patterned, I chose to demonstrate floral. For a feminine look, all you need is skinny jeans, a nude colored sweater, pearl necklace, and a nude bag.

Last but not least, we have metallic. I'd suggest you have fun with cut-off shorts, fishnet tights, a cute tank, and a neutral blazer.

Give me an hour a day, and I'll get you in shape for basketball season.

Have you ever felt horribly weak after only shooting baskets for ten minutes?

Just imagine yourself being the star of the team, and all you had to do was work out an hour a day.

Well here's how to make that happen!

I have come up with a workout schedule to keep me in shape for basketball season. It adds up to an hour a day, and is very simple.

-Do simple strecthes, like toe touch and lifting your leg, for five minutes.

-Run for five more minutes

-Do dribbling drills, such as down with left and back with right, reverse suicides, and breakdowns for ten minutes.

-Work on freethrows for five minutes

-work on layups for five minutes

-Shoot for ten minutes

-run around the block once, or your house a few times

-end by doing a few stretches again



So, now that you've got guidlines for a good workout, why don't you get off the computer and go start?

How to incorporate bits of zebra print into your outfit.



First of all, you'll need an outfit. Since the zebra print will be your main pattern, you should probably wear a plain black sweater, skinny jeans, and ankle booties. Next, find some zebra printed accesories. A scarf, feather earrings, and a clutch would be great. Add these finishing touches, an TA-DA! You have a zebra inspired outfit.

5 reasons you should read the Harry Potter books

I'll probably end up doing so many more in my head, but I'm gonna limit myself to five.

1. People will stop bugging you about reading them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Before I started reading them, people were always bugging me nonstop to read them. Who knows, you might find out you like them.

2. You'll feel like you are going on the adventure with him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
While I was reading them, I'd have all kinds of daydreams and fantasies. I really felt like I was right there with them all.

3. You won't be able to put them down.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm reading them for the 7th time through since I've had them since Cristmas. Need I say more?

4.You will end up crying when some of the main characters die.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
You know it's a good book if it'll make you cry.

5. It's just a great book that I know you'll LOVE.

How to wear patterned scarves.



A trend i'm really into is patterned scarves. With these babies, it doesn't take long to come up with a stunning outfit. All you've got to remember is that when you wear them, they are the centerpiece of your outfit and don't need much more.

First, you need to have a scarf. Pick one that is not to wild, and has a few different colors in it. Then, start creating your outfit. I'd reccomend a plain tee in a color included in the scarf, a nice pair of jeans, your choice of cut (I prefer skinny jeans), and a good pair of shoes. Ankle booties would be great, but pumps, and ballet flats would work well too.

Add any other small accesories you want (like hoop earrings, and bangles) and ta-da! Your outfit is complete.

What's in and how to wear it.



Animal printed jeans are so in this season, but how do you wear them? To pull off this look, I would recommend a grey pair, but I will help with both.

GREY: for the grey ones, stick with a black top, grey blazer and some cute ankle booties. To add color, stick with just a few accesories, like a cut purse, and some bangles.

OTHER: For other colors, stick with neutrals like above, and a small accesory, like a headband or scarf, in the color of the jeans.
