Hey Everyone!! My name is Jenelle and I'm a DIY fashion blogger over at Nelle Creations.

Shirt: Guess | Jeans: Levis via Marshalls | Flats: Call It Spring | Bag: Winners | Sunglasses: Ralph Lauren 

I'm so excited to be sponsoring this month with Messy Dirty Hair as I love Kelly's blog. My blog consists of a lot of DIY tutorials and daily fashion posts so if you like either of those I hope you can come and check it out.

About me:
I love all things fashion Marshalls & Winners addict

Love eating nachos with a nice cold beer

Watching Sex and the City

Summer time (Winter is not my friend and when you live in Canada it can get freezing!) And apparently playing on fire trucks! (When in Toronto, we were walking past a local Fire Station and were told we could snap some photos with the truck - why not right?)

With summer time coming up, I thought I would show you guys ways that you wear the same article of clothing in multiple ways.


I love clothes but I am a budget girl and don't believe in spending $1000's on one piece. I don't think people realize that with some imagination and little time playing dress up in your closet like you did when your little (I still so this!) you can re-create new outfits, outfits you see on Pinerest or other blog websites with all the clothes you already own and save yourself some mula!


And who doesn't want that?

I hope this gives you some new inspiration to go play around in your closet to see what you can come up with! In the mean time be sure to enter my giveaway so you can win some shopping money!




How great are her pinterest outfits?!? I love the creativity! SO today the fabulous Jenelle wants to help you with your shopping addiction and give you guys a chance to win some paypal CASH!

he's just not that into you

happy Sunday loves! so last night I attended an event at Nordstrom. If you haven't heard yet, the British brand TOPSHOP is now being sold in Nordstrom...& OMG its fabulous! They really went all out for the event! The clothes & accessories are so fun & funky! I can't wait to show you everything next week!

Soooo it is so freaking hott right now in the OC - we are reaching degrees of over 100...& to be honest we did not have this hott weather at all June & July...& then it slowly started to come in August & now I feel like we're in full blown summer mood! so you can imagine how upset I am that I haven't been able to wear any of my fall clothes....i mean I could but then I would probably loose 5 pounds from just sweating because I'm literally dying here....sweat is literally dropping off my body as I write this....but thank god I'm off to the beach today!! then to do a little birthday shopping for the sissy at my fav store...beach + shopping = perfect Sunday!

so today I am linking up with Ashley & Neely for Social Sunday! This weeks questions don't really have a theme but i still thought they were interesting so let's get social!

1.) 5 Items you can't live without on a daily basis (water, food, shelter, & clothes don't count)

-My EOS chap stick...literally the moment I realize I have forgotten my chap stick my lips become instantly chapped...& thank you Brie for introducing me to this wonderful chap stick!

via

-My deodorant & perfume...i have the worst fear of smelling bad

via

-Sadly my iPhone - I hate saying that because I wish I wasn't so depended on my phone but everything - work, blog, life goes on through my phone so I need it

remember the old cell phones - classic!...& I'm still obsessed with Zach Morris - via

-my music - whether it be in the car while driving, or at work in the office. i ALWAYS have my music going...one of my absolute favorite Pandora stations is Hall & Oats - try it...you can thank me later

via

- my TV - gotta have my tv shows

via

2.) All time favorite book? Why?

'He's Just Not that into You' - & here's why - it's dead on. There are so many girls who LOVE to make excuses for guys & reasons why he may not call or not want to be in a relationship...but here's a secret ---> guys aren't as complicated as you think. actually they're not complicated at all. if they want to call you they will. if they want to text you they will. if they want to see you they will. they're not dumb, like most girls like to think...they know exactly what they're doing & know exactly what to say to keep you still hanging around.

i use to read this book over & over in college...but yet I never followed what it said. i always had some excuse...but once i finally did things changed...so listen - if he likes you trust me you will know. you will NOT have to doubt yourself....now if you are doubting yourself then guess what - he's just not that into you. period. 

via

3.) Something you'd like to accomplish before the end of 2012?

Getting at least one of my credit cards paid off completely....& for the first time I can actually say I'm making a dent in them...are you proud Janna?!

via

 4.) If you could go back & relive any year of your life which year would it be?

My last year in San Diego {2008} - it was such a perfect year. I was finishing up my degree at SDSU, I lived RIGHT by the beach in PB, my studio apartment was so cozy & adorable & the BF got to live with me for a few months during the summer while he was transiting from norcal to socal. We had so much fun exploring San Diego together. One of my favorite things was our mornings on the weekend - we always went to our same breakfast place, had the same thing & walked the boardwalk. San Diego will always be a great memory for us.

 5.) What do you wish people knew about you without you having to tell them?

I give GREAT advice...really, I have references....& even though it may come off that I have a very hard exterior, the truth is inside, I have a huge generous heart...I've just been hurt too many times by friends & boys that sometimes its hard to bring it out right away. I have to be very weary...but I'm sure a lot of you have the same feelings...its tough being a girl

via

and just one more thing - if anyone ever needs boy or relationship advice please don't hesitate to email me - you can even be anonymous. I literally feel like an expert in guys & relationships so let me help, I WANT to help! - but be pre-warned I'll give it to you straight - no sugar coating. Again feel free to email me about anything -----> MessyDirtyHair@gmail.com

its like crack

hello loves & happy Sunday! So today I am off getting my hair dyed! oh yes that time has come again...however i am not just getting my roots done...it's time for a change...if you remember i have had an array of color changes throughout the years with my hair, from red to black to brown...you can check out all my previous hair colors HERE

so Ive been bleach blonde for about 2 years now which is way longer than usual...i usually change it up every year but i haven't been...

so I've decided its time to change up my hair color....what color you ask? well of course I'm not gonna tell you...you're gonna have to come back next week & see...but I will leave you with a hint....its something i haven't done yet, so its gonna be new..I'm excited.

ok moving on....so today I am back linking up with Neely & Ashley for Social Sunday..today's topic is online themed so lets get social!  

1.     What is the first website you log on to each day?

It would defiantly be Google to check my email, then I go to twitter & see what’s going on in twitter land…this is usually done in bed on my phone right after my alarm goes off…obsessed much?...then I proceed to read these blogs here, here & here....& then here, here  & here :)

via

2. Give us some funny websites you visit that we need to know about

I feel like I don’t go to funny websites...i never venture out & look for random things online...I'm usually online for a reason...boring i know..

3.    Pinterest or Facebook? Why?

Pinterest – it’s like crack. I just love looking at all the pretty pictures & colors plus there isn’t pinterest drama like there is with facebook



via



3.     Twitter or Instagram? Why?

Both...they're both fabulous in their own ways – twitter because I feel like you have way more freedom to say what you want plus following celebs is so fun & instagram because you can post as many pictures as you want without looking insane like you would on facebook filling up peoples news feed.

4.     Favorite YouTube video...posts it!

This is my favorite wedding proposal & this video makes me cry every.single.time....its about 5 minutes, but you have to watch the whole thing...let me know if it made you cry too

5.     Biggest online pet peeve?

Girls who constantly talk/post about being insecure but yet they post thousands of pictures of just themselves in all these seductive poses..Sorry hunny you’re not fooling anyone...people who post their entire lives & people who are constantly changing their profile picture weekly, even daily. Like really?!



via...i am guilty of the "duck face" once in awhile

show me your t*ts!

ok before i go into today's fashion post i have a funny story i just have to tell you...so i was driving home last night from work, sitting in traffic...i was just driving along listening to my music & enjoying my Starbucks cool lime refresher when i look to my right...& a piece of crap old grey car pulls up next me...there was a shaggy haired boy wearing big black sunglasses who looked about my age in the car....he looks at me & all of a sudden he holds up a sign in bold letters that reads "Show me your Tits!"..oh yes you read that right....i was dying of laughter..so much so that i accidentally spit my drink all over me...i looked at him, with my hand over my mouth still laughing & shook my head no...he then proceeded to point to the sign with a come on look...again I laughed while shaking my head no...clearly it wasn't gonna happen so he gave me the hang loose hand gesture & drove off into another lane looking for his next victim...i was still dying of laughter....only in California...

via....(not me or anyone i know)

ok moving on...so its no secret i love music. classic rock to be exact. i live for music. whether i am driving in my car, cleaning my room or at the office my music is always blasting....just to name a few of my favorites - The Beatles, Zeppelin, Crosby Seals & Nash, Hall & Oats, Elton John...i could go on. If you wanna hear more about my music OBSESSION you can check out this post HERE...

so have you seen the movie Almost Famous? well if not please stop reading this post & go rent it RIGHT THIS SECOND...you can thank me later....for those of you who have, penny lane - yeah I wish i was her..on top of me wishing i was a hippy, being a band groupie has always been a fantasy too...& not a groupie in toady's music, back in the 60s & 70s....

back in high school i was SO that girl who went to concerts all the time & followed all the underground bands...back in the day we called them EMO....some of my favs were Saves the Day, Julianna Theory, Get Up Kids, Dashboard Confessional, Something Corporate (still my absolute favorite)...those kinda bands

 So a lot of my style & the looks i put together are inspired by that rocker look..i like to call it Rocker Chic ...i have a fun pinterest board dedicated to my love of rock & roll called I'm with the band....with inspirations to add some Rockto your outfits...

Top: Feel the Piece ::  Leggings: H&M :: Booties: Sam Edelman via Nordstrom Rack :: Lace Bra: Urban Outfitters

Originally that was a top I got from a good friend of mine, but since I am such a shorty I decided to pair it with leggings & turn it into a tunic....I cannot tell you the amount of times I am shopping & a girl picks up a longer shirt & goes "what on earth would I wear with this?! its so long"....ladies, either tuck it in with some high waisted jeans or pair it with some leggings...just because the shirt is extra long doesn't mean you have to pass on it...one of my favorite looks is a long top over leggings - its comfy, easy & chic....& i know a lot of people do not think leggings are pants, & you're right but with the right top or dress they can be pants...try it sometime & have some fun!
