"Jasmine know two things: one, she loves her vulnerable sister unconditionally, and will fight to the death to protect her from anyone who upsets her. Two, she's only ever been good at one thing – her job helping business start-ups.

So when she’s sacked and put on gardening leave, Jasmine realises that she has nothing else to fill her life. Insomnia keeps her staring out of her bedroom window, and she finds herself watching the antics of her neighbour, shock jock Matt, with more than a casual eye. Matt is also taking a forced leave of absence from work, after one of his controversial chat shows went too far…

Jasmine has every reason to dislike Matt, and the feeling appears to be mutual. But not everything is as it seems, and soon Jasmine and Matt are forced to think again…"

Wedding season is here! And the pressure of not knowing what to wear is on. But I think that the key lies in knowing what suits your body and makes you comfortable.
Also people sometimes go crazy in dressing up for weddings, which doesn't turn out to be nice in most cases. Simplicity in dressing shows more sophistication.

If your dress is a little bold then you might want to simplify jewelry and shoes. And if your dress is simple you can make it more dressy by bold and statement accessories.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

                           
My dress have my two favorite colors: Black and baby pink. My clutch is black prada and my golden crown is from forever21.
One last advice: Never wear uncomfortable heels because you will regret it when you choose style over comfort (personal experience :p).

As when it comes to choosing books, it can get tricky and confusing.That's why I figured I would make a list with my friends about our favorite books and tell you why we love them and recommend them.

The Fault In Our Stars(By John Green)

Romance/Young-Adult Fiction

" I love it because it is real, it's full of events from real life, not same cheesy story where the hero gets the heroine in the end. Also since I kept crying while reading it.

Popular Science

"I love science and this book quenches my thirst for knowledge, it talks about many aspects of physics and makes me want to dive deep into every single one of them. The book talks about the universe, our view of it, its birth, and its destiny. It explains theories like relativity and the theories on quantum mechanics in simple terms. It also discusses blackholes and wormholes, a subject that the author, a physicist and cosmologist and who's one of the most important living geniuses, has contributed to a lot."

So I recently discovered this awesome way to create loose-everyday curls. I cant believe I didn't try it before! It is so easy, takes 5-10 minutes max. and appropriate to all hair types even the hardest to style. 

   

You Need :Straightener

Steps: - Take big section of hair, twist it around itself.

           - Go over the twisted hair strand with the straightener and hold for a few seconds on each part.

           - Do this to all of your hair.

           - Loosen the curls using your fingers.

Tip: Add hairspray or sea salt spray for more texture and longer lasting curls.

Today morning I arrived at work and then suddenly decided to draw something, as it's been awhile since I drew anything. So I thought I will get some inspiration from (girly_m).

We all experience those days when our rooms are so messy, we can't find any item. It can really get frustrating especially if we don't have time to organize it. But now summer is here and most of us get more time on hand. Organizing is typical and everyone knows how to do it,but i'm going to show you some cool DIYs for storage and decoration that I have been seeing everywhere online.

1.Labeled Storage Bins:

(You need: Bins/labels)

Storage bins are a very nice way to store random stuff, you can also use patterned ones to store perfume, shampoo, body products... As well you may label them for easier access.

2. The heart shaped photo collage:
(You need: 41 same size photos/duck tape)

For the same size as in the picture, you need 41 photos, you can go online and print out whatever inspires you, Then you start from sticking the photos on the wall from the bottom(easier) and continue to form a shape of a heart .

3.The weekly planner:

(You need:7 clothespins/ 7 pieces of paper/ pen /string)

Start by marking each clothespin by a day name and then use it to hang the paper that holds your to do list and important appointments to the sting. Hang it on the wall.

4.The Cables/Chargers separator:

(You need:Toilet rolls/decorative washing tape)

Decorate your toilet rolls with washing tap, then wrap your chargers and cables and place them inside the rolls. This will prevent them from tangling and will organize your drawers and storage places.

5.The Mugs:

(You need:flowers/Mugs)

Mugs can be used for decoration.

Also they can be used as a storage.

6.The Wire Bins Shelves:

(You need:wire bins/ hammer/ nails)

This is a perfect way to recycle. You need to place the bins on the wall and then organize your stuff in it.

7.Colorful Calendar:

(You need:Paint color samples/sharpie/glue/scissors)

Choose 7 different colors and their degrees and then cut them and number them according to a month.

Glue them on a cardboard and you have a calendar.

From hipster to bohemian to girly, styles are so various, so it can be a little hard and tricky to find your style, And sometimes we like more than one.

 Girly style reflects feminine side.And in order to get this look you need to:

1.Wear pastels colors or bright colors, but if you're going for a more formal look, choose the subtle colors like white, coral, black, baby pink..

2.Own more skirts and dresses. They don't have to be dressy, you can find many comfortable and cute ones,

3.Accessorize your look with statement jewelry, or even delicate pieces. Fake diamonds or pearls will instantly add the bling and girly touch to your look. But don't over wear accessories as this might not seem very chic.

4. Wear heels.ballet flats and sandals, You can also wear sneakers if you chose the right style and color(ex.pink converse).

5.Add hair accessories, nothing shouts girly more than bows or cute bandana, But bows do it most.

6. Choose floral patterns. Flowers can do a great job at reflecting a girly/feminine style.

7. Focus on bright lip colors when it comes to lipsticks and lipglosses. Pinks and fuschia are perfect for this look.

8. Always have neat nails. Keep them clean and coated with nice colors of nailpolish.

9. Keep your hair healthy and well-styled. Straightened or curled, and add a cute hair accessory.

10.Wear perfume all the time, if you want to be girly, then you need to smell yummy. Choose a perfume with a soft/sugary scent.
