5 Amazing Outfits I Styled For My Amazing Mom
Alexis Carter-Ouimette

Mom's are awesome, we all know that. My mom, in particular, is a little bit extra awesome, for obvious reasons like giving birth to me. But aside from that, my mom does so many other great things that make her awesome. She raised my sister and I as a single parent, works a full time job, and is always involved in our extra curricular activities. All of that, plus the other amazing things she does, you can only imagine how busy her life can get. So over spring break I decided to style 5 different outfits for my awesome mom, keeping in mind that she is busy and on the go. These 5 outfits not only celebrate my mom as a confident, beautiful, curvy woman, but celebrate women everywhere who may not take the time to celebrate themselves. No matter your shape, size, color, or even how busy your schedule is, you deserve to feel beautiful, confident, even a little sexy. And you definitely deserve to look fabulous. So remember ladies, while your busy making everyone else smile, don't forget to live your life for you too.

When putting these outfits together I made sure to keep in mind my mom's own personal style, like her love for leather jackets and anything else that comes from Torrid. I also tried to take her out of her comfort zone with lots of bright colors. Remember that clothing is just an expression of who you are, so wear what makes you comfortable. But don't be afraid to try new things!

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Letter To My High School Friend Group

The girls I will never forget.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
