Hello all! This past Christmas, I got my first iPhone, an iPhone 4, and I immediately HAD to get some cute cases! I found a bunch of really cute, cheap cases at Best Buy on sale, and now I wanted to show them to you all and review them!

You won't believe it, but this case was only 50 cents! That's right, 50 cents- with free shipping! :) You can't do better than that. I really love this case, it's SO cute! I'm really into anchors, and it's one of my favorite colors. The only problem I have with it is that it's gotten dirty kind of easily. Around the corners and the edges, it's started to get dirty, which you can kind of see in this image. I don't know if that's a result of the light color, or if it's bad material, or what it is. Maybe from sliding it in and out of my back pocket? I'm not sure. I kind of hate to use it now, because I don't want it to get dirtier. It's such a great case though, that I'm kind of disappointed. I would still give it 3/5 stars, though.

I have mixed feelings about this case. I think that it's REALLY cute, but it's not very protective.

See, I wish that this area was covered. Plus, the case is really just plastic, so I don't think that it would keep my phone safe were it to drop or something. It's so cute though, so I'm a bit torn. It also was REALLY hard to take off- it took me a good ten minutes to get it off of my phone. It wasn't expensive though, I got it on sale for around four dollars. Originally though, it was thirty- that's insane! I can't imagine paying that much for this case. It's cute, but it's really not that great. I would probably only give this case 2/5 stars.

 

This case. THIS. CASE. I am so torn. First off, let's just say-the case is flat out adorable. But there's this problem. 

 I don't know if you can tell from this photo, but the turquoise is this weird patent leather insert. I just really don't like that. It honestly looks like heavy duty cardboard. I mean REALLY? And this case was originally $35!! Granted, I only got it for four, but still, why would you price it $35 in the first place? I also just don't feel like it gives much protection. It's pretty much the same as the pink and gold case, protection-wise. Ugh. I just wish that this case was better made. I've got to only give it 1/5 star.

Edit: I hadn't used this case much when I wrote this post, so I have one thing to add. Using this case took my cell service away! Almost immediately after I put it on, my phone had to search for a signal. Then it lost it completely. After popping it off, I regained three bars instantly. Are you kidding me? Um, can I give it 0 stars?

This case is my absolute FAVORITE. It's probably the best case that I've ever owned, iPhone or otherwise. It's an adorable print, and it doesn't get dirty easily like the anchor one. I've had it on my phone almost constantly, and it's still in pretty much perfect condition. It also protects my phone really well, as I've dropped it several times, and my phone is still safe! ;) My old phone had tons of chips and scratches, so I'm determined to keep this one in good condition! Anyways, I love this case so much. And it was only twenty-five cents! I really can't believe that I got these cases so cheap. 

So, I just thought I'd share these cases with you. The two that I really liked, the anchor case and the diagonal striped case, were by Dynex. The other two were by Incase.

Where do you buy your phone cases?

Little Moments :)

Hello everyone! I was flipping through my camera, and found a bunch of pictures from the past week or so that I never got around to sharing with you all. :)

Valentine's Day Breakfast!! Yum! :) My doughnut had a little tumor-thing haha. ;) I love Krispy Kreme's Valentine's Day doughnuts. They're some of the best doughnuts that they have all year, at least in my opinion! <3 And isn't the mug hilarious? I love it. It's so me!!

Valentine's Day decorations! Cute "LOVE" blocks and candles. :)

I recently got these pajamas from Forever 21, and I'm absolutely in love. They're so comfortable, and so cute!! The shorts have little cats all over them, and the shirt is just hilarious. These are definitely my new favorite pajamas! I think that they were around twelve dollars, which is a great price for such cuteness! See, the cats are already being drawn from all over ;)

Flowers!! My dad brought us home some flowers on Valentine's Day, and the lighting was so good that I had to take some fun pictures. :)

We found this shirt at JC Penney for ten dollars, I just love it! You all know that I'm a Disney freak, and Cinderella is actually one of my dream roles on Broadway. :) Plus, I also have a *teensy* shoe obsession!! This shirt is perfect!

Well, I hope that you've enjoyed this little post! It's just kind of a post full of randomness, but hopefully you've found it entertaining! :)

Valentine Idea For Friends + Lazy Saturday OOTD!

Hello, ladies! So, today I had TWO posts that I wanted to share, so I'm combining them all into this one! I'm super excited to share this fun Valentine's Day idea for your friends, and I had this really cute Lazy Day OOTD that I also am excited to show you all!

So, if you ask me, Valentine's Day really seems to sneak up on us. Before you can turn around, it's February, and by then we only have TWO measly weeks until Valentine's Day! It always seems like I'm scrambling around at the last minute trying to come up with ideas for cards or gifts for my friends on Valentine's Day. This is a really quick, easy idea that I also think is really sweet and thoughtful.

Disclaimer: I am not an artist, nor do I claim to be. I'm much more comfortable creating pictures out of words than I am drawing them out! Thus, the following images are not exactly beautiful. Trust me, I'm fully aware of it. :P

14 Reasons I Love You!! 

So, I've seen this idea around for lots of different holidays, but I decided to put a Valentine's Day spin on it! After all, Valentine's Day is on February 14th, so why not come up with 14 reasons that you love someone?

Supplies-wise, all you need for this gift is some regular white paper, and some bright colored pens. You could really use anything here, (Sharpies, markers, colored pencils, etc) but I kind of have an obsession with colored pens, so I decided to use them.

So, first, you make a pretty heading (to the best of your artistic abilities ;) !), preferable with lots of color!!! I liked adding some little hearts around the heading as well.

 

Next, just start making your list!!! It's super easy, and the person that you give it to is sure to love it. After all, who WOULDN'T love a list of why somebody loves them? It's super sweet. :)

I also wanted to share with you all this OOTD!! I've never really done OOTDs before, so if you like this post, comment below and let me know!

This outfit is super cozy and comfortable, and it's also really cute! It's pretty unusual for me to look cute at home, usually I just wear anything comfortable. Last weekend though, my mom found this Lion King sweatshirt at Wet Seal, and I fell in love! You all know that I absolutely adore the Lion King, so whenever I see something that involves the Lion King, it's quite hard for me to resist buying it!

Anyways, here's where I bought everything..

Sweatshirt- Wet Seal

Leggings- Forever 21 (Let me just say, oh my gosh. F21 leggings are the best! They are sooo comfortable, I love them.)

Beanie- I actually crocheted this! I was quite proud of myself haha ;)

So there you have it, my lazy day OOTD! 

Well, that's all for today! If you liked this post or have anything to say, please comment below, I love hearing from you all! And if you make your own 14 Reasons I Love You, comment a link below :) Thanks for reading!

Disney Tsum Tsums!

Guys, I have a new obsession. Well, it's not exactly new. Over the past month, it's been growing and growing. But I'm absolutely in love. If you haven't heard of them yet, then let me introduce....Disney's Tsum Tsums!!!

They are absolutely the CUTEST things in the world. I got a Marie Tsum Tsum for Christmas, and here's what she looks like-

Isn't she adorable??? Tsum tsums are these cute, roly-poly stuffed animals that you just want to hug to death. This is a larger version, I happen to love the little ones as well.

I'm seriously in love. They're just so tiny and cute! The smaller ones average around five dollars each, while the larger ones go for around twelve or thirteen dollars each. If I had enough cash, let me just tell you, I would get one of each character!!!

Oh! And just when you think it can't get better, it does. They also have an app!

The app is free (at least in the Apple store, I don't know about Android. Sorry! Android users, let me know!), but I would probably buy it if it wasn't, and I never actually buy apps. I know, I'm weird, but I don't see a ton of point in paying money just for a game. You connect the adorable Tsum Tsums, earning coins to buy more Tsums to play with. It's very simple, and I've got to say, it's addictive! My favorite Tsum to play as so far would have to be Maleficent, with Marie being a close second. On my app, I've tried playing as Micky, Minnie, Woody from Toy Story, Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Anna from Frozen, The White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, and Goofy. Marie and Maleficent work the best consistently, so I love them.

Have you tried playing Tsum Tsums? If not, I highly recommend that you go and try it, ASAP! :)

Tutorial Tuesday- Binder Covers!!!

Hi everyone! So, for today's Tutorial Tuesday post, I decided to show you how I make my binder covers. Since it's the beginning of a new semester, it's a perfect time to spice up those boring binders from last semester. After all, in my opinion, it's a lot easier to deal with having to look at those evil school supplies every day if they're pretty!!

Step One : Pick a background print!

So, what I like to do is to go to Google and type in, "_______ iPhone background. " In this case, I wanted a yellow chevron print, so I type in "Yellow Chevron iPhone background". iPhone backgrounds are the best to use because they're rectangular like a sheet of paper.

Step Two : Open Word and insert your image!

Step Three : Resize the Image


To do this, all you do is resize the margins so that they are at 0, and then drag the image out to take over the entire sheet of paper. :)

Step Four : Celebration!! :D

Woo hoo! You've gotten this far!! It took me a good hour to figure out how to do this my first time, but then again, I didn't have a tutorial to teach me! Anyways, now you have your pattern covering your screen, so congratulations!!! It should look something like this-

Step Five : Add your text

Now, you'll want to put the subject name! All that you have to do is create a text box and drag it where you'd like on the paper. Then, type your subject name.

But don't worry, it won't look this blah for long!!! Because....

Step Six : Cute-ify Your Cover!!!!

That's right ladies, time for the best part- making it look cute!!! :) I like to center the title, and then put it in a cute font. My favorite font on Word is Curlz MT. It's so cute and girly!!

Step Seven : Add some symbols for flair!

I like to add some of those cute copy-and-paste symbols on either side of the title. :) For this cover, I decided to go with flowers.

And, there you go! You have a cute binder cover! I like to make these for all of my subjects. :)

So, what do you think? It's super simple, and I love making my school supplies look nice. If you have any questions, just let me know in the comments!!!

Mini Haul- Old Navy / Nail Polish

Hi everyone! So, today I have a mini-haul to share with you, two things that I got recently at Old Navy. I think that I actually purchased these in December, but I've had so much blogging material to cover that I'm just now getting around to showing you. My life has been so crazy, and with so much to blog about, it's hard to share it all!!! Anyways, enough chit chat, on to the haul! :)

I absolutely LOVE this sweater. It's really warm and soft, even though it's very lightweight. I've been wearing it around the house CONSTANTLY, and ladies, I am in love. I really like the grey with this light pink lip color that I got at H&M in Charleston this past fall. ( If you want to see that post, the link is here .

Speaking of light pink, I ADORE this nail polish color! It's by Sally Hansen, and it's called You're Crabby. My sister received it for Christmas, and I absolutely had to try it out. ;) I really like it with the sweater!

My second purchase from Old Navy were these cute sleep shorts. They have these tiny bows on them, and I think that they're absolutely adorable! For some reason it made my carpeting look really yellow haha. I guess that the lighting in my room is just bad. ;) Oh well. I love these shorts!!

So, like I said, this is a mini-haul, so that's all I have to show from Old Navy. One more thing though...

IT'S A MICKEY WAFFLE!!! I know, I know. I'm a mature teenager, this shouldn't make me so happy. But it does!!! Agh! I love it! For Christmas, we got this waffle maker that makes Mickey waffles, and we just tried it out. Aren't they adorable?? I seriously love it. Although I've got to say, I feel kind of bad eating Mickey Mouse. Oh well. Mickey, you're delicious!

Well, that's all for now! I'm off to get some schoolwork out of the way so that I'll have more time to prepare fun posts for you all! :)

Love,
Grace Anne ♥

A DIY Costume!

So, what did y'all think of that teaser I posted yesterday? So, today I have the full costume for you all! I went to a Halloween event last night, and I wanted to create a costume instead of buying it. After looking at a bunch of ideas online, I decided to go for this look....

Hipster Snow White!!!!!

So, what do you think? This costume was sooo much fun! It was also super easy, which was a perk. All that it consisted of was-

-Red Ribbon ( you can't see it but it was in my hair )

-Royal blue top (Hollister)

-Yellow shorts (Target)

-Apple earrings (optional)

-Nerd Glasses

-Red Keds

It's that simple! Here's a close up of me being my crazy self, and you can see my makeup look-

This picture made me look sooooo pale!! I did pale makeup for Snow, BUT I'M NOT THAT WHITE!! Agh. So, for the makeup, I did-

-Pale foundation (used the Elf tone corrector!)

-Lots of mascara

-Blush

-BRIGHT red lipstick

-Gold eyeshadow

Again, super simple! So, what do you all think???

My Love For Scented Sanitizer Is Eternal

I admit it. I'm obsessed with scented hand sanitizers. But then again, who isn't?? There are tons of different scents at Bath and Body works to choose from. I always get excited around Christmas, because I usually end up acquiring a few from stocking stuffers! :) Plus, the germaphobe in me loves them during flu season- they kill germs AND smell good? What more could I ask for?! Plus, you can get those adorable little plastic grips, so that you can attach them to a purse or backpack.

Ooh la la! So cute! <3

Yep, it's a cat. Because cats are amazing, that's why!

I ADORE the Sweet Clementine, and the Pink Chiffon smells absolutely ah-MAY-zing!! What are your favorite scents?? Comment below! :)

These Hair Ties Have Stolen My Heart- Have They Stolen Yours?

This spring, I discovered these little elastics of joy. Suddenly, they were everywhere! In people's hair, on their wrists, in their purses- I knew I had to try them. They. Are. Amazing. I love them so much! They don't crease your hair AT ALL, which is a breath of fresh air if you're a dancer like me. You can even make them yourself, if you can find the ribbon! So far, I'm unable to find any, much to my dismay. :( Oh well! Until then, I'll just keep loving the ones that I have! They come in so many cute patterns and colors. I find that sometimes I have a bit of trouble keeping them in my hair, but a few well-placed bobby pins quickly fix that! I also love just wearing them on my wrist.

                                 

Cute, right???

                                  

                                 

It's totally socially acceptable to wear this many, right? No? Oh. Well, this is awkward.....

So, do you guys use these? Let me know what you think in the comments!!!

     

Keep Calm and Dance!

                                  

                               

Isn't this shirt cute? It's from Delia's, just like the sweaters, but I ordered it online instead of getting it in store. The most amazing part was the price- this shirt was on sale for, get this- four dollars!! Isn't that awesome?? I thought it was a fabulous deal, especially for such a cute shirt!! :)

Sweet Sweaters

So, these two sweaters also came from Delia’s. I really like them both, they’re
super cute with a tank top underneath! Love the holey texture :)
