Prom

One of my close friends and I

Prom. The most overwhelming, expensive, and crazy night that usually doesn't meet your expectations. For some, it's the night of their wildest fantasy, for others, it's just meh. I had always looked forward to prom. I couldn't wait to get a pretty dress and dance the night away. I learned the hard way last year at my junior prom that you have to plan a crap load of stuff in advance and it's probably not going to be as fun as you think it will be. In all fairness, I think junior prom is way over the top with people's expectations and it makes it less fun. I have a theory that it's supposed to be less fun so that senior prom is more enjoyable!

My delicious dinner

Junior prom was fun, but it did not make me want to go to senior prom this year. After much debating, I finally decided to go and I don't regret my decision at all. It was so much fun and it was a great way to finish out my last couple weeks of high school. My class had our prom at the Quidnessett Country Club in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, which is right on Narragansett Bay. The place was beyond gorgeous and I so want to get married there when I'm older! We had a room that had a balcony attached so we could take pictures overlooking the water. It was awesome. Dinner was fantastic, too. We had chicken, filet mignon, and mashed potatoes that were to die for. Overall, it was a great night! Not to be overshadowed, the night included someone taking a trip in an ambulance because they passed out from a bad batch of brownies laced with unknown substances, but that didn't bring down the high spirits!

I think in general, you should be open minded about prom and make the most out of your night. Go with friends, have a good time, and enjoy it. Oh and don't screw things up by pre-gaming or doing drugs beforehand; it just ruins the night for yourself and everyone else when you get caught or get sick. Save that for the after parties if that's your thing. You should want to remember this night because it will be one of the most unforgettable experiences of high school that you'll be talking about even years from now.

With that said, here are some pictures of my night:

St. Patty's Outifts

Whether you're Irish or not, St. Patrick's Day is not taken lightly. From temporary hair dye to Kiss Me I'm Irish T shirts, and  everything in between, St Patty's has become quite the fashion holiday, too. While some go all out crazy for parades and keggers, other people go for more subtle hints of green for work and dinner parties. I've got 3 outfits for that will suit your needs on the scale of college party to dinner party.

College Party/Blarney Blowout - type Party


Nothing's better than a nice warm sweatshirt in New England in March! For all you Sox fans out there, show your Boston pride and Irish lovin' with this sweatshirt from Fanatics.com!

For those lucky enough to live in warmer weather, here's a festive pick for you! You find it on American Eagle!











School/Work Appropriate

This top from Old Navy has the perfect balance of festive and appropriate. It's not too flashy or "trashy", it's just right.

This jacket from American Eagle also works for school too. It's a little edgy and a little less green for those of you that want to maintain your chic style but still celebrate the day.














Dinner Party Worthy


This Dress is so classy and so festive. It will wow all your fellow partygoers! You can find it at Macy's!










For a slightly more casual look, this maxi is great for a party. The navy stripes accent the green and make it look like you didn't try hard to wear green! You can find it at Macy's!

I Suck at Apologies

I know it's been a long while since I posted on here and there are no excuses, but I'm going to give them anyway. Here's my lame list of why I have been neglecting The Daily Doozy:

1. It's my senior year
 This is by far my worst excuse, but it's true. I have been so busy with college stuff and applying for scholarships, that I really haven't had time for anything.

2. It's the middle of the quarter
Progress reports came out last week, so I have been busting my butt trying to keep up with the extra work and assessments my teachers piled on. Let's just say I'm still not caught up.

3. Physics.
This class is literally the death of me. I hate the teacher, the material, and most of all, the mountains of homework I have every night because of it. Like I don't already have enough to do on top of 30 energy calculation problems and mixed review questions. Damn you, Newton.

4. I have a procrastination complex
When I don't do something until the last minute (which is often) and end up not finishing it, I generally don't complete it and do not do any successing things because I haven't done the first. This is partly why it's been more than a week since my last post.

And Finally. . .

5. I am a freaking stressball
-I literally don't know what to do with myself, ever. I'm freaking out all the time and feeling so pressured that I swear I'm going to have a Myocardial Infarction. (Bonus points to whoever knows what that is! #futuredoctoralert #sciencerules) When I'm stressed, I can't think or function. It's the worst. And, I'm waiting to hear back from my top colleges these next few weeks, so basically I'm dying.

These excuses can't make up for this, but, I'm trying. All in all, I'd like to apologize for my absence and try to make it up to you. This week I'm going to publish 2 posts each day. It's the best I can do.

I also am making a few changes to the blog. Because i underestimated how much my life will take away from blogging, I am changing my posting schedule. I will continue to post here daily, but from now on, it will only be during the week. To make up for the loss of Saturday and Sunday, I'm slightly changing the post types in my schedule. Mondays are now Music and Movie Mondays, dedicated to music and movies (obviously). Thursdays are now Thirsty Thursdays and dedicated to food. Fridays will be Fashion Fridays, dedicated to style and beauty posts.
So the new schedule is:

Music and Movie Monday
Training Tuesday
Wicked Wednesday
Thirsty Thursday
Fashion Friday

Thank you for your understanding and for sticking with me. I promise to try my hardest to stick to this routine. I think it will be much more manageable. If you have any requests for posts like reviews, inspiration ideas, or advice, let me know in the comments or send me an email at thedailydoozy@gmail.com!

Stay tuned these next couple weeks because I have some great content planned. (Here's a hint: I have a collaboration and a special review in the works!)

The Best Beauty of Oscars 2013

With the Oscars only four days away, there is little time we have left to wait until we get to celebrate the best in movies and see the best and worst dressed. Until then, I decided to revisit red carpet past to find the best hair and  makeup of Oscars 2013. People often overlook the makeup and hair when they are busy criticizing the celebs' dress picks. Personally, I prefer seeing the hair and makeup so I can try to replicate it on myself. Unless I somehow find millions of dollars in my back pocket, I won't be able to afford the dresses that they wear.

While some celebs go for very avant garde looks (I'm talking about you, Helena Bonham Carter!), these lovely ladies keep it classy and effortless.

Naomi Watts
Naomi looked so elegant last year with her light makeup and loose hair. She looked effortless and well put together. I hope she chooses a look similar to this one this year because she looks fabulous. Can I please look like her for a day?

Jenna Dewan-Tatum
Jenna seriously looked gorgeous last year. At like 8 months pregnant, she looked like a goddess. (She's like a pregnancy unicorn. 10 points for Gryffindor if you know the reference:) I loved how her smoky eye wasn't overpowering; it was sultry yet elegant. Her hair color is envious and her hair looks awesome in this updo. She not only has Channing Tatum as a husband, but a beautiful face and hair. I'm jealous.

  Jennifer Garner

I wish I could look half as good everyday as Jennifer does in this picture. She looks perfect for anything, whether it's a red carpet event or a day at the office. She has a timeless hairdo and makeup that could be worn by anyone at any time. I'm considering this hairdo for prom because I love it so much.

Charlize Theron

Charlize is STUNNING in this picture. I literally can't even describe how happy this picture makes me. She is so beautiful and her haircut looks great on her. I'm not usually a fan of pixie cuts, but Charlize rocks it. It makes me want to cut my hair that short someday. Overall, she's drop dead gorgeous, so no matter how she styles herself, she will always look amazing.
