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!

hellllllllo friday! i really like the quote above....so many people tend focus on the negative side of things & not to look at the bigger picture & realize life is pretty good. 

I love my life. Sure I have my fair share of problems like everybody else but overall I am a pretty happy girl. There are however, a few teeny tiny little things I would be open to changing if I could....one of them being, my name. 

I know weird right? Its not that I don't like my name, I just don't think its anything special. When I was little I was OBSESSED with the name Melissa. I don't know why, but it's what I named every baby of mine. But as I grew older the name Melissa was no longer my favorite. I think as the times change, my favorite names change as well. 

SO I give you 

The Top Ten Names I Would Change my Name too if I Could

ten. Harper

nine. Ashley

eight. Madison

seven. Dylan

six. Mackenzie

five. McKenna

four. Casey

three. Kate

two. Alexis 

aaanddd the Number One name I would change my name to if I could is.........

 Jude

i just love it...its different & not one you hear a lot...plus im a huge Beatles fan.

what would YOU change your name to if you could? 

and now moving onto a blogger I am so excited for you to meet! She is a newbie in the blogging world and someone I really respect. Right from the beginning she has been such a strong supporter of MessyDirtyHair & such an amazing bloggy friend to me. She blew me out of the water when she participated in #TheMessyProject & I am obsessed with her SUPER cool blog design. This girl is as original and real as it gets and I love her for it. SO without further ado its with my pleasure to introduce to you.....

Lets try & remember that shall we?

& now a very special announcement from a very special lady ------> 

Hi Messy Dirty Hair friends! My name is Samantha and I blog over at Hooah and Hiccups!

Kelly is sweet enough to let me say hi today and..ask for your help and votes!! A few months back, Onlineshoes.com contacted me in regards to a Blogger Styling Contest! Of course, I was ALL over it!

How it works: myself and three other bloggers each received the same pair of shoes. We were all told to style it our own way and then the public would be voting on who styled the pair of shoes the best!

So here's how I styled them! 

The Naya Shoes are absolutely adorable! Not to mention they're super comfortable and perfect for shorts and a tee, a maxi dress, or really any casual look you want to pair them with. My Bubba Bear has been giving me a run for my money recently and these shoes are comfortable enough for me to chase him around!

I also love that they are made using eco-friendly materials; cork, bamboo and chrome-free leather are among the materials used. 

So now I need your help!! These shoes are totally down my fashion alley and I hope that you love how I styled them; enough so that you'll vote for me to win!

Want to win a pair too? You can enter to win a pair on the voting page after casting your vote! (Hopefully for me ;)) 

So please, vote here! Leave me a little comment if you voted... I want to thank each and every one of you for your support and help! Love you ALL!

In case you missed it... VOTE HERE!

 

Doesn't she look fab?!?! I love that this contest has a Messy Project feel to it!
