August 5, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionWhite pants: the single most controversial item in the fashion world. Why are there so many rules surrounding white pants? We have heard them all: no white after Labor Day, only tooth picks can wear white bottoms, etc. Who makes up these ridiculous rules? The fake fashion police?
Anyways, I love my white jeans, they are a constant staple in my wardrobe. They provide an effortless summer outfit, paired with a slouchy tank and fun sandals. I know, I am such a rule break (cue Ashlee Simpson song), but I also love my white jeans in the Fall/Winter with combat

July 26, 2013 by Rebekah in ETC., FashionWhen I first started thinking about creating a blog, I had a hard time deciding what to focus on. Initially, NeonNotebook was only going to be a career blog. Then, I decided NO WAY; that is no fun. So, we introduced the other sections: fashion, lifestyle and pop culture.

I recently had to take a business management class in college–not by choice of course. When my professor started a lecture titled “interviewing”, I was really curious to see what tips she would give us.

MAJOR guilty pleasure = Taylor Swift. Yes, I love her! Her song “22” has been my jam lately; I can’t get enough of it. She perfectly describes the days when you just need to “forget the deadlines”, and hit the dance floor.
This weekend, I totally had one of those moments. My best buds and I hit the club, and totally tore up the dance floor for hours. It was exactly what I needed. Sometimes I forget that I am only 25; I deserve drunken nights, best friends and Ke$ha!!!!
Getting dressed for a night on the town is a
