Risky Business

It’s been a tough week.
I got sick while on vacation, and it has proven to be the never ending stomach bug. I’m still sick as we speak, but I’m slowly improving. I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer, so I won’t focus on that. Instead, check out the huge risk I decided to take with my hair before leaving on vacation:

Pink ombre!

While searching through Pinterest, I had seen such awesome fashion colored ombre hairstyles, and wanted one to call my own! Now that I don’t work in an office, I figured it was my time to have a little fun. Five hours in a salon later, my hairstylist did a fantastic job making it a reality! I am so happy with it – especially how long it has lasted! Two weeks later and it still is pretty vibrant and beautiful. If you are in the South Florida area and looking for a talented hair dresser, I totally recommend Valerie from Peter of London. She has never steered me wrong!

Would you take a hair risk this big?

Strictly Polished

Fancy a bright polish?

A girl needs a pick me up once in a while. And what better way to feel good than with a strictly neon nail polish? I was going through my usual weekly polish change, and decided on Essie’s “Fear or Desire”. Described as the ultimate orange crush, this color will surely put a pep on your step. Share your favorite polish colors, and maybe I’ll sport that one next! I’m always looking for suggestions. What girl isn’t when faced with decisions at the nail salon? xo, Aurora

Summer Lovin’

Adam, call me maybe?

As editor of Where South Florida magazine, I find myself playing with copy and on deadline constantly. Time flies as I quietly close the door to my office and read on. During the summer, I find it hard to concentrate without a good summer anthem. Looking out the window, I see the sunshine beating down and imagine myself on the beach with a cool drink. Lately, my tune has been Maroon 5’s “Payphone”. Matched up with an electric video and Adam Levine’s sultry vocals, it’s hard not to sing along to this quirky anthem. What is your summer song? Feel free to share. I could always use a good mix to plug into my iTunes. And check out my summer jam right here. Feel free to sing along. xo, Aurora

Comic Con Bound!

This really snuck up on me, but tomorrow I’ll be leaving on a jet plane to LA, where I will be meeting up with some of my most favorite people to hang out and relax. You can refer to it as the calm before the storm that is San Diego Comic Con! I am fortunate enough to be going as press again with my dear friend & partner in crime, Rosy Cordero, of Accidentalsexiness. We will be live tweeting from our joint project’s account, so make sure to follow & keep up with us at @soblogalicious! We will also be hosting a live hangout straight from the source from our Google+ account, so make sure to add it now! Additionally, I will be taking some street style photos to share with all of you on the blog when I return. Don’t think Comic Con is a fashion mecca? You’d be surprised, my friends.

I am so excited for this adventure – I’m sure you all remember how great it was for me a couple of years back. I met some pretty astounding people and made some great connections. I hope to do all that and more this time around!

And if you are feeling a little disheartened about my absence, fear not! The lovely Aurora, editor of Where South Florida, will be taking over the blog while I am gone. Be nice to her, and show her your love! I’m sure she’ll be sharing some amazing content in my stead!
