Hair Emergency!


OK, so I don’t know what to think about my new hair color. I figured it would be a little shocking to me the first couple of days, but I still get kind of startled in the mirror every morning. I’m also leaking red dye every night in the shower and staining all my towels (is this normal? It has never happened to me for this long…). Plus, I’m scared to wear anything too colorful for fear that I may be one big clash monster. And not wearing color makes my world a pretty sad and angry place to live in.

So, I’m conflicted. Does it look good? Should I keep it? Am I overreacting?
Or, should I grab the closest bottle of Nice ‘N Easy and go to town attempting to dull it down?

I need your help! Please answer this poll as truthfully as possible. Every vote is anonymous, so no need to worry that you are offending me. Honestly, people have been pretty candid about the way they feel about my hair already, so I am used to the looks of complete horror. 😉

And yes, that is a most excellent DRIVE SHAFT tee I am rocking. I love you, Charlie Pace.

Squeeworthy: Travalo

The Travalo caught my eye after I heard of this fantastic product from a local South Florida blogger. It seemed like the perfect item for me to try out as I was stressing as to how I was going to transport my fragrance(s) on our trip to Europe. I thought this was such a genius idea! The itty bitty Travalo is a refillable perfume atomizer that is airline approved, which means smooth sailing through security checks. Just pick your favorite fragrance, in my case, Ms. Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B., and twist off the pump in order to attach the bottom of the Travelo to it.

What I Wore: Seeing Red

I haven’t done an outfit post in awhile and I also wanted to showcase my new hair color, so I decided to double up on this lovely Monday with two blog posts! I have been a blonde for over a year, so I figured it was high time I went back to my absolute favorite: red. However, I didn’t want my usual strawberry blonde – I wanted something different and darker. Granted, I wasn’t expecting something this bright and loud, but I think I am finally starting to warm up to it. I just have to get used to my new color palette. I hope all the pink I’m bringing to Europe won’t be a clash fest!

Magical Moments Monday

First off, today is especially magical because it is my hubs’ birthday! He has proved to be my rock as well as my happy place this year – I’m pretty sure I’d be lost without him. Plus, I am especially proud of him for the extreme growth he has displayed – he inspires me every day with his creativity and drive. I love you, monkey. Always & forever.

As far as the rest of the magic, here goes:

x. getting trip goodies in the mail
x. making some great connections
x. new books to read
x. have I mentioned our vacation is only ONE WEEK AWAY???
x. new favorite Essie shade: jazz
x. perfecting my Katniss Everdeen costume
x. I’m a redhead again!
x. still drives me wild that one of my favorite bands loves me back.
x. driving with the windows down
x. sunshine: something we had not seen in about a week!
x. spending much needed time with family
x. walking around South Beach on a gorgeous day
x. the Once Upon A Time pilot – in Damon Lindelof I trust

Lovable Friday!

1. Glitter animals

Figures this lovely image came straight from Kate Spade’s Holiday shoot – why is all her stuff so perfectly fun and chic? I almost can’t stand it. Despite how gorgeous and glittery the model’s dress is, my eyes went directly to the matching sparkly penguins! How fun would these look, not only as cake toppers, but as fun centerpieces or card holders for a festive holiday cocktail party or dinner? I’m definitely going to scribble this one down as a must-do holiday project. Best part is, you can just head over to Target, and pick up some small animal figures, loose glitter and some sort of adhesive, and be ready to go! Perfect!
