thirty one.

I was inspired by the lovely Mandy of Harper’s Happenings and her post on turning 31 to write my own. As you all know, I’ve had a hard time coming to terms with hitting my 30’s, but I feel like this year I have learned a lot about myself and I like the direction I am heading. Most of all, turning 30 has made me realize that there is no need for me to try to be anyone else but myself. This is me, and I will throw it out there on a plate for you to either take or leave. I do not have to change for anyone, for anything or because I am a certain age, in a certain profession or living in a certain city.

Happy Hump Day: Alex Pettyfer

You guys. I saw Magic Mike a couple of weeks ago and I have to admit: I wasn’t all that floored with Channing Tatum. I could honestly do without him. Who really caught my attention? Alex Pettyfer. I had always heard his name thrown around, but I really didn’t know what he looked like. I guess I imagined a little blonde teeny bopper. Not this. And then I found out he was British. Well, that’s entirely not fair. Good job on this one, higher ups. I approve.

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!

Glam Squad

Like every girl, I have a hobby. It just turns out that mine consists of changing into unique frocks and playing dress-up for a day. Thanks to the ladies at Terribly Girly Photography, I can look different for a day and have snapshots to remember the look by.

The last time I played dress-up, I decided to go with an 80’s theme. Inspired by JEM and everything truly outrageous, I posed in candy-colors and bright shoes. The pictures were a hit.
