Fashion? Oh, Yes Please!

   I am an odd female for sure. While I love clothes and fashion and shoes and jewelry (oh goodness do I love a shiny), I actually do not find much pleasure in going to malls and stores. Sometimes I am okay with it, but often, I'd much prefer to stay in my house and avoid the crowds and hustle and bustle.

That's reasonable right?

 Well....how am I going to feed my need desire for pretty things? Online shopping! Best invention EVER. I can buy a ballgown whilst wearing my pajamas (isn't that a great dichotomy?)


I have recently been approached by Shabby Apple to be an online affiliate! Let me tell you, their products make me DROOL (see? this is why it's good to shop online in my bed, no one can see the drool ;) ). One of my biggest de-stressers is to merely look at pretty things online (that sounds silly when I type it...but it's true!) and Shabby Apple is one of my favorites.

If you love pretty things, please consider shabby apple! And if you use my blog to reach their site, this poor college gal will reap some benefits. Eventually I hope to host a giveaway and let ya'll in on some sales and such. It's gonna be fun fun fun!

So, go check it out. Buy something. You know you want to. Just look how pretty it is! (And hey, if you ever want to buy ME something, I'll totally give you my address; but only if you promise you won't come stalk me ;) )

That Time I Had Red Hair...Sorta...

I am not a rebellious person by nature. Since I've gotten to college, the most rebellious acts have probably been: wearing sneakers with my jeans (this bugs my mother immensely, so I have gotten it into my head that you just don't wear those together, except when you have 8am classes every day and run around campus too much...), skipping breakfast SOMETIMES (I love breakfast, I really do, so it pains me to admit to this rebellion...), and, well, dying my hair dark red was slightly rebellious. It wasn't even supposed to be a rebellious act. It was supposed to be me letting go and embracing the new future full of changes around me. Yeah, I dyed it the first day of college. 

It stuck for a little while! This dress really brought it out :)


Well, my hair is typically blonde....therefore, it doesn't hold red very well, sadly.

My hair faded back into blonde again.

I loved the red, so, blonde coming back made me feel like my hair is actually the rebellious criminal here. It just does what it wants to! 

Shortly before I came home for Christmas, I tried strawberry-blonde, and it sorta stuck. People said I had red hair; Dad called me "spaghetti sauce." Yeah. 

But the strawberry blonde didn't show in pictures. I swear it was strawberry blonde on Christmas day. Nope, not gonna show up. 

I'm considering being bold again. I'll wait til after my opera haha, I don't think Russians in 1952 had bright red hair ;) 

What crazy things have you done with your hair?
