Baby, It's Cold Outside

Hello beauties! First off, I hope everyone had a nice holiday and got some fun gifts. I spent all of last week working and finishing getting parts of presents for Christmas. I spent my whole paycheck plus a little of my savings getting gifts for my family and friends so now its time to work and recover from that. I haven't mentioned this but I take pictures for my friends blog, her name is Shelby and she runs uncommonbeing. We both are still trying to find photographers so we can post more often. In the meantime we take each others pictures to the best of our ability. We met up last week so I could take some shots of her and ended up at the mall so she could finish getting gifts, and let me tell you going to the mall two days before Christmas Eve is a mistake. Thank goodness we weren't in there for long though. She came with me to run some errands and we ended up spending the whole day together and we both would like to start making DIY post and maybe some videos of hauls. I'm even thinking of doing outfit of the day videos but there's still the need of a photographer/videographer. So hopefully we can find some freelance photographers to work with and get some more content on our blogs. Sometimes I forget that I should talk about my outfit as well as life in these posts, but anyways this is what I wore when we went out shopping. I'm kinda obsessed with cutesy overalls and baby doll coats so this outfit was a great representation of me on a daily base. Also, if you guys would like to see my daily outfits or details that I have for each day follow me on instagram (here)! I post a lot more there since it's a little easier to do it on the spot.Bye deerlings <3

So, some of you may already know...I colored my hair! I finally got rid of the reddish brown I had in my hair from July. This is my third time dying my hair so I guess the third time is really the charm. I mentioned that I would start including post about my hair since most of my readers are naturals and want to hear more about it. I got this color done on Monday, it took about four hours to get this end result. I have a lot of hair and on top of that it's super thick so my stylist did the coloring in a three step process; she first lifted my color that had grown out, then lifted my roots, and then finally put the toner with the color that I wanted. I got the coloring done at Aveda Salon which is known for their color specialists so I wasn't worried at all. This is the second time that I've gotten it done professionally, the first time was in June but the stylist underestimated the level needed to lift my natural black hair color so there was no difference. The second time my friends used boxed Shea Moisture hair dye in the color light blonde to give me the reddish brown color I had up until now. This time I wanted to go a lot lighter and I used pictures of Rihanna and Beyonce for the shade of golden brown that I was going for and I love the color I got. I did ask to have my roots darker so it wouldn't look too unnatural and once my roots do grow out it will have an ombre effect so I don't have to get it touched up too often. Bye deerlings <3

Walk on the Wild Side

I know I've mentioned before the weather here in Houston, but let me tell you it is no joke. Just two days ago it was in the seventies and now its in the forties. I wore this outfit to go to the mall with a friend. I'm not big on wearing jackets but I definitely was freezing through out the day, I layered what I consider is a basic outfit. I've had these tights for a year and couldn't figure how to style them without looking like I was wearing a costume. I'm starting to get more comfortable mixing prints and patterns, this look is just a quick thrown together kinda look which I love. I like when an outfit just puts itself together and somehow works. You guys know I like a chill look and this is definitely very laid back. If you noticed my hair is different, I'm a little obsessed with wearing two buns now. For this look I just blew out my hair and then made two little ponytails and turned them into messy buns. Also, if you follow me on instagram (here) you know I live in this jacket. I can't tell you how much I wear it but I mean it was only five bucks from a thrift store!
Hope you guys are having a nice weekend! Bye <33
