I like how clients know that pink is my color! On my birthday one of my clients got me a set of pink clippers that have pink guards, and that is what I use at work now for men hair cuts! One of my loyal clients at my old job got me this nice coffee cup right before I left. I didn’t even know they made pink ones, but I had been eyeing the silver ones for a while. It’s great for coffee and keeps your drink at the right temperature for you. The only downside is that you can’t wash it in the dish washer.

My old co-worker/friend Keiko did this awesome job on my hair the other month. I was going out for my aunt’s birthday and wanted a new style.

It reminds me of Caroline Burt or Kim K. They sport hair like this every once in a while.

I hardly ever do anything different to my hair but I must say I really like braids! It was fun to sport these to the Japanese steak house.

Blue liner by Marc Jacobs, Lolitta lipstick by Kat Von D. And dang, my eyes were really watering lol. Just ignore that!!

Outfit of the Day: Pastel Skater Dress

I’m not sure what you call this kind of dress, but to me it looks like an ice skating outfit. I ordered it online from Amazon and was happy that it fits perfectly. It has the option of wearing it without the spaghetti straps as well. I wore this out to eat on Valentine’s day this year! The waitress said I look like a little doll because of my look. Lol.

It’s a polyester blend and I had to iron it cause it has the tendency to wrinkle up. The pleats on the skirt remind me of Marilyn Monroe (I’m not even a big fan of her) or a cheer leader. It is a very feminine dress and it is my favorite. However, I don’t think it would look as dainty on somebody who’s a bit busty! It stayed in place though, didn’t flash anyone, but I had to be very careful the skirt didn’t blow up and out cause it is super short. The color IRL, is more mint green, it looks almost aqua on here.

 

I think I had on the Jeffree Star lip color Doll Parts.

It’s a fuzzy pic, but I liked it the best!!

Hair of the Day: Hot Cross Bun

I made up this updo, well, at least I made up the name for it! Isn’t that cute!? I know, I am sure a lot of people do a tuck and twist type of bun. It’s so easy though and can be fancified with a hairbow or headband! Just put your hair in a high pony tail, tuck it into itself, fold it out to make it fuller and round like a doughnut, and use a couple bobby pins. That is all you need to know honestly. You really don’t need the little foam structure or a sock to make a cute bun. I went to a local pizza joint with this little doo.

See how it kind of crosses itself? Oh yes, my lipstick is Lolita by Kat Von D, eye shadow is from the Urban Decay Electric Palette. Smiling cloud earrings from Atomic Lace on Etsy.

Photos by Duncan Madaris Hill, but they were taken with my Nikon, which is crappy compared to all of his nice ones!

 

Outfit of the Day: Fur Vest and Wrap Choker

I am still really digging this outfit because it’s just oh so sleek. Sometimes by the time I get around to posting about certain garments, I am plumb sick of seeing them. Lol. I wore this out to dinner on my birthday to a Japanese steak house. They asked me to do a chicken dance in order to receive a piece of cake.. which I obliged. Luckily, I am not easily embarrassed… Haha!!

This outfit is appealing for anybody  because of the vertical striping, the long line of the boot, and the elongated choker necklace strings help to draw the eye up and down as well. The vest is irreversible btw!

Vest and leggings are Victoria’s Secret PINK, oxford is Victoria’s Secret, and so is the long gray tank. Boots from Wish. Wrap necklace was a gift. Jeffree Star lips in Androgyny.

Shoes of the Day: Hunter Boots

I have only worn these a couple of times, but I can say they are a lot more comfortable than my other rain boots. These are pretty thin and I can tell they won’t be great for snow, but it rains SO much here in NC, I def. needed some good, pretty, glittery wellies!! In college here at UNCG, people used to joke and sometimes groan about Greensboro being the East Coast equivalent to Seattle! P.S: I highly recommend ordering the children’s size if your feet are under size 8 (women). It will give you a little more bang for your buck and fit better if you’re a half size.

Date Night Done Right (For guys and gals)

Date night, Dates, Going out, Special occasions, What to wear

If you want to plan a nice date for your significant other:
1:Choose a place that you guys don’t go often. This will make it more of a special occasion which is more romantic.
2:Make sure it is a date your date will enjoy. Don’t pick a sushi bar if your date is allergic to fish.
3:Don’t forget to make reservations !! Make it a couple days in advance if you think about it. I would say that people forget reservations more than anything, which is a bummer if you’re starving and have to sit around for an hour waiting.
4: Make sure your date is somewhat aware of the date even if it is a surprise because you don’t want them to be under dressed or unprepared to go out, or else you will end up having to wait on them and delay the date which could mess up reservations, etc. If it is a surprise, tell your date, “I would like to see you/It’d be cool if you were in something fancy/pretty/handsome/nice/sophisticated tonight.”
5: Dress according to how fancy the restaurant is. For a man, Wear a blazer, collared shirt, and dress pants if it’s a very nice, upscale place. You can just wear a collared shirt with dark washed jeans if it is a nice place, but not too above average. Women should stick to dresses most of the time. Sundresses or cocktail styled dresses when it’s warmer, sweater dresses when it’s cooler. Wear a nice jacket and leggings if it’s cold out. Wear nice black skinny pants or dark washed jeans with a pretty blouse like you might would wear to work. It just depends on where the date is. If you have been to the venue before, try to remember what the people around you dressed like to get an idea of maybe what you should rock. I tend to dress up more than other people just because I like to wear big earrings and do my makeup and wear pretty things that I can’t wear on a daily basis!
