Smells Like Teen Spirit (And Blue Velvet by Special Effects)

The green hair is gone for good! My plan was to ensure I was not rocking green come St. Patrick's Day. Not that I really would have been bothered by all of the, "Did you dye that just for today?!" exclamations, but having represented nature's finest hue since October, it was time for a change.

Little did I know that Blue Velvet by Special Effects bleeds like a mother#$%$! Two weeks after coloring my hair blue, and guess what? It's still bleeding everywhere. Ever since I converted to blue, I've had to wear dark clothing because the color even bleeds onto my collars, shoulders and back. My neck is pretty much a consistent shade of blue, and my friend was kind enough to point out it just looks as though I'm constantly suffering from frostbite.

So here's hoping this I've got the blues... all over me phase won't last too much longer. As someone who's been using Special Effects for a good 8 years now, I didn't expect this blue to make such a statement on my skin -- you know, instead of on my hair.









Side-note: I like to fake sidecuts in a lot of my pictures because I'm always toying with the idea of going full on Anya from Project Runway and just shaving it off. Alas, I know better than that because heaven knows I'd regret my decision when my long-hair-goal-derailment becomes apparent.

But seriously, what a babe!



After her season aired, she cut her hair and is still gorgeous, but it was the long hair + sidecut that stole my heart.

Second half of the lookbook coming at ya!

NSFW - There's a boobie below just in case you're cruising the web at work.





























See it all here.

Planet Blue Lookbook

Granted this was released a few months ago, aka it's now millions of years old in the fashion world, but I am loving this lookbook from Planet Blue.

Purse hair? Fur? Leopard? You had me at PERFECTION.



























This was styled by one of my favorite bloggers, Ashley Glorioso of Purse 'n Boots.

I'll post the second half soon!

Hair Goal - Sky Ferreira

Okay, so not the most original hair goddess of choice, but good lord, Sky Ferreira has amazing locks.
















Seriously, though, next time I threaten to cut my hair due to frizz or pure frustration, say to me, "What about Sky?!"

Backwards French Braid

Obligatory black and white

Feeling a little shy lately

It's here! It's here. Santa is real.

So is my credit card statement.







Apparently, I have found solace in hiding behind my hair as of late.

Alexander Wang Kirsten Satchel

When I visited New York and made the necessary pilgrimage to the Alexander Wang flagship store, I make a point to pay homage to the Kirsten Satchel. I remember thinking, "This beauty will never be mine!"



Well, thanks for a sweet sale from official Alexander Wang site (and a promise from the boyfriend to help pay for it in the name of Christmas), this lovely piece of work is sitting in a delivery box at my house just waiting to be unwrapped.

From the badass straps to the fine suede, oh, Kirsten, why are you such a babe?

Alexander Wang Addison Boot

Oh, Lord, now this is happening.

Behold, the Alexander Wang Addison boot. Standing at about 6 inches tall, I do declare I'll be towering, but hopefully not teetering.





It's going to be a good Christmas.

Easy Sweater - American Apparel

Getting cozy in American Apparel's Unisex Reversible Easy Sweater.

I couldn't decide what to buy with my recent Groupon purchase, so with winter just around the corner, this seemed like a sensible purchase. The verdict? This sweater is like a blanket, and it's an easy option that boasts an oh-so-Acne vibe. (And it's reversible. Does this justify wearing it a few days in a row?)
