I'm blue, da ba dee da ba die... [ombre nails!]

I've been lusting the ombre nail look for quite some time.  Not just any ombre though, BLUE.

Currently, I have this serious obsession with all things navy.  Please, don't ask why.

Check out these stunnin' finga tips.

My mom attempted to do a pink ombre look, but it didn't work out as well.

However, I love, love, looove mine.  :)

You know, I can take you straight to heaven if you let me

This sums up my weekend.

Homemade body scrubs, made by moi, for my gorgeous bff's bridal shower.

Our 2nd choice outfits for the bachelorette party, courtesy of F21.

Seriously, who would wear these IN PUBLIC?!

My F21 purchases ended up being the hot pink dress, that little leopard number seen in the fitting room, and a locket necklace.

Unfortunately, we arrived at the mall with less than an hour to shop, so I didn't make it to Sephora, booooo.

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

Blondie blonde.

I get the occasional compliment on my blonde (spell check is preferring blond here, but I like blondE) locks.  Actually, I have been almost every color on the wheel.  I have been slacking in the hair department lately, especially since I was worried about how my feathers would feel about a change.  So I grabbed a chunk of saran wrap (to protect my feathers) and went to work.

Naturally, I forgot to take before/during pictures, so you get the afters. :)

My hair nearly blends in with the wall.  Ridiculous.

This is the magic stuff.  I get it from Sally's Beauty Supply and mix it with Ion's 20 Developer.  It also comes in little packets.  One packet gets mixed with 2 oz of developer.  If you buy the tub, use 4 scoops to 2 oz of developer.  I use a brush and my artistic skills.  I left the color on my hair for about 30 minutes this time, and it turned out whiiite.  I only color my roots now too, attempting to prevent maximum damage.

*I am in no way a professional at doing this.  Don't attempt to do this yourself if you're not prepared to deal with the consequences.  Personally, I know that hair grows back and can be changed, so I'm not worried about messing it up.

** I was also way too lazy to take pics with my camera & upload, so my webcam did the work today. :)

OOTD - I believe in people like you.

I actually dressed up for work yesterday, and I wanted to post then but Blogger was not cooperating.  So, here's what I wore yesterday!

Shirt: Target, circa 2009ish, lucky me, neons are back!

Skirt: Pencil skirt from either Younkers or Kohl's

Cardigan: Younkers

Shoes: Madden Girl



I actually had to wear the cardigan all day at work, since the shirt scoops low in the back & shows my tattoo. :(  Luckily, I always freeze at work anyways!

I bought Bear a new toy the other day when mom and I went to PetSmart so she could look at dogs to adopt.  Here he is enjoying it while I started this post!

A little life update:

I don't know if I mentioned before, but my mom is getting married in July (the 23rd, to be exact).  :)  Mom and Mark (her fiance) recently purchased a house that I will also be moving into.  This weekend is the last weekend they have at their rental, so moving everything and planning the wedding has been hectic.  Tonight, I joined Mom to meet with the "cake lady" and decide on the cake & sample the goods, of course.  Everything went perfectly and we are so excited for the cake.  I will be making a contribution of one part of the cake topper, which will be something like this....

I am going to attempt to make some adorable little people, hopefully resembling Mom & Mark. :)  I will let you know how they turn out!
