I'm sorry I've been such a poopy blogger lately. I've just had so many things on my plate that I've been trying to take care of. Good news, though, I've completed and turned in my BYU transfer application! Yay! Now fingers crossed for good news in that department come the end of October! :) Also, this is the last of my posts with purple hair! It's fully washed out now! Also, the instructions were full on lying because it definitely did not only take two washes to get rid of that stuff! Try, more like a week and a half! Also, Tuesday was national Ice Cream Cone day so in honor of that Shailynn and I played around with some ice cream! Not really, we totally didn't even know national ice cream cone day was a thing when we took these! Also, I have a little secret. I think I'm starting to like country music....GASP, right?!?!?! I know, I totally thought the world had ended too. Or at the very least that hell had frozen over. But nope, world's still spinning, and hell is still as hot as ever. I know because it feels like we've been living in Satan's butt crack for the past week. Seriously, it's CARAZY hot. Anyway, this whole country music thing started at work. Country music is legit ALL anybody listens to there and at first it kinda bugged me....but thennnnnnnn I happened to hear this one song, "How Country Feels", and I actually kinda liked it. I was all like, "yeah boy, I wanna know how country feels." In a non perverted way of course, getcha minds out of the gutter. ;) Anyway, then I slowly started listening to the country station on the ride home from work as a cleanser from all of my own music that I had overplayed, and now I think I full on like a whole FIVE country songs. I know, I know, major improvement, right?! Who knows, maybe I might even go to Idaho and murry me a cowboy. ;)
I know, I know, I totally over shared in the photo department again but I mean, Shailynn just knocked it out of flippin' park. Also, sweaters and shorts, dudes. Best part of transitioning into Fall. Also, there's nothing like a nice neutral color scheme. Oh and these shorts? I love 'em to pieces but I think I'm going to be officially retiring them furrr good. They just be way too short. Beats me how I hadn't noticed before but I'm definitely going to have to buy myself some new longer ones! Anyway, that's all I have. Eat some ice cream. Listen to country music. Marry a cowboy.
Sooo, I did something cray last week. I colored my hurrs purple. Yep. Yeppy. Yep. Yep. That happened. I did it with a clay dye that my sister bought for me, so it isn't permanent and when these photos were snapped most of it had washed out already giving it a cool purple ombre effect! I loved that the clay dye let me get a fun color without actually having to damage my hair because heavens knows going from black to pink or purple is like hair suicide. The only downside was that since the hair dye goes on as a layer over the hair follicle rather then penetrating it (to prevent damage) my hair was crispy and sticky the whole time I had it on. Which meant that my hair was crunchier than raman noodles. It's cool, though. Also, who of you thought, "not a good enough reason to use the word penetrate", when I said penetrate? If you did, then you have clearly watched Pitch Perfect and you are cool. Just kidding, I actually hated that movie (feel free to cyber punch me) but the only reason I have it pretty much memorized is because my sister's loved it and would watch it alllllls the time! Also, remember that "butt-sweat-money" story I was going to tell you all? Well, here it is. Last week when I went out for some bubble tea with Lauren, we decided we would enjoy our drinks at one of the outdoor tables, since the day was so nice and all. Anyway, turns out the day was actually pretty warm (90 flipping degrees in SEPTEMBER) so I started workin' up a sweat. About an hour and a half later we say our goodbyes and I head back into Orange Peel to order an extra bubble tea for my mum. I go to pull out ma bills from out of my back pocket, and what do I feel? Moist money! MOIST! Yep. My butt was full on sweating apparently because ma money was moister than a towelette. Anyway, as I handed the cashier my butt sweat money I got to thinking that back when I worked as a cashier at a restaurant, and I would wonder why some of the bills I got were moist (I'd actually, more specifically, think, "why are you WET?" Ya know, because of that line from The Proposal? I have way too many movies memorized...) it was because the customer had pulled it out of their sweaty butt pocket all along. Gross. But real. Let's face it. All of our butts sweat. I mean, who of you hasn't seen a lady at the gym with super tight booty shorts on that have sweat stain on the butt crack? Don't lie. You've seen it. We all have. We just decide to be nice and pretend it isn't there.
So, my hair looks like a total grease monkey in these photos which is so weird for me because my hair literally NEVER gets greasy because of how thick it is, but I had just come from a massage in these photos and my masseuse likes to do a scalp massage with essential oils at the end of every session. Thus, I literally had oily hair. Anyway, I know I'm totally overloading on the photos today but it's only because they rock so hard. The AMAZING Shailynn shot these for me and she is like CARAZZY good. Seriously, she is so super sweet, down for anything, and has the BEST ideas! If you need family photos captured, senior portraits, baby photos, or whatever else hit her up because she rocks! Also, my fellow blogger babes, get in touch with her! Anyway, onto some words on the outfit. First, these slide on sandals. I found them for like 5 bucks at Target and I was initially buying them to wear to my Yoga classes because they'd be easy to slide on and off, but I've pretty much been wearing them everyday with my regular clothes. I mean, what's better than a pair of slide on's? No thing but a chickaaan wing! Anyway, I love the grunge feel of a burgundy chunka chunk knit sweater with funky layered necklaces for the Fall. I mean grunge just rocks. Always. Annnnd, yeah, I'm done.
I'm sitting here on a belly full of RootBeer Float wondering what on earth I should write about. Which, actually, I never really knew I was a Root Beer Float fan, but there were some at work at last week and I thought, "eh, what the hay? Might as well try one", and now I'm hooked! Who woulda thunk that those things where so yummy? Also, you know where I'm DYING to go? Harry. Potter. World. Yes, I'm a nerd. But seriously? I wants to go, I wants to go, I wants to go! Somebody buy me tickets! ;) Also, butter beer? I want to try that too! -It's not actually beer...is it?- Also, as you all know, I'm a HUGE fan of online shopping but I kinda hates it all at the same time, too. I'm so impatient that I literally get furious when it doesn't get to me as quickly as I want. I should work on that. ;) Also, wanna know words that I'm obsessed with lately? Codswallop, git, prat. Ya know, just all those lovely British words. All those nice ones. ;)
I love the looks of stripes and light browns. It just creates a fun relaxed color combo that's perfect for these end of summer days. Which, can you guys even believe that it's the END of SUMMER? Crazy! I still have some more very summery looks to share with you all, though, so I hope you don't mind! I mean, heavens knows that even with this rain we've been having it'sstill much too hot to really wear anything Fall worthy! Also, these boyfriend shorts were my saving grace this summer! I seriously wore them all the dang time! Whelp, I'm off to continue reading Harry Potter. Codswallop! Git! Prat!
I've got one thing on my mind and one thing only...BATMAN. I know I already talked about it yesterday but I'm on the last movie in the trilogy and I'm still pretty obsessed. Also, my DVD player is probably older than I am. I think it may even be the first DVD player ever made. Seriously. It has no pause button, fast forward button, rewind button, or menu arrows. Apparently back in the day you either watched yo movie all at once or not at all. Missed something? Too bad. Ya can't rewind. Need to pee? Pee yo pants cause ya can't pause. Bored of a certain scene? Well then boohoo, why'd you rent the movie because ya can't fast forward either. It's pretty funny, actually and I actually kind of like it because it forces me to pay more attention then I would have otherwise. Also, I ALWAYS cry at the scene when Bruce kicks out poor Alfred. I love Alfred, he's the sweetest old guy ever and yes, I'm officially the nerdiest nerd out there. I mean, who else cries at a super hero movie?
blazer: h&m top: gap similar shorts: abercrombie similar shoes: ZooShoo similar belt: h&m purse: F21 I literally have nothing to say about this outfit. Not because I don't like it, but because I'm too engrossed in "The Dark Knight" rises at the mo. I will say this, though, I'd been looking for a good pair of nude heeled sandals for ages and when I found these on ZooShoo and scored them for $20 I was beyond ecstatic! They are a dream and I've already worn them a thousand and one times! The only thing I did notice about my recent orders from ZooShoo is that their sizes run a little small so I'd recommend going a half size up!
Remember how I mentioned yesterday that I was hording up the Batman trilogy in my room? Well, I just started my little tete-a-tete with The Bat. Man, I love those movies. Most well done super hero movies ever. EVER. Also, I have a sweet spot for them because back in middle school my little sister and I used to have a bit of a crush (ok, a MAJOR crush) on Christian Bale. SUCH. A babe. I remember the summer in between eighth and ninth grade she and I ordered EVERY Christian Bale movie available on Netflix. Of course, this was back when Netflix only mailed DVD's out to you. Heehee, DVD mailing. ;) Anyway, that summer we watched everything Christian Bale. Well, excepting "American Psycho". Understandably, my dad had us send it back the second he realized we had ordered it. Course, we had no idea that "American Psycho" wasn't exactly a friendly movie, although, we should've guessed by the fact that it has the word "psycho" in the title. Anyway, he didn't want us to, get ready a Batman quote is coming up, "burden ourselves with the secrets of scary men". Anyway, JUST watched the Christian Bale "push up" scene in "Batman Begins". MmmmMmmm, biceps. ;) Also, Katie Holmes is AAAAdorable in the movie!
leather jacket: Betsey Johnson via Nordstrom similar top: h&m shorts: abercrombie similar purse: Aldo's similar sunglasses: hot topic I know you can't see it, but it was totally raining on me during this shoot! (Ok, more like sprinkling;) It was actually kind of funny because I had put together this outfit as my "rainy summer day" look. :) Leather jackets are the perfect way to keep the chills away on a rainy summer day! They're thick enough to keep you warm but thin enough to keep you from getting too hot. Also, I'm OBsessed with this jacket. Remember how I had mentioned a while back that I had gotten a Betsey Johnson leather jacket when Nordstrom was having their super sale? Well, this is the jacket! It. Is. Killer. I know I'm going to be wearing it NON-STOP when Fall hits! Anyway, I thought the perfect way to keep the look still light and summery would be to pair it with some slouchy boyfriend shorts, a bright bag, and heart shaped mirrored sunnies! Which, by the way, this is the third pair of sunnies I got in Vegas, and I luuuurve them! I think the heart shape is just so fun for summer! Oh, and this bag? My sissy and I fell in love with it when we stopped by the Aldo's in Vegas and decided we should go halfsies on it and split the cost!
Much love!
"Do you even LIFT Mr. Wayne?"
The point, Alfred, was to watch Christian Bale do pushups. ;)
