So you're low on cash from the holidays but you need to feed your addiction..

Well, then check out these deals I found to pull together this trendy-af outfit.  Need all of this in my closet.  ASAP.  Believe it or not, the outfit began with the simple black thigh-highs; I booked a flight home to Chicago today, so I've got colder-weather-fashion on my mind.  Next I paired it with a Jack by BB Dakota cardigan from UO; super comfy (and therefore clutch).  The shoes: Deena & Ozzy Split-Wedge Ankle Boots.  Srsly get them now they're on mad sale for $19.99.  I have them in solid grey suede and they're a great go-to pair for almost any occasion.  I didn't think this outfit was going to go so far as leather shorts, but it did.  These Vegan Leather Shorts by Free People are hot right now.  Leather is hot right now, guys, get on it.  I also noticed that my good friend (Right.) Rachel Zoe backs these shorts too, what's up.  Next, I wanted to add a loose tank; you want to steer away from sleeves when those on the sweater are on the tighter side; it looks funny & it's uncomfortable.  This studded cross tank is on sale for £7, so like $11.  Lastly, I'd like to point out that the wrong amount of jewelry would kill this outfit (and not in a good way).  There's already so much going on, so a simple ring, like this onyx ring from Etsy, and a pair of studs will be just right!  Somebody buy this for me, kthanks.

PS- The links are still black unless you hover over them; my b.  I will try to fix that soon.

Pink Hurr Don't Currrr

Okay, so now that my corporate job search is over and I've settled into my post-grad life a little, I dyed the ends of my hair pink.  I've been getting a lot of compliments, so I thought I'd show you how I did it! (blurred my face out because I'm awkward...like really, what kind of face do you make? I'm not smiling for a selfie)

First, part your hair how you normally would, and then braid it in pigtails.

Next, rub the dye thoroughly through the selected portions of your hair.  Make sure you get the whole area up by the elastic, it can be tricky.  I recommend using rubber gloves so that you don't dye your hands as well.  This girl also recommends Hot Hot Pink Manic Panic because it's semi-permanent and goes on very easily.

Alright, then you wrap the parts you're coloring in tin foil and let it chill for about 25 minutes or so.  Then, if desired for extra intensity, you can heat the ends with a blow dryer for a few minutes.

Last, rinse the dye out with cold water.  It's going to take a little while, but you can wash your hair normally after (note: dye may still rinse out slightly for the next few washes).

 

Voila! And shoutout to my girl Kelly.

Let me know if you have any questions about the process; I'm more than willing to share more tips! :)

Peace, Love, & Fashion.

Wow, I can't believe this is my first post of the new year -- eeeeek, super sorry about that; I've been really busy with Bobbi-Toads per usual.  Also, tons of visitors in Miami recently!  I got a new Fujifilm Finepix camera for Christmas because, like everyone else, I'm convinced I am a photographer ever since my first upload to Instagram.  But really, I just wanted a camera to play with; what a fun big-kid toy!  Here's some of the photos I've taken so far: 

I took these (above) photos in my cousins' backyard in Deer Park, IL. (Hi, Hillary :D ) The most snow I got to see while spending time in Chicago.

Christmas at home.

My beautiful baby on Christmas morning.  Holly loves Christmas because of all the wrapping paper and presents :o) [If you've ever spoken with anyone in my family, you'd know] She is our pride and joy.  Srsly.

Laughter is life's most beautiful remedy.
