New Hair!

Hair is all done! In about a week or so, depending on how my hair feels, I will be making this a more ashy blonde. Yes my hair is INCREDIBLY fried, it feels awful.. like straw & my bangs are frizzy pieces of what used to be hair. Unfortunately thats what happens when you go from the red I did to this colour blonde in about 18hours. I did get my hair cut but my hair is so very dry still. I have a few keratin & oil treatments to do this week & hopefully the texture improves.

Mary-Kate Olsen Look #1

 I love this look, too bad Im not blonde :( it would've suited me so much better if I was. I think red lips can easily compete with red hair but it was a fun & surprisingly simple look to create.

SNEAK PEAK!

Here's a sneak peak of my new hair. No makeup, about to go to sleep :)

Judging by the peachy colour, the process isnt quite finished yet. A bit more bleach here & some ash blonde there, then everything will be complete! Ive been asked many times by makeup artists who have worked on me or that I've worked with if Im a natural blonde because I have the colouring of one (most redheads do.. yes I am naturally red). A girl at work keeps telling me to go strawberry blonde but I personally dont find strawberry blonde attractive on anyone so I've decided to go completely blonde! My next makeup post is to blame, along with quite a few celebrities who are naturally red that pull off blonde super well. Also Kelly Osbourne & Ashlee Simpson are my celeb inspirations & they're both almost platinum at the moment. I have been blonde before but my hair was super short & I didnt give the blonde enough time to really enjoy it because I had to do my roots within 3 weeks (my hair grows fast). I dyed it black within a month. Im really excited to be blonde again, even though its alot of upkeep, especially for a natural redhead, but I really needed something different since my life has changed so much recently. I wanted to reflect that in myself as well :)

FOTD: Plumage Blues

This is just a REALLY QUICK fotd post. I wore this to work yesterday & I didnt have enough time to take a bunch of photos so I snapped this one right before I had to leave just for you guys! This look actually got me tons of compliments, which surprised me because I thought it might've been a little strong against my peaches & cream complexion. I am not a fan of wearing lipstick or lipgloss to work, mainly because my hair gets stick in it on the way there. At work I paired this look with Benefits new "Benetint Lip Balm" which is a nice cherry red colour (identical to their original "Benetint").

What I Workout In

I like working out in as little clothing as possible. I hate sweating & feeling really hot because of fabric. I also like being able to watch which muscles are working when Im using the weight machines. I prefer tank tops over tshirts & shorts over pants. Alot of the time I wear leggings that go mid calf but I've just recently been able to fit into my old short shorts from highschool so I've been sporting those instead. My shoes arent any awesome kind, they were the cheapest ones that I found. I do need to pick up a better pair, preferrably addidas or something made for athletes since my shoes slip & slide easily. The traction sucks. I dont spend a ton of money on specific athletic wear like Lulu Lemon or anything. I would love to afford their clothes but its not a requirement to workout.

FOTD: Smokey Neutrals

 I've been on a neutrals kick lately. I find them to be the most simplest looks to do & they flatter my eye colour very nicely. Neutrals also dont clash with whatever Im wearing. Today Im going to dinner with James & his friend. Dont mind the slightly bluish tone to the eye photo. It was extremely red hued so I tried to fix it but this is as good as I was able to make it.
