Wow that was quite the prolonged hibernation on my part. Sorry bout that folks! Don't worry I'm still alive and kickin' and I think of my blog often. I know I always say this but it's been tough for me to take photos and feel motivated to do outfit posts without someone to help me take photos. My sister, Sophia and I were able to reunite and do a couple of shoots. It was so fun shooting with her again. She is so talented. Please check out her photography blog here. And it's always fun for me to pretend being a model. heh heh. We are going to live in the same city soon and I'm super excited! And my blog will be in full mode...until then you'll have to put up with my attempted selfies. ha.

I was able to visit home for a week and it was wonderful, simply put. It was so nice to be home with the family and to catch up with friends. It was too short of a visit, but it was worth it. I was able to attend my sister's photography gallery, visit my lola {grandma}, hang out with my besties, do some shoots, celebrate my mom's birthday, eat a lot of good food, and spend time with my sister and my cute niece and nephew! I miss them tons! That's one of the tough things about living away from home is that I don't get to be with them and they're growing up so fast in my absence. What a blessing skype is. For reals.

On a fashion note: I'm loving the 'sporty' mixed with class look these days. I think it's super cool and it's comfy! I'm still on the lookout for some snapbacks and would love another pair of Nike Free runs. I love how you can just wear a fancy outfit with a pair of tennis shoes and not be signified as tacky. I have always (mostly) dressed for comfort and I'm glad fashion is becoming more of my friend and becoming comfort friendly. Just my cup of tea :)

What do you think of the sporty trend? Tacky or cool?

Hey friends!

Guess what?! I FINALLY got my hurr did. I did the ombre (faded hair color), celebrity trend of 2011. I gotta admit, the first time I heard of this trend I was thinking, "That's kinda weird". But what can I say...it eventually grew on me. I know I'm way behind on the trend but that's okay...I don't always follow timelines or current trends. ha

So I did it! I dyed my hair for the first time by myself. Scary! I never really dyed my hair and I am too cheap to do it professionally. So this was a pretty big deal for me. But I wasn't too worried because I figured I could always dye it back or cut off the ends if it's messed up. And I had good training from my trustee youtube friends like this one here. hehe. And I don't remember the last time I got a haircut (probably over 6 months...I know, pretty bad huh?), so I don't care about damaging my already dead ends. 

In order to get this effect bleaching is the only way to go. I didn't want to go too drastic and bleach blonde, so I stuck with more subtle shades that blend better with my jet-black hair. Hmm...I don't know...maybe I'll do it again and go lighter. heh heh. But I'm happy with the results and happy to have a change. Anyways, enough of my ramblings...

So here it is...

What do ya'll think? Should I go lighter?

galaxy nails

Here is another awesome {referred} tutorial I found and I would like to share. I have just recently been getting into painting my nails and have found that it is a fun way to be creative and change things up.

This tutorial is on the galaxy nail art. I don't know if you have followed the galaxy trend...but it has been quite the hype these days. I don't think I'm bold enough to wear galaxy clothes...but I like the idea as a nail design. Are you a fan of galaxy prints? So anyways, here is the tutorial by Andrea from the youtube channel, Andrea's Choice. She has nice tutorials and a fun personality. Galaxy nails are actually super easy to do at home! Go ahead 'n give it a try!
