RAINBOW HAIR DON'T CARE

Fearless Fashionable Hair Color

I recently colored my hair pink on a whim after almost a year of being platinum blonde...(this is what happens when you get bored at work and you work in a hair salon.)  At first I was like, "WTF DID I DOOOOO?!", but now I am so in love with it and everytime I wash it it fades a little bit and looks that much cooler!  So, if you're on the fence about trying something new and exciting with your hair this photo gallery of gorgeous rainbow hair might help you out!  Try...

SIN CITY FASHION

Heating Up Vegas In Style!!!

I just recently got back from a girls trip with my Salon HUSH family to Las Vegas and it was BEYOND amazing!  It is a huge, fabulous city with tons of glitz and glamor and it was all very inspiring, so I went all out with my outfit choices.  We hit up the outlet malls and I got tons of rad gear that I knew I might not be able to find back home.  Below is a few pics of a couple treasures I scored (mostly shoes) along with a few personal snap shots of my trip!  Enjoy<3Xoxo...

VISIONS OF THE FUTURE

Setting Goals & Creating Vision Boards for 2013

Well, it's only a couple more days before we cross over into the year 2013!  Saying it out loud sounds so futuristic it's almost scary, however the scariest part is that this year has sped by in a blink of an eye.  Approaching the new year everyone usually makes an effort to make a resolution or just turn over a new leaf.  In my opinion it's just another day, but it is a good starting point to make a change.  Naturally I am quite scatter-brained, but lately it...

HOT OR NOT?

Miley Goes Shorter!

So, Miley Cyrus shocked the world with her Draco Malfoy inspired pixie cut (which I personally love) and has now revealed an even SHORTER crop!  I am not digging it at all.  I feel like her first initial chop was edgy, punky and still flattering but this new 'do looks like she tried shaving her head and her clippers died halfway through.  If she buzzed it right down to the wood like Amber Rose I think she would look badass!  Go big or go home, Miley!  What do you...

COLD COOL

My Personal Winter Fashion

I can be a super huge baby when it comes to the weather lately and besides going to work, it takes me a lot of convincing to get me out of the house.  So, when it's -30 it can be easier to choose function over fashion, but there's no reason we can't all look cute and be warm!  Lately, I've been doing my best to layer up and stylize my winter apparel.  Here is a list of what I am wearing to keep myself from curling up into a ball and dying in a snow bank...
