Ombre Hair!





 What I used
-Jerome Russell Powder Bleach with Cream Peroxide Developer in 30 Vol.
-A hair dye brush

I finally got around to doing ombre! My friend actually helped me out because she has done it before on herself and I trust her with my hair :) I really wanted ombre hair that is well blended in and had more blonde towards the end, instead of just brown. I'm VERY pleased with the result and regret not doing this earlier! I was originally planning on cutting it off after my ombre, but seeing how lovely it is, I think I'm going to keep it for a while. 

If you are worried about your hair going extremely dry and horrible, then don't do it. I've never had split ends in my entire life, but after this ombre process, I found myself with tons of split ends! Also, my ends do feel and look slightly drier than normal, but I deep condition them every week to treat the dryness. The picture on the very bottom is after my haircut! I trimmed all the dead hair off and got myself some side swept bangs.

Some general tip for maximum hair repair is to wash your hair in 2 to 3 days. I was that person who used to wash my hair every single day because I hated my day old hair feeling, yuck! However, in order to save my hair, I only wash it after about 2 days or even 3 because my hair does not oily.  Even though my hair does not get greasy after few days, it looses volume and just looks like a day or two old hair. So what I'll do is take my dry shampoo and revive those volume in my hair.

Wow that was a long post! If you have any questions about this process, please leave a comment below so I can get back to you as soon as I can! Thank you :)

Until next post...

Stranger Attractor






| REFLECTION SHOES, SUNGLASSES | XXI FOREVER TANK DRESS, BANGLES, CUFF | H&M BELT, SKIRT |

While searching through my closet, I found my old Forever 21 tank bodycon dress that I got a long time ago. I tried it on and thought "not bad." So I decided to recreate a look with it, sort of girly and edgy. I think Reflection is becoming my all-time favorite store for shoes because they don't break my wallet but I can find designer inspired shoes that I like, but not to the point of actually buying them full-price (like JC Litas). The big belt in the middle, in my opinion, isn't the best option, but I didn't have any other black belt that could cinch my waist in. Oh, I'm also loving silver jewelries this summer.

The title is from a song I'm currently listening to by Animal Kingdom.

Until next post...

Garden Tea Party






| FOREVER 21 SHIRT, NECKLACE | H&M SKIRT, RING | CLAIRE'S HAT | REFLECTION SUNGLASSES | JEFFREY CAMPBELL LITA IN SUEDE TAUPE | URBAN DECAY NAKED PALETTE |

I was going through my closet the other day and rediscovered the flower skirt above. I remember I used to adore that skirt last summer, but after that season ended, it was abandoned in the corner of my closet. This is why I love "shopping" my closet. Things that you used to love and once forgotten are rediscovered.
Gosh, just staring at my JC Litas makes me filled with joy and happiness. It's such a charming pair of gorgeous heels. Can't wait for fall/winter to arrive so I can wear it out more often!

Until next post... xx

Lemon meringue







| H&M SUNGLASSES, SHOES | XXI FOREVER SHIRT, SKIRT, BANGLES, NECKLACE | 

I'm so in love with this color lately: highlighter yellow. Summer is kicking in my style. I paired it up with an A-line white skirt, which makes my legs look longer and tanner. Finished it off with some gold tone jewelries. It was really hot today, so I needed to make myself some strawberry and banana milk smoothie.  So good! Now I'm craving for some more...

'Til my next post!

Palm Trees!

I'm beginning to love tie-dye things. I used to think they are too hippie-style for me, but as the summer arrived I'm okay with it. Those shorts are the cutest. I wish I could afford all of these!

Suddenly I See






 | FRY'S ELECTRONICS HEADPHONES | FOREVER 21 SHIRT DRESS | URBAN OUTFITTERS PURSE | DOC MARTENS |

I love starting my day with good music because it instantly brightens up my day. The title of this outfit is one of the songs I love listening to in the morning, because it was featured in the movie Devil Wears Prada, and this song comes up when all the women are getting ready in the morning to start their days. Listen to it:

Suddenly I See - KT Tunstall
 Perfume of the day: DKNY Be Delicious
This is an amazing perfume. It's very fruity and juicy, so not heavy at all. I bought the little version of this, so I only have a little bit left... sad. But this is my all time favorite perfume to use throughout the whole year, preferrably spring and summer!
 So you guys are probably used to seeing me with wavy hair.. today I decided to straighten my hair. Wondering what products I used? Here you go: Got2b heat protector, Remington Pearl Straightener, Biotherm Silk Therapy (not shown above)
Last but not least... this is my leftover lunch from school. I just finished eating these... so yummy! I love my mom for making me legit Kimbap every morning.. :')

Hope you guys enjoyed my outfit! I cannot wait for the weekend to come already.

Spring Breeze


| FOREVER 21 NAVY BLAZER | H&M NECKLACE, SHIRT | AMERICAN EAGLE OUTFITTERS SHORTS | DOC MARTENS | TARGET CROSSBODY | MICKEY MOUSE WATCH |

I'm so happy that spring is coming! Not only do I love wearing pastels and bold colors, I love the warm sunlight and the breeze. It's just awesome. I really wanted to incorporate my navy blazer today so I decided to have a theme of blue clothes and silver jewelry. Speaking of which, I got my Mickey Mouse watch from my dear friend for my birthday present! I LOVE IT. Also, I added in my nail color of the week which is Essie's Ladylike with a coat of glitter polish on top. I added in the glitter to make it more spring appropriate, because Ladylike is very Autumn-inspired.

Leave me a comment about #1 thing you are excited for spring time! :)

Oh Darling





 WHAT I WORE:
| CLAIRE'S FEDORA, BUTTERFLY RING | FOREVER 21 LEAF EARRINGS, TRENCH COAT, PLAID SHIRT | URBAN OUTFITTERS BDG DENIM | JEFFREY CAMPBELL LITA IN TAUPE SUEDE |

CLOSE UPS:


I got the ring on the left from H&M last weekend! I love it. 


My treasure ♥

I was very uninspired today because I was stressing out about this math quiz I had to take. So when I woke up, I was just standing in front of my closet with my bed hair thinking: "what should I wear?" Then I remembered this one song that I kept replaying yesterday which was 'Oh Darling' by Plug In Stereo. (Shown below) This one is an acoustic version, but it's just as good as the original version.
Inspired by this lovely song, I put together this dandy-like outfit.


 Oh yeah, GUESS WHAT? I got the NAKED palette by Urban Decay. Because I don't use eyeshadows, I thought it would be a good time for me to start experimenting with eye shadows to see what's good for my eyeshape.

Well, that's it for today's post! I hope you are having a fantastic day :)
ps. I think I did pretty good on that quiz, haha.
