Elephants

I don't know what color my hair is trying to be lately. I dyed it a short while ago and it was supposed to be black, but my hair always wants to be red. So I'm considering actually dying it red. Like THIS kind of red, or THIS. Or perhaps more of a red highlight like THIS. Or you know, trying dying it black again like THIS. Too many options!! I love playing with my hair though! Lately I've been trying out different hairstyles. Mainly braids. I've been having fun with it and once I get better I'll do tutorials on my YouTube page (PS, I have one hair tutorial up already on how I curl my hair, check it out HERE). But I also have been letting my hair stay more natural lately instead of abusing it with heat, so below is mostly my natural hair, just a little tweaking with my straightener in a few places.

Anyways, I'm in love with this outfit because it's simple. It has a lot of different pieces that makes it look a bit fancier, but it's so comfy and cute. My necklace isn't very visible in these pictures, but I won it from my friend at Styled By Blondie! I'm in love with it and have had fun putting it with different outfits. My latest obsession has been necklaces and I wear them all the time. I want more though....

Well I hope you enjoy this outfit, because I sure do. And I hope you have a fabulous day!

A Touch of Pink

These pictures are not the greatest, just to warn you in advanced. It was really cold, I had to get to work, it was the best I could do. 

This is one of my new favorite dresses. It's from Old Navy. Lately I've been so in love with Old Navy. They have great prices and great stuff. I am beginning to wonder why I stopped going there. 

But yeah... I love this dress. Not much else to say I guess. Enjoy!

Slow Down

Life, I need to talk to you

Can you spare a minute just to tell me what to do?

And I'm trying to climb this hill

I can feel you pass me by like I'm standing still

The things I gotta do

I'm feeling you leaving me behind

And I know I don't wanna go down this road alone

And I'm running out of time

So slow down, you're losing me

And I can't see what you want me to be

So slow down 'cause all I know is I can't go

As fast as you have got me spinning round

I'm barely hanging on, slow down

Why the moments pass me by?

Memories that I can't keep as hard as I may try

Oh life, you're so beautiful

I wish it wasn't so but I can only stay until

Though you say I gotta go

God only knows when that's gonna be

With all my might I'm trying to keep up with you

And now you're running away from me

So slow down, you're losing me

And I can't see what you want me to be

So slow down 'cause all I know is I can't go

As fast as you have got me spinning round

I'm barely hanging on, slow down

So slow down, you're losing me

And I can't see what you want me to be

So slow down 'cause all I know is I can't go

As fast as you have got me spinning round

Oh, look at how you got me spinning around

I'm barely hanging on, slow down

This post was previously ridiculously long. I wrote for a very long time about my stress and my depression, but I deleted it all. Because once I wrote it down, once I let it all out, I felt better. 

The song above has been in my mind a lot lately because I've been dealing with a lot. There is so much stress in my life and things have been really hard. I just want my life to slow down. I want a break. I want a minute where I don't have to feel like this. I want to feel like myself again...

Style Icon: Demi Lovato

From the very beginning of this blog I have talked about my love of Demi Lovato. She is such a role model to me and I honestly love her so much. She is such an inspiration to me as a person, but she's also a style icon for me as well.

In high school I wanted her hair and throughout high school and my first few years of college, I had my hair specifically dyed to look similar to hers. And while now I don't have the desire to have her current hair (shaved side, crazy colors), a part of me will always want the way her hair once was (not that her current hair isn't awesome too, she totally rocks it, it's just not for me). But I've always loved her style as well. From her days on Sonny With a Chance and Camp Rock to now, I still love her style.

Demi always has a bit of a rocker in her. She'll wear a skirt with a leather jacket, or "Converse with my dress" and I love that! She also wears black as much as I do. Black is my favorite color. Dressing down or dressing up, she knows how to pair different items together and make it work. Her hair and makeup is always flawless, but she's also a huge promoter of #MakeupFreeMonday and often posts a makeup free photo on Instagram once a week. Through everything she's been though, she's all about having a positive self-image and uses herself as an example as much as she can. She loves her curves, different hair colors, and her freckles and isn't afraid to share them.

Demi Lovato has such a wide, but wonderful style and she always has and always will be one of my style icons, and most favorite celebrities in existence. And now, like always, here's a million pictures of her.

I think her makeup is gorgeous in this.

I'm always tempted to dye my hair red like this, but maybe a bit darker...

Ah! Her hair and makeup is incredible!

I've been joining in on #MakeupFreeMonday lately, and you should too! 

Also, if you've made it this far, CONGRATS! But I want to apologize for my lack of fashion posts. I'm trying to get into the habit again of taking pictures every night. So hopefully I'll have some soon!
