Think Pink. A very bright PINK

 HERE IS MY NEW PINK HAIR!
So, due to the fact that my ends were black from my previous ombre style we couldn't just go black to pink without extensive bleaching at first which would have damaged the hair. My wonderful dresser did a gradual lightening of the ends so over time we could move the pink down. We darkened the top like I wanted do a cool light brown. I have never gone 'cool' tones before as my natural hue is 'warm' but I loved it. I loved it so much that decided to add bangs!
 It is very bright pink right now cause the dye is a vegetable dye and it will fade fast to more of a lighter tone which is what I was shooting for. Lets see how I like the fading. That will determine whether I will stick with this combo for a few months at least...

I went with a *very* basic outfit today to showcase the new hair. Just a simple black tee with skinny jeans and platforms. Added the fun purse as a focal point...

Inspiration:




Tee, Jeans - Forever 21
Shoes - Aldo
Purse - From turkey
Bracelets - Target

TODAY:
My cousin arrived from Turkey last night so we got to spend a lot of quality time with her. Also attended a playdate with kindergarten class my son will start. It wasn't great. Even though the mom's mingled and got to know each other, most of the kids would refuse to mingle. It was a large park though with 3 playgrounds so too much room to spread out. Next playdate will be at the school grounds this Sunday so hoping they will talk to each other then.

First Nail Polish

 This was inspired by In Style's January 2012 issue:

Just an opportunity to wear these items together. The tee is new though so that was exciting...











Shirt Jacket - Gap
Scarf - Ed Hardy
Tee, Skirt, hat - Forever 21
Boots - Steve Madden
Clutch - Romwe

TODAY:
Kids had snack today so that was fun since they got to be teacher's helpers all day.





After school I took the two other mommies who babysat the kids during my kindergarten tour and breakdown late arrival on Wednesday to lunch.

Later in the afternoon my daughter made me promise that we would paint her nails pink. She asked for this before nap so I gave in but told her we would take it off before bath. She sat there without moving an inch then waited with her hands spread open on a pillow for 10 minutes for the polish to dry! I wish I had taken a photo fo that pose but I had promised to help with my son's puzzle after the polish application.
She is just such a girl. Then she put on her princess outfit and played super hero with her brother's mask! And that is my Juliet in a nutshell....



My sample clothes have finally arrived!!!!
I was sooo excited and opened them one by one and hung them on the new rack. The ones that were close to my size I started trying them on and creating outfits with my own scarf and necklace accessories...
I took photos although in the evening light and inside and the chaos of my house they came out a bit blurry but it is past 1 AM now and i have to go to bed so I will post tomorrow.
I also will link up to FBFF tomorrow too...
I need more time in the day that is for sure....
