Mane Matters

For a while now I have been having thoughts about changing my hair style in a somewhat drastic way (at least something noticeably different from this plain hair cut that I have had for almost a year now). Since I am going home next week (so exciting I know!), I must decide whether or not I should change, and what changes I should ask my hair dresser for.

With that in mind, I played around with the InStyle Hollywood Makeover last night trying out bangs (my most preferred option) and short hair (even though this will not be happening any time soon because my mane is still recovering from the last time I cut it above shoulder length).

So anyways here are some pictures of how I would look (would obviously look less glamorous, but it is an approximation).

Feel free to comment and let me know what you think.

So these first two are the most probable (or real looking). The second one being my almost daily look (if I can handle my hair properly that is)

Third one is my favorite, but I clearly won't be straightening my hair on a daily basis. The fourth one was a crazy experiment to see how I would look with darker hair (could happen, but probably not anytime soon!)

Oufit: Lace Dress

Monday I wore my new Lace Dress that I got on my shopping spree at Urban on Saturday. I am so proud of myself for having an actual income that I treat myself to the occasional shopping spree (or should i say bi-weekly due to my online shopping addiction!) Anyways here is my outfit and I am happy to now own a lace piece of clothing.

Worn with another Urban piece: gray 3/4 sleeve sweater (to potentially replace my beloved Abercrombie grandpa sweater); and my favorite brown boots, Ralph Lauren riding flat boots!

Hoax at work

So this entry is probably like no other, but I am so mad right now that I have to express my rage somewhere (or everywhere I possibly can). Here is why I am so out of my mind right now:

So today at work this man walks into Ceri and claims to be looking for a present for his 58-year-old mother. He walked around asking for my advice, claiming over and over again how good it was to be a "gay and rich man who can just walk around buying clothes for older women". After choosing an outfit of about $4300 (complete with a clutch, a bracelet, two necklaces, a sweater and a cape) he told me his assistant, who supposedly was at Valentino picking up some other things, would come by and pay for everything with her Visa. The stuff was then meant to be shipped to his mother "Marguerite".

What pisses me off the most is the fact that somebody would take the time to walk into a store, kindly shake hands and introduce himself, pretend to be a buyer, pick an outfit, brag about being rich, insist that I take the tip he was going to give me (since I don't get commission) and then just leave me hanging!

Ah! That feels a little better even though I am still secretly hoping that he might walk in later this week and buy everything (he did say he was going to come visit and even asked when I worked there).

Well then.. off to my regular Monday night activities (work, chilling and Brothers & Sisters)

Happy Sappy Crappy Valentine's Day

For those of you wondering, no I don't mean have a horrible Valentine's Day. My title refers to the three types of Valentine's Day that somebody could have.

First of all I need to mention that I have previously been in the "crappy" category, since I always focus on the fact that i don't have a "loved one" to celebrate V-Day with. However, this year I have decided I need to be over that. V-Day is not only about boyfriend-girlfriend relationships, its also about friendship and other relationships. Love can be given in many ways (however "sappy" that may sound!)

So lets start with the worst possible V-Day that someone can have.

• Crappy: lets say you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend to spend your V-Day with; instead you decide to buy a box of chocolates,pint of ice-cream and a bottle of wine and sulk in your bed all night (maybe even day) while watching romantic comedies (or dramas if you're really depressed).
• Sappy: This refers to all those who want the whole world to know that they are completely in love with each other. No public display is necessary, but many couples feel like they need to make their love evident to others. Romantic dinners, flower arrangements, boxed chocolates, cliched greeting cards, champagne, etc.
• Happy: for all those single ladies (and guys), not having a couple doesn't mean you can't have a very HAPPY V-Day! Think about it this way: would you not celebrate having friends and loved ones if there were a holiday for that? Well there is. V-Day has been totally misinterpreted by many who think it has to be all about couples love. Well love for a friend or family member is also valid! So enjoy this V-Day by celebrating with your girlfriends (or guyfriends), and bring on the holiday!

Audio Obsession

I recently was introduced to "the United States of Pop 2009" (a song with which I am now utterly obsessed). With that said, I came across DJ Earworm's website (actually looked for it hehe) and have now listened to several of his mixes. Let's just say this guy is very very talented and I would love to see him live (or have him mash up songs at my party!)

If you haven't already, go to his website and explore his work. Believe me its worth the time (and there's free downloads!).

Here are some pictures of him and the video of my current audio obsession.
