Quick Overalls Appreciation Post

This is just a quick post about how much I love these Mother Denim overalls!!! They are so comfy and fun to wear. A nice perk is that they make my butt look nice, haha! For under, I wore a white cropped t-shirt. For shoes I wore a pair of high-top vans, they'd definitely look great with a pair of converse as well! This outfit is a more tomboyish one, but it's great for just hanging around and looking super cute at the same time. 

Until next time!!!

Denver Wedding Outfit

Hello, hello, hello!!! I've missed you all so much... I know I don't know a lot of you or maybe I do, but I always feel like I'm talking to my friends when I'm writing these posts <3 As I said in my previous post, I was in Denver this past weekend. It was great catching up with family for such a special event, weddings truly are one of my favorite things to go to. I love everything about them. One of the best parts about weddings (in my opinion), is getting all done up and ready. I've been so excited to share this look with you all..

 For my makeup I just want to focus on the lipstick.. I am completely in love with this color, "Flynn," by Tom Ford. It is a soft pinky color that feels so nice and silky on my lips... I am literally obsessed..

I found this Topshop dress (which is actually a top and skirt) at Nordstrom about a month or two ago and I've been saving it for the wedding. I ended up accidentally matching the wedding colors (navy and yellow), but I gotta admit, it still looked great. The dress itself made me feel so confident and fierce... I love how clothes can do that... 

These shoes were surprisingly comfortable!! I haven't been wearing normal shoes (sandals, heels, etc.) because I've been dancing so much, so it was pretty strange wearing heels again. These Sam Edelman heels were amazing! The silver definitely matched up with the dress pretty perfectly. I would definitely consider a blush nude heel with this dress if I wear it again.

Thank you for reading!! Love you all and I hope you have a fabulous week!!

HAIR UPDATE

I know you are all thinking.. "What else could she have possibly done to her hair?" Well, I feel like I need to share with you all an updated version of my silver hair! When I first did the silver I went with the Wella toner and it really did look good.... BUT I FOUND SOMETHING BETTER AND SAFER. I recently headed over to my normal hair salon (Luxe Salon & Spa.. They are great. Go there.). All I went in for was a trim and tone. While there, my hairstylist, Danielle, and I started experimenting with ideas on what to use to make the silver more vibrant. With the help of some other stylists, we decided on using Pravana CromaSilk Vivids color in Silver! This stuff is seriously fabulous. All you do is mix it with some conditioner and apply. Like seriously, no developer... does it get any better than that? Especially considering the amount of bleaching my hair has undergone. This was like finding gold. I absolutely love my color now. It might be a little too blue, but I'm really starting to like it.

Another amazing product I have started using is Olaplex! My hairstylist uses it in my bleaching sessions and I just purchased the take-home treatment. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who has been coloring or damaging their hair. I apply it from root to tip on unwashed towel-dried hair. The instructions say to leave it on for at least 10 minutes, but I sleep with it on and wash it out with shampoo and conditioner the next morning. You will really be amazed at how healthy and soft your hair will feel!

Okay that's all for now... I will be in Colorado next week, so expect some amazing pictures on my next post!

Here's a silver selfie for ya..

Hip Hop Internationals 2015

Wowza! It has been quite the week for me! Sorry about this being a day late, but I have good reasoning.

For the past week I've experienced so many unforgettable things. First, I should probably tell you all that I am on a dance crew here in Arizona! We are called Elektro Academy. Some of you may know about us, some of you may not. For the past few months we have been putting in many hours to be ready for what we see as the Olympics of what we do. The first half of the week out in San Diego we were competing against crews all across America to represent our country at Worlds. After making it through preliminaries and semi-finals, we made it to finals. Much to out amazement, we got 3rd place in the country. This meant we got to go to worlds. Going up on stage to get our medals is a moment I will never forget.. I also don't think I've ever cried so hard in my life. There are people that have been going to HHI for 5+ years and have never placed. This was a huge deal for us. I'm actually sitting here with the biggest smile on my face just writing about it. 

Sadly, at Worlds we didn't get past prelims. This only had me bummed for about an hour because eventually I realized that this is my first time at HHI and I got to Worlds... Worlds is an experience that stays with you for forever. The amount of people from all over the world that I got to meet made me feel extremely humbled and blessed. The language barrier between many of us was never an issue. We all spoke one language we all could understand and that is dance..
