Bloggy Make-Over

*Update*
My personal computer has crashed and we've been grieving the loss of my mother as of last August. I apolgize for the delay in my plans to have us up and running again.

Hey Readers,

I'm attempting to make this blog lighter and brighter. Bear with me while I monkey around with the settings and try a few different things. Everything isn't *quite* how I want it yet, but I've been working on it day and night. I have tons of content waiting to be finished; Some reviews of some really great products, just for you! I apologize for having posted so little lately, but I have been drafting some content- I haven't forgotten you! It's been an incredibly difficult year, personally... I'm ready to heal up and put 110% into this blog. I'll have this place booming with product reviews, tutorials, and spotlights on top notch brands and blogs. I will be keeping you up to date with the most current trends and sneak peeks at the latest launches from our favorite brands and some really terrific up-and-coming's.

Anyway, I better get back to face-lifting this blog. I've got HTML to write and graphics to customize and create. Thus far, I've discovered some very cute elements from Shabby Blogs to pretty us up while I finish creating a totally original design. Just wanted to let you know what's going on with the look of the blog and to assure you that it'll be tidied up in no time. If you have any input/suggestions for the finished product, feel free to leave a comment.

Some themes I've pondered are red and white like candy stripe, retro seafoam-baby pink-baby blue, white-pink-black, shades of purple, white-chartreuse-navy (or teal), or a leopard print using any of those colour schemes. At first I was thinking of a really cute 1950's design using the second colour scheme mentioned. I drafted it up, and it was totally adorable; I'm sure most of you would have loved it... but it lacked that certain element of my personality. The twist of attitude; the spice; the the element that is uniquely mine. I can't think of a word to describe it, except maybe "soul." I want to incorporate my soul- the essence of me, into this blog. It's my pride and joy and I've got big plans for it.

See you soon!

PS: I wanted to show you this pretty cute hair idea. At first I thought it was dyed, but later I found this add, showing that it's a clip in. It looks awesome, and the clip in might be a bit more convenient, as you'd have to keep your hair perfectly straight if it were coloured in such a way, otherwise it may look a little strange. When I was in high school I wanted to shave a section of my hair and have my head tattoo'd leopard print. Nowadays girls are actually doing this- It's become mainstream! I recently shaved the left side of my head and coloured the hair leopard print, but since I've been doing some modeling (including walking the runway for hair shows) I decided to colour my hair closer to one colour and am currently growing out the shaved side.

IMG Address

While I was searching for a URL for the picture of the leopard print hair (and I didn't seem to find the original source, but that image is watermarked anyway) I stumbled across several photos of babies wearing headpieces. Headpieces that are so freaking ridiculous that they're the most adorable thing ever. Hope you love'em! I've linked'em in the captions. As a side note, I always have the worst time trying to position these pictures. It's not as simple as drag and drop, and I haven''t grasped it yet- not when there are so many images. I apologize if it's somewhat messy on your screen. I'll leave you now with these little rays of sunshine.
