Parrot top

Yes, that was a pun. You know, instead of Carrot top I said Parrot top. Carrot top has some awesome wild red locks going on though. I can't guarantee ya I won't ever get a red 'fro somewhere down the line.

Since it's been terribly hot the last week/week and a half I thank my lucky numbers I bought some tank tops/light shirts in the last remains of July sales. One I will be featuring in my next post, (amusement park post with lots of pictures, including a picture of the crotch of a huge Arabian dude statue. You'll see.) one I will be featuring now! I'm normally not all that into shirts with random prints but animals/nature is always good. For realz or on shirts, 's all guud. So, without further ado, here's my parrot top!

Pretty, huh? I loved it immediately, the parrot looks like it's painted with watercolors. I love watercolors! It's a pretty simple outfit but it was comfy and colorful. That's all I need! Close up of my promised nosering!:

Mhmmm, total badass. I never saw myself as a badass but swooning over Xena: the warrior princess, goths and punks as a little girl (how could I not, my older sister was a punk for a while) I pretty much vowed to myself to be at least somewhat of a badass, some day. I still have the same shy, goofy smile I had when I was seven but I now smile goofily with bright green short hair and a nosering. :-D Oh yeah, I cut my hair again. First I'm going to finish up my "long hair" posts before I'll show you my new 'do but I can tell you it's WICKED HOT. I've said this so many times before but I always feel so much more like myself with freshly cut hair. When I've washed my hair I just kind of shake like a dog and my hair is exactly as I like it, slightly strange and messy. Just the way I like my men, too.

On the flip side, I'll see you! (you'll have to imagine the Yoda voice with it yourself :-D)

Okay I won't keep you waiting any longer. HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?

GAH so happy! Colors used: Violet, Neon Blue and Flamingo Pink, all from Directions, bought at Beeunique! My friend did my hair, he always does such a wonderful job, he puts in so much effort to make my hair look awesome and that's just one of the many reasons why I want to marry him! He always said he wasn't much of an artist but he always does a great job at dying my hair. Who needs a hairdresser when you have an awesome partner? I wish he would let me dye his hair. :-( I'd give him yellow and green hair and it'd look awesome. PLEASE? And a mohawk! :-D This has to come on my bucket list. 'Dye his hair. Mohawk Optional.' Ah well, I might get a mohawk myself, one day. I can't believe how gorgeous my hair is. I love love love 'neon blue', gosh what a beautiful color. I've had a different purple, 'plum', before, and I like this one so much better. It's so much more vibrant and colorful, and the pink! The pink is just perfection. You can probably tell I'm really happy. Every time I look in the mirror I go *GASP* ! Have a lovely day, babes, and let's spread the color!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY & ode to awesome boyfriend

TO ME! :-D Here I am with my birthday post! I'll show you my presents, cake and outfit! Get ready!

On exactly the first minute of my birthday I got my first present from my boyfriend. A little box black box. Of course the first thing you think when you see a box like that is 'ZOMG it's a ring!' and I was hoping for a little jewellery from my guy! This was the box:

Pretty cute, right? My boyfriend usually sucks at wrapping gifts but he did his best and it looked so adorable! Inside, there was a gorgeous ring and a little note saying 'To the happiness in my life, happy birthday. I love you'. *melts*

Gorgeous, right? I love this kind of jewellery, colorful and feminine but not too girly and petite. When I wear tiny rings it kind of looks like my finger is eating the ring. I have a bit of chubs on my fingers. :-D

I love this ring and it shows that my boyfriend really knows what I like! Perfection! We always kind of use birthdays/anniversaries as little tests to show how well we know each other. Books, movies, jewellery, we know how to make each other happy! I also got these amazing earrings:

Again, LOVE! He knows what I love down to a T.

These are all the presents I got from my man, including the ring, earrings, 'The West Wing' box set (one of my favorite tv shows of all time! C.J. Cregg is my homegirl!), a beautiful shade of lipstick (bright peachy!) and a subscription to my favorite photography magazine for a whole year!!! I'm so incredibly happy with all the presents and I'll be enjoying all of them for a long time! I got some presents from my mom too, who never knows what to buy. :-D:

I was out of bodylotion and face cream so that came in handy, the plaid thingie underneath the bottle are pyjamas and a claire's giftcard. I saw a couple of things in claire's that I wanted so I told my mom to go to there if she didn't know what to buy me. She went to claire's but still didn't know what to buy so she gave me a gift card. Which was the sensible thing to do really, at least now I know I got some stuff I actually like. I just went to claire's yesterday and bought 4 pairs of earrings and a red glittery headband. Gorgeous stuff! She also let me pick out some hairdyes and paid for the dyes so that was pretty cool too! I now have toner, bright yellow, bright pink, violet and neon blue to try out! Looking forward to it! OH and every birthday I get the most gorgeous bouquet of flowers from my loverboy, for romance and photography! :-D I took some lovely pictures if I can say so myself and I will be posting those pictures on my photography blog so keep your eye out!

NOW IT'S TIME FOR EPIC CHOCOLATE CAKE!

CAKE COME BACK! I love you so! Sniffles! That was the best cake ever. All made with love by me and my love! :-D Now the outfit and me featuring my new ring, earrings and lipstick!

Great lipstick! How awesome is my boyfriend? Oh and here's a picture of my doggie, running/flying;

Superdog! My day was simple, I had good food, lots of cake and tea, lovely conversations with my boyfriend and brother over skype, we made pizza and drank kiddie champagne because I hate the taste of alcohol. The only upside of turning eighteen over here is being able to drink liquor and I freaking hate drinking anything with alcohol so THANKS LAW, why not give something cool to newly turned 18 year olds instead of giving them a license to get drunk? PFOO. I don't care though because I already had the best presents ever! As I already mentioned I also got bright green knockoff doc martens from my sister, a photography book from my youngest brother and I'm hoping to receive a Legend of Zelda shirt from my oldest brother in two weeks or so! So excited for that! Thank you everybody for giving awesome presents, wishing me a happy birthday and being awesome! The day after my birthday was great too, by the way. We made sushi, watched a very short lunar eclipse and I made pictures of the lunar eclipse, sunset and flowers I got from my man. It was lovely and I can't believe I have such a wonderful man in my life.

Print on print on Pink

I used to love Pink. Not the color but the singer. Well actually also the color. But I still love the color and not so much the singer. I haven't been loving the songs she brought out the last couple of years. But back when she was all the rage with 'Don't let me get me', 'Let's get this party started', 'Family portrait' and 'Just like a Pill' I loved her. Pink and No Doubt were of course total girl power. And I really liked her 'I'm not dead' album! I actually went to see her on that tour with my sister and some of her friends and that was my first concert. So she'll always have a special place in my heart! I still really like her voice, it has this raspy quality that can totally pull off softer acoustic stuff but also some fun poprock. Of course, as a multicolor/bright hair lover I always dug her bright pink hair at the beginning of her career.

My outfit is very bright and colorful and I felt so good wearing it. When I think back a year and a half/two years I remember being so inscure about wearing skirts above the knee because of course, apart from the fact that I was already a self conscious teenage girl, the fashion gurus wiggle their little fingers at wearing stuff above the knee unless you have a certain shape or skinny legs or whatever kind of weird ass rules they apply. They have this strange idea that it's empowering for women of all shapes and sizes to be told that they are NOT the same, CANNOT wear the same things because hey, nobody wants to see the cellulite on your thighs and nobody wants to see a short girl on flats. Only show people your best assets! Do not let people know that we're not perfect! To appear skinnier and taller at all times! Even if you're already tall and skinny you still need photoshop! The things that irritate me the most are probably that almost all well known stylists and fashion gurus look exactly the same. Most of the time, long straight hair, wear dark colors, fabrics that look very expensive and a pencilskirt and some stiletto's. When it's a guy, always a suit and short hair. And of course dressy shoes. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone do make-overs and actually have a style of their own? I've seen it so many times: in comes fashionista ready to make someone over, enter the 'victim': maybe a bikerchick, maybe a hippie. At the end of the make over, they all look like 'proper ladies' but not an inch of uniqueness is preserved in their styles. Maybe the hippie woman got some large earrings and the bikerchick got a smart leather jacket. I'm pretty sure that my style would not be tolerated by most of the fashiongurus. Too much color, might look childish! Too much floral, you look like an untrimmed flowergarden! Too many sneakers, oh honey you don't need to look like you can run off and shoot hoops! Midiskirts, SO unflattering for a girl with chunky calves! Shouldn't people dress however they want to dress? Sure, if people ask for help because they seem to be stuck in a rut and can't get out of it themselves, by all means go help! But I almost never hear the 'helpers' ask "What do YOU like?" and than maybe tweak it to make it a little more stylish if that is what pleases him/her. I wish fashion/clothing would just be something to have fun with, no rules and prejudice attached. So here! My colorful, sneakerful style!

I'm loving this bright lipstick, this bright pink really makes me lust after some bright warm orangy color. I love to mix my lipstickcolors together and I'd really like to mix a little orange with my bright red! Warm red colors always look so classy to me. And a little sidenote: I'm hoping that my boy will help me dye my hair again tomorrow! I have some unused turquoise in my cabinet and I'm dying (sniffles) to use it! Hope you guys have a lovely day and see you all on the flip side!
