I am obsessed! Post Rihanna-fire-engine-red-hair, women have fallen HARD for ridiculously colored tresses. And up until now I have been very take-it-or-leave-it about it. Ombre hair wasn't even on my radar, I only caught onto colored tips because of Lauren Conrad's peach tips (still think that was novel) and I was never into a whole head dyed crazy colors because it was such a tricky look to pull off and 85% of those who tried failed. Unbeknownst to them, of course. However, I came across Stephanie Bettinger's photo on Instagram when she tried out multicolored streaks and I was instantly sucked in!
Look at her! Her hair is FIRE. Complete and utter FIRE! I can't get enough. These women with 3 or more colored streaks are making me so jealous.
Katy Perry rocked it! LC [supposedly] rocked it! These other random girls rocked it!
I want to rock it too! I honestly think it is a combination of my genuinely liking the controlled wildness and the result of my recently reading J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series and the character Phury who has, you guessed it, multicolored hair. My life is always being influenced by the fictional literature I read. Nevertheless, I am 100% going to have to ask my work how bad it is if I add pink, grey & blue/purple streaks to my hair. I know I am not 16, save for at heart, but this as a summertime hairstyle is SO appealing. I have months to make this happen. We will see. Salud!
I wanted to share, very much akin to Friday Favorites, what is rocking my socks this week. I really should have done this earlier when I had all these things on my mind. I'll try to pull it together.
1. Lauren Conrad, of course! Quite frankly, I seem obsessed at this point. I follower her on twitter and she linked to her hair of which she dyed her tips peach. PEACH! Not yellow, not orange, not pink, PEACH! I just thought it was such a novel move because it almost blends with her blond hair. It caught me off-guard in a good way.

3. Selena Gomez! She tweeted this video and it had me rolling! The gangster version, I thought, was risque. Not in the I'm-up-in-arms-about-it risque, but the I've-never-seen-this-side-of-Selena-and-I-don't-know-if-I'm-ready-for-it risque. Nevertheless, I love her and this video and I'm happy she's hosting the EMAs. (EUROPEAN MUSIC AWARDS! I just figured out what that stood for.) "Seriously, shut your face!" http://tv.mtvema.com/video/ema2011-promos
4. Let's talk music. Generally anyone can tell you that this girl, not a fan of Beyonce. But she got preggers, and I always find pregnant celebrities INFINITELY more fascinating than non-preggers celebs. That, apparently, is why I am LOVIN' her song Countdown. I have listened to it SO many times today that I assumed I would like the whole album and downloaded the whole thing. I then had to go delete everything but Countdown because I, in fact, still dislike her music. Ridiculous. I know.
Also, check out this new song, Wetsuit, from The Vaccines. It's another sole song that I'm loving today.
Well I did it, mijos. I remembered everything that I should have. I wonder if I'll have a stockpile of things I'm loving next week. We'll see. Salud!
They're the new Hiker Boots from the LC Lauren Conrad collection at Kohl's. I'm SUPER excited. They're crazy cute on. They make me look like I'm going to do something sexy and rugged at the same time...like a bikini photo shoot while you're in the desert. A completely ridiculous situation, but you know me. Love it!
Speaking of me and loving things, I am all over Lauren Conrad's ENTIRE collection. I bought her motorcycle jacket last spring, I bought her ruched sleeve, open front blazer in black a month ago. She is just on top of making pieces that a girl can work around. Really love where she's taking me right now...even though she is simultaneously hitting my pocketbook pretty hard. :D I'll survive.
I also love these tops she created. It has the shape of a top that I find to be reminiscent of the 1950s. Check it:
So, I'm a pretty solid fan of Lauren Conrad and she talked about her fall nail pics at thebeautydepartment.com. I, thereby, thought it would be prudent to share. I recently purchased a set of mini-polishes from Opi (Roadies) and I think they're going to be the basis for my fall nails. I'll blog about that later because I'm IN LOVE with these four colors. Until then, definitely check out the link below. Because if LC says that's what's up...THAT'S WHAT'S UP! Also, if you too love LC (did you know only her fans call her that? Lol. I'm lame.) you'll find it worthwhile to check her personal website. It's legit, much like the creator.
