Fall Hair

Right around the corner is my favorite time of the year: FALL!
With the cool air arriving, less bugs floating through the air, and most importantly less tourists at the beach, there is one thing that I'm just a little more excited about than those three things: hair styles.
Although, I often don't bother to style my hair, when I get a new cut or color I find time to do so. Or new hair accessories, which I might mention are totally in this season.
I have a confession to make and it may pose a problem for my blog name, but I'm going darker. Ombre to be exact. Although, I will be rocking darker locks, with the Ombre look there is still a little blonde depending on the look chosen. Plus, I still think like a blonde *wink*. So besides accessories and the Ombre look what else is the trend for Fall hair? Blunt bangs. I have decided to grow my bangs out, so I will not be trying this look, but depending on the shape of your face they can be super cute. 

Here is the trend I'm going for tomorrow! Appointment is at 8am and it's going to take about three hours to reach my desired look, but hopefully it's all worth it!

Next up on the list of trends is hair accessories, which I LOVE! Especially since my hair has a few different lengths, so when I want an updo all I need are a few cute clips.



I adore the color bobby pins and placed together. So cute!

SC Storms

Yesterday was quite the Wednesday. CG and I joined friends on a boat ride for a birthday celebration. We knew that there were storms brewing in the distance, but still went out anyway. The cooler was loaded with beer and vodka (for bloody mary's), food was waiting, and towels dry as can be. Unfortunately, everything was about to get soaked, including the people aboard. As soon as we moved away from the dock, it started pouring, naturally. We huddled under the cover to stay dry, but it didn't matter. We ended up sitting in a puddle of water. After about 5 minutes the rain stopped and it became sunny. We all air dried while enjoying some music and Corona's. Searching for gators, but couldn't find any. Searched for a beach that was supposedly around the corner, couldn't find that either. We decided to head back because of the amount of thunder and lightning headed our way... we still got stuck in the down pour. It didn't stop until we reached the dock. About 45 minutes of torrential rain soaked us all and everything in the boat. Although, we stayed wet pretty much the entire time, it was still a great time with friends! Chris and I enjoyed the boat! We'll definitely do it again when our parents come for a visit.

Warning signs of a storm... 

boat time!

Loves.

Wordless Wednesday

I know I said "wordless", but before I show you the goods I wanted to warn you. I downloaded this amazing app for my iPhone yesterday. It adds FUN to my pictures. I went a little overboard, but as you're about to see, it was well worth it.

Happy Wednesday!

Aloha.

Canvas.

Gators. Is it just me or does that look like a shark tooth at the bottom of the picture? Shark Week in full effect.

Oh, CG. You make my world go 'round.

Our new favorite pass time... tubing!

This picture was taken during the day, but this new app has the ability to make it night!

Peaceful.

Talent/Style Envy: Lauren Conrad



Remember her? She was the star of MTV's Laguna Beach, and then made her way to L.A. while filming The Hills. While Lauren was on LB I didn't envy her style much because it was just "beach town" gal, but when Lauren was on The Hills and now, she's revamped her style and it's to die for. Over the years LC has made a name for herself in the fashion world. She has "LC by Lauren Conrad" sold at Kohl's and a fabulous website dedicated to her fashion line and DIY projects. I am constantly touring her website for ideas. The newest project that Lauren has been working on is "Crafty Creations". She creates videos for simple, but amazing DIY fun. Lauren has also conquered the writing world. Having numerous best sellers and writing more! This girl never slows down.

Check out a few of my favorite pieces from her new Fall line:






Aren't they adorable?

Busy Bee!

Happy Friday to all! I can't believe I've been away from the blogging world for over three weeks! I've missed it! I've been super busy with school work, visiting home and friends, and trying to convince CG that we need a puppy! I'm maintaining an "A" in my first online class and I'm loving it all. I went home to visit my momma last week and it was so good to see her and other members of my family. When I was in Florida I also got to visit my girl friends. It's hard being away from them! I miss them so much! I was able to go to Gainesville and Orlando. It was a short trip, with lots of driving, but well worth it. When it comes to the puppy, I think I've finally convinced CG that it's time to add another member to our family (no babies, yet!). He's been working like crazy (it's preseason time), so it's hard to go pick a puppy out, but soon! Other than all of that, I've just been trying to stay focused on everything that I need to accomplish daily. I'm definitely ready to go back to work. I love being busy. I need to be busy!

Here are some pictures from my trip! 

My favorite girls in Orlando! Ignore the devil eyes, stupid iPhone.

Out with Steph & Fio!

Nance & Tiffy. Gainesville trip!

....and then I come home to SC and realize how lucky I am.






I promise to not stay away for so long! Have a great Friday!
