(prepare yourself for Born This Way lyric titles for a verrrry long time, k)
I know summer is the time when most of us fashion bloggers try to lay off the black and try to incorporate some c o l o u r into our wardrobes, but to be honest I have no intention of giving up my black ensembles for hot weather. Lately I noticed I've been wearing a lot of all black outfits which are ultra simple, and just having fun with my hair and nails.
Don't I look like I'm having fun?
Example: a week and a half ago came the return of the claw nails! I found some ultra long glue-on nails from the drugstore and filed them into shape. For the first day I just wore them as is:
Then I did a half moon design with white and this amazing seafoam green. Then used a glitter nail art brush around the half moon, and later added a few gems and pearls on just my ring finger and pinkie... just for fun. I was hugely impressed with how long these nails stayed on actually, it was a whole week before one came off!
I call them my mermaid nails ^o^, I'm kind of fascinated with mermaids atm (anyone seen Pirates 4? Wondering if it's worth the suffering just to see my gorgeous Gemma Ward as a mermaid...).
Next I had a little fun with my hair... make that A LOT of fun. That's right dudes, I went for the beehive.
This massive bouffant is courtesy of my good friend Ms. Hilton. I found these jank-ass Paris Hilton hairpieces on sale for $5 at Sally's Beauty Supply, and knew they'd be perfect to use for the beehive I'd been dreaming of. Hair DIY, wut wut!!
It's supposed to be be like a headband with hair attached, so it's like a half wig with combs underneath that help it stay put on your head. I backcombed some of the hairpiece before I used it, just to get that extra massive pouf (oh yes!). All I did was section of the front of my hair, backcomb it a little, place the hairpiece along the part, then pull the front section of hair over the hairpieces and pin it in place at the nape of the neck. Basically like this youtube video.
I actually like how you can see the blonde underneath, although really that's just because I was pinning my hair back blindly. And there you have it!

I love your hair!! Ive always loved it, but it looks A+ here! I absolutely adore the creepers and definitely agree with you on the whole 'giving up certain colors due to changes of the seasons' idgaf nigga I will wear my blacks when I want to, my whites, my pinks, and my greys!!
I. Want. Those. Shoes. (the stripper boots). Haha I have a thing for insanely high heels/platforms. Not the most practical to wear out, but I love them. Where did you get those? And I'm loving the hair too!

those nails are fierce!! and i agree with wearing black, i try to stay away from it but i just cant resist!
has anyone ever told you you look like gaga.... or she looks like you? you have similar facial features :) oxoxoxox
Oh my... that is some badass hair. I can never get my hair to an appropriate level of beehiveness- I think my layers prevent me somewhat. I really like the way the blonde peeks through.
your beehive looks absolutely amazing!
The bee hive turned out great! And I love your nails!
