So you guys may notice a few things here. Beauty school finally got to me, and I have changed up my hair color with the reverse ombre! Red on the top, and my ends are still black. I had honestly missed having red hair so much, I'm glad to have brought it back. Also, I repierced my nose! Seriously in love with having a nose ring again, I'm not sure why I ever took it out.

So, summer has definitely arrived here in central California. Triple digit weather. Blah! I've never dealt well with hot summers, and I've lived here all my life! I've learned how to keep fashionably cool though. These are one of my favorite pairs of shorts, which I DIY'd to death. Bleach, dye, studs. Then this black lace bralette I found at Forever 21. Definitely does the trick. I have also been incredibly stoked with the fact that my grandmother has given me here entire collection of turquoise jewelry. I am obsessed! This turquoise collar and the hand chain are my absolute favorite pieces. Also, please note this beautiful crescent quill necklace by My Salvation I got via Casey's blog. I love this necklace so much that I have literally been wearing it everyday since I got it in the mail! I would highly suggest checking out My Salvation, as all her pieces are beautiful and one of a kind. I'm greatly tempted to buy everything on their online shop. It's love at first sight!

Yesterday one of my closest friends in high school graduated college! Well, this part of college anyhow. She's studying to be a teacher, and starts her credential program this next semester. Anyhow, I knew I had to dress it up a bit for this special celebration, and my first thought piece was this silk skirt that I came across at Goodwill! I hadn't worn it yet, so I figured it would be the perfect time to debut it. I can almost never find skirts that fit me perfectly, so when I found this one that did, I knew I had to pair it with a crop top. I threw on the necklace and the hat seriously last minute, and I really like the feel they added to the look. Funny how throwing something together so last minute can end up so good at times.

Congrats again to Judy for graduating! I know you'll do well, no matter what you choose to do.
