what goes around comes around


dress - forever 21
sweater - forever 21
tights - we love colors
shoes - aldo

The last time I wore this dress was back in August for my third outfit post. I went back to look at it today after I took these photos, and I was shocked at how much I've changed in the last several months! My style & the way I shoot my photos has evolved, but it's mostly my hair, which has gone from being waist-length, and dark brown to shoulder length bright red, that's the most obvious difference. And honestly, as far as superficial changes go, it's the best decision I ever made. My hair has always annoyed me. I tried dark brown, light brown, blonde, black, you name it. But I never tried red until last year, and it just fits. I really never want to dye it any other color, ever again. I think I should have been born with this color, it just feels so right. :)

sunday funnies



I think this is one of the coolest things ever, and so brilliantly executed!

The Sunday Funnies feature is one of my favorites, but it's my least popular post each week. I think it might be a Sunday thing because I had a feature on my movie blog each Sunday (song of the week) that had an equally pitiful reception. So, a question-- if you blog, do you have this problem too? The posts you like the most are the least read.. the ones you really want feedback on are the ones that get 0 comments. If you have an unsuccessful series, do you keep chugging or do you stop? Ultimately, we blog because we love to. So if we like posting pictures of groundhogs in glasses every Friday, even though nobody else does, we should keep posting those bespectacled animals to our hearts' content, right?

march o'playlist



It's March, and that means St. Patrick's Day is coming up soon! yay! I'm with George Carlin, in that I don't say I'm "proud" to be Irish since I didn't really have any say in the matter.. but I'm definitely very happy to be Irish! I love hearing stories from my mom about my grandfather's Irish family gatherings.. they just seem to really enjoy life... and beer, but that's another matter lol.

What I love most about Irish culture is the music. It's just so beautiful, even (or maybe especially?) when tinged with some punk. The Pogues are one of my very favorite bands, so this playlist is definitely a bit Pogues heavy, but I don't think that's a bad thing ;-D Oh, and I think that Unicorn song is for children, but come on. It's an Irish song about unicorns.. how could I not include it?!
