You know the hair dye trend is getting big when supermodels everywhere are sporting pink locks and dip-dyes. One of the biggest trends in hair right now is muted color. Pastels. And because there are so many pastel shades, I’ll be splitting them into several INSPIRATION posts. This one is for baby blue.
Want to know how to get baby blue or seafoam hair? Read my dye recommendations and tips, below!
I’m going to be totally transparent here, the Coachella festival is relatively new to me. Being a Northerner, we have quite a few of our own annual festivals to distract – plus, we don’t get the joy of celebrating the summer sun until a little later in the season.
Last week I kept happening on pictures of trendy youth in barely dressed in their best hippie attire; tassels, ponchos and tambourines. I immediately grew envious of that festival atmosphere; live music, dehydration, flip flops.
Are you feeling inspired by Coachella’s Hippie/Neon/Boho summer fashion? Try to recreate the looks below!
Okay. So the general population has approved and accepted some crazy fashions over the years. Dressing odd isn’t all that uncommon. I mean, you can pop into your local mall and find a kid wearing some crazy outfit. But the weird part - is when completely strange, bulky, loud, and unaesthetic fashions turn into a trend. When someone sees that odd kid, and runs out and buys something similar. And then their friends, and then their friends…
That’s how ridiculous fads are born.
Here are the 5 most Ridiculous Fashion Trends from the past (as judged by me), and how you can adapt them to be wearable today, in the FUTURRRE. Or the present. The future of yester-year.
A NOTE: non of the above fashions can be salvaged. Please don’t wear windbreaker pants, or dress like twinsies. Dressing the same is never okay. Unless you are performing a dance in the talent show. That is all.
When I was a kid, I once went to a 60′s theme birthday party. It was decked out with lava lamps, and pink groovy flower stickers — and as an activity, we all went out in the backyard and made tye dye shirts. I was a bit of a pudgy kid growing up, so the shirt never fit. But I loved it. So it sat unworn in my drawer, quietly coveted. And I’ve never warn a tye dye garment since.
Alright, end of sob story. I think the real reason I never wore any tye dye (apart from that shirt) is because I wasn’t really into it. Bright colors colliding together in seams of mud and brown? Count me out.
But then we started bleaching, dilluting and washing out. Pastels have made me a tye dye fan. And who knows, you may be one too!
In a last-minute rush to find tips, ideas, and inspiration to decorate your place for Halloween? Maybe you’re having a last-minute party, or forgot to make a stop at the pumpkin patch this year. Well, you’ve come to the right place. Not all of us have the creativity, nor the time required for some of the elaborate set-ups I posted in my previous Halloween Decor Inspiration post, so this post is for you.
Here are some quick, and easily re-created decor with minimal cheese factor– with minimal glue-gunning required.
Halloween is fast approaching, but I seem to be the only house on my street with pumpkins and ghosts decorating the lawn. When I was a kid, I remember visiting almost all of the houses on the street, all of them decorated with at least a lit pumpkin, or a colored porch light. Walking home from school I used to get so giddy seeing the pumpkins appearing on doorsteps, cobwebs appearing around garages. Its seeing these decorations that probably sparked my need to parade around the house, up and down the hallways in whatever unfortunate costume I had decided to don that year. (Fun fact: As a wee one, I had a kangaroo costume that I absolutely loved and refused to give up. There are pictures of me scrunched into it one Halloween, and it clearly being a costume for a small toddler– barely came to my ankles and wrists. I still remember carrying the removable joey around the house, and my mother tying the floppy-eared hat too tightly under my chin.)
But enough fond childhood memories. The point is, either people don’t have the Halloween spirit like they used to, or y’all are getting lazy. And with this post, I hope to change that. So put on your paint-pants, grab your cobwebs, and let’s spook the house!
A lot of rebels have gone down in history. Many of the notables are men, like James Dean for instance. But there are a few classy ladies who have gone down in history for taking a stand against the norms of their time. Sure, they probably did it with full hosiery and a skirt on, but I’m sure if a leather jacket had of been available…
Now-adays, the term rebel is reserved for that bad-boy you dated in high school, or those kids that hang out at the gas station with Mohawks defying gravity via a hairdryer and some glue.
I say we make something of the word.
It’s time to rebel.

The more time I spend on Tumblr, I find the more my traditional fashion sense (which is very little, I’m a tshirt and high-waisted jean short kind of girl) seems to warp into a free-love, wear what makes you feel rad, kind of person.
And there is a lot of free-flowing long hair, a lot of studded jean jackets, spray paint, crop tops, and spikes. Lord are there spikes.
And I think that’s just nifty.
So here you are, a few photos to get your hardcore fashion flowing…
It’s May, and that means one thing to seniors. Prom. Or so televised teenagers, written by un-relating middle-aged adults, would like you to think.
To be honest — the people that care about prom, are on the committee. And that’s what, about 5?
I went to prom. I can’t honestly tell you what the theme was, or what we ate, but I can tell you that the after party was in a closed bowling alley and someone over-pumped the keg. And isn’t that the true meaning of prom — the day your parents finally accept your underage binge drinking?
But, whether we admit we care about prom or not, teenagers [read; their parents], spend millions of dollars just to look special for that one day. And I get it. If barbie taught us anything growing up it’s that us girls should love putting on dresses and lookin’ pretty for Ken.
And so we go to prom. And we will continue to go to prom, just like our mothers did, and our grandmothers did .. and hey — did you see what they wore to prom back then? /segue/
Here’s The History of The Prom Dress, through vintage dress patterns..
You may have heard of Ke$ha. Whether it’s getting flak for showing up to the Grammy’s in a garbage bag, or sporting pyramid stud eyebrows, Ke$ha knows how to draw attention. She blew up with her first single, Tik Tok — which was played and remixed to death by local clubs and radio stations, to the point where the world wondered, ‘Is anyone actually a fan of Ke$ha?’
When she's not busy blogging, Kimmi can be found at local concerts, dyeing her hair, making a crafty disaster on the floor of her apartment, or burning things in her oven.
She's also a trained and certified Make-Up Artist serving the Toronto Area.
See her on Tumblr, fan her on Facebook, follow her on Twitter, and find her on Instagram.
