New Color & OOTD

GOODBYE disgusting faded reddish orangish color and HELLO lavishing purple. I did not plan on dying my hair dark again but there were several complications that led me to dye it anyway. These pictures do not do any justice because you cannot see the actual color. In person and in daylight it is a deep plum color. I normally use Manic Panic dye but this time I used Twilight by Flare. I love this new color, it compliments my face more.

This is yesterday's OOTD and it is my most favorite outfit so far! The shirt I have on is a body suit that I purchased at the beginning of the school year from H&M. I planned on wearing a black skater skirt with this shirt at first but it was pretty chilly out so I wore these acid wash high waisted jeans instead. These are one of my favorite pair of high waisted jeans, I purchased these from River Island. I have on some high knee bow socks from Charlotte Rosse and my black boots/heels from H&M. I felt as if the addition of the bow socks made it more 90's style yet 50's at the same time.

A Night To Remember

Towson Nights

         Friday night was definitely one of the best nights I've EVER had in Maryland. This night I really felt like myself and actually had a great time. My guard was down and all. My friends witnessed the real Kyra! That whole day I did not do anything besides clean the house and work on my routine for a talent hunt. I usually get dressed at my house but I got dressed at my friend Cierra's this time. I tried to rush to get dressed because I normally take hours lol I did not want to be the last one done. 

    This was my first time wearing makeup this whole week. I have been avoiding wearing any product besides eyeliner because I broke out badly on my forehead :( With every outfit I wore that week I added a funky headband to cover the acne. 

               I was feeling my outfit that night! I had on my favorite shirt from F21. I purchased this at the beginning of the school year when they had the back to school sale. Because it had been snowing so much lately, I was afraid that I was going to freeze to death wearing this shirt but thank god I did not. The jeans I have on from H&M. They are regular jean material at the top but have a leather material attached at the bottom. I also purchased those during the back to school sale. And of course I have on my favorite boot/heels from H&M.

          The earrings and necklace I had on are both from Charlotte Russe. This bracelet I have on is my mother's (I always take her jewelry). I'm not sure where she purchased this from but I adore this bracelet. It gave my outfit PIZAZZ!

There was some other girls in the bathroom taking "off guard pictures" but my friend Taylor and I :)

           Once we arrived back in Riverside, we stopped at the Waffle House to get something to eat. My friend Pam works there and she always decorates the waffles nice with whip cream! I was craving her waffles but unfortunately she was not working at this hour :(

      I asked my waitress could she add whip cream thinking she would decorate it like Pam but she did not. I was some what disappointed but the waffles were still delicious so I guess that's all that matters.

Birthday Dinner

 Saturday night I went out to my friend's birthday dinner at Lin's Hibachi. We were supposed to go last week but the snow ruined that! I was so excited to finally get out for once during this cold winter. The last time I went to a restaurant similar to Lin's was when I went to Benihana's in Hawaii. I feel like Lin's food tasted just like Benihana's, maybe they all use the same ingredients because I didn't notice any difference in either one. It's so exciting seeing the chefs do tricks with their knives! Even though I always have a fear in my mind that they'll accidentally drop one and it'll cut someone at the table. 

I promise I was so glad when my food was done. I was literally staring at the chef season the shrimp and steak. I was a human timer, just counting down the seconds until I could put some food in my mouth! I had not eaten anything that whole day besides some doughnuts :( I was the only one on my side of the table to finish all of my food lol I couldn't help it I was starving all day. The steak and fried rice were to die for!

My friend wanted us to get dressed up so I kept my outfit rather simple. I wore one of those long shirts with the slits on the side with black leather leggings. Since I was wearing all black I wanted to add some pizazz! That's why I added the beaded/jeweled headband with some earrings I purchased from Express a few years ago.

For makeup I did my usual routine: eyebrows, foundation and eyeliner. I used this pinkish color for my lip that I stole from my mother lol she'll never notice that it's gone.

I really need my hair shaped up and colored again! You can't tell in this picture but my hair is three different colors right now. It's red, orange and black :( Since I don't have work this Tuesday I'm going to make sure I stop by the barber shop. I'm tired of this red color and I'm sure what color I'll do next but I need something different. Everyone and their mother's have red hair.

These are the heels I wore that night. I've only worn these twice and I see why I don't wear they often. They had my feet crying rivers! I couldn't wait to get home and take these off. I love the spikes on them but my oh my these were a killer.

Here's just a few of the girls from the other night. The birthday girl is the one in the middle <3. I really enjoyed myself that night and I'm glad that I came out for her. Thanks for the invite Ebony :)!
