I’ve always been a big fan of purple as well. I’m glad to see it gain popularity in the fashion world so I don’t feel so conspicuous when I wear it.

Ohh, if you ever want to talk extensions hit me up on AIM KPrinez05!!! I can talk hair all day and night! My one piece of advice is invest in quality hair (remy Indian extensions). If you buy crap you’ll end up with a tangled matted birds next on your head! I’m about to go on my 3rd install with the hair I ordered in Sept., it gets better with every wash….. I finally found a good weavologist in, CT she charges $150, which isn’t bad, and she really knows her stuff and how to handle remy hair. I was seeing a girl named “Chocolate” in the projects (yeah her name was actually “Chocolate”. She charges $30 but doesn’t know jack about remy hair & sitting in her apt. is a trip, I actually met a real life hooker! There’s a really great discussion board on Black Hair Media, there’s soo much info on there here’s the link to the weaves/extensions board: http://forum.blackhairmedia.com/forum_topics.asp?FID=22
I’m getting chatty.

[...] Style Resolution updates: Prints? Fail. Change my purse more often? Fail (still carrying the same one I’ve been carrying since last November). Be more high maintenance? Fail. [...]

I don’t think I’ve had my natural hair color since I was like 13 so I don’t have any pictures… that I’d wanna post up. Maybe if I find one…

I have two sets of 7-piece clip-on extensions already but I’m thinking of getting Great Lengths done. I’m stuck in a rut though because I’m scared of it thinning out my hair and I’m still looking for a reliable stylist to do them for me that doesn’t charge crazy expensive prices.

I definitely know I won’t get them braided in though because you can’t wash them properly and I know I wouldn’t be able to stand that! :S

Thanks Pam! Yeah long hair can be soo annoying (I always get annoyed when I have my clip-on extensions on) but it looks hella sexy especially with big waves.

Thank god I’m not a shoe person because shoes are soo expensive! And I don’t buy heels because my boyfriend is the same height as me which saves me a lot of money. Hehe.

I’m one of those people who would’ve thought that you’re always done up and stuff too so I’m surprised to hear you aren’t! It’s all good though because that means you always look high maintenance even when you aren’t which is a good thing.

And I’m sure with the snow storm, no one is going to notice what you’re wearing because everyone is too busy getting into accidents and getting their cars stuck into the snow anyway.

Your welcome! Don’t get intimidated with the tiny letters… they’re so good that you’ll wish they were smaller so the book is longer and it’ll go on and on (I hate it when my favorite books end because I want to know what else happens). Which Anne Rice books did you get? You HAVE to read The Lives of the Mayfair Witches.

Thanks for the comments.

Black is too harsh… natural black hair is nice but black dyes are really unnatural and a pain in the ass if you ever want to go lighter again. Your dark caramel color sounds good though!

By: Katy

Katy — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 00:23:31 +0000

I say go for chocolate brown! I actually like ash brown but I find that ashy dyes fade reallyy fast.

You’ll be able to pull off gold.. I think gold looks good with Asian skin tones.

Yeah I know what you mean, I put on a dark brown wig once just to see how I’ll look (after being blond for so long) and I totally freaked out and took it off! But dark hair does look a lot more healthy and shiny.. my hair looks like shit because it’s so dry and frizzy.

I love designer jeans because the material is so much better than cheap jeans and they are sooo comfy (eg. I call SFAM jeans “sweatpant jeans”). It’s ok though, jeans are the only thing I splurge on… you don’t see me spending hundreds and thousands of dollars on purses or shoes!

Plum and mimosa for 2009, FTW!

Also: can you post a pic of you with your natural hair color? I WANNA SEE!

I just asked him and he said that it could mean a million but his name actually means something else because the accents or whatever is in a different place?

I’ve had light color for so long that I think I look really bad with dark colors too. I think going from that jump is a DRAMATIC difference and can be a huge shocker but you’ll get use to it. I threw on a dark brown wig at a hair store once to see how I’ll look with the color and I was a little scared to dye my hair that dark because I wasn’t use to it at all.

If you take a good look at some blonds’ faces (eg. like the ones you see on MTV), they’re sooo fugly but they only look hot because of the blond hair.

By: Katy

Katy — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:31:54 +0000

Yeah that will be wayy too much. I think maybe a nice printed top with a pair of jeans or leggings is good but never the whole outfit.

By: Katy

Katy — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:31:20 +0000

Maybe the blond highlights are making you feel washed out.. you should dry a dark brown with maybe copper highlights or something that’s not as light as blond. It’ll look hot and give your hair dimension.

Dark purple is the best! I don’t actually own anything that’s a lighter shade of purple.

By: Katy

Katy — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:29:32 +0000

Thanks woman! I’m sooo not high maintenance it’s not even funny.. I already failed that one because I grubbed out twice to work this week and didn’t even bother to wear make up (or fill in my brows) on Friday.

I am having Cali [food] withdrawal! My boyfriend and I are gonna hunt down a good mexican restaurant and make them make us carne asada fries!! Mwahaha.

It’s not too bad in Canada.. I’m use to it by now and I actually enjoy the rain.

Oh I forgot to say that you don’t really need a lot of money to follow trends… you can also check out thrift stores or stores like Ross (I personally love Ross when I go down to the states) … or start your own trends!

I’m so bad with keeping up with my roots that I should just stop dying my hair altogether.. roots look hideous and I’m SOO guilty of it.

By: Katy

Katy — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:15:19 +0000

I know what you mean… I was so grubbed out once and we went walked by a highend retailer and walked in and I felt soo out of place as if all the employers there were staring at me. Never again!

By: Katy

Katy — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:07:45 +0000

Yeah I want to wear more prints in my everyday outfits.. I sometimes wear prints when I go out at night but never during the day.

By: Katy

Katy — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 22:56:25 +0000

I only got into purple clothes after getting obsessed with purple eye shadow. =P

I’m not a huge fan of make up on my face but I always carry some press powder with me just in case and bronzer. I’m a huge fan of eye make up though so I try to wear some eye shadow everyday because I love having color on my lids.

I don’t throw away make up too *shhh* but I don’t really use it either.. I just let it sit there. It’s so bad!

Katy — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 22:54:25 +0000

Thanks for the thrifting tips J, that will totally help. I agree, thrifting for accessories and smaller pieces make a lot more sense than an entire outlet.

I’ve use to wear Seduction jeans a lot when I was younger before I moved onto RRs and TRs so I haven’t tried jeans from any cheap retailers for along time but I’ll definitely look into F21. I just liked the designer ones better because the material seems thicker and more sturdy (although that doesn’t mean they won’t rip like some Rock and Republic washes).

I agree, most people I know who got perms turned out looking pretty bad too so I don’t know what I was thinking wanting to get one… and with my low maintenance personality, it would be a total pain in the ass even though I resolve to try change that. Wavy hair looks hot though when it’s tamed!

Oh man, I gotta admit you’ve inspired me with the whole gold thing. I really like it lately TOO. I must try buying something purple and see how it works out LOL.

Yeah I know what you mean about being inconsistent with your look. You sound exactly like moi!

Girl, you don’t have to wait to grow out your hair. Invest in some good extensions preferably remy. If you got a full head instead of clip-ins your hair will grow like crazy while your hair is in extensions….
