21 Presents :)

So I finally got my birthday presents from my mom in the mail about a week ago and I love every one of them!  They were almost too pretty to open though.  And my mom numbered all of them and put cute little notes on them for me.  It was pretty adorable! :) I took some pictures :)

But I got 2 cardigan sweaters, 2 shirts, a dress, 2 hats, a pair of gloves, an organizer insert for my purse, purple eyeliner, a necklace with matching earrings, a bracelet, a scrapbooking kit, a pair of tennis shoes, and a purse which I accidentally broke withing hours of getting it :/.

How to Make a "Lainey" :)

So for my 21st birthday, we went out to Old Bag of Nails and I asked for something purple or pink.  This is what I was given.  Our waiter, Luke, didn't have a name for it, so we decided to call it a "Lainey" :)  It's one fourth vodka, one fourth cranberry juice, one fourth peach schnapps, and one fourth sprite.  It kind of tastes like a blowpop dipped in alcohol.  It's very sweet and fruity with a pike to it :)  

My Hair is Black!

I didn't think it would be a big deal, but my hair turned out a lot darker than I thought it would.  It's growing on me though.  It's kind of a big change.  It's hard to get used to.  I also have found that I have to experiment more with my wardrobe and makeup now that my hair's such a different color.  I used to wear a lot of dark boring colors since my hair was so bright and colorful, but now, I feel like I just look depressing when I wear black or brown or dark blue.  And I usually just wear black and gold makeup, but I feel I need more colors on my face now since my hair is so dark already.  So I have been looking through my clothes and found that I really like reds, purples, greens, yellows, and pinks with my new hair color.  And as far as makeup, metallic eyeliners look pretty cool and I like pinks a lot (blush, lip gloss, eyeshadow, etc.).  I am still in the process of experimentation though, so I might find things I like more.  I have read online that bronzers and dewy foundations look really good with dark complexions and dark hair, so i might invest in some of that.  We will see.  I do miss my red hair a lot though, so I don't know how much I should invest in my new hair color since I have no idea how long I will keep it haha.  It's fun for now though :)

My Halloween Costumes!

So I ended up wearing 3 different costumes this year.  All of which I already had in my closet :)  The first costume I decided on was a "Hipster Pirate" which I wore for our school's "Safe Trick or Treat" Event for kid's from the neighborhood. 

Then, I went to OSU's High Ball that Friday night before Halloween and I went as a school girl :)







And on Halloween, I just went to my friend's house to pass out candy and went as a hipster cowgirl by wearing a button-up flannel, pigtails, a mini skirt, boots, leggings, and plastic glasses frames and a little purple scarf.  Sadly, I didn't think to take a picture, so you will have to use your imagination for the most part.  It is very similar to what I wore to the Miley Cyrus concert 2 years ago though which I do have pictures of!  I wore a white skirt, grey boots, and no cowboy hat though.
