UNIF Salem Review

These shoes are the step sisters of the Hellbound and they certainly are in every way. It takes the model of the hellbound with a few changes but yet an entirely different shoe. It works out for me because I was tempted by buy the Hellbounds in black and now they came out with Salem so everything is all good in the world. The zippers are different on each shoe, I dislike that the Salem has the zipper in the backside versus the side. It irritates my skin and I can't fit socks with it so I'm pretty much screwed. Probably tights would work but it might rip a hole, so I probably won't wear them together. Ugh the dilemma. UNLESS, I loosen the laces to fit the socks. Anyway, I'm sorry if my post doesn't make sense. I've been a bit delirious these last few days. Lack of sleep and school is just kicking my ass. Point is, the shoes are very similar but very different. I feel I have less control in the Salems, when I can walk like it's no one's business in the hellbounds. I can't figure out if it's the height of the shoes or the structure of it. Let me know what you think.

Let it go, and I'll rise like the break of dawn.

Lisa P.'s back!

Get your 80s groove back baby
with leather and high waisted jeans
the trend is back
only a little tighter
and a little skinnier
ride all the rides
and play all the games
life's too short to not to
but don't forget to get off the carousel sometimes
you might miss the view

I'M FEATURED ON FOREVER 21 INSTAGRAM PAGE!

I thought I'd share with you all the exciting news. Over the weekend I was featured on Forever 21's instagram page. It was totally exciting because I randomly had a spam of likers and followers and I couldn't figure out why until somehow I found it was because they featured me on their page. Super stoked about it still and I can't even over the overwhelming reception of my look. I love the shots from that day and as you saw on my previous post it was entirely colorful. Thank you all who liked my photos and followed me.

SHOW ME YOUR #GIRLPOWER



On YouTube, the major hype is the Girl Power tag. I absolutely love this tag and I love everything it stands for. So I incorporated one of my favorite looks that I thought symbolized girl power, and nothing says Girl Power like Leather and six inch heels. Watch my video above!

She's young now,

she's wild now,
she wants to be free.
She's hiding behind those shades
so she can sneak into the pub at night
but if you check the local dive
she's no where to be found.

You won't find love if you know where the city is.

I have found the city,
it's merely waking.
It's lonely and heartless.
Been hustling all these years,
and I all I feel
are these lights blinking back at me.

Color Jamz Bubble Head Pink Review

Yes, I'm back to pink again and this time around I tried a different dye. I will make it to baby pink eventually, and we will do another round of colors. I have it all planned out in my head how it'll work. At least I think it will. This dye smells funny. Like Play-doh possibly but it definitely had an unpleasant odor to it that I didn't particularly care for. Smell wise, I'd go with Ion Color Brilliance. The color is much brighter than the Ion in terms of being more pink. Ion I'd say has more of a shine to it whereas the Color Jamz is straight color. I'm still having issues with the splotchiness though. Like it'd go on evenly but as I wash it, the strands have spots of white hair in it. So that's a bit frustrating. I do like the color though. For this round of dye, I mixed 50/50 dye to conditions with drop of blue in it. To put into perspective, my hair is now a little bit longer than shoulder length and I used 1 and 1/2 bottles of the Color Jamz. So if you're hair is past your bra you probably need 3 bottles if you're going to add conditioner. No conditioner, I'd recommend 4-5 bottles. I DO LOVE THE PACKAGING OF THE COLOR JAMZ! The stupid Ion Color Brilliance is in tubes that's really hard to squeeze out whereas the Color is in a plastic bottle so it's way easier to get all the dye out. So fan of that. I'm still using both of the Ion Color Brilliance before and after treatment. Let me know if you know of a better pre and after treatment for colored hair. I'm definitely washing my body and hair separately to maintain the color. Maybe this time my hair will stay pink longer. We will see. To see my hair check out my last post.

Hope you're well.

Returning home to the sea

I told you she was a mermaid.
She's human by day.
and mermaid by twilight.
when she returns
her hair might change again.

Valentine's Day Ideas 2014!

It's that time of year again! I'm not too big on getting ready for Valentine's day or making it a big deal but since I started a post last year, it seems only suitable to have one for this year.


Last year, I used pink and grey's, so I wanted something more bold.

This year I'm going for that more sweatheart look that's more daring (hence the red and black shoes).

The white rabbit wasn't here.

As she grows older
she still grows fonder
of the white dreams
that are brightly agleam
she's still chasing that white rabbit
