OOTD ~ Super Bowl Outfit

If you live in the United States, you have to watch the Super Bowl even if you are only watching for the halftime show or the commercials.  I actually enjoy watching the game.  Football is my favorite sport even though I don't have a favorite team anymore.  I will watch pretty much every game that is on TV no matter who is playing.  My in-laws had a party for the big game and this is what I wore.     

Outfit Details:

Short Black Bob Wig ~ eBay (Seller: Davis-ge)

Red Moto Jacket ~ Charlotte Russe

NFL Graphic Tee ~ Alloy

Bleached Destructed Skinny Jeans (Machine Jeans) ~ Alloy

Airwalk Sneakers (diy glitter Stripes, see this post) ~ Payless

Lipstick ~ Cover Girl Outlast Lipcolor in Ever Red-dy 507

Did you watch the game?  What was your favorite part?  I thought it was the worst super bowl ever.  I liked Bruno Mars' performance and only a couple of commercials.  All and all, kind of disappointing.

My Life Lately {In Pictures}

I'm not on Instagram, but I do like the idea of documenting my life through iPhone and iPad pictures.  Every Sunday, I will post some of what has been going on in my life for that week via my pictures.

You'll see a lot of pictures of our dogs on my life lately posts.  We love our dogs.  They are like our kids.  This is typical for me; 2 of my dogs on my lap.  Pokey and Bubby.

With Valentine's Day around the corner, love is in the air and in my living room.  This is my marquee sign that I made a few months ago.

A couple weeks ago, we had a snow storm and this is what it looked like outside of my window.

My two favorite boys.  My husband and my little Geno man cuddling in bed.  That is another dog under the blanket with her butt sticking out.  It makes Geno look really long.  

Like most of the country, we had bitter cold weather again.  Spring where are you?

Geno again.  He rarely ever sleeps in this bed that is on our couch.  Doesn't he look super comfortable in there?

My new lace pantyhose that I got in the mail from eBay.

I'm off to watch the Super Bowl.  My prediction is that the Denver Broncos will win 27-21.  Peyton Manning deserves another Super Bowl ring.  

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for reading!

My New Obsession and an eBay Wig Review

I have been dying my hair since I was 14 and have had every color imaginable.  I get bored with my hair really quickly.  That is not a good thing for my hair.  Over the years, my hair has become really damaged due to the constant bleaching and dying.  So I decided to go back to my trademark black hair.  It isn't my natural color, which is dark brown, but it is close.  Black hair suits me better because I have black eyebrows.

After a few months with black hair again, the thoughts of changing it starts to brew.  I miss my red hair, but it was so hard to maintain the color.  I want to be a blonde like my idols Gwen Stefani and Marilyn Monroe.  Then, one day my brilliant husband says to me "why don't you buy a wig".  This isn't the first time I thought about buying a wig.  For years I've wanted to try them, but always assumed they were to expensive.  

In November, I decided I am going to look for a wig.  I started researching it and discovered that there are synthetic wigs that look really realistic and are quite affordable.  I was nervous about buying one without knowing anything about wigs.  I spent days watching reviews on YouTube and reading reviews on blogs.  Finally, I decided to take the plunge and bought my first wig from Arda Wigs.  I got it and wore it and became instantly hooked on them.  Since buying that first wig, I have bought a total of 11 wigs.  Yes, you read that right.  I am completely obsessed with wigs.  

I can't believe I was missing out all this time.  My poor hair had to suffer for so long.  Now, I can wake up and be a blonde or a brunette.  I can even have my favorite bright red hair again without the maintenance.  I can have short hair whenever I want without having to wait several months for it to grow back.

Today, I am going to review 2 of the wigs that I bought on eBay from the eBay seller Wig Fashion.  

Buying wigs on eBay is a daunting task.  There are literally thousands of wigs listed there.  Most of them are crap Halloween wigs. Weeding through those crap wigs is time consuming and you have to know what to look for.  I took a gamble on  Wig Fashion because this was the first time buying wigs on eBay.  Luckily, I loved the wigs.

Both of the wigs that I purchased are no longer available.  I didn't have the foresight to take pictures of the listings because I had no idea I would want to do a review on my blog.  

Here is what I bought:

65 CM Long Wavy Mixed Dark Blue Fashion Stylish Hair Wig  $18.00

43 cm Heat Resistant Medium Straight Red Fashion Wig With Bangs $24.20

(Both photos were taken with natural light.  The red wig was taken indoors in a room with windows in front of me and to the left and right with lots of natural light coming through.  No flash was used for either photo).

Onto the review.

Both wigs are high quality.  They don't lose hairs and hardly tangle at all.  A quick brush and they look exactly like the day I bought them.  The fibers are soft and look like real hair because of the color variations.  In certain light, the wigs do look a tiny bit shiny, but in natural light I don't think it looks unrealistically shiny.  

I wore both wigs out and about.  The blue wig, I wore grocery shopping and someone actually yelled out to me that they loved my F***ing hair.  A strange way to compliment someone, but okay.  I also wore the blue wig to dinner with my husband's family and no one even noticed that it was a wig.  They thought it was my real hair.  I wore the red wig to my niece's Christmas concert and a random girl said she liked my hair (later found out that the girl worked with my mom - small world).

Most of the wigs on eBay come from China, so they do take about 3 weeks to get to the US.  That is fine considering the shipping is free.  I'll gladly wait 3 weeks for my package if I don't have to pay $10 or $15 to ship it.

I have no complaints about either of these wigs.  They are perfect and I am happy to have them in my new wig collection.

I will be doing more wig reviews in the future and you will start seeing outfit posts with all the different wigs I wear.  Thanks for reading and I hope you will subscribe to my blog.

My Fashion Inspiration {January}

I've been reading a lot of fashion blogs lately and getting really inspired.  There are so many cool people out there.  I thought I would share some of my favorite outfits from the blogs that I read and showcase them here once a month.  You never know, you might find a new blog to follow as well.

Let me know what fashion blogs you read.  I'd love to check them out.

January Wish List

1. Jeffrey Campbell Black Leather Spike Lita Boots

So apparently when I was in my fashion funk, I missed the boat on these Jeffrey Campbell boots.  I want them so bad, but I can only find used ones on eBay.

2. Houndstooth Shorts

I am super into houndstooth right now.  I can't wait to add it to my wardrobe.

3. Coming Up Roses A-Line Dress

Normally, I am not into floral patterns.  But, I am really loving this dress.

4. Polka Dot Skirt with Lining

Polka dots are my favorite.  If you've seen my living room, you already know this.

5. Zip Trim Ruffle Miniskirt

The zipper trim on this skirt is really cool.  I have to have it.

6. Off the Chain Denim Jacket

A denim jacket is a must have item that I am missing in my wardrobe.  I would love to get one with the details that this one has.

7. Red Faux Suede Lace Up Spike Boots

Red is my favorite color and I am surprised I haven't bought a pair of red boots yet.  I love these ones with the spikes, a cheaper version of the Jeffrey Campbell ones.

8. Floral Lace Top

Another missing piece in my wardrobe.  Can't go wrong with a basic white lace top.

It seems everything on my wish list this month is also on every one's list because a lot of these items are out of stock.  Hopefully, they will get more in and I can get some of these things in the future.

What are you wanting right now?  Do you own any Jeffrey Campbell Boots?  If so, I am jealous.

Here are some more of my outfits from January.  Eventually, I will post individual looks per blog post, but because I started toward the end of the month, I thought it would be better to post a few at a time.

Since my last post, I've adopted a healthier lifestyle and lost almost 20 pounds (18 more to go).  The weight loss sparked me to buy a new wardrobe and makeup.  I also have a new hair obsession I'd like to share with you.

With the addition of outfit posts, I also plan on posting makeup looks, monthly wish lists (of clothes, shoes and accessories), reviews of products and I'll still do an occasional DIY tutorial.

I'm excited about all the new ideas I have and I hope you will follow along.
