As you can tell, my blog got a little makeover yesterday! Adrien over at Adrien Designs has a great eye for style, and if you're a blogger you should definitely check her out. Great service too! :)

In addition to wanting to change up my blog design, there are some other things on my mind right now... 

1) I'm actually kinda sorta really homesick for fall in Colorado. It might be a short season (especially because they've already gotten snow!) but it's still a beautiful time of year to go on a hike. The aspen trees are my favorite part... they light up the skyline like nothing you've ever seen before! Absolutely gorgeous. If you are in Colorado or heading that way soon, check out this list of great fall hikes.

I'm ready to do it again! Inspired by this photo, changing up my hair color is definitely in the cards very very soon. 

Now, in a perfect world, I'd be wandering around Colorado, with a cute fall hat on my darker red hair. 

Hey, a girl can dream, right?!

Five Friday Favorites

It's been kind of a long week, but at the same time a very short week. In my classes, we've all been assigned our next projects, but either we can't quite start on them yet or we are just in the early stages of idea development. Because of this, we all feel a little tired, not motivated, and really just ready for another break. For me personally, it also doesn't help that I haven't quite gotten back on the working out horse, which always gives me more energy. I've just had a lot of errands to run or meetings to attend recently which has made it hard. But regardless, here are my Five Favorites things about this past week...

1. My furniture design class turned in our cardboard chairs to the local elementary school this week, and it was so much fun! (Look for a more detailed post next week!)

2. This Styled Life reached a milestone on Bloglovin'! I'm so happy with how this little idea of mine has grown since I started last June. 

3. I sported this cute ensemble on Wednesday for a little mid-week style!

4. I've made some progress on my closet clean out, check back next week for the update on this post!

5. I'm wanting to get my hair cut, thinking something along the lines of this...

Have a lovely weekend!

Let's Talk About My Hair

My hair has been through a lot of transformations throughout my life. As a kid, I'd go from bangs to no-bangs, short to long, pretty much through elementary and middle school. In high school it stayed pretty consistent: medium-long length. And then I graduated from high school and this happened....

I cut it short just before high school graduation, then I got a wavy perm, which I then grew out. At SCAD, I decided to dye a chunk of hair blonde, which turned a very unfortunate light orange color after awhile. Then, when I was taking time off and working at a hair salon, it went short again, and then shorter and darker with bangs. I grew that out, dyed it myself, and then recently had the red done! PHEW! My poor hair lol!

And now I'm thinking it's time to get it cut again. I'm thinking short-medium length, just below the collar bone; possibly adding more red and even other tones! I think as I transition into summer, shorter hair might be more fun and easier to keep up. My long hair is getting maybe a little to long, and I find myself putting it up a lot. 

Do you switch up things with your hair? Or do you not like to stray too far from the same everyday style?
