New Wig

Happy Sunday!  I thought today would be a good day to show a little something I got recently.  See, I decided to try something new and get myself a wig.  I headed on over to Ebay, and ordered a long curly styled wig with fringe bangs, in dark brown, because straight black can look kind of fake on me, and I wanted to go with a lighter color.

I got my wig in the mail about a week and a half ago. The doorbell rang unexpectedly, and we almost didn't answer it because we weren't expecting any visitors, but it turned out to be the postman with my wig!  XD

I was in the middle of doing some paperwork, but I was so happy and excited to *finally* get my wig, that I opened up the package right away.  This is what was in it:

Happy in a package!

The seller I purchased the wig from put everything in a nice little package, and included a little bonus I wasn't expecting:

Surprise!  This wasn't in the product description, but it was a great bonus!

A wig cap!  It didn't say that they would be including one with the wig, so I thought that I'd have to go to my local beauty/hair store and buy one.  But no worries now, because this was a great surprise!

The wig!  In all of its unopened, packaged glory.  XD

Of course, once I opened things up, I had to try on the wig right away.  The result?

Me wearing the wig.  I am not wearing any makeup, and there is a black knit beanie from Material Girl on my head.  ^  ^

Ta-dah!  Instant long, curly hair~  I'm really happy with the length, but the color is lighter than I thought it would be.  When the description said dark brown, I thought it would be a darker shade, but it's more of a medium, though definitely not light, brown to my eyes.  But that might be because I'm used to thinking of dark brown as brown-black.  So maybe next time I might get a black wig.  ^  ^

All in all, I'm happy with this purchase!  With shipping, it was only $11.99.  Great deal, I thought.  I need to play with it some more so that it sits on my head correctly, and I learned from taking the above photo that I need to leave the bangs falling straight across my forehead instead of swept to one side like I did with the hat.  >  <

Hopefully I'll have another wig to show soon!  In the mean time, I'll be getting on finding myself a copy of the current issue of Happie Nuts and playing more with false lashes, as  I have more of those now than I thought I would this time last year.  XD

Until next time~

Fall Shoes from SCawaii

The September 2011 issue of SCawaii had a spread about the on-trend shoe styles and colors for Fall.  Since I love shoes (nothing like a pair of shoes to make your day sometimes!), I wanted to share the spread!  Take a look at S Cawaii's pick of the Fall shoe offerings:

They're all so pretty! Which ones would you choose?

The go-to colors are Navy, Orange, Khaki (of the green-ish variety), and Bordeaux (which is a shade of wine..?).  I love the richness of all these colors.  They'd certainly make a monotone outfit pop!  Or they could be a great statement to any coordinate. 

My favorites?  The bordeaux Lita-style boots, the t-strap pumps, and the mary-jane wedge pumps.  And how cute are the bows on the orange mary-jane pumps!  It's a cute, even DIY-able trend, actually.  But those three shoe styles would be all I need shoe-wise for the season, aside from boots as we move into colder weather.  ^  ^

Which do you like?  Have you seen any shoes in these styles at your local stores? If so, where?

Also, I'm looking into getting a new commenting system, since I'm having trouble with the one Blogger has by default.  Any suggestions?  I'm considering Disqus, but other options would be great.  Thanks!

Until next time~!
