Rockabilly Christmas

Okay so I have been slacking on making posts to my blog!! I know I know.   I have a few things I am going to be focussing on in the New Year.  This being one of them.  To round off the year I wanted to pay special attention to how the Rockabilly's celebrate! 

Check out what I am perusing through this holiday season.

And last but certainly not least!!!!!!!  ELVIS!!!

Okay folks....See you in the new year and have a wonderful joyous rockabillyster Christmas.



The Bangs!!!

I was really hesitant in giving myself bangs. Especially since my hair isn't always the most obedient. I've been blessed/cursed with really thick and wavy hair. I've been cheating out and throwing it back into a pony tail, but today I thought I would share a really quick and easy style I did. I am sure you all know it, but as part of my transformation, I knew you would be dissapointed if I didn't. :P

What a mess!!!

Gotta flat iron the bangs.  Get them in order!!!

Ahhh that's better.

I call this the temple twist. Taking a chunk at the temple and then.....

....twisting and....

....pinning.

The other side - temple twist and.....

....pin.

Okay so not bobby pinned, but I find this way if it loosens then I can quickly fix.

*LOL* I now see it looks like I am shooting myself when I was really trying to point out the frizzy thick hair at the back.

A little shine mist and hairspray on my brush smooths that out.

VIOLA!!

Some neat sites I have found

Who says you can't still have some great style while you are pregnant!!

Fun and Frugalities

With my upcoming trip, I wanted to have a couple of new pieces to wear and show off.   Here are two that I put together tonight.

I bought a grab bag of items at value village and one of the items was this little cat collar.  I shortened it and added some beads.

I know it  probably looks silly, but I like it.  I think it is kind of funky.

In the grab bag there was this feather and I loved the colors in it so I added some frilly ribbon and a black flat sided bead. Attached it to a hair clip and viola.  Love it!
