ombre pt. 2

As you can see my hair was in awful condition. The color bland and boring. Even against off-white and in great lighting, nothing good was going on. I didn't have the balls to take you through this via video, but I wanted to re-introduce my ombre DIY. This time around I made sure to take my time and be patient. My first time around with ombre I mixed my bleach and toner myself and painted it on with a pro brush; however, I fully recommend using gloved hands. I was able to get between slices of hair for a more natural look. I'm loving the below photos - and think I did a great job! I know I'm not the first blogger or the best to blog about ombre hair, but this is how I did it the Molly way!

I used L'Oreal Super Blonde Creme Hair Lightening Kit Super Bleach BlondeL'oreal Super Blonde highlighting kit. If you have brunette hair you need to leave it on for at least 25 minutes for your color to lift. I put my hair into pig tails (be super careful with this so you don't get a line of demarcation) and started at the very tips of my hair. I left the tips in bleach for 5 minutes and then started to work my way up my hair shaft in 3-5 minute increments. I let this sit for 25 minutes from when I got to the middle of my hair line. 

I then washed and dried my hair. After, I wanted a little more color so I applied bleach to my ends and to pieces that were too dark for my liking, I also added some pieces around my face. I let this sit for 10-15 minutes and then washed.

By this time my hair felt like death. So....I used leave in conditioner. The kind I chose was hemp and placenta (ew ew ew!) but it worked really well. 

Below you'll find some different angles of how my hair turned out! LOVE IT!

Florsheim Shoes {closed}

Thank you to all that entered and congrats to EMMA for winning!  xo You know when you first meet a handsome boy, in my case it was a bar, and everything about him is near perfect. His chiseled features, dark shiny hair, and stunning light blue eyes. Then you look down, and gasp, he's wearing sneakers. Not your run of the mill, fashion forward footwear, but we are talking Nike, Adidas, etc. running shoes. He's wearing them in a bar, with jeans, and a polo. If you're anything like me, the only times tennis shoes are acceptable are on the elliptical machine or running a half marathon. This boy turned out to be the love of my life, and with little resistance I was able to turn him into my fashionable sidekick. With a little help from  Florsheim  you can take your Valentine from sorry to sexy with a pair of shoes courtesy of this luxury brand. I've put together some inspirational looks for you. Just remember, you may not able to c...

caged in.

If you follow me on Instagram  you've seen these flats pop up numerous times. I own them in nude and red, and to be 100% transparent just purchased a replacement nude pair. While they aren't the gorgeous $900 Valentino Rockstud Cage Flats , I could care less, I bought them because I LOVE the style. I wish I could make myself spend $900 on shoes; however, at this point traveling, decorating my new home and investing in my future are more important. I can't have it all! Those of you with Rockstuds : Yes, I'm jealous. If you'd like the link to these shoes, they are so comfy, follow me on Instagram and send me a direct message -  @McKerihan . Please note: I know there are many that have very strong opinions about knockoffs. These shoes do not bare the Valentino tag, nor do they replicate the exact design. They are simply 'inspired by'. If you're wearing anything from Forever 21, Old Navy, Gap, even lower priced brands from Nordstrom chances are your...
