I loved the eclectic mix of items: dinosaurs, a skull, a human hand, a little black box for photographic slides… this has always been a drawing I liked. The screen print (printed locally in my home town by Aardvark Screen Printing!) is in black ink on a “vintage white” premium Alternative Apparel “destroyed tee”. These tees are very soft and feature roughed up edges along neckline, sleeves, and hem. Feels just like a beloved tee from the 1970’s! Also, made ethically! Buy one here!

I think we can find some for a more reasonable price. I’ll keep you posted! I’m looking into getting some of these for my shop soon!   Accessories, Celebs, I love this, Inspirational, Personal, Shopping, What I Wore Today 2012-05-12T03:38:32-05:00 http://www.ninkybink.com/index.php/weblog/christina_aguileras_style/ http://www.ninkybink.com/index.php/weblog/christina_aguileras_style/#When:20:48:21Z Celebs, Clothing 2012-05-09T20:48:21-05:00 http://www.ninkybink.com/index.php/weblog/may_shopping/ http://www.ninkybink.com/index.php/weblog/may_shopping/#When:22:40:14Z 1.) Wildfox Couture sleeveless sweater with a rose pattern - I just love this! I’ve seen it over and over, and every time I’ve wanted to have it. Urban Outfitters has it marked down quite a bit from it’s retail price right now! It’s still kind of on the overpriced side, but I don’t mind splurging on one really cute clothing item once in a while. 2.) BDG high waisted jeans from Urban Outfitters- I have owned some of this brand’s jeans before and I really like them! 3.) This is a really cool jewelry piece I saw on a fashion youtube video, and I think it’s really neat!

Here is the final result of the dip dyed fuscia hair. I love how it turned out! I thought it would be slightly more on the purple side, but this is perfectly fine with me too. Ninkybink Tee click here So how did I do this? It was pretty easy, and I’ll be honest, I had no idea what I was doing. I knew I wanted hair like in this photo of Abby Lee So I went to Sally Beauty Supply and picked up this dye: Ion Color Brilliance Brights. It cost about $5 Click here to buy some. Next I put some of the dye in a disposable plastic lid to a container, and mixed it with about a half dollar sized amount of conditioner. Then I simply just went for it… applied it with my bare fingers about half way down my hair (gloves probably would have been a good idea, but the dye washed off my hands in a few hours.. haha).  I wanted it to have kind of a haphazardly faded gradient look, so I just roughly put it on in a way that seemed about right. I put more dye on the ends, than up higher, so it would look ombre faded. I let it sit for about 45 minutes, then rinsed it really well in the sink with cold water. Luckily my hair stylist friend Laura happened to be online, and made the very important note to make sure it’s rinsed entirely separate so it wouldn’t cast a color on the blonde portion of hair. You’ve got to be really careful the ends don’t fold up and touch the upper hair, or that the colored water from rinsing does not get on it. So that’s all I did!  It was very easy! I hope it will last for a while, but it is semi permanent so I will have to just wait and see. In a rather unrelated note, here are some things I bought yesterday: Turquoise & gold Cuff Sparkly pastel and gold bangles Nail Polish And star necklace + black lace top Happy Weekend!
