its TAKEOVER time!

oh hello there Monday, it is NOT nice to see you...but i am pretty excited that September 1st is almost here...to me once we hit September its fall time...it all begins...some stuff I'm looking forward to this Sept-DEC is my mom &sisters birthdays, Halloween with Dolce (I can't wait to explain this to you guys....) the colder weather, bringing the UGGS out, Starbucks Christmas cups, bringing out my Michael Buble Christmas CD & all the stores filled with  decorations....ahh just talking about it gets me so excited!!

sooo my new hair change turned out even better than I imagined! i cannot wait to show you guys later this week.....but enough about me....today my messy girl of the month is taking over the blog so I'm done talking. no more. this is me leaving....take it away Melissa!





Hello everyone!!! It's Melissa from Scribble-n-Dash and today I am going to be talking about something that I take pride in, my personal style.

I would not say that I am the most fashionable
girl out there, in fact probably far from it. Most of the time you'll find me
in my sweat pants/shorts and a tank top or t-shirt. During winter, it's hoodies
galore. I tend to sport hats whenever I can! That's not to say that I don't
appreciate dressing up. When it comes to going out with the ladies or a
date night with my husband, I tend to go all out. Which usually involves multiple
outfit changes & having a room that looks like my closet exploded all over
my room. Seriously, it can be pretty scary.


One of my fave hats!///Closet explosion///All dressed up///More hats :P


For me, my style is all about being comfortable & confident. I do like
to try out current trends from time to time but it's not something that I will
break my back {or my bank account} to do. I like to feel happy in my
own skin and the harder I try to look just "right" the less I feel
like me. Isn't that what it's supposed to be all about? Finding yourself in
what you wear and how you OWN your own personal style! 

Here are just some ways I've owned it...


Cousins wedding///ladies night///Date night///concert
Stop by the blog sometime to see more of what makes me, ME!!

Just a quick THANKS to Kelly for having me, I have had an absolute BLAST sponsoring you this month!!


Isn't she so adorable!? Make sure you check out her blog & give her some love! Let her know Messy.Dirty.Hair. sent you!

Also after much thought Nicholl of The Chiffon Diary & Me have decided to not continue with the Click a Pic Challenge. We thank you all who linked up with us when we were trying it out!

its like crack

hello loves & happy Sunday! So today I am off getting my hair dyed! oh yes that time has come again...however i am not just getting my roots done...it's time for a change...if you remember i have had an array of color changes throughout the years with my hair, from red to black to brown...you can check out all my previous hair colors HERE

so Ive been bleach blonde for about 2 years now which is way longer than usual...i usually change it up every year but i haven't been...

so I've decided its time to change up my hair color....what color you ask? well of course I'm not gonna tell you...you're gonna have to come back next week & see...but I will leave you with a hint....its something i haven't done yet, so its gonna be new..I'm excited.

ok moving on....so today I am back linking up with Neely & Ashley for Social Sunday..today's topic is online themed so lets get social!  
Sunday Social



1.     What is the first website you log on to each day?
It would defiantly be Google to check my email, then I go to twitter & see what’s going on in twitter land…this is usually done in bed on my phone right after my alarm goes off…obsessed much?...then I proceed to read these blogs here, here & here....& then here, here  & here :)

via
2. Give us some funny websites you visit that we need to know about
I feel like I don’t go to funny websites...i never venture out & look for random things online...I'm usually online for a reason...boring i know..

3.    Pinterest or Facebook? Why?
Pinterest – it’s like crack. I just love looking at all the pretty pictures & colors plus there isn’t pinterest drama like there is with facebook

via

3.     Twitter or Instagram? Why?
Both...they're both fabulous in their own ways – twitter because I feel like you have way more freedom to say what you want plus following celebs is so fun & instagram because you can post as many pictures as you want without looking insane like you would on facebook filling up peoples news feed.
4.     Favorite YouTube video...posts it!
This is my favorite wedding proposal & this video makes me cry every.single.time....its about 5 minutes, but you have to watch the whole thing...let me know if it made you cry too



5.     Biggest online pet peeve?
Girls who constantly talk/post about being insecure but yet they post thousands of pictures of just themselves in all these seductive poses..Sorry hunny you’re not fooling anyone...people who post their entire lives & people who are constantly changing their profile picture weekly, even daily. Like really?!

via...i am guilty of the "duck face" once in awhile

show me your t*ts!

ok before i go into today's fashion post i have a funny story i just have to tell you...so i was driving home last night from work, sitting in traffic...i was just driving along listening to my music & enjoying my Starbucks cool lime refresher when i look to my right...& a piece of crap old grey car pulls up next me...there was a shaggy haired boy wearing big black sunglasses who looked about my age in the car....he looks at me & all of a sudden he holds up a sign in bold letters that reads "Show me your Tits!"..oh yes you read that right....i was dying of laughter..so much so that i accidentally spit my drink all over me...i looked at him, with my hand over my mouth still laughing & shook my head no...he then proceeded to point to the sign with a come on look...again I laughed while shaking my head no...clearly it wasn't gonna happen so he gave me the hang loose hand gesture & drove off into another lane looking for his next victim...i was still dying of laughter....only in California...

via....(not me or anyone i know)

ok moving on...so its no secret i love music. classic rock to be exact. i live for music. whether i am driving in my car, cleaning my room or at the office my music is always blasting....just to name a few of my favorites - The Beatles, Zeppelin, Crosby Seals & Nash, Hall & Oats, Elton John...i could go on. If you wanna hear more about my music OBSESSION you can check out this post HERE...

so have you seen the movie Almost Famous? well if not please stop reading this post & go rent it RIGHT THIS SECOND...you can thank me later....for those of you who have, penny lane - yeah I wish i was her..on top of me wishing i was a hippy, being a band groupie has always been a fantasy too...& not a groupie in toady's music, back in the 60s & 70s....

back in high school i was SO that girl who went to concerts all the time & followed all the underground bands...back in the day we called them EMO....some of my favs were Saves the Day, Julianna Theory, Get Up Kids, Dashboard Confessional, Something Corporate (still my absolute favorite)...those kinda bands


 So a lot of my style & the looks i put together are inspired by that rocker look..i like to call it Rocker Chic ...i have a fun pinterest board dedicated to my love of rock & roll called I'm with the band....with inspirations to add some Rockto your outfits...

Top: Feel the Piece ::  Leggings: H&M :: Booties: Sam Edelman via Nordstrom Rack :: Lace Bra: Urban Outfitters
Originally that was a top I got from a good friend of mine, but since I am such a shorty I decided to pair it with leggings & turn it into a tunic....I cannot tell you the amount of times I am shopping & a girl picks up a longer shirt & goes "what on earth would I wear with this?! its so long"....ladies, either tuck it in with some high waisted jeans or pair it with some leggings...just because the shirt is extra long doesn't mean you have to pass on it...one of my favorite looks is a long top over leggings - its comfy, easy & chic....& i know a lot of people do not think leggings are pants, & you're right but with the right top or dress they can be pants...try it sometime & have some fun!


Giveaways going on HERE, HERE, & HERE
