Blonde or Brunette

Kim Kardashian goes back to being a brunette after dying her hair blonde for almost a month or so..
Although she pulled off the blonde look, she looks MUCH better as a brunette!


What do you guys think suits her better?

Blast from the past!

I found two amazing websites that carry a good amount of vintage clothes and accessories for those who like real authentic vintage pieces from the 70s or 80s.

This Givenchy silk gown from the 70s is absolutely beautiful. There's an amazing gold bead and rhinestone trim at low plunging neckline. It has very flowy balloon sleeves and its just incredible!!


The other dress is a cobalt blue dress with a very summer scene at the front. Its very casual and its from the 1980s. It would look super cute with a pair of flats!

Another cute vintage blouse from the 80s. this red and white and black top features florals and leopard print. it has a drapey neck and strong shoulders. would look good with leggings.


An 80s leather biker jacket with zippers and coins and beds on shoulder flaps. the leather is apparently butter soft. its really cute!


Yves Saint Laurent silk blouse with black and red leopard print straight from the 1980s. It has adorable puff sleeves and bow tie closure at the front. Uber Chic!


Another vintage piece, this tunic has a very bohemian print. could be worn as a minidress or a beach cover up or could be paired with leggings. the colors are really pretty!
The websites also offer clothes that are not vintage, so its your pick!
Check them out!!
