Well, these are some extremely large pictures of me from a spur of the moment bathroom photo sesh this weekend. Thanks to Brunch at Saks and Dream Sequins for showing me how to use larger pictures (I’m challenged), and this is just for testing purposes. I want to do makeup how to’s etc, and blogger’s teeny pictures don’t cut it. So here I am. Hi. Not used to seeing my mug so big up in this piece, kinda trippin me out…If you’re my FB friend you’ve seen these, I totes blew my load over there. HA.
As you can see, I’m still a brunette. Boo. I’ve had the most frustrating time finding a stylist who will grow some balls and turn me platinum. HELLO?! I live in Southern Cali. Hardly anyone has natural blonde hair here. I left my appt on Saturday near tears, which is THE worst feeling, right? If you follow me on Twitter, you know I was not happy. I think I said “she jacked up my bangs” lit-rilly 6 times. I have some prospects on the horizon…good lord I am this close to taking matters into my own hands! But I won’t. Yet.
{Not pleased with my new bangs AT ALL. Not what I wanted. Oh well.}
{Giving her the stank eye. Mmmhmm don’t mess with my hair, biatch}
Anyways. High school crush has reared his ugly gorgeous head again. You know the feeling where you’re having innocent midday coffee with someone and all you want to do is jump over the table and have your way with him because you can’t stop thinking of the shirtless pictures you saw of him on FB , but I mean it’s Starbucks, and you’re classy, and it’s complicated and yeah…but my my….
His picture in my senior year yearbook has a heart around it. Awww’s all around. He was hot then, and hotter now. And funny, witty and complicated. To clear up any confusion-I am single! Which means…OPTIONS OPEN! Fun, fun…10 years later.
I think I just said too much. WHAT ELSE IS NEW.
I’m super excited about all the entries into my It’s The Little Things Giveaway! And yay for the lurkers who came out and are now non lurkers! I am excited to get to know you, seriously. I love reading what brightens your days!! You guys are so fun. For the record, ya’ll brighten my days too. Sorry I’ve been a bad commenter, but I’m back in action.
Been asked about my lipstick-M.A.C Please Me-A very true pink…don’t say you can’t pull it off because you totally can.

Your hair always looks good. So, they're afraid to do blond on you? Sometimes I wish I wasn't blond because I get tired of the maintenance. My hair is pretty dark under this.
Have a happy Monday!

ps. i'm still laughing about our discovery earlier. i really need to start reading profiles.
Love that pout… so sexy. You have to show HS crush that pout. Hahaha!
I love the bigger pics! You look amazing! Bad bangs, what?? Totally digging the lipstick on you as well!
Hot, hot, Hotty Hott hott!! Love it, Liz!

I think the bangs look amazing! Promise! I found your blog today from Summer's (thank goodness you posted) and I'm definitely in love! In a non-creeper way, of course. Just wanted to say hey! Who am I kidding, there will be many 'heys' from here on out
Have a fabulous night, lady! xoxo
AY YAY YAY! Crazy girl, wanting to be blonde! While its a fun time, nothing else holds that dark, mysterious-ness that brunettes have. I'm a natural blonde that has had black hair, brunette hair, and red hair… and had a hell of a time keeping it that way. Your natural colour ranks supreme. Nature knows best!
As for the hair stylist, I've learned to take these matters into my own hands. Get crazy, get a pair of shears, and chop chop chop. You can do it, I have faith!
my college crush has reared his much-cuter-than-back-then head recently.
i'm crossing my fingers. good luck with it.
and ps. You have 666 followers. creepy. so i'll make it 667
CHEERS!
Krista
Aww! You look beautiful, love the hair!
Yes, well, the hot ones just make you want to do all sorts of things…but you're right Starbucks is not the place.
Hope everything goes swimmingly!
Kisses!
Love the large images…and I think you give blondes a run for the money! You totally work the brunette beautifully!
LOVE love LOOOOVE the larger pictures hooker!! finally. you just need to water mark your photos since someone was notorious about stealing your photos… i still love you as a brunette…and i'd break for you anyway day ….mmhmm
oh and umm…keepy it classy for sure at le bucks…for fucks sakes. hahahaha (you know i wanted to say its not starfucks)
kisses – and im gonna go get that lipstick mmhmm
brunettes have more fun anyway!! And happy birthday Kristin!
And the lipstick, my oh my, I have been wanting to try that and a matte nude color.. would be perfect! I need to pamper myself more.. seriously
you are so gorgeous! i think your bangs look great! i love what you said about wanting to have your way with him at starbucks..too funny!
Okay… let me just say, on the record, once and for all… you are smokin' hot!!! Blonde, brunetter, no hair, red hair… whatever, you look amazing!!! Perhaps in my next life, I will be as gorgeous as you lady!!
Just tweeted you, but will say it again – you look gorgeous Lizzie!!
btw – how do you make the pics bigger, lol – I am so slow with this stuff too…!!
And I'm loving your bangs – what's wrong with them hun??
Love the hair, love the pink lips, love the beauty that you are….love you!!!!
Cheer up buttercup, you'll get blonde soon. =)
Muah mama!
Love your beautiful pictures. Maybe you should come visit my colorist since she will not take me dark.
OMG, I know EXACTLY what you are talking about with the brush thing. My high school crush still makes me crazy even though I've had a boyfriend for the last 5 years and he's MARRIED. Also my college crush pretty much still makes me cry every time I hear that one song on the radio, and he's now MARRIED WITH A BABY.
I'm just like, C'mon girl! Get over it! But sometimes it's hard to let go.
If we were all still single, I can't say I wouldn't jump one of the two of them either…okay, maybe only in my dreams. I say, go for it, just do it, even at Starbucks! Hey, the night is young, and so are you.
Just do it before he ends up married with a baby.
CRUSH, not BRUSH!
Oh dear.
you look so gorgeous!!
like the pink shade of the lips to the max
i think your hair is fine!
Your hair is amazing Liz, no matter how much that stupid hair stylist jacked it up. Love your photos, so pretty you look! Enjoy the new crush, he sounds cute! It is almost Thanksgiving, yippee!
look you.. GORGEOUS AS ALWAYS.
and i soo know the feeling of the about to cry because the stylist messssed up. sheeesh.
i got mine done on saturday and i told her how i wanted it annnd the color i wanted didn't stick so you can barely see the bright red highlights i wanted in my hair.. oh well. next time right?
miss you lady.. hope you got my email.
love you!!
holy hot, luscious pink lips. No homo. I need to try that color… IF I'M NOT FREAKING ALLERGIC TO IT. Srsly, I'm allergic to almost EVERY lip product on the market, with the exception of vaseline… if that can even be considered a "lip product."
How do you get the pictures bigger Missy??
Totally know what you mean about the HS crush… but I sooo only want mine to be a one-night stand.
xoxo
I LOVE YOU MORE!!! Wish we could have had some cocktails together to celebrate. SOON!!! Woop woop! So, hello gorgeous. Those photos are effing amazing. Geesh. I definitely need those makeup tutorials lady… and can I borrow your eyes and lips while we're at it? ah ha ha
The bangs are fine… I HATE when hair doesn't come out the way you want it.
You're zexy though so WHATEVER!!!
I totally get that feeling of wanting to rip off clothes at VERY inappropriate time… one day I am just going to do it. Watch me! hahaha
Don't you hate it when old feelings like that come back?!? Seriously, I am happily married (3 years now, but we've been together for 9 years) but recently an old friend mentioned someone I used to date back in the day and at the mere mention of his name, my stomach kinda did a little flip. Wierd… must not mention that evil name EVER again! It brings back bad memories!
Love the hair and the pink pout!

High school crush !? Yessss FTW ! Seriously, it's good to have your way with someone .. you've wanted for so long
Hope you get your shot !
All you need to remember is : monogamy = simple (boring) .. polygamy = complicated (fun)! HA, all my single ladies
P.S. I am loving the lips and can't wait 'til you find that gutsy stylist
I think you look great and I wouldn't have known they'd messed up your bangs looking at it, but I can totally relate to how personal it is and if you had a very specific style in mind they somehow didn't nail. I once had such a horrible experience (they messed up the layers I wanted), I actually did go home and try to repair the damage. I think it actually worked, but I wouldn't recommend it
Yay for HS crush! As long as he wasn't a douche back in the day, I'd go for it!
Oh and you're right about the Marant boots. I was going to do a Marant post in the next few weeks, but I've seen them myself and the quality sucks, considering they cost 1K. For that price you're better of buying one (or two) pairs of Loubies or Zanottis… at least those guys specialize in shoe-making!
You look gorgeous. Love the bangs!!! Would never have guessed they messed them up.
It's been ten freakin' years but trust me, the sparks are still there…I think always will be for some unknown reason.
And yes, on high school crushes!!! And I know what you mean by shirtless pictures on FB and all.
Happy Monday.
U are a sexy doll, Liz!
X♥X♥
Babydollhoneypop, I love the bangs!
I mean, how do you not? Do you not see what we see when you look in the mirror? I see a gorgeous woman with eyes that can burn through rubber (interesting thought there) and now moving on. I see lips so kissable and pretty! That lip color-I need to know where to get it! Running to Sephora or Saks at lunch!
I cannot wait for your platinum locks of heaven. I mean, you know you could shave your head and still be all that and a bag of chips, right? Hahah! Love you SIZ!
Bangs = Awesome! You look amazing!!!
good morning gorgeous!!!! you look fabulous as always and love the lip color. have a great week girly!
ooooooohhhhh my girl is so STINKIN HOT!!!! damn lady you have my like.whoa! love the hair but so glad it was free.99 because while it looks amazing it looks like it always has…amazing…hahaha…
and the blonde….oofa i am excited…but not for an inbetween…needs to be all or nothing!!!
wish WISH i could pull off that color…so pretty lady…
I wondered what had happened to project blonde! Bummer you can't find anyone ballsy enough to do it! Don't they grow fake blondes in LA?!?! I'd figure if anywhere that would be the place to do it! And the bangs are NOT bad….your bathroom photo session looks fabulous!
You look absolutely gorg lady!!
Chrystal
1. Thanks for the sweet email last night, it made my shitty weekend.
2. Brunettes totally have more fun, I don't care what anyone says however I'm sure you will rock it out as a Blondey
3. Until you have a ring on your finger your options are ALWAYS open. hahaha.
Love you dollface!
Blonde-brunette-bald- whatevers- you'd look hot anyway.
Glad to hear the jumbo pictures are working out. YAY! Hope it wasn't too much of a problem.
I totally agree with SG- put a ring on it- or it's open season. LOL!
Gorgeous Darling!!!
Happy Monday to you
xoxo Laura
Oh and just FYI- I have left the salon in tears, shaking and unable to articulate my frustration with my stylist. All things that could go wrong went wrong at this one chopshop I visited. UGH. I feel you girl.
i am loving the JUMBO pictures!!
you are stunning lady!! i love your hair and that lipstick, beautiful!!!
i hope you had a great weekend sweetpea!! XOXO
Hey bitch! Your weave is fucking haute, don't give me some jacked up bangs story. Its glam.
YES Xmas HCPS in the future..
You are incredibly beautiful. That's all.

the end
Beeeeee-youuuuuuu-tif-FUL!!!
Gorgeous. Stunning!
Love you!
If that's a bang mishap, then I want to see what a bang success is, because you look A-MA-ZING!
Ooh, I love SG! So true…no ring, you're free to do as you please. And if high school crush is hot – take a chance!
Hi honeyyy! Your hair always looks good. You're a sexy doll! haha.
"His picture in my senior year yearbook has a heart around it". LOL.! You make me laugh!!!
Good luck with it.!!!
Have a great week!
Liz, I am digging the uber big pics! You have the loveliest doe eyes.
Sorry to hear about the hair drama.
I know you hate your bangs but I think you still look beautiful. But yeah you would think it'd be easy to find a ballsy SoCal stylist to turn you blonde! Good luck. I know you will find her/him!
P.S Thank you for supporting and joining my giveaway despite not knowing what some of the stuff is…hee hee. I hope Santa grants your wish!
god girl… you are freaking gorgeous.
Love the pics-your gorgeous!
And go get him! =D
i think you look gorgeous as a brunette! but that is besides the point.
and bangs are TRICKY DICKY. my lady "convinced" me to start growing mine out. it is a pain in the ass and i am frustrated constantly trying to do my hair, but whatever. argh! it KIND of works, but it never looks as good as when she does it. ARGH!
and LOVE the lipstick!!! and big pics are way better than small pics. no need for you to be shy!
You look stunning! I don't trust the stylists in Bakersfield, so I am forced to cut my own bangs.
Sorry you have not joined the non blondes! I have had the same prob going dark..I dont want your opinion lady..just take my money and slap in that color!! We will all still be here waiting for some lady with balls to do what you want!!! Maybe Brooke will do it huh??
how do you do the pouty lips and get away with it? your hair, eyes…everything about you is beautimous!!!! xoxo
Awh. You're adorable. And your lip color is fantastic.
I couldn't pull it off
That pink looks gorgeous on you! I would try to pull it off, stare at myself in the mirror for 20 minutes, decide I can't pull it off and scrub it off my face.
I'm always nervous about lipsticks b/c I usually just wear glosses so I feel weird when I have color on my lips. I need cosmetic help. 
love how fun and sporadic your posts are! hahaha
Well I think you look GORGEOUS either way! Can't wait to see the blonde do when it finally happens!
I LOVE your hair and get things going with HS crush already!
Who doesn't love a trip down memory lane?
You're looking so pretty here!
Good luck with the crush.
love your lipstick! very pretty! and your hair looks fabulous (as always) to me, I don't see anything wrong with it!
as for high school crushes, most of mine, when I see them now, I think, "what the HELL was I thinking?" haha. my high school bf is still under my skin though, even though I say he isn't (and wish he weren't). but that's a different story. damn it all. high school relationships are always complicated and I'm not sure it gets any easier… even 10 years down the road. guess we'll see?
btw, you can totally still send me your address, no prob. I just had to put a deadline on the thing, you know? but I haven't sent anything out yet, so no worries. I would love to send you one, so send me an email!
xo
Love the lipstick- looks fab w/ your dark hair
You look so hot! I love your bangs! You should see mine…they're a mess. All uneven and I'm just so so so unhappy with them. Hopefully they grow back soon. You look wonderful and fabulous as always!
u're crazy! ur bangs look great! and please me is one of my fave colors.
You look great in these pics. I can understand not liking bangs, but they look really good on you!!
you look fantastic Lady!!! can't imagine you blonde after seeing these
love.xoxo.
p.s. you said you're goona do a post about my "getting to know you better" post?? can't wait to hear it babe!!
Missed the bang mishap due to the swine… it does NOT look that bad.
I kind of like it.
As much as I would love to see the platinum, I'm prejudiced against blondes (I blame my mother) and I don't think you should join the dark side. Besides, you're gorgeous as a brunette and it IS technically winter… just think about it
WOw I'm learning how to pose like you darrrling…I'll be doing it in the ladies room later! Gorgeousss & lip color even gorgeous-er!
xo*
Lizzie dear! Love your bangs actually and love your gorgeous dark hue! HOT!
Ok srsly i'd kinda die for your hair (and i love mine) so that's sayin somethin
And not that it wouldnt look fab platinum (bc i'm sure it would) but i'm biased toward dark hair.. I have long, thick, jet black asian hair and not gonna lie, it killlls me when girls with similar hair streak it blonde.
I love that your hair has so much volume. It's soo pretty. Great pictures!! Thanks for the comment early, your totally right. Ya need to try a lil. hehe. GOod luck on the giveaway!! Isn't it funny when certain people come back?? Weird. I think it's perfectly fine to maul a guy in Starbucks. Maybe it'll start a trend? Maybe? lol.
Lady, your hair looks gorgeous! What were you talking about?! Oooh h.s. crush ehh? Play coy and let the boy come to you! The hair flip should reel him in.
holy hotness, you look freaking amazing woman!!!!!
so……….i can't wait for the blond…i'm almost as excited as you are!!!
Babe if that is jacked up then you must see the horrid mess I've made with my bangs. You are gor-to-the-geous! What are you talkin' 'bout Willis?
I hate that I miss out so much from not blogging regularly, must catch up on my Liz posts…
Oh and I am sooo gonna buy that lipstick. Thanks, hon!
I think your bangs look fab. Are you against traveling down to Laguna Beach? My cousin owns a salon down there and she's fabulous…
Her name is Dannielle and here's a link to her salon's site:

I think the bangs look good! And, I wanted to say I loved your guest post on B is for Brown! I love me some NYC too… and that Hova duet with Miss Keys!
You are crazy, but that's why we heart you!
~ Jen
what are you talking about your bangs look great! crazy girl!
you look gorgeous. so how can i make pic larger…. i am so challenged with tech issues….
i lovelovelove your pink lipstick. too freakin cute. good luck with the high school crush
damn! i was secretly excited to see the blonde you, bu the brunette you looks great too! AND i'm a poet and didn't know it! love the bangs, love the lipstick, love everything.
That reminded me about high school crushes. I love when I look back at who I thought was hot and I'm like, "What the hell?"
The big pics look cool! Can't wait to see some of your tutorials
You are so freaking photogenic. And you have the best lips, EVOR.
i'm pretty sure you always look ridiculously fantastic. and i wish my bangs mishaps looked that fab. sorry about the anti-platinum stylists–that's wack.
and high school crushes–le sigh. always hotties.
You look fabulous. And I love the pink MAC lipstick. Bold and sexy.
I think it'll look either way! good luck on your blondism
You're totally gorge!
One thing about the blonde: if there's dark dye in your hair you're gonna have to strip it out or pay someone to.
Having someone do it will cost about 200 bucks per application. Doing it yourself is not that hard and you can actually buy Vanish (which is a profesh product) online.
That's probably why no one wants to take you up 10 levels. It's an intense process that takes a lot of prep. You have to make sure all the fake pigment is out of your hair before you start to lift it or it will go red, then orange, then brass.
If you do it yourself read up on it (Killer Strands is a helpful blog) and try and use an oil based bleach.
Best of luck!

So I was watching the AMAs the other night and there was Shakira. And all of a sudden I thought…Liz should totally be able to find someone to turn her hair blonde. I mean Shakira is NOT a natural blonde, in fact she is naturally a really dark brunette and she is now a blonde. And like you she is also Colombian. So if she can do it, you can totally do it. 'Cause basically you ARE Shakira
Gorgeousness overload! Seriously!! Can't wait to hear what happens with HS crush!! Juicy details for us married ladies please
I'm sorry about the whole hair thing, BUT… I LOVE that freaking lipstick on you!
