New Hair & New Bag

My birthday was just this past Sunday and I honestly have to say I had a great time. I did have work until 6pm but a nice dinner and a classy speakeasy cocktail lounge totally hit the spot. I only spent it this year with my boyfriend which is always a treat. We ate at Prune and worked our way to Please Don't Tell for a spankin' awesome cocktail time.

I'm starting to appreciate my birthday a lot more since now I get freebies! I need to find other places such as companies or restaurants that gives out free stuff on your birthday. I mean, it actually makes your birthday that much better and who doesn't like free stuff?!

Praline N Cream @ Baskin' Robbins

I signed up for this perk about 2 years ago and since then I get free ice cream. I'm so glad my birthday is in the summer cause it's literally perfect to cure a hot day.

I finally got what everyone was getting on their birthday! It's so small though. When I see it on other blogs the bottle looks so huge, did they change it or something? But I rather have this than what I had last year, which was just an eyeshadow, small eyeliner and mascara. I'm not a big fan of vanilla, but maybe I might just use this because it was a gift from Sephora... I know I'm lame.

The Canon ELPH 300 HS which my boyfriend got me. So friggin' happy! It's red and I finally get a new camera. YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Yea, I'm way too excited. But, I've been trying to get myself a new camera for the longest time - or maybe it was just a nag and hint to the boyfriend HAHA whatever it was, I'm really glad I got a new camera now. It being red, makes it that much more sexier.

Literally, like the camera wasn't enough?!
So so soooo sweet of him.

I also got my initials hot stamped on it. Forever mine <3

A great start to my week.
The weather isn't making it any better though. It's going to hit 100ºF tomorrow and I think I'm going to melt like right now. In the lieu of the heat, I decided to dye my hair. My childhood friend's wedding is 3 weeks away and since she asked me to be her bridesmaid I wanted to make sure I look dashing.

Before

My hair color was a cross between a dark brown and red, I couldn't really tell since I dyed my hair a couple of times at home but it failed all the time. So, I finally decided to just go to a salon and get it professionally done.

After

Voila! I love how it looks in the sun. So vibrant and bright. The color is Auburn Red. What do you guys think?

Wish us New Yorkers luck tomorrow! The heat is gonna be insane!
