Happy Early Birthday To Meeeee!

Heyyyy everyone! I hope all of you had a fabulous and relaxing weekend! As you can see by my featured image, I got a new purse for my over a month early birthday gift! I’m SO in love with my new Betsey Johnson bag it’s ridiculous. As soon as I saw this little baby in Macy’s I knew it had to be mine, so I immediately notified my mom so she would know exactly what to get me for my 21st birthday in June. One major character flaw on my part is that I’m one of the most impatient people in the world, so of course I couldn’t wait another month until I turn the big 2-1 to receive my gift! Thankfully my mom understands the needs of her impatient, drama queen child because she got it for me this weekend! 🙂 The super fun thing about this purse is that the removable, old school phone handle has a cord and a jack attached to it so you can hook it up to your cell phone and talk on it. SO CUTE! I love everything and anything Betsey Johnson and I can’t wait to break out my pretty new baby this week! I took some adorable Chatty Kathy pictures today with the newest addition to my collection, so make sure you take a look:

^^^Please excuse my super messy bedroom! Annnd in case you were wondering the brand and where I purchased my dress and heels, here’s the usual break down for ya:

  • Cutout dress: TJMaxx, I actually don’t know the brand for this one because the tag was itchy so I cut it off. Whoops!
  • Glitter back wedges: Plato’s Closet, Arizona Jean Co.
  • Telephone purse: Macy’s, Betsey Johnson

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!! Have a great rest of your Sunday and make sure you continue to tune in at http://www.lifewithlilred.com for the latest and greatest! What was your favorite birthday gift ever? Are you as impatient as I am when it comes to your birthday? I wanna hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

When I Get Sad I…

Standard
When I Get Sad I…

When I get sad I…….

Remember that everyone who works at the nail salon I go to loves me. 😉

Think about how hard I work at getting my college degree, which pays off in my straight A’s.

Look through my fabulous wardrobe filled with dresses, shirts, skirts, pants, and accessories in every shape, size, color, and pattern imaginable. Nothing makes me happier than piecing together quirky/cool new outfits to wear on the daily.

Examine all of my tattoos and piercings and remember how much pain I was in each time, but how awesome the end results are.

Think about my crazy family who drives me absolutely mental, but who I couldn’t live a day without.

Go through my archives of friendship memories with my best girl and guy friends and laugh over the millions of inside jokes accumulated over the years.

Go to Taco Bell.

Drink wine in moderation….yeah right. 😉

Pamper myself, because a bitch deserves it and my red hair has to be ridiculously bright at all times.

Get myself dolled up – dress, heels, red lipstick for days and go run errands while looking like a super sassy woman on the go.

Write, write, write whether it be on my blog, or a journal, or just random doodles on a scrap of paper.

Remind myself that things probably won’t get any worse. Lol, #optimist

Curl up in my blankets, pretend that I’m a burrito, and ponder the meaning of life.

Shave my legs, no matter HOW MUCH I hate it…which is a lot. (Nothing says ladylike like some smooth leggies!)

Cook a delicious dinner and watch my family enjoy it. (Which I’ll be doing today, because I just made a really yummy looking red lentil soup. I cooked for two hours this afternoon all while wearing a dress. Hello, housewife!)

Visit my favorite elderly friend at the retirement home, because it shows me that I’m capable of making somebody’s day. (And because I love her so much!)

Binge read a book to take me to a world that isn’t Akron, Ohio. (I’m currently reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and it’s amazing! I started it yesterday and am halfway through already!)

Remember that no one will ever, ever be me…Sarah (AKA Lil Red). A fabulous, sassy, smart, stylish, witty, caring, kind, generous, determined, and strong willed young lady.

This post was inspired by a Facebook status that I made today that read “When I get sad I remember that everyone who works at the nail salon I go to loves me, then I feel better. (insert cigarette emojis here)” I thought it would be a fun blog post and a good way to remind myself of ways to make me happy, so I took the idea and ran with it. What are some things that you do to cheer yourself up after a rough day? What’s your favorite comfort food to eat when you’re sad? (Mine is obviously Taco Bell). I would seriously love to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Renovation Station

Renovation Station

Hi hi hi hi hiiiiii. So tomorrow I planned on showing you guys what the new renovations on our hallway/entry way look like, but then I remembered that I’ll be out of office for most of the day so I figured I’ll just get it out of the way now! I mentioned earlier that we were getting our hallway and whatnot painted and the finished product looks SO fab and shockingly modern considering my dad came up with most of the ideas! Take a look at the before and after pics:

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I know that the lighting in these pictures isn’t the best, but you get the idea. Our faithful handyman who we go to for literally everything did such an amazing job. He spent the better part of this week painting, doing whatever else it is that he does, and making everything look perfect. I know you can’t really tell the color of the hallway in the very first picture on the PicStitch because it didn’t photograph very well, but it’s a sage green and it’s SO pretty. I’m really hoping that we can get some cool artwork to hang on the walls soon, because they’re looking super bare. But yes, being woken up early every morning by the handyman doing his thang was totally worth it, as you can see by the finished results!

^^^This has been my blogging soundtrack and I’m so obsessed it hurts. I love AWOLNATION too much and am so excited to listen to their new album in its entirety later tonight because I finally added it to my iTunes today!

Tomorrow my parents, my best friend Kate, and I are going to see Beauty & The Beast at Playhouse Square in Cleveland and I CANT WAIT!!!! I haven’t seen a musical in ages and shocking as it may be for some – I absolutely love them. It’s going to be so much fun and I’m really looking forward to telling you guys all about it, so make sure you keep it posted at lifewithlilred! I’ll try and get some pictures if I can!! ALSO, I have a really fun photo shoot planned on Sunday for some fresh new pics for the ol’ blog so make sure you come back and check them out! I’m not going to give the idea away completely, but I can tell you that the shoot revolves around my early birthday gift from my mom….a super adorable Betsey Johnson purse!! I live for Betsey Johnson’s quirky/girly/fun clothes and accessories so needless to say I’m beyond happy with my month and a half early gift! :))))

I hope all of you are having a terrific Friday night! I’m actually about to go watch The Theory of Everything again with my parents. They didn’t watch it with me last week and the movie was so nice damn right I’ll watch it twice! Have any of you done any home renovations lately? How did they turn out? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Goodnight. -Sarah

Best Friend Shout Out!!!

Standard
Best Friend Shout Out!!!

Heyyyyyy everyone and TGIF! So yesterday I was having a really rough day and the last thing that I wanted was to be at home with all of the people causing me a lot of stress. So I asked my trusty best friend Kate if she wanted to hang out, but unfortunately she had class. BUT she offered for me to come stay at her apartment while she was gone which I happily agreed to. I packed up my copy of Coraline to read and was on my way to her place within three minutes – that’s how much I wanted to get out of the house. Once I got there I curled up in a blanket on Kate’s couch and started to tell my sob story and almost instantly started crying. Kate was on tissue patrol, bless her soul, and was up from her chair, ran to the bathroom, and returned with a box of tissues in under thirty seconds. It was really impressive. After some quality cuddling and advice from my soul mate, I was already feeling better. Kate was then off to class, leaving me in her living quarters for an hour and a half or so. I opened up Coraline, which I’ve read countless times but never have a problem rereading and devoured one hundred pages by the time Kate returned. While I was reading I couldn’t stop thinking about how good it felt to be in a nice, quiet apartment with no distractions. No screaming, no yelling, no crying, no nothing. It was AMAZING. I seriously can’t remember the last time that I had peace and quiet while reading – my bedroom at home is right above from the kitchen and living room so all of the noises travel to my room and I can hear everything perfectly. There’s legitimately no escaping the blaring of a TV or raised voices in my house. It’s absolutely miserable. Now that I know how nice it is to have a quiet spot to just curl up and open a book it makes me sad that I don’t have it…but Kate has told me countless times that I’m always more than welcome to stay at her place whenever I need, and I think I’m going to start taking her up on that. Once Kate got home we decided to do a little shopping, so we drove to Target (our favorite!) to browse and to pick up some white girl essentials that Kate needed – AKA a coffee pot, black leggings, and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. Our night ended with a trip to Taco Bell, but for the first time in my entire life I didn’t order anything to eat. I’ve been so stressed and miserable lately that I can’t bring myself to stomach anything. I feel hungry and full at the same time, but when I think about eating it makes me nauseous. But I couldn’t NOT get something, so I ordered a Baja Blast Freeze as a treat since I never order anything to drink when I go to TBell. On our way back to Kate’s apartment we saw a raccoon without a tail wandering around the streets and laughed about nothing and everything and for a while I couldn’t even remember why I was upset in the first place. I went back home feeling much better than I did before, and I am SO thankful that I have such an amazing best friend who’s always willing to help a bitch out in her time of need. So this ones for you, Kate! I love you!

Soooooo…..

Standard
Soooooo…..

Hey everyone and Happy Thursday. So let’s start with some good news to get a bummer of a post started and then we’ll go from there. I got my very first 100% on a math quiz today since like the fifth grade, so that’s pretty exciting! I was seriously so proud of myself I could have cried! Now, onto the sad stuff… (WARNING: This post contains references to self harm, so feel free to not read it!)

I had a bad night last night and ended up having a bit of a slip up on my self harm sobriety. Honestly, things are going to shit at home and I feel so overwhelmed I can’t even take it. I’m not going to put my family’s privacy on the line so I’m not going to go into detail about what’s going on, but just know that it fucking sucks. Things have been not so great for a while, but yesterday night it just seemed unbearable. People were crying, question after question was being asked to get to the bottom of the problem that was happening, it was all just one gigantic shit show. The thing is, the stuff that was occurring really didn’t even have to do with me, but I constantly get thrown into the middle to act as a mediator or messenger or whatever the hell and it just gets SO stressful. I’m always getting problems that I don’t want tossed at me like it’s nothing and I just can’t take it. So last night I was laying in bed with so many different thoughts swarming around in my head like an army of flies. I was worried sick about everything, I was thinking of possible solutions to the millions of difficulties, I was trying to think about anything but cutting…but it didn’t work. Literally as soon as I got the idea in my head I got up, turned the light on, and grabbed my chosen sharp object. I haven’t cut probably since the beginning of February, but the thought of backtracking was only in my mind for a split second, because as soon as I made the first incision I was in heaven. Seriously, it was euphoric and I fucking hate that it feels that way to me. Slicing up my arm should hurt, but it doesn’t. I get into this void like place in my mind where I think about nothing, and I only snap back to reality when I realize I’m bleeding and my arm feels like it’s on fire. The worst part is, is that I didn’t even feel bad about it last night. After I was through doing what I had to do all I could think about was the fact that my arm hurt and that took away all of the other thoughts flying through my mind at a hundred thousand miles per hour. I’m paying the consequences now because I feel like shit about it, but I know that I can’t beat myself up about it for forever. If I get into the guilt trip mode I’ll just keep on slipping up and I can’t have that. So now it’s time to just take the situation for what it is and get back on the horse and try again. It just sucks that it’s always so fucking hard.

^^^^ My sister and I are seeing The Used in concert in Cleveland in like two weeks and I’m so excited! My emo kid fantasy is finally coming true!!!

Sorry that was such a bummer guys, but I really needed to vent about it before I go on with my day.

Forgetful Me!

Standard
Forgetful Me!

Guyyyyyyys, seriously? You let me forget some of the stuff that I was gonna talk about in my Lil Red’s Spring Obsessions post?! Thanks a lot! -___- Kidding of course, but for real I’m so annoyed at myself for forgetting to mention my latest jewelry obsession! *Drum roll pleeeease* ……………

…..BODY CHAINS! Yes, yes, yes I love them! I found my new beauties when I went with my sister to get her ears repierced at Claire’s. Kristen is the queen of piercing her own ears, it’s actually really amazing. I remember walking in the bathroom and seeing her stick a needle through her ears like it was nothing. Unfortunately, miss thang came to the realization that almost every hole she poked was totally uneven so she decided to let them close up and get them redone by someone who actually knows what they’re doing. I really don’t know how she does it. I’ve gotten countless extreme piercings – hips, collarbones, four nose piercings at once – but I can’t for the life of me pierce my own ears! As you can see from all of my pictures and posts of my body mods, I can clearly handle pain but I apparently can’t handle shoving a needle through my lobe…go figure. ANYWAYS, I’ve been looking for some cool body chains for forever, and I was soooo excited when I saw that Claire’s had a wide selection to choose from! Kristen and I got 20% off of our purchase since she got her ears pierced and the jewelry was buy two get one free on top of that, so it was quite the deal! Take a look at my new swagg (and remind me to never say that again):

chainchain1chain2

^^^^ So fun, right?!

I love these sassy and edgy new additions to my jewelry collection so much, but my one complaint is that they get tangled like NO OTHER. Seriously, one wrong move with these bad boys when you’re putting them on, taking them off, or putting them away for the day can result in a big, frustrating, knotty mess. Believe me, it’s happened to me too many times to count already. Luckily, my dad is amazing at unknotting jewelry, but in all honesty the chains are quite flimsy so a few more untangling sessions will probably result in one of them breaking – sad but true. Despite the chain challenges, these are such a cool add on to any outfit. I love wearing them with crop tops and I’m also very excited to wear them with my bikini in the summer time!! I’ve seen so many body chains online that I like, but they’re all quite expensive. The ones I purchased at Claire’s were $11.99 each, which was a steal as far as I’m concerned. So if you’re looking for some cute body chains but aren’t interested in shelling out an arm and a leg, definitely check out Claire’s in stores and online at http://www.claires.com/us/!

Lil Red’s Spring Time Obsessions

Helloooooo everyone and happy Hump Day! I’m just hanging out at Starbucks at the moment. I literally just finished writing a ten page research paper, so I figured why not write some more on the ol’ blog?! I’ve upped my spring wardrobe game and refreshed a few oldie but goodie pieces in my closet, and I must say….I’m obsessed. There’s a few pieces that I’ve been using a lot lately that I just can’t get enough of! Take a look and then we’ll discuss!

bagbag3shoesshoes2cardivestshirt3shirt1

^^^ I’m so aware that I’ve posted some of these pics before, but they’re so fab I just can’t help it! Let’s begin with talking about my featured image pic!

Daisy boob crop top (PacSun, Workshop): Much to my parents displeasure, I absolutely love this shirt. I’ve had it for close to a year now, and I’m still just as in love with it as I was the day I got it. This crop is so cheeky and fun, it really is one of my favorite spring and summer staples. The daisy frame aviators are also from PacSun, and they’ve gotten a lot of use since I purchased them as well. I wear this shirt with anything – maxi skirts, body con skirts (for when I’m feeling super sassy), jeans (only black skinnies, of course), shorts, underneath a flannel or cardigan – I love it all!

Skull tote bag (Target): My mom gifted me with this little baby years ago, and honestly I’m just now starting to use it a lot. This has been my go to spring time bag for school and in general. It’s perfect for lugging around textbooks and edging up a sun dress. As you guys well know, I love Target so very much, and this purse was a total home run. Way to go, mom! 😉

Turquoise purse (TJMaxx, Urban Expressions): I think that this all vegan leather purse is such a fab spring staple. It was only thirty five dolla holla too, hello bargain! The color is so phenomenal and I plan on changing out my skull bag to use this one very soon! My brother got the turquoise necklace seen in the picture in New Mexico, and now I’m sure you guys can guess what one of my favorite spring time colors is!

Floral print heels (Kohl’s, Elle): Ahhhh! My Barbie heels! ❤ I love these pretty babies so so SO much! Floral for spring is so cliche, I know – but these are so cute that I just can’t help it. I pair these heels with everything from my girliest girly outfits to my grungy rocker looks. I like how the colors used are muted and water color-esque, which I think is a more unique take on the usual loud and in your face florals. IE: My daisy boob crop top!

Army green heels (TJMaxx, Guess): I know for a fact that I’ve posted about these bad boys before, but they’re so nice I’ll write about them twice! These have been my go to heels this past month, and I’m so okay with it! The shape is so unique and the color is still neutral enough that it goes with everything. Usually I’m not a fan of a thick wedge heel when the shoe isn’t a full on wedge, but these are the exception. #love

Crochet Vest (PacSun, LA Hearts): This little number is an oldie but goodie and I’m still a fan. I’ve grown very fond of the concept of a vest lately, as you can see by my kimono and flannel vest that are also pictured above. I like how easy these are to just slip on and BOOM your outfit is instantly spruced up. I usually pair my crochet vest over a crop top with a maxi skirt for a cool boho look. It’s also a sweet piece to add on with a pair of shorts!

I know I’ve mentioned the last three pictures recently, but they’re seriously some of my favorite new spring purchases so I felt the need to display them again! I’m actually wearing the flannel vest right now and I feel like the queen of grunge and sassiness. Holla atcha girl. And in case you were wondering, here’s the brands and where I purchased the final three pieces:

  • Kimono vest: Target
  • Flannel vest: TJMaxx, Vanilla Star
  • Maxi shirt: TJMaxx, Gaze USA

So there you have it! Some of my favorite Spring Time obsessions! What are all of you rocking this spring? What’s your favorite new purchase? What’s your favorite oldie but goodie item in your closet? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Monday Update: Feeling Better Edition :)

Monday Update: Feeling Better Edition :)

Helloooo everyone and Happy Monday! So as you guys know I had a pretty rough few days this weekend, but thanks to a glorious Saturday night hang out with my best friend/soul mate Kate (whom you should know all about!), I’m feeling much, much better. Sometimes all you need is an evening of girl time to shake the blues away. We had an eventful night of:

  • Telling each other our sob stories while drinking the most delicious hard cider I’ve ever had in my life.
  • Deciding it would be a good idea to finally see 50 Shades of Grey to help cure #50shadesofdepression, so we drove off to the only movie theater in our area still playing it. We then decided it would be a good idea to get some mini bottles of wine to sneak into the theater (because 50 Shades of Lame is definitely a movie you need to watch while drinking wine), so we went to Target and picked out some fabulously delicious Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato baby bottles.
  • After we got our dranks, we changed our mind on the movie and came up with the brilliant idea to go to a nature park to enjoy the great outdoors while sipping on our bubbly. So we went back to Kate’s apartment to get a blanket in case we wanted to sit down and some to go coffee mugs filled with ice to put our drinks in. Then we headed off to the Gorge, which is a hiking trail right near Kate’s living quarters.
  • Once we got to the trail we saw that it was jam packed with people because it was one of the first really nice days in good ol’ Akron, Ohio (#represent). So we decided that until the park cleared up a little we would sit in my car (AKA The Little Red Love Machine AKA #TLRLM) and smoke cigarettes, drink our vino, and listen to One Direction. (I’m just now realizing how antisocial that sounds, haha!)
  • After some down time in my whip we decided to walk to the overlook area that the trail has where you can gaze at the dirty Cuyahoga River #EW. Keep in mind that I had no idea Kate and I would be anywhere near a hiking trail today, so I had to walk there in my beloved black lace up Vera Wang wedges. I felt like such a goon, but hey, a gals gotta do what a gals gotta do.
  • We admired the filthy and flammable river for a while and then walked back to my car to refill our drinks. Best believe I’ll have buns of steel from that trek on the trail in wedges! So once we got back to the car we both had to pee like no other, so we made a dash back to camp to empty our bladders before hitting up Swenson’s (AKA the best thing that Akron has to offer) for a late dinner.
  • We got our food to go and then went back to the headquarters one last time so we could watch Parks and Rec while enjoying our food and some best friend cuddling! :*)

bffs

My best friend evening with Kate was honestly one of the best nights I’ve had in weeks, and I needed it so bad. I’m no longer a bummed out wreck over some of my sob stories that occurred this past weekend and for that I am so thankful! It’s seriously amazing how one evening of drunken tom foolery with your bff makes all of your problems seem so much less significant than they did initially. I feel like I’m ready to take on the world, and I have my partner in crime to thank for that! ❤

I hope all of you guys are having a fabulous Monday! I’m off to start a ten page research paper, so hopefully all of you are doing something much more enjoyable!

Weekend Update: Sad Edition :(

Standard
Weekend Update: Sad Edition :(

Hiii everyone and happy weekend. As you can tell, I’m not feeling too hot right now. If you can recall from my last post, I mentioned being reunited with someone very special to me during my white girl wasted night, so let me go into further detail about that sob story…

Once upon a time in the winter I had the pleasure of meeting one of the most amazing guys ever. I fell head over heels for him but unfortunately things ended on a somewhat sour note. (Not like I wanted it to, of course.) Anyways, after things ended I never really heard from him again, which really hurt me – but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t think about him often and I missed him very much. Eventually it made me too sad to see his posts on Facebook, so I ended up unfollowing him so I wouldn’t see any of his statuses on my newsfeed, but he could still see mine. #SWAG So during white girl wasted night, after I threw back a bottle of wine AKA “liquid courage” I finally worked up the balls to text him. He replied back, and I learned that he was moving back to Florida this weekend to be with his mom and have a fresh start. We texted for a bit more and he asked if I wanted to hang out, and the answer to that was on obvious YES. I’m honestly convinced that we were supposed to see each other before he left…I mean think about it – if I didn’t drunk text him, I would have never known that he was leaving because he was unfollowed on Facebook and we weren’t in touch. (This is the one time that a drunk text has resulted in something good!) He always talks about how things are meant to happen and whatever and I really think that our final hang out was seriously meant to happen. It was so good seeing him and being able to tell him the things that were bothering me. We could have sat in silence all night and I would have been happy. I cried like a bitch so much that night…I just couldn’t help it. I felt so overwhelmed seeing him again with good and bad emotions and I was drunk so that didn’t help either. My heart aches at the thought of him being so far away, but I’m thankful that seeing him for the last time resulted in happy memories that I can cherish. When I got home yesterday morning, I showered and then proceeded to get into bed to cry all day. Lucky for me, I have an amazing sister because she did her damndest at cheering me up. She took me to Taco Bell, dyed my hair, listened to my sob story over and over again, and cuddled me real good before I fell asleep. She’s obviously the best sister ever. I feel somewhat better, but it still hurts I guess. When I walked into the kitchen a bit ago, I was clearly upset and finally caved and told my mom what was bothering me and instantly started crying again. I’m starting to annoy myself, because I never cry over guys. I’ve never really felt strongly enough about any of the guys or girls who I’ve dated to shed a tear over them, let alone a million. And all in the course of a day and a half? Ugh, hello heartache. I feel somewhat stupid, because we weren’t even seeing each other for that long, but I can’t help the way I feel, ya know? Believe me, if I could control my emotions I would have never let myself be swept off my feet by him. It’s whatever, I guess. Nothing is going to make him come back to Ohio and I probably won’t see him again for a very long time – if ever. I just have to accept it and move on, but it’s hard. It’s so fucking hard. #fml

Alright crew, I’m off to do homework and be a whiny baby for the day so I will talk to you all later. I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend! Have any of you had a situation similar to mine? How did you deal with someone you care about moving away? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
