Amanda Bynes is back online!

The troubled What a Girl Wants star posted a series of Instagram pictures of herself Friday, giving fans a little insight into what she's been up to since stripping her Twitter account down to nothing back in August.

"What up doe?" Bynes wrote, linking to a picture of herself in a furry jacket, some kind of red turban, oversized sunglasses and extremely dark lipstick. "[Heart] my turban!," she added.

"Bout to get my nails done. :D What color should I get?," she wrote, linking to the same photo again. "I want to go long and pointy!"

The former Nickelodeon child star also posted an Instagram shot of her rear end and legs. "Losing weight is hard to do," she said, adding that she "[loves] jeans with sexy holes…"

Despite Bynes' seemingly erratic behavior and a series of run-ins with the law, she told People in September she's "doing amazing" and is in New York planning to launch a fashion line.

We hope it's all that, because she's definitely focusing her energy on the East Coast. A source tells E! News the starlet is not expected to be present at court hearings in L.A. this week for her charges of hit-and-run and driving with a suspended license, or next week for her DUI hearing.
