Back to Brunette

I couldn't take it anymore, dear reader. I've been feeling listless, down, and little under the summer weather these last few weeks and I think I've pinpointed my disenchantment -- it was in my strange and not so blond, blond hair color. And even though I've love being the cool shade of sunshine in the past, I needed a change back to the classic looking me with some updated brown locks. Granted, brown hair color washes out surprisingly easily, but I'm prepared, and I thought that the darker color, even for only a few weeks, was worth the risk.

Now I dye my hair at home. For a while I spent $85 on getting it professionally colored, but I can't tell you how many times I've walked out of the hair salon looking like I have 2 months of root grow. Actually I can, two times too many. And so I've given up, given in, trusted in my dear old mom: and am doing it on my own again. Much less stress and much less hassle -- let me tell you.


I picked two pictures where I'm smiling, because what's the point of a good before and after picture unless there's only ONE variable. I seriously can't stand the depressed/angry/mopey/no make up faced before photos than change to happy/professionally-styled after photos.

Have you made a summer change this season? A few? I'd love to hear them! I could sure use some ideas!

OOTD - Oh no I didn't buy these crazy shoes!

Reader, I couldn't resist them. I tried, I really did, but they're just too shiny and too high, and too perfect. So, I broke down, ordered them online and here they are --


They're called The Erbes Pump by Call It Spring, and can I tell you they would make me think its spring even in the dead of winter. I actually bought them for this event; if you're a Southern PA local and love Jazz, you should join me there! (And yep, I did that website too :D ) I figured the pump would look classy and also be jazzy enough for the event. I will admit I might need a change of shoes half-way through, but I'm sure going to try.

The other OOTD of my week has been my pursuit of Caroline Forbes hair I've been trying to figure out how much flip is enough/too much. I went in search of a youtube tutorial, and found this really great explanation about how to section hair for Caroline curls. Even though my hair is way shorter than Caroline's I think I got a pretty good version going:


I can't wait to see how it looks when my hair gets a little bit longer. Oh, and yes my hair is a different color.
