My Hair..

My hair has finally grown to what I'd describe as "mid-length" and the last thing I want to do it cut it but I really want a change. I love the ombre look but I don't think it looks great on shorter locks and I have lots of layers so I'm not sure it would work. I want to lighten up while still keeping a rich brunette tone throughout, I've been too blonde in the past and it washes me out. I like my hair dark but it can make me look so pale.. I just want something I little different. I love this highlighted look LC's rocking (below) and am hoping to achieve something similar with the help of my hairdresser friend who's visiting tomorrow. The day before my hospital visit may not be the optimum time for making changes like this... after all the first baby pictures will be around forever so I'm keeping my fingers crossed I don't hate it. In the meantime if any of you have any fabulous colour suggestions/pictures for me I would LOVE to see them... leave me a comment!

Purple Ombre Nails

I really liked the neautral ombre nails I did the other day and wantyed to try it with a broader shade difference. I had these 3 purple polishes that went so well together I couldn't resist. LOVE this!

The colours I used were as above L-R

Barry M- Berry Icecream, Barry M- Boots Ltd Edition and Models Own- Purple Poppy

Maybe I'll try something different next time... glitter perhaps!

Obsession of The Day 10/10/10

Jennifer Aniston... style icon for millions of women all over the world..

I have lusted after her hair for many many years... in fact it's probably over a decade now!

As a teen I had "the rachel" and as a 20 something I still covert her fabulous barnet

I think right now I'm the closest I've ever been.

My hair colour is really natural, not too blonde/too brunette it's just perfectly in the middle.

I think with a tan it would look a lot more like hers but right now all pasty faced it's not really working quite the same way.

That's why she has such a tough look to emulate.

She's of Greek heritage and has a natural olive complexion and very dark hair and eyes.

She's really quite beautiful but the lighting changes from picture to picture and so it's impossible to tell what she actually looks like!

For all I know my hair now is exactly the same shade, the only reason I feel like I'm so far off the look is because... I don't look anything like her LOL

so this week I shall tan and then we'll see...

I may have a few caramel streaks put in prior to the wedding..

I haven't been to a pro hairdresser in literaly years so maybe this is the right time to take in a photo.

ANYWHO

I promised I would update with my obsession daily so here I am, I put out a monster blog post minutes earlier than this so I'm sorry I'm rambling on about nothingness again but if you've read this far you must be a really die hard fan, I love you for that!!!

Who's your hair inspiration right now?

Blonde vs Brunette

So Autumn is upon us and I've been blonde for some time now...

I like to change it up as you know and I've been growing my roots out with the option of maybe going for this whole "two tone" dark roots deal that seems to have been getting more and more popular..

I've always flipped between blonde and brunette once or twice a year and this is the season I'm usually uindecided.. maybe I can have both?

These are a few examples of the trend.. Some good, some BAD

Any opinions? drop me a comment I'd love to hear your opinions! It's taken me a while to come around to it and I will definitely go for a more subtle version but I like the idea of blonde without having the root upkeep. It has to be better for my hair and as I'm trying to grow it it may be the best option, I know if I go full on brunette I will end up bleaching it within an inch of its life again within a couple of months..

so what do we think???

 

Could I rock this trend? are any of you akready rocking it? hints,tips and the like are welcome
