NEW YEAR - NEW HAIR

Good morning and happy almost weekend, Everyone! Hope you all had a great week! 

As happy as I was with the way my hair was looking lately, I decided to start 2015 with a little bit of a change:) So, I went back to see Lucie Doughty, Paul Mitchell's Editorial Director, to discuss possible color changes and we decided to go for a soft ombre look. Since my hair just recently recovered from all the damage I've inflicted on it over the last Summer, rather than doing ombre on all the hair, we decided to lighten the ends on a few top sections. Lucie also suggested that instead of achieving this look in one step, we make it into a gradual process. So, I will go back in about 3 weeks to get the very ends even lighter. But I am super happy with the way it turned out and even though it's not a huge change, somehow my hair feels fresh and new! 

What do you guys think?

CHECKMATE

Good morning and happy Tuesday, Everyone! Is everyone else as excited about Thanksgiving as I am? Normally, Emil and I manage to carve out some time to spend with family and friends. But the past few weeks have been kind of hectic, so I am certainly excited to have a proper sit-down Thanksgiving dinner and some well-needed family time. How about you guys, what are your plans for Thanksgiving? 

Originally, I got this suit to wear to a post Thanksgiving party Emil and I have coming up this Friday. But Friday is a long time away and this suit is awfully cute... Basically, I have no self-control:) Since I always loved the combination of black, white and a contrasting color, I decided to pair it with purple Manolo Blahnik pumps. By the way, I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am with them. Being a complete high-heel addict, I always associate new shoes with at least some level of discomfort. But not these. Even after a full day of running around, my feet remain in tact and completely blister free, something of a miracle in my universe:)! I suppose, this means I will have to go back to Nordstrom for that cute polka dot pair I've been eyeing for some time now. Although, the soft patent pink pair is just as gorgeous... Decisions, decisions... Nordstrom really does have an amazing selection of Manolo Blahnik heels:)

IN PUR{SUIT} OF SUMMER...

I don't think I will ever get over brightly-hued Summer suits, especially the ones as cute as this one! I mean, one word, NEON! You know how I feel about bright colors! I wore this outfit on Friday, because I had a bunch of meetings during the day and an event at night. And, I absolutely love how it works for just about any occasion!

Initially, I got it for Fashion Week, but I have no willpower, so I gave in and wore it a bit early:) Ok, maybe a lot early:) I am only human, after all! What about you guys, how do you feel about Summer suits?
