To business!

First off, I'd like to congratulate Sandy, the winner of the tumblr giveaway. Yay, Sandy! Email me your address, letter preference, and whether you'd like black or white earrings before Friday. Also, if you didn't win, remember you can get 10% your order with the code "Gretchen."

Okay, next item to cover. The hair adventure went well, except it's much darker than I wanted. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it's not quite as obviously red as I had hoped. In the right light, though, you can tell it's very deep and burgundy. It's actually kind of vampy, so overall I'm a fan.


I'm off to traipse around the Ohio and New York countryside for a week. There are some really, really, really great guest posts coming your way, so stay tuned.

First stop: Cleveland!

Love the hair! It's similar to what I was thinking of how I was going to get my hair cut this weekend. I hope you won't think I'm copying!

Hmmm... Is it The Emperor's New Groove? I don't know why I think that, but that's the impression I got.

Your hair is totally cute! And I wish I could have bangs like yours.

Have fun in Cleveland and the midwest!

Why do I need cool points? Are you trying to say something?

WRONG part of Ohio!

I feel like I should know that quote, but I need more context.

The hair looks great! That casual pose is working for you, too.

JB said...

The hair looks fab! Plus, I'm sure with the sunshine, the colour will lighten up a little.

Jamie Lovely said...

I wish I could pull off bangs like that! Love it.

Jenn said...

I <3 your hair :) Congrats to Sandy!

I WISH I could work the bangs like you. I've tried. I want to be edgy and vampy. It never works. YOU look fab.

Red lightens up so fast! I recently colored mine back to red to get all the highlights out and I used a shade darker than my natural color because it blocked out the blonde and it'll fade up pretty quickly anyway. Once it gets where you want it, get one of those color-deposit conditioners (I think Biolage makes one) and use it once a week.
