Crazy for Color

Monday, August 15, 2011

Before vacation I had a wild idea to color my hair. Not just color, but color. This was a huge decision coming from someone who doesn't even get regular highlights.  (I'm a Leo so I'm a little attached to my mane, change freaks me out.) Combining a little LC inspiration,  Asian confidence (everyone looks so cool there!) and Tina's expertise, we created this dip dyed effect that fades from  pink to bluish purple. And I was thrilled to shoot an outfit post in LA - California weather makes for perfect hair days. As I type this back in Chicago you'd never believe I spent time with a curling iron this morning. I was Flatty McFlatterson within minutes of stepping outside. Ah, well. Back to reality as they say... after a month on the road, it's good be home!

    You look absolutely GORGEOUS, and so ballsy with this colorful hair. I'm glad to know another Leo who gets antsy about big hair changes, but I'm so glad you went for it!

    First off, you are amazingly beautiful! My goodness! Secondly, your hair looks FABULOUS. I have been obsessed since I saw Lauren with them and yours are the best ones that I've seen on a non-celeb (speaking of, did you see Kate Bosworth's? they look so bad). Anyway, your hair is amazing and it makes me want to try that even more!

    Oh I LOVE the colored tips! It's just enough. Looks so cool...makes me wish I was blonde so I could do it too. Maybe I need a couple clip-in pieces.

    Wow!!! You're hair is amazing! I used to have bright red hair but I have been slowly going back to blondey/brown. I have been very tempted to add some colour to my hair. I really love Lauren Conrads and like the idea of little pink and teal streaks in on the tips of my hair x
