Etsy Love: Hair Clips for Hot Summer Days

Hair Clips for Hot Summer Days Hair Clips for Hot Summer Days Hair Clips for Hot Summer DaysI’ve always dreamed of growing my hair out, if only for the trivial reason of having an excuse to wear pretty hair clips for hot summer days!

Still, I’m all about these geometric hair clips from ApseAdorn, which are shiny and shimmery! I love how they give off a cool vibe too, don’t you, friends? xoxo

P.S. My advice for the Graduating Class of 2017 is coming up this afternoon!

Is Blorange the New Spring Hair Trend?

Blorange Spring Hair Trend Blorange Spring Hair TrendIt’s been awhile since we’ve chatted about hair trends and over the weekend, I came across a possible new trend, thanks to the power of Twitter. Apparently, the blorange spring hair trend is set to explode in a flurry of color in these early months of 2017.

What exactly is blorange, you ask? No, it’s not the sound you make when you sneeze. Blorange is, believe it or not, the shipping name (as the young people say these days!) to describe the perfect marriage between blonde hair and reddish-orange tints. Just imagine a picturesque sunset full of radiant, deep-hued streaks against a glowingly bright sun. What do you think of that description? Think it’s poetic enough?

Anyway, I wouldn’t be able to pull off the look, obviously — my hair is a deep, deep red without the aid of any kind of hair dye. But, I do admit, the look is sort of intriguing. It half reminds me of pink cotton candy or peach-flavored sherbet — what, I’m the only one who compares beauty trends to food? Doesn’t everyone do that?

Blorange Spring Hair TrendWhat’s your verdict, friends? Would you try this look? Do you think it’s a beauty do or don’t? Is it the new rose gold, like some fashion experts are claiming? And just for fun…what’s your dream hair color? Mine is…in the comments! xoxo

Fall Favorite #3: Rose Gold Hair

Have you heard about the newest hair trend for fall? I had to do a double-take when I first saw it because it seemed pretty wild and crazy.

Rose gold.

We’ve seen the trend on jewelry and it’s become one of my favorites in recent years, but…on hair? What would that even look like? I was imagining freakishly glowing locks that blind you like the sun’s rays or maybe some kind of platinum knock-off. I wasn’t all too sure, but I knew one thing: I was intrigued. Very.
Refinery29 even made predictions on its longevity, saying…

“Now, the concept may not seem new, as Emma Roberts debuted a Coachella-ready “desert rose” back in March and Ashley Tisdale tried the color in May. But actresses aside, we’re predicting the trend will have very long legs. Why? The hue — which most closely matches the light that’s cast at the start of a Malibu sunset — looks good on everyone, and is as easygoing as it appears.”

Don’t believe me?? Here are some of my favorite incarnations of the rosy-hued trend…

Wavy

Side braid

Floral bun

Braided bun

Gorgeous, right? I like to think I was sort of, kind of, maybe ahead of this trend — you know, with my naturally darker rose gold hair color. Or, as Janelle says, my copper hair.

Would you try this trend, friends? Do you like it? It’s definitely an original look, that’s for sure…something that would certainly turn a few heads as you walk down the street like one of those models in the shampoo commercials! xoxo

P.S. Pretty ponytails, fall hair accessories and how I learned to love my red hair! 🙂
