Under the Weather!

Unfortunately and amazing weekend with my sister ended up with her giving me her cold! yay! I am feeling alittle under the weather, hopefully I will be back tomorrow or wednesday to show you the new hair color!

I hope everyone had an awesome weekend!!

Feeling alittle like this guy!

Tortoise and the Hair!

I think apologies are in order: I have been so busy these last few days getting ready for London and I have neglected my lovely readers. I would like to thank you for your patients and your comments they mean alot to me! I love reading them, and I love seeing that I have new followers!!! So thank you, thank you, thank you!! Well on to more cheerful things!! I am dying my hair on saturday morning!! I am so nervous, I have never dyed my hair before but my hair needs it. I have become Emily and the technicolor dream hair, I am sure you are wondering how I have multi-tonal hair when I have never dyed it well I'll let you in on something, my hair gets very light in the summer with alittle, okay alot of help from sun-in hair spray! So now that I have about 2.5 inches of dark hair and then lighter and then at the end blonde. When I have my hair in a pony tail, I am a brunette from the front and a blonde from the back...awkward. So I am dying it lighter to brighten up before Europe!! I realize that I will get roots but I figure the summer sun will help out and I can dye it again if I want next winter. Good plan? Am I delusional? Well either way, I am really controlling and I plan things out like crazy so I have put some pictures together so my hair dresser has an idea of what I want.

These are the desired colors:

I like K.Ripa's hair because you can tell she colors it but it has alot of highlights so her roots aren't BLAM in yo' face. I hope for this.

I picked this because it is the closest to my summer hair color, I like that it is an all over blonde but again she has sweet highlights in there too!

I like this color of the bottom of her hair, her bangs are alittle to "count the # of hightlights and you win 200 gum balls" sort of game.

My hairdresser is going to have an awesome time with all requests but this is why.

Fears:

Orange yellow hair...no words, just tears.

Over processed and fried. God I hope this isn't the official London look.

Do you color your hair, have you had any terrible mishaps that would make me want to cancel my appointment!???

Tell me everything and anything you know about dying hair, be nice because I am already having heart palpitations over this!

Thanks again for being such great readers, I will be back Monday to show you the new locks!!!

Happy Weekend!!

Super Duper busy day

Hello loyal readers, today is a super duper busy day for me, I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off getting last minute things for London. So I am going to leave you with a quote of the day and a picture of my future travels. I'll be back to post about my errands tomorrow!!!

Have a great, and enthusiastic day!!

12 days to Philly, 13 to London!!

Wardrobe Inspiration Monday!!!

Wardrobe Inspiration Monday is back and better than ever, today I am featuring my favorite housewife Bethenny Frankel! Since the Real Housewives of New York City is starting back up on thursday I thought who is better to inspire us this week than Bethenny! Enjoy!

I love that all of her dresses have structure to them, I really like the shoulders of this dress. It makes me want to buy more things with angles.

I want this dress! I am obsessed with navy blue, and I love that this dress is made of ribbon and is finished off with a bow! I also really like that she finds garments that show their worth in the details, this dress does not smack you in the face but you will defiantly get attention when you walk in a room.

I love this outfit not only because she is holding cupcakes but because this is a dress that does everything for you! It is tight around your ribs and then hangs gracefully on your hips, to hide all the batter you ate. Another great point is that you don't have to wear a ton of jewelry because the dress has it built in!

This is something that I would love to wear! The texture in the skirt is so fun, and lightens the mood of a plain black and white dress. Also that ring is amazing!!

There you have it, the wardrobe of a housewife full of inspiration! See you back here tomorrow!!

Korea before London!

Yesterday, I finally found a copy of Rosetta Stone Korean!!! I'm sure you are wondering why I need this. Well, I was informed by my asian beau that we are having dinner with his parents before I leave for London. There is only one problem, Tom's parents do not speak english very well, Tom is a great translator but in the heat of conversation he usually forgets that I don't speak Korean, and I am left in the dust. So in the hopes that they will see that I am trying as hard as they do, I will try and lock down the necessary phrases to get by. I have started and its a rocky road but I have 3 weeks and I am determined to speak korean to them at dinner! No matter how scared I will be!

All of this talk about Korea and their devastatingly hard language, makes me think about asian inspired rooms. Here are a few that I like:

I realize that these are not rooms, but they are asian inspired day beds! I love little nooks to snuggle up in, and with the wicker material it lets in just enough light to read or nap! I just want to grab my asian and read a book in there with him.

I think this is a great example of an asian inspired bedroom. It has a focus on natural colors and materials, which I love it is so calm and inviting. I also really like that the asian inspiration is no so literal they have a small bonsai and the parchment lights and the simple lines of the furniture!

I liked this dining room because of the asian accessories. I love the wallpaper because it is not in your face but it is simple and it flatters the room. The asian writing on the wall is alittle much but overall it has a subtle asian flavor.

This look might not work for everyone, but I really like the idea of floor pillows. Grated, I would like to have traditional seating in addition to the pillows but I like the way this looks! Do you?

This is how to rock a floor pillow, or atleast how I would. The furniture is low which makes the pillows not that out there and provides another expectable seating alternative. I also love the branches, that are a cool substitute for flowers.

Well I hope you all enjoyed this asian gallery, and wish me luck on learning Korean. Have a great weekend everyone, and I will meet you back here on Monday!

Finally!

Today is the day! I have my rain boots on and I am skipping down to the Red Box. It is the perfect movie day, for the September Issue!!! I have waited so long to see this and I am soooo excited!! I have a huge girl crush on Grace Coddington and I hear that she shines in this documentary!

I love you!

Well, I am off to the red box but I will be back here tomorrow to tell you how much more I love Grace Coddington!!

Have you see it? What did you think???

London Calling!

I cannot wait to get to London, I have been looking at all of my friends pictures and it makes me so excited!!!! Just over 3 weeks left till I am abroad!! Yay!!

I would love some must see recommendations if you have been to Europe before!!

Let me know!

Until Tomorrow!
