HAIR TALES

I have some exciting news! With fall approaching and school about to start next week, I've been wanting a new look to go along with the next chapter of 2013. So, I've decided to update my look by bayalge'ing my locks! Bayalage is a a cross between highlights and ombre, a more natural highlight. My brunette is neither dark nor light. Its kinda just been blah......

I'm going for lighter, beachy low maintenance highlights and no….not near the roots.  It will be painted on to blend to add dimension to my thin strands. I've been my natural color for over 4 years now and my hair has gotten its health back. I've been every color under the sun and I’m ready to change it up once again. Plus, it gives my man a new woman! ha

Most people go dark for the fall/winter months but with my complexion I do the opposite. Lighter hair in the winter and darker hair in the summer so I don’t look to washed out – for me this works better next to my eastern European skin. I’ll keep my hair past my shoulders but will chop off the dead ends and cut into it again for more dimension.

Here are some visual inspirations I’m choosing between. 

Let me know what you think!

I SAW THE SIGN....

I have always been fascinated with  astrology and zodiac signs. Maybe its partly due to the fact that I'm an Aquarius. A mystical creature myself!

 Anyway, I had to share this find with you all. A post that combines 2 of my favorite things in one.

 Astrology & Charlotte Olympia!!!!

THE DAILY BREAD

Repeat after me.....luh paN koh-ti-dyaN. luh paN koh-ti-dyaN. luh paN koh-ti-dyaN.

What you just pronounced was "the daily bread" in french which reads Le Pain Quotidien! See, its easier when it is broken down.

I love this place and I wanted to post on why Le Pain has become one of our Sunday rituals.

& here is why:

First, the atmosphere. The simplicity of the wooden rooms full of large communal tables makes it feel homey rather than restaurant like in a sort of a rustic-modern-french way.  Although we always grab a table for 2 by the window, but you have the option of both.

The food is fresh and organic. The coffee is my favorite by far... and it might have to do with the bowl shaped coffee mug they serve you. I'm able to wrap both hands around the mug which makes it a simple pleasure of mine :)

Back to the food. The food at Le Pain is wholesome and delicious! There is also an awesome variety that is sure to please your dining needs, even if they are extremely different . Vegan food? Check. Omnivore food? Check. Vegetarian food? Gluten Free? Check.  I always order the Gluten Free Salmon Tartine. Amaze. 

If you like bread, this place is a must. A unique, and completely amazing, feature of Le Pain is their variety of sweet spreads for their bread.  Perfect if you have a super sweet tooth.

Le Pain can at times get extremely busy, I highly recommend enjoying a brunch with your girlfriends on a weekend while sipping on mimosa's. Yes they have mimosas! 

Le Pain for us is our perfect spot for a leisurely brunch on Sundays. 

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Thank you for stopping by, have a lovely week!
