Ombre 2.0
Ombre, ombre, ombre. Everyone from celebrities to bloggers to everyday career girls have been rocking the trend for the fast few seasons.

I loved how effortless the look was – roots aren’t a problem when the color starts many inches from your head!

So, inspired by it all, I decided it was time to finally color my hair! Of course, you guys can guess, I didn’t want the same ol’ ombre look I was seeing everywhere else so instead, I asked my hairstylist to dye the underside of my hair so that the lighter colored ends would peek out from my layered cut. It has a similar effect as the ombre but I have more control of how much (or how little) I want to show:

I describe myself as a design enthusiast – art, interior design, fashion – I love it all. Here’s a glimpse of what catches my eye around town, on the web, and everywhere in between. Unfortunately a shoestring budget and little skill make it hard to make my life “design-perfect” but I have no shame in keeping you up to date on my attempts. So here goes, my life in re-design…

I like! I’m still growing out a pixie I loved, so with a strange cut, I can’t do much with color that won’t make me look even more strange and messy 🙂
Haha, I’ve always experimented with cuts in the past but I think I might be a color convert 🙂
Awesome idea, Rubina! I love it and I can’t wait to see it in person! 🙂
Thanks Nora!

Thanks Lindsey! I hope you do it and please do share 🙂
