To Dye For

On Saturday night, I let you guys in on the fact that I had an exciting upcoming week planned out. A few of you begged to know what was heading my way so.... hurrr it is. Sunday, I spent a laid-back day with my mum at the craft store and lunch at our almost-worn-out-its-welcome beloved Piccadilly. As for the beginning of the week, I was steadfastly working on launching my not-so-secret blog design service (should be up and running oh-so very soon!) I was nearly done with the design site when I decided to scrap the vibrant industrial layout and go with something a little bit more...me? The complete overhaul has left me a little "computered-out." Which is quite convenient because...I've got a little R&R scheduled into my week - and some fabulous guest bloggers in store for y'all!

Starting tomorrow and running all the way through Monday, I've got some of my favorite people stopping by to entertain y'all. I absolutely can't wait to see everything they have in store for Dixie Lust. As for me, I'll be heading to Birmingham, AL for the weekend to attend my cousin Katie's wedding. (cue spazzy squeals of excitement). I'm thrilled at the thought of spending the entire weekend with my fabulous and might I add hilarious family - my boss is even coming!

If you're charting out my 9 days of enthralling plans (which I know you are), you're realizing that I've covered Sunday through Tuesday and Thursday through Monday... and you're wondering what I've got going on tonight. Well my lovelies, I'm off to an evening of beauty at the Salon de LyLa... which is pretty much LyLa's kitchen. Before LyLa was the reason I don't dread coming to work, she was a hair stylist. She's been doing my hair ever since her first few months at Aveda in 2006. Even when she was still in classes, I trusted her to do just about anything. She knows me well. She knows that I get a little lazy when it comes to actually fixing my hair and she also knows the traumatic things that other stylists have inflicted upon me (i.e. the mushroom haircut in 7th grade). Simply put, I don't even tell her what to do. I just trust her instinct. Going in with this attitude, I've come out with some of the most amazing haircuts - and colors! We love to experiment - and we do it quite often. So I've decided that every time I get my hair did, I'll feature one of my past cuts/colors.

With out further a-hair-do.... (yeah I went there)

[Yes. I am well-aware that its "upside down." I like it this way.]

This one comes from late 2006ish. LyLa wasn't in a salon just yet, so we got together at her house for my "appointment." The idea was to have super blonde sections with darker ones underneath. Well as I bent over her tub for her to wash out the color, the nervous giggles from LyLa let me know that we were going in a slightly different direction. LyLa worked a little extra magic and we ended up with this... it was a trillion different colors and I absolutely lovvvved it! This also counts as our first attempt at the full-on bang.

So I've gotta ask, what color do you predict we dye my hair tonight??
