50 Shades Of Rose Gold (Hair)

October 3, 2016 By Melanie No Comments

rose-gold-hair-4 rose-gold-hair-3You know the saying, “A girl who changes her hair is about to change her life.” Well, I may not be doing anything incredibly life changing – but seeing that there’s a change of seasons, I figured this was relevant all the same.

After plenty of contemplation and many nights perusing Pinterest, I worked up the courage to go BIG with a color I’ve never donned before. Enter – rose gold. The pretty, whimsical shade that makes anyone look like a fairy princess. {Cue the unicorn}

Since I knew I needed a color expert in order to execute this without making me look like a tacky nightmare, I turned to Fox & Jane to assess their talent roster and see who was up to the challenge. I ran across Betsy Duggan’s Instagram and instantly fell in love with her gorgeous lookbook of colored hairstyles. This woman is a balayage queen and I knew she would be able to bring the vision I had in my head to life.

rose-gold-hair-6rose-gold-hair-5rose-gold-hair Yesterday, I sat in Betsy’s chair at the Fox & Jane salon in East Village and watched as she transformed my brassy, grown out ombre into this magical rose gold mane that you see here. Not only was she able to get the tones of rose gold on point but she’s also incredibly sweet. After her assistant finished styling my hair, Betsy took a few snaps of my ‘do for Instagram. I’ll admit that the new color is going to take some getting used to – but I’m already really loving it! I wish that pink hair wouldn’t fade so fast but unfortunately Betsy did remind me that the rosy glow will only last for a few weeks before I need to get it touched up.  The good news is she made sure to tone my bleached locks so that there will be beautiful transition from rose gold to a blonde balayage whenever I decide to say goodbye to pink hair.

Are you thinking of changing up your hair this season? If you’re in need of some color inspo – check out Fox & Jane’s Instagram. I genuinely think they have some of the most talented colorists in NYC. Happy coloring!

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers” 🍁 

One of my fav quotes from a childhood literary heroine who taught me to romanticize the every day and that there’s always scope for the imagination 🧡 (and if you haven’t read Anne of Green Gables, you’re missing out) 

Since the holiday season kicks off next month, October is fully dedicated to all the best fall activities! Here are a few that I’m looking forward to: 

🍎 going apple picking 
🎃 visiting a pumpkin patch 
🍂 leaf peeping walks 
🍩 making apple cider donuts at home 
🎥 outdoor movie nights 
🍁 fall family photoshoot 
👻 celebrating Halloween as a family 
📖 cozy book club meeting 
🧡 hosting a themed dinner party 

What’s on your October bucket list? 

PS: this Taylor Swift audio is just getting me pumped for October 3rd! 🎶💕

Woke up to a very rainy, 50°F Autumn morning and decided this immediately called for some pumpkin muffins 🤎 

I used the @simplemills pumpkin bread mix, added chocolate chips to the batter and topped with @purely_elizabeth cinnamon granola — such a quick, easy breakfast/snack 

Cheers to more cozy mornings like this 🕯️🍂

(PS - did you peep the clay leaf candle holder I made from my previous reel? I love it so much!)

Happy first day of Fall y’all! 🍁 Cozy season
Happy first day of Fall y’all! 🍁 Cozy season is officially here and with it is an invitation to slow down and give yourself an Autumn reset

Along with these 6 ideas, I’m sharing a free Autumn Reflections guided journal with one week of daily journaling to help you reflect & reset for a season of warmth and coziness 

Just comment JOURNAL to receive the printable pdf link in your inbox 💌

and be sure to save this post to reference all season long: 

1. Invite warmth into your home 🕯️ 
Fall is the perfect time to make your home feel like a cozy sanctuary. Declutter, light candles, wash all your snuggly blankets and decorate 

2. Reset your nervous system ❤️ 
Autumn invites us to slow down and ground ourselves. Try candlelight yoga, practice deep breathing, stay offline in the evenings and go for more slow, mindful walks 

3. Realign & set intentions ✨
This is a wonderful time to release what no longer serves you. Look back on the growth you’ve made so far, journal, choose an intention for the season and make a mood board 

4. Nourish yourself seasonally 🍁 
Lean into comforting, warming foods like squash, apples, cinnamon, pumpkin and seasonal beverages & baked goods 

5. Give yourself routines a cozy refresh 🛏️ 
A new season calls for a fresh approach to your daily rituals. Update your playlist, adjust your skincare and refresh your wardrobe 

6. Celebrate simple joys 🥂 
Fall is filled with opportunities to find joy in the smallest things. Create a fall reading list, try a seasonal hobby, start a gratitude practice, take yourself on an autumn solo date or plan a cozy gathering with friends 

Which ways are YOU going to practice a reset this Autumn? 🍂

The first day of Autumn is tomorrow and that means it’s officially #harrypotter marathon season 🕯️🪄🦉📜🧹

So many of these clips are from my Hogwarts Happy Hour party I hosted a couple years ago (one of my fav hosting moments!) ⚡️ 

Since I noticed the video I shared back then is going viral again 😅 I’ll be resharing it soon with all the updated links in case you want to host your own Harry Potter party!

Now that I’m back from my trip, it’s time to pick up where I left off with my early autumn programming… and today that means I’ve got another #cozyhobby for ya! 🍁 

I’ve been wanting to do something with air dry clay for a long time now and this maple leaf candle holder was the PERFECT beginner friendly cozy autumn craft! 

All you need are DAS Air Dry, clay cutting tools, some acrylic paints (I loved the combo of red & burgundy with metallic gold) and a polyurethane gloss varnish 

I picked a leaf off our maple tree to use for the imprint but you can always use a faux one! 

SAVE THIS TO TRY LATER: 

✨ cut and roll clay to about a 1/2 inch thickness 
✨ lay leaf on and press to get imprint 
✨ cut out the leaf shape and use small tool to deepen leaf veins 
✨ place clay leaf into small mug or bowl covered in plastic wrap to get rounded shape 
✨ let dry for at least 48 hours 
✨ paint with shades of orange and burgundy
✨ use slightly damp sponge dipped into metallic gold to stipple on top
✨ let dry and then cover with two coats of varnish

Add your tea light candle and light! 

This would make for such a cute autumn gift or fun crafternoon activity 🍁🕯️ 

Let me know if you’ll be trying this and tag someone who you think would love to craft with you
