Now that Q is going to be a big brother (!!!) he is getting promoted to a big boy room!  He could not be more thrilled and is excited to pass along his baby crib to his new brother or sister.  And, well, this means I get a whole new room to decorate!

I haven't decided which direction to go with in terms of color but I do know I want the room to be light and fresh and not too 'boy'.  Something he can grow into as he gets older.  These are some inspiring rooms that have me wanting to go with a black and white theme.  It's clean, light, and allows the toys to be the pop of color! I'm not sure what Q will think... I suppose he should probably get a say ;)  I'll be posting some other color schemes before we decide.  Let me know what you think!

The pictures say it all... Quinlan is going to be a big brother!  And he is SO excited (if you couldn't tell ;))!  Baby #2 is due February 13 and it can't get here soon enough.  We will find out the gender in late September but until then, Q is 110% sure it is a baby sister.  We will see!

Anyway, I thought I should give a little announcement here as I will be doing some nursery and "big boy" room inspiration photos coming up.

Can't wait to do this all over again!  It gets easier with two, right!? ;)

Let's Talk :: Hair

---

So, let's talk.  Hair.  I've been wanting a huge change lately.  Blame the new year or the winter dreariness or my innate need to try new things.  I've been wanting to go really blonde the last few visits to the salon.  Think Cara Loren ash blonde.  These are the photos I've brought with me to my last few appointments but I never quite got the result I was wanting.  I just visited a new hairstylist and she suggested doing an all over color rather than foils.  I was nervous as that is something I had never thought of but was excited to get the platinum blonde look I was going for.  And much to my surprise, it turned out almost exactly how I wanted!  I am still using some purple shampoo and might try out the new John Frieda color gloss to get more of an ashy tone but I really love it!  The stylist also told me that a re-color would be about half the price of getting foils done every 3 months.  So, if you are looking for something drastic in terms of hair color... nix the foils and color it all!

Now, I need your opinion!  I wasn't able to fit in a cut with my color so I'm going back this week... should I chop it off again and do a short bob?  Keep the length I have with a different style or add my extensions for long platinum locks?

p.s. I'll post pics of my new hair on instagarm in case ya'll are interested :)

Thanks again for reading and for helping me with all life's major crisis! I never was good with decisions...

New Year, New You

I know it has been way to long... but there is something about a new year that makes me feel so refreshed.  I miss blogging.  I really do.  And I can't wait to get back at it!  I know I won't be able to keep up with an every day schedule but I look forward to posting anything that inspires me, makes me happy or just flat out needs to be purchased. Here's to a new year and new inspiration!
