What salon was named Time NY best salon in 2015?
drum roll.....it was The Drawing Room - situated in beautiful downtown Soho this salon is everything you need for your brand new DO!
I took the brave move to opted for a chic cut and changed my hair to purple.
I took this brave step because I felt completely in the best hands with this award winning salon.
Yes that's right - I went for the shade of purple!
They say the color purple is associated with royalty, magic, mystery and piety. Ok I will take all those attributes thanks :)
So what reason not to go this oh so chic color of purple and especially when it really compliments my fave new jewelry designer VERAMEAT - her jewelry is inspired by a self-sufficient life form with a sculptural presence.
This could not be more true than with her horoscope ring range too!
VERAMEAT designs are hand-crafted in New York City from fine materials such as 100% recycled sterling silver and pure 14 karat gold. They create artfully refined, contemporary heirlooms that suit your individual style and inspire your adventures. In my case - Purple adventures!
With the pastel colors in abundant this winter - I am loving my new look thanks to The Drawing Room - you can find them located in downtown Soho and their highly talented hairstylists will make you feel like true royalty!

Speaking of which - some dramatic tunes are in need - who remembers the film Alfie - what ever happened to Sienna Miller?
looking ahead to 2017 - old habits might die hard but I'm making moves - Prada included :)

Guessing I will keep this hair do for a while

you looking at me or my purple hair :) Thank you Drawing Room for this chic look!




Couldn't have achieved this new look without The Drawing Room, Verameat Jewelry, Trendlee and Prada - thank you my lovely January Diaries friends!

And yes - cat's outta the bag - I really am obsessed with Mick Jagger and well also the classic film Alfie - I mean we all know an Alfie or two right? That's why a new DO - designer handbag and jewels can mend any heart from the effects of the infamous Alfie character - yes a major 90's throw back but a timeless character - oh and Mick's voice is truly like good wine - keeps getting better with age!
Blind leading the blind people:)
