fall fashion

i know this is my hair blog and i usually focus on hair but today-being labor day and all-i can't help but post some fall fashion finds from pinterest.  after all, labor day is the beginning of fall, right? oh, no?  well at least we're getting closer.
so don't you wish you could have one of everything on your 'style' pinboard? i certainly do.  Louie Vuitton bags, Tory Burch shoes, Burberry scarves and all.  that would be so amazing!  it drives me crazy though, when i click on the link for the photo and the item i'm looking for is already sold out because 94,000 people before me have pinned this image and already tried to purchase it.  anyhow, it's still fun to look and get ideas.  hope these photos get you as excited to pull out your fall wardrobe as they do me!

Burberry scarf-yes please.

how is it that Jennifer Aniston's hair always looks fantastic?  

my ponytails never look like this.  her color is perfect for fall!

Burberry bag-ummm ya...

how amazing is this jacket???  wonder where i can find one of these...

Tory flats-i'll take a pair in every color!

i would die for these trousers!

think i should add a little dark to my platinum hair for fall...hmmmm.

what a great way to transition your bright denim into fall. 

 awesome.  oh, and her hair is amazing!

another great transitional outfit.  i love carmel.

yes to everything: the cowl neck carmel sweater, the gold jewelry and the snakeskin bag.

i just love this turquoise necklace with the leopard print.  

Cartier Love bracelet and Rolex watch.  i'll take both.

Husker red and a Gucci bag.  amazing.

David Yurman for every season!

Two Little Girls Explain The Worst Haircut Ever

introducing: The Style Bar!

To my beloved clients and friends:

I am writing to share some very big news with you: I will soon be leaving Blonde Salon & Spa to service your hair needs from my very own business!  Beginning on or around July 9th, you will be able to find me at The Style Bar!  Along with my two business partners, I am absolutely thrilled to introduce this unique concept to you and to Omaha!  The Style Bar will meet a few of your lifestyle needs!  Aside from the array of services I offer, I’m excited to be going on this journey with 2 very talented women!  Julie Hockney, having 8 years of experience, offers interior design services ranging from residential and commercial design to space planning, project managing and floral design.  With 20 years of experience, Georgy Collier is a personal fine jewelry consultant having specialties ranging from diamonds to designer pieces including the refurbishment of your old gems.  In addition, we will have a small boutique in our storefront offering home accessories, hair and skin products, and jewelry.  I feel that our individual avenues will come together to create a fabulous concept that is unique to our city! 

So here are a few things you need to know:

THE STYLE BAR WILL BE LOCATED IN THE MORGAN PLACE BUILDING ON 8420 WEST DODGE ROAD! Our suite is #109 and can be found on the first floor at the northwest corner of the building.  There is free parking in the lots to the north and also the east.  You can enter at either end of the building, east or west.

ANY FUTURE APPOINTMENTS THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE SCHEDULED AT BLONDE WILL CARRY OVER.  I have taken the time to sync my appointment schedule at Blonde with my new calendar so no need to worry!  When we chat next, we’ll confirm those dates and times!

MOVING FORWARD YOU’LL BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENTS DIRECTLY WITH ME.  My phone number is 402-490-8995.  Out of respect for the time you spend in my chair, I will not be answering any calls while I’m with clients so if you reach my voicemail, please leave a message and you’ll get a call back within 24 hours.  In the same respect, please give me 24 hours notice if you can’t make it to your scheduled appointment.  Text messages work fantastic as well and I can sometimes return those faster than a phone call.

ANY EXISTING GIFT CARDS AND PRODUCT PUNCH CARDS TO BLONDE SALON & SPA WILL BE HONORED AT THE STYLE BAR.  Regardless if the gift certificates are to Blonde or me directly, I’ll happily accept them!  Your punch card will transfer over to a new snazzy one!

AS ALWAYS, CHECK AND CASH ARE THE MOST PREFERRED FORMS OF PAYMENT.  I like to avoid the ever-rising cost of credit card fees as to offer the lowest service prices possible!  On the other hand, I realize it’s 2012 and I will continue to accept your plastic if you insist. J

WHEN YOU COME TO THE STYLE BAR FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT OR TO VISIT THE BOUTIQUE, PLEASE RING THE DOORBELL TO BE LET IN IF THE DOOR IS LOCKED.  Since we are also a high-end jewelry store, we are required to have tighter security.  While I am thankful for this, it will be something both you and I will need to get used to so bare with me!  There will be some daytime hours where we may leave the door unlocked but that is still up in the air.  This is a topic we are still discussing so I’ll keep you informed on any changes.

I believe that is all I have for now!  I’m sincerely looking forward to sharing the excitement of this new business venture with you!  Give me a call to schedule your appointments after July 9^th and call Blonde Salon & Spa to get in before that.  See you soon!
