#braidsfordays

We have kind of been crushing on braids here at Faun Salon. I must admit that it is one of the greatest way to express " hair love". I mean with a good braid you can just live all the moments. From romantic to beach girl they just seem to help you feel it. In my opinion everything works so much better with a braid....Do you agree?

Soooo many braids so many choices...which are you my darlings? "all about the braid..bout the braid" xxoo.

Serious About The LBD

The holiday season has officially begun! Well, actually, if you are a member of my family the holidays begin with my grandmas birthday in Sept and roll action packed through to the new year. October is an especially busy one as my mom insists that we celebrate every day of her birthday month. I wonder when I will be permitted to adopt this tradition? So needless to say the little black dress is a must in our wardrobe. Eden and I (Eden is not only my shop mate but she is going to become my sister-in-law....I already think of her as my sister) went through all the LBD's in the store and came up with our favs. If your family celebrates for months on end like ours you will need to be able to grab these babies on a minutes notice and either glam them up or dress them down. So here we go..let's rock those LBD's girl!

Nothing better than the prefect little black dress. All available in store or on line. Xxoo

Ombré, Balayage, Dip Dye... Whats your fav?

Michelle and I like to consider ourselves dedicated to the lusciousness of hair. We are all over the beautiful, beachy, flowy, styles that are super popular. These locks are drop dead gorgeous.  Ombré, Bolayage or Dip Dye are all amazing treatments. Which ones your fav?  

Ombré : shadow effect, ombré is the fading of one colour into another. Usually you will see somewhat of a line where the colors begin their change from one shade to the next. 

Bolayage : A more natural finish. The highlights here are chunky and softer running from light to dark and more full. The idea is to work with regrowth showing your root. As the root grows out the finish leans toward the look of sun kissed hair. Fresh from the beach.

Dip Dye: We love to use the stronger colors here. Dip dye is pretty much just that. Dip into dye. Here you create more of a line between colors but the effect is so dramatic. Channels the inner rockstar.

So lovelies, do you know? Which beauty will you be? xoxo

Combination

Beyond excited! In fact so excited I want to shout from the rooftops. God bless the genius that decided to send one of those leggy fashion dolls down the hottest runways in distressed bottoms, bedhead and converse. Yes a new day has dawned. I am not sure what label you want to attach to the look but whatever it is we love it! It's  such a great way to express your fashion personality, mixing all that is plain with comfort. I think the best feature is it allows everyone to be less stressed about looking perfect. In fact perfect just doesn't work at all. I for one am tired of perfection. Let's let our hair down and put our own spin on things and let's be comfy doing it. How about  throwing a little bit of this and that to create some cool chic.? So we did.  If you are loving the pieces they are all available  in the shop or on line...

Isn't the little toque cute. Thanks so much to our neighbors Mad Monkey Clothing. Loved it mixed with the outfit! Xxoo

All About That Blanket Scarf

It's unanimous , one of the best things about the arrival of cold weather is putting on super cozy scarves.  Just thinking about them gives me goosebumps.  This season we are all obsessed with the plaid blanket scarf and who wouldn't be. Finally a scarf that works with all the trends. Rocking everything from the new found "ramp up the sweats" look to the classic chic of jacket, dress, or jean. They are so soft and the colours, well scrumptious is the word that comes to mind.  As the season goes on we will snuggle down deeper into them, but

 in this fall moment....

They cuddle you to perfection.  Last night we were all out grabbing a bite at our favourite spot here in Port Hope (Blackbeans Steak House and Lounge.....super delish) and my blanket scarf saved me.  When we arrived it was warm enough to have just a chunky cardigan on, and the scarf swaddled around my neck, but as the night went on it became chilly.

So I undid the scarf, opened it up, and wound it completely around me (hence the term blanket),

 so perfect. It was all toasty and warm, amazing. I can't imagine a blustery season without them. No matter what, I would say you need to have at least one.  Swirl them around your neck, point them down your body, tie them around your shoulders, drape them, belt them, really so many options. Check out our selection either in store or online. With holiday season just around the corner can you think of a better gift. Its like giving a hug. Swoon.

 

Crazy Scarf Love!
