Raven

While I was in Melbourne a few friends and I were hooked up with new hair courtesy of Prophecy in Fitzroy! You may not know this, but I dread visiting the hair dressers, I HATE getting my hair cut and more so, sitting in the chair for hours while I get my roots done. Being at Prophecy though was just like hanging out with friends (+good music and wine), add to that you're guaranteed walking out of there loving your new look, or in my case, I grew to adore my dark raven locks. It has even changed my style a bit, I have observed my tendency to 'witch' it up again. Funny how your hair can do that to you...

For years, I never imagined having, let alone liking my natural dark hair, but they made me realize a new way to work with it, the black semi permanent 'veil' was genius for the roots situation (that was getting out of control), whilst keeping the bright green and layering electric blue over it. The more I wash it, the more colours come through and continues looking salon fresh and more importantly, healthy. See, they don't try hard, they're quietly cool and they totally know what they are doing. 

All you lucky ducks residing in Melbourne should pop down on a Tuesday for 20% off all services (until the 14th of August), you may still even see my cheeky (literally :S) toosh in the window!

Let me know what you think? Perhaps major hair plans for the future, ones you have always wanted but unsure?

Plushy backpacks...gotta catch em all, it's you and me, I know it's my destiny, oh, you're my best friend in a world we must defend... I snagged my black pup from Chapel St Bazaar on Melbourne for a mere eighteen smackaroos. All it makes me want to do is revert back to the 90s, hang with Lizzie Mcguire's crew and bring them the joy of purikuras. I'm just grateful the straps are long enough they don't dig into my armpits (the no.1 problem with many kid's backpacks...erm duh).

Anyway, it has been only been a week coming home from my holiday in Melbourne and I miss it like nothing else! Highlights were definitely; hanging out and taking pictures with Winters Children, meeting Sophie of Darkvice, visiting yarra valley, SAVERS, dancing the night away at Liberty Social and Toff, eating meat after so long at HUXTABURGER (I think about your burgers everyday), the taxidermy and curiosities of Wunderkammer and staying with my dear friend Jess. If you missed it, you can catch all the action via my instagram (@wenopia)!

On another note, my hair is definitely darker, I was really unsure of it to begin with, being so used to lighter hair but it's growing on me! I'm getting back to my roots, courtesy of Prophecy Hair in Melbourne, but more about that in the next post!

What do you guys think? Are people still as hooked on colored hair?
