going grey

i'm not going to lie, when i found my first grey hair i was mortified. when my hairdresser mentioned it, i was a little embarrassed. now i keep noticing more and more, lightly tinting my natural auburn (i believe it's auburn...) hair at my temples and a one inch section opposite my part...i've been dying my hair for as long as i can remember and i've been every colour under the sun. i can't even count how many times i've told a hairdresser to never let me dye my hair this or that colour ever again (and inevitably doing it anyway...). lately i've been contemplating just letting it grow out. i know, sounds crazy. i think i might be (and so does mr. brack). i'm just so sick of all the upkeep and i very rarely get my colour done. but it's exhausting. and for what? to spend money? to look attractive? i think i might be done with the whole thing! gasp. shock. i'm not the only crazy though. apparently it's like in or something. perfectly sane youngins like me are voluntarily dying their melanin rich hair shades of grey! (don't get any ideas here ladies, this is a family blog...) so, i guess here goes...i can't guarantee i won't renege on this in a month or so. but that's the beauty of it.


i can't tell if this is photoshopped, but
the grey doesn't take away from her youthfulness


this is sarah harris, who is 31, and works for vogue
and who rocks grey hair...

this week on pinterest


my life because of my lack of attention span


the charm i want my home to have



this clock because it is red and oval
(and tiny)



because this broach would make any shirt happy


everything would look amazing on these shelves



who? me?


why is pink such an amazing colour?


doesn't this make you want to get up really early and like run through a field or some shit
not too early though...


what i attempted to make 
but put too much salt into
at least the dog liked them...


what i'm going to make


what i hope i look like while listening to music
or basically doing anything...


amen

help me!!...

okay, so my dress has arrived (and it fits like a glove, thank goodness, because online shopping scares me when it comes to sizes and returns...) and today i ordered mr. brack a beautiful grey blazer from gap.ca (on sale a-thank you) and a real cute pink spring-y tie from etsy ('is it pink?...cos i'm not wearing pink!').


minus the black jeans...the shirt is cute though


cute, vintage, seersucker...from brooklyn frock on etsy
(the picture is a link...)

i don't want us to be that couple that's all match-y match-y (which is what i'm afraid we're going to look like) but more of a cohesive look that 'goes' together...so now you have to help me pick out shoes to go with my dress...


hello, sweetie...

first, the pinks...


#1
these look fun and a little glitzy...
and like they'd hurt my feet all night



#2
i love this rosy shade and the vintage look


#3
these are just so prim and proper
i'm afraid they might be a little to casual


#4
fun and casual and not too high!
and i love the coral


#5
a fun pop of hot pink and coral
maybe too casual?


#6
i think these would be very chic 
and the shade of pink wouldn't be too overpowering



#7
i had to include these because they're so much fun 
and i love the bow detail

contrast with a little teal...



#8
and they come in aqua! heart

#9
casual yet funky in this beautiful shabby teal

#10
cute contrast in cerulean blue
bonus: i already own these

and then neutrals...

#11
i kinda really like these!!
they're really simple and cute
and i don't think they'd take away from the dress

#12
these might be too casual
but the pink flowers are cute and flirty...

so there are the candidates...i don't know...i have my favourites, but i wanna know yours!! let me know in the comments or send me some links if you have a better idea! can't wait!!!
