In love with my new hair! I spent the morning (post V8 Fusion and English muffin) heading to Anthony and Company to see my friend/hair stylist Caleb. I think he might actually be magic because the man can do anything with hair. Hes quite fabulous! I went in with my photos of Katherine Heigel from “Killers” and asked “Can we do this but in a dark mocha color?” And Caleb of course says “Yes I can do that.” YAY! Nothing feels quite as pampering as a few hours at the salon with a color/cut/shampoo/style. I was in desperate need for a change! Here is a little tour of my salon below. I borrowed these photos from their Facebook tour which is why no one is in them. 😉
They have other services as well but these are the rooms I visit regularly. 🙂 So now my favorite part- The before and after shots of yours truly!
And after Caleb worked his magic….
I was feeling energetic after my appointment and decided to walk a few blocks to the bank and then a few more blocks to City Hall to visit the DMV. The weather was gorgeous today and I actually had a good time walking around down town (minus the questionable guy who hit on me and the creepy guy who had some stuffed dolls of some kind dressed up and was having “them” yell at passing cars but whatever. )The day was beautiful and I felt happy to just be walking around in it.
After my errand running I was ready for a late lunch so I headed to the other side of town for some black bean soup and a turkey/spinach artichoke panini with onions and tomato. YUM!
Since I had a few hours to kill and I did not want to spend them at home I went bargain hunting (my favorite Friday activity). Today I chose the discount retailers like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross etc. We all know those places can be hit or miss but I do love the thrill of the chase. Sometimes you luck out. I tried on oodles of dresses and finally found one near the end of the day that I could not go on without. I have been wanting a white dress for summer and isn’t the embroidery precious without being childish? I just love it. I want to pair it with a green shrug cardigan, some funky cool flip flops of some kind an some simple jewelry.
After this I went home to play with the pups for a bit before Fraggle made it home from work. Once he got here we made Spinach Salads for dinner ( I know I am obsessed this week) and watched “The Marriage Ref”.
After dinner we went back to look at the furniture from a couple of weeks ago. It was on sale and we decided to take the plunge and get it. This officially means we have all “couple” furniture with our individual pieces gone. I have to admit when we first started this process it was hard for me. I had a purple couch in my Memphis apartment that I loved but it had to go. Here is a picture of Carrie super sad to see it go. 😉
But that was a long time ago and we now have grown up furniture and that is pretty great too. I am SO excited for the new bedroom to be delivered.
We finished our night with a trip to Kohls. My work pal Vicki brought me a 10.00 coupon that I had to spend tonight. I had been stalking these really cute Elle tees. They were 1/2 off of 30.00 minus my 10.00 off so I got this super cute flowy tee for 5.00! I vision it with dark denim and a loose cardigan of some kind in another earthy shade. Love it!
Turning in a little early tonight since I am driving to Richmond tomorrow to visit with one of my best girlfriends Liz. What are your plans this weekend?
