Plum Salon | Poppy's Style

It was time for a color refresh yesterday and even though I am growing my hair it had got to the stage where I needed more shape. The bob was getting a bit heavy so I had lots of layers added to blend it and make it easier to keep growing – it’s almost over my collar at the back now!

Thanks as always to the gorgeous Lauren at Plum Salon who got me out of there in time for my Brazilian appointment – Christmas takes some preparation! In fact after reading MommyEnnui.com‘s latest post top of my wish list for Santa this year is painless, permanent, immediate removal of all my unwanted body hair!

My outfit for the day was rather festive – red and sparkles!

Sneakers – Golden Goose (old similar here and here) // Jeans – Zara // Sweater – Uniqlo men’s cashmere crewneck // Jacket – Zara (old similar here and here on sale!) // Sunglasses – Ray Ban Aviators

Last night we went out for dinner – a bit of romance before the Christmas mayhem begins. I broke all the rules and wore my new Stuart Weitzman Highland boots with a short, tight, printed dress. I felt quite boho though with my H&M gilet. The boots are incredibly comfy and easy to wear – they made me feel pretty fabulous. I think they are true to size – I’m wearing a US 8.5. I have a pretty wide foot too and, contrary to many reviews, I don’t find them narrow at all.

Boots – Stuart Weitzman Highland // Tights – Marks and Spencers Merino rich tights (LOVE these) // Dress – Zara (this is a medium and dangerously short) // Gilet – H&M (similar here) // Clutch – Boden Canonbury clutch (just $44 in the sale!)

It is miserable weather here today so I am going to curl up on the sofa with a box of Belgian chocolates and watch It’s a Wonderful Life again! What is your favorite Xmas movie?

So Georgia has apparently had 25% more rain fall than usual this summer. It’s always extremes here – extreme drought or extreme rain! The peach crop is suffering with enormous swollen peaches that are having their sweetness diluted – who knew hey? I am suffering with frustrated, cranky kids…roll on school.

I just took them out for lunch to get us all out of the house, and now we’re home they have immediately started screaming at each other, arguing over which movie to watch. Telling them ‘in my day I was happy to have a movie to watch’ oddly doesn’t seem to have much impact. I might have a goblet of red now they seem to have called a truce.

We’ve all had our back to school haircuts and I’m now sporting a true bob. Gone are the sun bleached, dry ends – my hair now feels lovely and sleek with no grays in sight – thank you to the lovely Lauren at Plum Salon. We made her earn her money yesterday with 3 haircuts and a color!

By the way I did ask him to smile, not grimace.
