lavender + black

Still experimenting with studio lighting...
Vintage tunic, complete with wrinkles.
Lavender tinted hair is my solution to eliminate yellow tones and add an icy ethereal-ness.

I got my mom using the lavender tint. She said when my sister n law was visiting she used it and swore it turned her scalp purple.
Whatever! (insert eye roll)
I always love your hair.
There is a coworker who keeps hinting I should cut my hair. Tempted to shave it off just to prove a point.

Love the lavender hair!!! I like that it is very subtle and is an addition and not a distraction!

Love the tunic, and the lip colour. Is it an orangey red? my nails are a shade like that at the moment.

It's too bad that seamstress &#($ up your leather pants, because they would look awesome with the lavender hair.

huge fan of your hair cut and that lavender colour! your hair stylist must be an artist - the platinum blonde and how the lavender shines through... (not like "look at her, she's got purple hair") perfect and very avant-garde. i'd definitely keep it for a while - stunning!

designerbinary,
chanel lipstick #37 is considered to be a fuchsia but has a hint of warmth. it's my new red.

I love the lavender tint! I was looking at it first in your ensemble. I love your minimalist style, you can pull this off because you're so feminine. You are so Belgian in your style: you're like the Antwerp 7th! Or 8th??

Because you keep everything so focused, so neutral, just the littlest hints of colour really are amazing. Like designerbinary asked, is it an orangery red? You're like living sculpture: this isn't just a self style blog!

Have a lovely Wed dear friend: I can't believe thanksgiving is tomorrow! It is completely ignored here, but I will be celebrating and this year, especially thankful.

vintage tunic's should never be ironed. it should be a rule.

liking your new hair - color looks shiny & clean which is rarity in group of "extravaganza hair color".

this outfit is ideal (especially for the miserable weather)

i would probably wear tights instead of leggings (well depending what I had underneath anyways)

I like your pastel-y hair too! very light = good.

Yes! Exactly, I hate that yellow glow that my grey hair used to have. It looks amazing on you! Love how it comes out with all the black

FASHION ICE said...

i am obsessed with your hair!!

Mika said...

i've always though lavender tinted hair works so well with black outfits. yours is no different. looks great!

Faux Fuchsia said...

Love the lavender tint!! And love how you mix your high end designer clobber with your less 'spensive stuff. Hooray x

Your hair cut is very cool! Love the tunic, wrinkles and all.
