WIWT: Wander on Kroad & the Iron Bank Building

One year and two months ago, I got my hair permanently straightened (the exact reverse of a perm!) and got it dyed. 14 months later, and I'm patiently waiting for it to grow out. It's just past my ears now. UGH. It seemed like such a good idea at the time. The chemicals stayed in my hair for about an hour! So much of my hair fell out in the months after, and I'm not sure if the volume will ever grow back at 100%. Sometimes I am a girl, and have those not-so-great-days, feeling self conscious about it. But anyway, it's almost out, and I'll be feeling better soon. I hope it didn't do any permanent damage.






excuse the perma-messy hair

I'm trying to wear more colour and will be making an effort to wear bright colours in this harsh upcoming Southern Hemisphere winter! I say "harsh" because it'll always feel unnatural for me to experience winter in June, July and August! This will be my third winter down under.

Today, Chris and I had brunch at Revel on Kroad. It felt like we were in some cute, kitschy cafe in Brooklyn. This will be the last of our fancy brunching on the weekend. We're saving for something real big. :) I'll tell you later when the time is right.
