MySwear customizable sneakers
I am SUCH a shoe person. Ask anyone who knows me in the slightest and they will tell you that it's the closest I come to obsession. Simply put, I consider footwear to be the most important part of an outfit and it's the one item that I can never get enough of. It's basically like my oxygen.
Needless to say, I got really excited when Farfetch invited me to design my own sneaker. It was a tough task because the options were quite vast and it was incredibly difficult to choose which color combinations tugged most at my heartstrings.
At long last, I couldn't get my silver metallic creation out of my head: a monochromatic liquid metal sneaker with just a tad peekaboo of copper on the eyelet.
I could stare down at my feet all day while wearing these.
I just got my color refreshed last week and seeing as I get asked a lot where I go for my strand paint, I thought I'd take this opportunity to share this very precious information with you. Having struggled with the elusive task of finding the perfect hair colorist who has a magic talent for coloring blond hair, pretty sure that it is, in fact, my duty to do so. Now this is strictly for color, as I don't have a regular hair stylist. Last time I cut my hair was summer 2014.
When I moved to New York a few years ago, it was very difficult for me to find a salon that didn't charge a gazillion dollars and that actually had colorists who were able to achieve that perfect blond I had forever sought -- as any blonde would know, it is one of life's great challenges. I was complaining about this predicament to a good friend of mine, when she directed me to an interview with Swedish style queen Elin Kling on Into the Gloss, where she lamented about how she faced the very the same problem when she moved to the US.
Having forever been obsessed with all things Scandinavia, I had obviously been a huge admirer of the ideal shade of blond hair that its denizens have naturally been blessed with. But it had never occurred to me to seek it out for myself. Until I read that article and met my mane destiny. I quickly dialed the salon that Elin mentioned and made an appointment with the person they recommended. It was fate.
So here is the info you want: this perfect blond is the work of Omar Solis at the Myrjam Bayoumi Salon on the Upper East Side in NYC. There you have it, my secrets revealed!
