In awe of ombre

By international standards, I'm incredibly late in jumping onto the ombre bandwagon; I first saw images of celebrities wearing two-tone colour on their tresses almost 2 years ago. But I guess it's just taken me that long to fall in love with the look. It happens sometimes: you can't bear a certain trend, until you unexpectedly fall in love with it. After wearing my hair in what some would call my signature cut for years, I've finally decided that it may be time for a change. A scary thought, because I'm a firm believer in the old adage: "if it's not broken, don't fix it". I love my hair; it's in great condition, it's easy to maintain and (I think) it looks good! But, life is short and hair styles can easily be changed, so I've decided to grow my hair out and see what the fuss over ombre is all about. 

If you'd like to try this trend for yourself but you'd prefer a less committed approach, why not invest in a pair of ombre tights or a dress? I particularly love the idea of an ombre-inspired wedding cake...
