Wicked or Wild about Ombre?

Wicked or Wild about Ombre? by lydia-ffaf featuring L'Oréal Paris beauty products

So when I first saw the ad for the new L'Oreal Paris Wild Ombre collection I thought my prayers were answered! I've been loving the ombre trend for awhile but didn't quite want to commit to a full on salon makeover. So a try at home and wash it out if you hate it type deal is perfect for me! But just the other day I was watching People Style Watch and they said that the ombre trend is hideous. After seeing the examples they gave I'd have to agree. See my compilation of "Ombre Hell" below.  However I can't help but want to just try it. But I don't want to look like a ridiculous mess. I'd love to get the look only if it is done right. Cuz I could end up looking like some of these ladies...

 But I'd looove to end up looking like these ladies...

 

It's a toss up on whether to take this kind of a risk. There is a very thin line between ending up like Rhianna and ending up like SJP. Also what are you thoughts on the completely extreme Christian Aguilera ombre look? 

 Let me know if you've tried the Wild Ombre collection from L'Oreal and if you loved it or hated it!

Lady in Red (pants)

Lady in Red (pants) by lydia-ffaf featuring twist jewelry

When it's dreary outside - much like it is today I love to dress in bright, bold colors. I feel like color therapy applies to my wardrobe. Feeling sad? Slap on some bright yellow and you can't help but be cheery. So here is an example of a bold, fun outfit based around red pants. I've been loving red pants for awhile now but I always do the classic Black & White pairing with them - boring! So here we have an equally bright and cheery yellow with neutrals and some sassy animal prints to accent. Rock the aviators and leather wrapped bracelet to downplay the bold colors. I just love this outfit - so fun and what a great pick-me-up!
