On Friday night D. and I headed downtown to Shag Hair Studio where renowned and beloved Edmonton clothing designer Stanley Carroll staged a pop up shop of his most recent men and women's pieces including ready-to-wear and one of a kind items.
Ok, so on Friday I told you that I was getting my hair cut and colored because it had become so damaged that it looked like a rat's nest/Cameron Diaz's hair in "Being John Malkovich" and I got the impression from the comments that some of you didn't really believe me. So, I took a before and after pic and now I can say I TOLD YOU SO! I have naturally curly hair (that I hate and straighten almost every day) and sometimes when I wake up it looks like the photo on the left. Scary, hey? I'm surprised D. hasn't screamed and/or fallen out of bed when he's woken up next to this monstrous 'fro. I told my friend Sandra (who couldn't help but gasp at my mop) to cut off all the damage and she ended cutting up about 3 1/2 inches off! It feels so much healthier and looks so much better now. I'm sure you would agree?
I hope you all had a great weekend!
Shag was the perfect venue for the temporary shop with it's modern design and urban vibe. I LOVE the brick walls!
Stanley Carroll makes such original and unique clothing. And they happen to be comfortable as well! I tried on a funky tank top I really wanted to take home with me (not the one in this picture) but unfortunately it was too short for my torso.
Oh look, it's cutie patootie Andrew with one of Carroll's coveted menswear creations : ).
Check out his stylish new ankle moccasins he bought at Zara 5th Avenue on a recent trip to New York!
Both Andrew and I were admiring this dress with it's beautiful lines and draping.
The lovely Kelly, owner and hairstylist of Shag (who happens to be a good friend of mine) and the talented Stanley Carroll. Such a nice man! I'm looking forward to seeing his newest collection at Western Canada Fashion Week in the fall. To learn more about him and his designs you can visit his website.
