Hi Carly! I just found your blog yesterday and I loved it so much I have been going through all your old posts! (Is that creepy? haha) This may seem a bit strange, but I was wondering if you are Irish. I LOVE your red hair!
The Internet is probably the best place for creepiness! Thanks for your kind words about my blog:-)
I am ethnically Scottish/Danish/Norwegian/Czechoslovakian. (“Cais” is a Czech name.) But both my parents are Australians and I was born in the U.S., so I was originally American/Australian… Well, technically American now since I dropped the Australian nationality off my passport (I have only visited there a couple times and though all my relatives are there, I really just identify as American).
The red hair probably comes from the Scottish and the Czech sides of my family; apparently I have a second cousin in the Czech Republic who has hair the exact same color as mine. It’s tough to keep vibrant during the winter – and as the years go by!! :..(

Fashion Panache – Experimenting Leopard Prints
Red hair is definately in style. If you’re not a natural redhead and decide to color it red, here is a tip to keep it looking gorgeous. Use a good color-depositing shampoo and conditioner. This will prevent fading and will help keep your hair color vibrant. Even if you are a natural redhead, using color depositing products can help infuse your hair with a shot of color to deepen the red and tone it to the color of your liking. Some great products to help you achieve your look are the ClayPac Color Shampoo & Conditioner – Red; All-Nutrient Cool or Warm Red Color + Shampoo, Vitality’s Espresso Color Conditioner – Red; and Tressa Fluid Fire, Crimson Splash, or Liquid Copper Watercolor Shampoo. Choose a product that best matches your hair color/tone. It doesn’t have to be exact becuase these are not like using striaght hair color or color washes and will only subtly tone your hair, but they will definately make a difference in your color.
