New Hair Colour: Electric Purple

I got my hair coloured earlier this month and thought I'd share some pictures since I love it so much. I picked something unique that would still be office appropriate yet not quite tamed. In the right light, this colour is extremely vibrant <3

::why::

I've adored purple hair ever since I got mine dyed for cos-playing Psylocke at Fan Expo one year. However, I've had to wait some time until I could do it again, one of the reason being my wedding and another is that my hairstylist simply refused to do it until she thought that my hair was healthy enough. 

::the process::

I had to endure 6 hours at the salon so that the shade I want would turn out (which is another reason why this had to wait for so long, it always eats up your day.) To get the effect that I want my hair had to be sectioned off and bleached, a slightly longer process since I have thick hair and lots of it. When the bleaching is done, the colour is applied and we wait for the colour to set. Alas, after it is washed the colour is then locked and you get this gorgeous electric purple :) 

::my thought::
I would do my hair this colour in a heart beat! I've gotten lots of compliments from strangers on how lovely this is, yet I've had people not noticing this until a couple days later (mostly male coworkers~) This particular shade managed to be both fun and work appropriate~~ :)

::question::
What's your current hair colour and why?

My New LV

My current obsession has been wallets and small purses. This wallet is the newest addition to my collection.

Louis Vuitton Zippy Coin Purse Monogram Empreinte in Orient. (wow, what a mouthful!)

::why this wallet::
Originally, I wanted to find a cherry red wallet, but once I set my eyes on this blood orange zippy, I almost immediately changed my mind. I decided to keep looking in case I found something else, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. In the past few months I've gone to see this particular zippy a couple of times at the LV store (sounds like a stalker, right?) At my lowest point, I've tried to find replacement and have made a few purchases along the way hoping that they would satisfy me. But before I knew it, this was the only thing on my mind. Despite eM's disapproval, I just had to have it. On June 10th, I finally bite the bullet and purchased this beauty on their website.

::on the outside::
The leather feels really nice and durable with its gold metal hardware complementing the red leather beautifully. Overall, I find this a very elegant piece that is both simple and captivating at the same time.

::on the inside::
I am delightfully surprised at how much fits in such a compact wallet. There are 4 credit card slots, 2 pockets, 1 business card slot in the middle and 2 large compartments. In my case, I am able to fit 8 credit cards/id cards, a couple of folded bills, some coins, my car insurance paper and still have room for receipts and transit tokens.

::the question::
Is it worth the $700CAD price tag that it came with? Unfortunately, I cannot answer it honestly right now since I've only had this for about a week and I am still in my love-struck phase. As of now, I've really enjoyed this pop of colour in my purse and the smile it brings to my lips every time I see it. :)

Salut, hello, 你好!

I'd like to welcome you to Geek Ella mode~

I've previously done a beauty blog under a different name, but in recent months, I've decided to start up a new blog.

As we grow older, we change and I would like to blog my life as a reflection of this.

Geek Ella mode will be about more than just beauty and skincare. Even though I am still a makeup junkie, I am also a gamer, amateur photographer, self-proclaimed foodie and a little bit of everything else. I'd like this blog to be about everything I'm currently obsessed with in life.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you'll join me in my little adventures.
