The Hair Files: Fred Segal Salon

Welcome to another episode of the hair files.  I got my latest color and highlights done at Santa Monica’s famous Fred Segal Salon and I have to say, I’m pretty into it!  If you read my blog, you KNOW how picky I am with my color and I definitely don’t let just anyone touch it so when I was offered the chance to one, try out such an awesome salon and two, get my highlights done by the owner, Matthew Preece, I jumped at the opportunity. Matthew has devoted clientele that includes LeAnn Rimes, Brooke Burke, Jamie Pressley and even Tony Robbins so I knew that I’d be in excellent hands.

I wanted to go a bit lighter (shocker) and after Matthew suggested that he first lighten my base, I definitely got a little nervous since my hair sometimes turns a bit red at the base if done incorrectly; but Matthew assured me it would look awesome…and he was RIGHT. He lightened my base just the right amount and then put even lighter highlights over the base color to lighten up the hair around my face.  The verdict?  Happy.

Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic Los Angeles

So yesterday Nadine, Lindsay and I went to the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic Los Angeles.  For those of you who don’t know, Nadine is somewhat of a polo expert and when I heard about this (free) event, I was super excited and even more excited to go with someone who can actually explain what’s going on to me. Before yesterday my knowledge of polo came from “Pretty Woman” as a result of the one scene where Julia Roberts and Richard Gere go to a polo match and they stomp the divets while Julia wears a perfectly 90s brown dress with white polka dots.  I imagined a similar scene…minus the polka dot brown dress, obvs.

The match was in the Pacific Palisades, which, I never even knew existed.  Amazing.  I love when that happens.  It’s this like magical little town at the top of a mountain in Santa Monica…who knew?  Anywho, we had to wait a bit at Will Rogers Beach for the shuttles to get us and bring us up to the match since there wasn’t enough parking at the top of the hill.  Nadine and I went right for the champers as soon as we got inside and sat under the lovely Veuve Clicquot umbrellas to watch the match.

I have to admit, I still don’t know much about polo but I do know that I support any sport with hot men, horses and daytime drinking.  You can come to expect more stories from my adventures in polo sometime in the near future.
