I am so happy with the warm welcome during my short time so far in the blogosphere. You never know what to expect when you start something new. So a major thank you to everyone who has been reading my blog so far! I am glad I don’t go unnoticed. 

Talking about being noticed, I recently got an email from Stylefruits UK with the awesome news that I’ve been nominated as an Insiders Tip on their website! The person that gets most votes will get a banner on their website for a month. Here’s what they wrote about me:

“This blog has quite a bit more than a dash when it comes to all things fashion related. 25-year-old Iris is relatively new to the blogosphere, but we have no doubt she’ll boom over the next few months. With a unique style of writing, gorgeous photographs, and what seems like a never-ending supply of clothing, a dash of fash is a great read and we can’t wait to see more.”
Such a lovely thing to say!

♥ ❤ Now of course I need your vote! You can vote over here: ❤ 


 ♥ ❤  And while you’re at it, please vote for my look in the Blogger Battle! ❤ 


This blogger battle is definitely turning out to be a neck-and-neck race! Winning will mean an interview and a personal section on the website, so of course I’d love to win!
 
Of course there is something in it for you too, which I’ll announce in my next post!

As you may notice my hair has changed: one of the benefits of my new job – designer at the holding company of a couple of hairdressing salon chains, woah moutful, but I don’t know how to put it otherwise – is that I can have my hair cut and coloured every once in a while. This was the first time for me, so I decided to go with something a little different than my usual dipdye. My initial idea was to get a greyish lavender shade, but unfortunately this would mean bleaching my hair. After my ombre experiment about a year ago I now know that my hair will end up completely fried. So I went with a different shade of purple. I actually really like it, since it’s quite subtle and not wham-shabam-in-your-face purple. 

I also had my hair curled a little, which happened hours before taking these photos. I am amazed to see how my usually very straight hair stayed this curly.

What do you prefer? One colour or dipdyed hair? Straight or curls? Do you like to change up your hair every once in a while? Let me know in the comment section!

So obsessing over this new Disclosure album. Already a classic in dance music.
