After four days spent in fall-like temperatures last week, my '-ember' spirit has officially kicked in. It's funny how wearing your favorite jeans and a long-sleeved shirt can do that to you.

Unfortunately, I'm back in Austin and temperatures are still averaging 90+ degrees. It will be another month or so before that cooler air I felt in Illinois reaches central Texas, but the taste I had is enough to keep me in an autumn state of mind.

One of the things I'm really looking forward to this fall is darkening my 'do a bit. I've tried going brunette a few times in my life and they've all been horrendous attempts (not to mention hella damaging to my locks when I went back to blonde), and I'm taking a different route this year. This time around, I want to add some heavy low lights. 

I tend to take screenshots and bookmark links and print out pictures of what I'm leaning towards to show my stylist. She's great at listening and gives the best consultations, but I'm bad at explaining what I want ... thus, I show.

How would y'all describe the below pictures that have piqued my interest and made my 'look book' for this week's appointment? Honey lowlights? Buttery? Caramel-ly?
