Fashionista: Why Melted-Caramel Highlights Feel So Right For Fall

Fashionista: If you have naturally dark hair and are feeling an itch to try something brighter, you may think that blonde is the only option. While a buttery balayage can give that sun-kissed effect in the summer, come mid-September, it’s a warmer, more subtle melted-caramel color that everyone’s asking for.

According to colorist Chad Kenyon, a caramel tone — think pale brown with flecks of gold or cinnamon — is the prettiest middle ground between blonde balayage and chocolate brown. “Caramel tones look amazing on girls with darker hair that want to go lighter without going blonde,” explains Kenyon. “The end result is so fun for fall because it’s multi-dimensional, and often reads as glossier than a bleach blonde.”

Ahead, find your visual guide to melted-caramel highlights, plus up pro tips on how to ask for it at your next appointment.

If you have a deep base color and want to add a lighter tone without committing to single-process, take a cue from Kenyon and try a subtle caramel-maple face-frame highlight.

–
If you’re trying to wean yourself off blonde highlights, ask your colorist for a light brown or dirty brunette. Colorist Lauren Burke recommends a golden caramel. “You can go super pale with tones of brown, and still get that brightness and dimension that reads more natural on dark hair,” she says.

Colorist Tom Smith, out of London’s Billi Currie Salon, calls a light brown with red undertones “gingerbread caramel,” which is what you’re seeing with the piece-y babylights here.

–
For the most low-maintenance introduction to caramel color, keep the palest golden-brown tones focused around the face or at the ends of the hair, like this blended tone on London-based actress Jade Ewen. “You’re looking for a combination of warm brunette shades with pops of light pieces,” explains colorist Chelsea Bulte.

The cool part about caramel highlights is that a soft brown next to a dark brunette base makes your natural color appear shinier. Burke recommends a balayage blending technique for the most seamless shade transition. For visual, use this stunning closeup of model Lorenza Izzo, colored by Aviva Perea.

If you remember the cold brew hair-color trend from last fall, this look, out of NJ hair salon Urban Waves, proves to be strikingly similar in terms of the caramel highlights ribboning down the hair.

Lutsen Wave Season is Just Around the Corner – Lutsen, MN

Lutsen Wave Season is Just Around the Corner – Lutsen, MN

by | Oct 2, 2020 | events/locations

A show from Mother Nature, and a free night! Wave Season is just around the corner, take it the views from Lutsen Resort!
November 1, 2020 thru November 30, 2020
–
Legendary Lutsen Resort was the home of the Nelson Family for more than one hundred years. In 1881, Charles Axel Nelson immigrated to the United States from his home in Norkoping, Sweden. He came to Duluth and secured employment as a tug boat captain. From his travels on Lake Superior, he became fascinated with the wild and rugged beauty of the North Shore. The land that now constitutes Lutsen Resort was especially appealing to “C.A.A.,” as he was called. At that time, the mouth of the Poplar River formed a suitable harbor for small craft— providing protection from the winds and waves of Lake Superior; and the hillside was not only picturesque, but also a fine building location and a good source of lumber.
_
C.A.A. filed for a homestead and erected a cabin on the hill above the lake, at the site of the present Main Lodge. He plied the waters of the lake and worked the land as a fisherman, logger and trapper. As these enterprises prospered, C.A.A. brought his brothers and parents from Sweden and enlisted their help in enlarging the family business. C.A.A. named his growing homestead “Lutsen,” commemorating the battle of Lutzen in Germany where King Gustav Adolph II was killed. Thus, the resort and the town received their name.
_
In the early days, supplies were delivered by boat and supplemented by garden products and domestic livestock. A long dock was constructed, extending out to the large rock. Passenger and freight boats generally “hove-to” off-shore; they were met by skiffs, which then carried passengers and freight to the dock where they were unloaded. When the last boat of the year came through in early December enough supplies would be stocked to carry the operation until the following June. Mail was delivered by boat and later by horse-drawn vehicles.
_
The present Swedish-style Main Lodge, with its hand hewn pine timbers, ornate carvings and massive fireplaces was built in 1952. It was designed by Edwin Lundie, a prominent architect specializing in Scandinavian design, who received an award for “Exceptional Architectural merit demonstrating timeless characteristics of the thoughtful and considered design.” The conference hall was added in 1967. In 1988 the resort was sold to Scott Harrison and Nancy Burns. In 1993 they began developing the cliff area west of the Main Lodge with luxury log cabins overlooking Lake Superior. In 1998 the Poplar River Condominium development was started on the east side of the Poplar River. In 2005 the Cliff House Townhouses were built in the location of the original Cliff House.
_
Recently in August of 2018, the resort changed hands. It was purchased by North Shore Resort Company, a family company owned by Bryce Campbell and his mother, Sheila. As with any new owners, the Campbells intend to add their own touches to the resort, while maintaining the extensive legacy.

Of all the things that are “back” — schools, bars, football, leaf-peepin’ — only the latter seems both pleasant and unlikely to spread the raging global pandemic.

For peepers, a godless bunch if there ever was one, their de facto bible, the DNR Fall Color Finder Map (see below) has opened to its most-hallowed page: peak color on Minnesota’s North Shore.

So pause your doom-scrolling and enjoy this early sampling of leafy majesty, mostly sampled from the northern point of the Arrowhead Region. And FOMO not, foliage freaks: Peak color is still days away for peepin’ hotspots down Hwy. 61 like Palisade Head, Split Rock Lighthouse, and Enger Tower.

Fried Chicken is All We Want to Eat Right Now… and a New Crop of Restaurants Are Here for It

Fried Chicken is All We Want to Eat Right Now… and a New Crop of Restaurants Are Here for It

by | Sep 25, 2020 | eat/drink

 Chx Minneapolis/Facebook

As restaurants continue to open, many are focused on crusty comfort food. Fried chicken claims the dubious honor of being 2020’s favorite food!

Eater Twin Cities: There isn’t much the world can agree on right now, with a global pandemic launching a legion of armchair epidemiologists, pundits, and educators, but even as the dumpster fire of a year drifts on, there is one sign of hope. It is crispy battered, fried, juicy, hot and readily available: fried chicken.

These new eateries are opening with focus place firmly on crispy, hot, juicy, bird with a couple of vegan approximations of the dish to make this comfort dining even more inclusive.

 

Chicken Republic – Minneapolis

Opening on September 30, this new fried chicken-centric restaurant is a part of a virtual food hall from Luke Shimp, who also owns the Red Rabbit and Red Cow restaurants. There are several online only restaurants to delivery food around the metro area. Chicken Republic will serve fried chicken sandwiches on brioche buns and whole fried chickens. The chicken will be available dipped hot, sweet and spicy, basic, and more. There are also vegan chicken fingers on the menu.

Chx – Minneapolis

Walk-up ready chicken fingers and crinkle cut fries are available from a window at Uptown’s Pourhouse. The menu is lean and focused with buttery biscuits rounding out the offerings. There are no fancy rubs, no flavor options to choose from, just simple, comforting crusty battered fingers and a line down the street. Orders are only available on site for now, with plans to expand to delivery in the future, once they get caught up with the current high demand.

Nashville Coop – St. Paul

This new St. Paul restaurant on Snelling Avenue has been sporting lines out the door since opening. The business went from the most popular new food truck of the season to a permanent location earlier this month. According to the its owners, the popularity of this crispy fried fingers served either on their own with a side of fries or in sandwich form, are causing a strain on chicken suppliers. Open for lunch and dinner, the chicken often sells out. Order it gently spiced or crazy hot, with a couple of spice levels in between.

A seriously spiced, crispy fried chicken breast dominates a buttery bun with pickle rounds on the top and bottom with a layer of slaw on the bottom. Juices are dripping off the sandwich and pooling on the plate.

Ope! at Saint Dinette – St. Paul

Saint Dinette in Lowertown has been pivoting all over the place in the era of the new now. Currently, the eatery is running a pop-up called Ope! that includes a selection of Minnesota-friendly dishes, including seven layer salad, tuna noodle casserole and fried chicken tenders. Served with the requisite ranch on the side.

Wendy’s House of Soul – Minneapolis

Newly relocated restaurant has brought its signature soul rolls to a new part of North Minneapolis. Also on the menu are a collection of saucy and dry rubbed wings, also available as part of a meal deal with waffles, whipped butter, and maple syrup.

Several containers are overflowing with wings piled up and covered with different sauces. A doughnut sits in the middle of the table, a nod to the location inside Glam Doll Donuts Northeast location where B.A.D. Wingz will open

B.a.d. Wingz

This is the second restaurant from Gerard and Brittany Klass. The duo also own Soul Bowl, known for neo-soul food as well as some legendary fried chicken sandwiches. The new spot operates inside the Northeast Glam Doll Donuts. On the menu are both chicken and some vegan wings to appease all lovers of fried things and a side of ranch.
