stumbled upon this beauty via pinterest yesterday, went looking for more, and found a bottomless pit of amazing hair. seriously. is this shop even on earth? is johnny ramirez real? because i kind of don't remember there being a beachy hair perfection angel in the bible, but i could have missed it... check him out here and call your hair stylist to report you'll be bringing twenty-four pages of inspiration to your next appointment. you know how much she loves that.

this is nice, right? "thoughts? feelings? angst?" 


^this is what my journalism* professor used to say to the students and it drove me nuts. angst is one of those words that gets under my skin. not as bad as ointment, but worse than panties. eh, maybe tied with panties.

styled to perfection

some things we need to catch up on.

1. i am obsessed with learning how to do this. oh yes. i'm going to learn. then i'm going to fishtail all up in yo face. {p.s. is this girl's hair down to her ankles when not fishy?}

2. i have been thinking about this loo all day. do you know how embarrassing it is to admit you think about bathrooms all day? but the art, people. and the texture. and the lavender. and the light. and when you don't have a mirror in the bathroom, you can't even see your pores. {get it? or is that the wine joking?}

3. I have a heart-warming Christmas story to share. Once a girl (me) was making a gift guide for her blog friends (you) and she put these boots on it. Then, under a starry Christmas sky, she found them at her local TJ Maxx for a fraction of the price. And all was merry and bright. 

haircut love

shut the front door. perfection.

a second glance.

i'm so anti-ombre, i can't even believe i'm posting this. but i can't stop thinking about this hair. does this mean there is a happy place? between freshly highlighted and natural woman?

hair color love

 

i think i'm about to take a ride on the richer side of things. buh-bye blonde. you had a good run. but i'm trying to avoid my winter wash-out this year. and maybe when you turn 30 you have to do something incredibly brave. like low-lights (hyperbole).

the bold and the beautiful

short-haired brides! tres chic! I find them so endearing, gamine, and delightful. it definitely makes the face the focal point, so the omg-the-love-of-my-life smile can be center stage. 

i opted for mermaid hair of course, but i say if you're a shorty, be a shorty!
