Celebrtiy Hair Inspiration

For the majority of my 20's this was my hair--



This pic was back in 2008... maybe 2009, a cute "shag" of sorts that grazed by jawline. It wasn't anything revolutionary, but it served me. Then, after turning 30 I decided it was time to shake things up and go short, ala Stella Tennant





True, not an exact haircut copy, but the general idea was inspired by Stella.  I rocked this cut for several years. Then I saw Scarlet Johansson at the 2015 Ocscars:



And decided it was time to for an edgier do' but took a Tilda Swinton approach:




And like Tilda I then started lightening my hair and ended up with my current blond locks:


Fun right? But, I've started to notice that a lot of middle-school aged boys share this look, ala Justin Bieber:



As you can see, it's still a Tilda-strong style, but it's also getting kind of floppy for me:


So I've decided to play down my edgy look, and am once again seek direction from celebrity style.



Basically, I want to chop off the "swag" party of my current cut. Even though it is super cool, it's also a bit "muppet"-like, which of course my baby girl loves, but can come across as sloppy.  The pixie sported by Jean Seberg is a straight-forward and fresh approach. 



Michelle Williams is a more current celeb that has been rocking a dynamic pixie cut for years. I'm going more for the left-hand style of this spread. 


But, of course the ultimate pixie-style star is 1960's Mia Farrow! I really love this look, and it was what came to mind when I started contemplating a change. 


My cut is scheduled for tomorrow morning, so check back later next week to see the results!

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!   ...

Rent the Runway Wedding Vote

I may be on vacation at the moment, but I'm thinking of the future, in particular the wedding I'm attending back home next month. A ton of high school friends will be there. Some I am dying to hang out with, while others I'm hoping to make a bit jelly... Regardless, an outfit is required. I mentioned the idea of wearing a summer suit in this post . But now I'm feeling more of killer-blow-them-away dress.   I'm also thinking I may have to call in the big guns and utilize the services of Rent the Runway .  1.   Elie Tahari   Love the pattern here. The user reviews & pics lead me to believe this will be quite flattering on my body type.     2.   Kate Spade   This is so groovy and I love the use of a statement necklace in this look. But, I'm wondering if I'm not attracted to the overall styling of the picture for the website or if I really like the dress on its on.     3.  Milly ...
