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.

Jean Seberg in Breathless

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...

Rent the Runway to the Rescue

So after the semi-disastrous dress vote from last week I took the stiletto by the heel, aka reserved this Slate & Willow dress from Rent the Runway for the wedding in July. Slate & Willow I had my eye on this as a possible outfit for the Tilda Swinton event I attended last month (fancy I know!) But, ended up going pretty casual since it was just a film screening. An AMAZING screening, but not a dressy affair nonetheless. Anyway, this striped sheath has so many good reviews from a variety of fellow renters in all shapes and sizes, I didn't see one unflattering user pic, so I'm fairly confident this frock will serve my needs come July. And here are some pics of former rentals over the last few years: Nanette Lapore Elie Tahari Elie Tahari Robert Rodriguez Halston Heritage Interesting in renting something for yourself here this summer, use this link , to get $20 off your first rental.

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look. And now for your viewing pleasure Sweet Dreams: Have a great weekend!
