New Year New Hair

There's something about the beginning of a new year that makes me want to change up my look. New year, new look, right? The problem is I can't make up my mind what kind of look I want. My first order of business is to get a haircut (new clothes take more time..and money). But what kind of cut do I want and more importantly what will work with my hair's texture and the way it lays? After looking at all the runway shows and trying my best to predict spring hair trends I have decided that basically what I already have (long and straight) is going to be in and lends itself well to the sleek ponytails, messy bunny, and beachy waves that have been storming the runways. However, that doesn't help me much when I'm trying to take myself in a new stylistic direction.

So again after countless wasted hours perusing the internet I have whittled it down to a few different options. You know the old saying, "measure twice, cut once" so I better "look at all the options, cut once."

Parted Bangs

Alexa gets it so right.

Amazing as always.

Bangs (full fringe)
Full bangs always imply that the wearer is super hip and definitely has cool places to be

Rose Byrne is a fox!

Dark Red
Here is where it gets really tricky. I love this look but I don't really think it would look good on me. In fact I'm wondering if the best look is seriously to keep the look I have but then again that could be the nerves talking. I need a stylist.

As always comments are always appreciated. What hair trends do you see coming up?What look are you currently wanting/rocking?

12 Days of Christmas: Day 8

It's the 8th Day on the 12 Days of Christmas Countdown! Days 1-7 have generally been about fashion, accessories, and shopping. But on the eighth day why not shake it up a bit and turn our attention to beauty?

 

"On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me, eight maids a milking."

 

Now in today's day and age not only would be buying 8 women for your loved one be weird it would also be super illegal. That's called slavery and we haven't seen it since the last person was convicted in 1985 (Sante Kimes)...and since the Emancipation Proclamation.

 

Why not instead recreate the look with some of those milkmaid braids that have been all over the runway? (I won't get into the terrible Carrie Underwood look from the recent Sound of music remake, ugh.) While some of these may not be your traditional Swiss milkmaid braids, they still have that same innocent yet tough girl appeal.

 

 

 

Bejeweled hair!

 

 

I love the pop of color!

Tough and sweet.

 

Sephora Surprise

I was scrolling around Sephora's website looking at roller ball fragrances when, suddenly I see that they have a Disney Collection

I mean, seriously, have they had this a long time? Did everyone else know?

But then it sunk in that hey, it doesn't matter who found out first! This is amazing!

But all gifs aside. It's pretty awesome.
