Well, I did it! After talking about it on my blog last week, I got my hair cut over the weekend! I was going for a much shorter 'do, and showed my stylist a lot of photos (including some that I'd included in my last post). She's familiar with vintage hairstyles so I knew she'd have her own ideas for what to do with my hair. What I ended up with is not exactly the quintessential middy cut, but similar. I think my bangs ... Read more »

Dare or don’t: going for shorter vintage hair
Hello, my friends! It's been some time since I've met up with you here! When I last posted, we were in preparations for our vacation to Wales and Paris (and a milisecond in London, which was a milisecond very well spent!). All of those adventures include fun stories and tales to share... but with the turn of events in the world, you can understand why sharing delightful memories of our vacation (especially ones that ...

So I got a little haircut…
Okay, perhaps the post title is a slight understatement. I got a big haircut. Lots of you on Instagram saw this photo yesterday, so here's the blog reveal!

I've essentially had the same hairstyle for a few years now, give or take a few inches of length. While I've been happy with my hair, it ... Read more »
In blues & plaids outfits {and post-haircut}
Thursday evening, I got a haircut, as you know. I went for a shorter version of pretty much my usual, so basically a short middy. I had a long talk with my stylist about how I'd style a curl fluff on top, and she cut my hair so that I could do that, albeit with that layer a little longer as she was worried I wouldn't be able to do much with it if that didn't work out for me. Which is good, because wow, was I all thumbs at ... Read more »
Haircuts and Twitter
Hello all! Today is haircut day. Why am I nervous?I think it's because we're (perhaps?) entering warm weather season here. That will mean lots of heat and humidity, where I live. And in most ways, I am most certainly not a wimp, but I will admit: I am a heat wimp. At the first sign of hot, humid weather I run for hair elastics and scarves and bandanas and anything that will get my hair off my neck faster than you can ... Read more »
Saturday evening outfit & haircut
We're off to my mom's tomorrow. So before we jet, I thought I'd post a quick outfit, mostly to show you all that I got a haircut last weekend! I'd been debating about chopping another few inches off for awhile, and went for it.Now you'll never see me wearing my hair down like this, but you can see the length. We went out with friends Saturday night and I didn't feel like doing anything to my hair after the cut that ... Read more »
