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 ...

A redhead again and LOVING it!
Well my friends, my mom was right. (As moms usually are!) Once you're a redhead, and you then stop being a redhead, you'll probably never stop actually thinking about being a redhead again someday. And so someday is today! Ahhhhhh. That feels SO good!!! I had my hair dyed red by my stylist a little over a year ago. And I absolutely adored it, for 4 or 5 months. But for a variety of reasons I went back to ... Read more »
Blue eyes, black hair, and celebrating yourself
So I mentioned in my last post that I went back to black hair last week. I'm enjoying the much more carefree routine, including using our fancy rain shower head again, woo hoo! Prior to red, I had dark brown hair for awhile, but I've had black hair more often than not over the last decade or more. And I forgot something about it—it reminds me that I have blue eyes! It's the feature I really like about myself, ... Read more »
Vintage hairstyle trick to hide bangs
A little over a week ago, when I was at the salon getting my color touched up, I decided to have my stylist cut bangs. By the next day I was already regretting it! They're cute but don't feel "me" and even styling around them for a few days was making me angsty. But it's okay, because I've been there before and know how to grow them out. (Why do I never learn. Whyyy.) So my stupid move is your hair tutorial gain, and ... Read more »
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! Yesterday I paid a visit to my stylist Angelica, the owner of Tigerlilie Salon, a great vintage-themed salon in Chicago. 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 »
