St Tropez Hair, Scottish Weather

I’ve wanted to lighten my hair for a really long time. I dyed it a deep reddish-brown over a year ago, and as I patiently wait for it to grow out, I’m taken by a feverish desire to go light, light, LIGHT! Friends have said that my hair-moods reflect my state of mind, and I think, to an extent, they’re right!

A while ago, I saw that Rachel Bilson had unusual colouring, and then about a week ago, I saw this piece about Leighton Meister and immediately made an appointment at Daniel Hersheson to get uplights or ‘Baliage’...

I have come to realise (after the Hair Horror of 2010) that it is worth not cheaping out when it comes to hairdressers, and Amy proved me right. She did a beautiful job, and I’m absolutely in love with it! Hooray for sun-kissed hair in rain-spattered, freezing-cold weather!

Haircut Heartbreak

A few weeks ago, I had the most heart-breaking, soul-destroying haircut. If I learned anything from the experience, I would say, do NOT, under any circumstance take a book to the hairdresser. I was so engrossed in The Living Doll that I paid no attention to what was going on behind me. It was a mistake that resulted in a style resembling ‘The Rachel’ circa 1995… I am ashamed to say that I sobbed for the loss of my locks. Like Sampson, unmanned by Delilah, so was I robbed of my power by some ‘bubbly’, Australian wench.

Each time I look at it, crassly layered and unruly, I get depressed, and thus am considering going short. I was desperate to grow it long again, but if there was every a good reason to have the chop, here she is…

Half-asleep Thoughts

Working as an intern, I spend all day thinking of things to blog about… Ever night this week I’ve arrived home with only enough time to eat, shower, struggle to keep my eyes open during an episode of Frasier, and then fall asleep. It’s not the work that kills me, it’s the HOURS of commuting. It’s soul-destroying. However, I promise to get my act together soon… On the mean time, here are some pretty things to enjoy…

This is how a tattoo ages well

And this is how to make a bun look new and interesting

I would love to live in a house that opens into the wilderness...

And there I would have a bathtub in front of a fireplace!

Comb, Backcomb, Pile-It-High...

Because I'm very behind with the times, I've been looking at the S/S10 couture shows... The clothes are one thing, but the hair and make up are out of this WORLD.

Dior... Marie Antoinette meets the contents of a sweetie jar... Makes the movie look like child's play...

Chanel... Lady Gaga did a little bow, Karl did it better...

Trying This At Home!

The S/S'10 show by Christian Dior has one major highlight for me... The Hair!

Jak&Jil took these photos of the models pre-show...

My GOD! I can't wait to get my hands on some curl clips so I can try this! The result is so chic…

As a side note, I totally bought these socks in Topshop several seasons ago... Don't you love it when that happens. Oh, happy, cyclical fashion, how I love you...
