My Favorite Things This Week

1. Tween music

It's just so catchy. I don't care if it's Disney pop and I have the play list of a 13 year old. It makes me feel good and isn't that all that's important?

And how gorgeous is her make-up. I want that smokey eye.

2.  Capes.

I loved them last year when they were only made by high-end designers and I'm still in love now they are at Loft.

3. Grey nail polish

Less goth girl than black and previous year's dark purple. Essie's Chinchilly is just the right shade - not too light, not too dark. It almost changes colors in different lights. And did I mention I've gotten more compliments on it than any other shade I've worn recently?

4. Fall

I'm not a fall girl. I love summer. I don't even care if it's hot. I live in the south we grow up on warm weather and sweet tea - a hundred degrees is nothing an AC and a cute tank top can't fix. That being said, our AC is broken so a little cool breeze would be nice. I'm thinking jeans and flip flop weather. Plus there's something kind of fun about getting pumpkins and preparing for all the holidays.

5. This commercial...

I know it's old - it came out in the Superbowl. But I still love my Jetta and I still think this is the best commercial of 2011. And in honor of Jetta's being one of the top ten cars sold in 2011 - this commercial makes my list. Good job VW! :)

Hair Today... Gone Tomorrow?

So first, I'm sorry I haven't written in forever. A little thing called life got in the way and I found myself super busy but I'm going to be better. I hope. So to jump back in, I figured I'd start small...

I've been growing my hair out for a few years now. Luckily it grows fast. I usually go into spurts of cutting it short, growing it out, back and forth. I've done chin length to being able to sit on it (although I was in elementary school then). Now it's about mid-way down my back. Call it an almost 30 crisis but I'm bored with it being straight and just there and kinda want to mix it up. So I've been searching things like "2011 hair styles" and "2011 hair trends" for awhile and this is what I've come up with...

Short

I have no idea who this is. But her hair is super cute. I'm not about to dye mine blonde but have debated adding a few strategic highlights to cover up my four or so greys that keep popping up. I love the bangs but I'm afraid the cut is a little short after being so long for well so long...

So these two I think my hair would do pretty easily. It's pretty fine and very straight. I'm not sure it would even flip like Nicole's without some serious product and time. But I think both of these are a little less drastic than the first and let me test the bangs without full on committing to them.

I know Kristen is back to long hair but this is so cute on her. I've had this photo saved for at least a year. I'm not sure my hair can do piece-y but worth a try.

A little longer bob if I'm not sure I want short short.

This looks a little high maintenance and short but more sleek than the first option.

Ok I'm seriously loving this hair cut. I like that it isn't too short and I love the blunt bangs - although major commitment. I like it's straight but a little messy. This might be my personal fav.

Basically this would be my hair lightened and slightly curled with bangs.

So what do you think?
