New Haircut!

I finally got a haircut! If you've been keeping up with my blog, you may have noticed that I haven't had a haircut since...um...March. My friend Tori had an interview at a salon, and she used me as a model to demonstrate her obviously awesome skills. She even colored my hair! I color mine by myself, but I'd never had it done by a professional before.

 

I wanted my hair to look like Nicole Richie's, and now it does! Except redder.  I also like Nicole Richie's hair choices and try to replicate them. We must have the same shaped face or something. (BUT WHO EVER REALLY KNOWS WHAT SHAPE THEIR FACE IS??? I hate that lie magazines tell us)

Well, I've got to head back out to my classes now. Smell ya later.

Back to School!

I'm FINALLY going to start school on Wednesday. I have been looking forward to this for a long, long time. It's amazing that by the time I start, some people will have already been in for a month. Those lucky souls. And you know what's even better than getting back into the classroom and learning about ancient Mayans and British literature? Getting my student loans! Hello, Forever 21!

My room mates and I have been reading more magazines lately, and the Young Hollywood spread from Teen Vogue really caught my eye. Now, I would not have actually purchased this particular issue as Justin Bieber was on the cover. I'm not a pedophile! He's gross. But anyhow, it was sent to my friend's apartment and she didn't want it, and I can't turn down a free magazine.

This spread is very late 60's/70's, which you know I love. I'm also completely obsessed with this first look and I am making a vow to incorporate leopard back into my wardrobe.

Looks like I'm going to be needing more sweaters.

I'm getting my internet fixed on Tuesday so I may actually become a reliable blogger again!

Tragedy

Here are some pictures from my adventures of late:

I know it may seem like all I ever do is go to baseball games...and it's true

I just noticed that creeper behind me.

An extreme game of Scrabble where Eric and I each earned 250 points (and he played "Jiggers")

Carly's portrait of me.

Pin curl explosion!

I found this at the Poland library. I always knew that place was racist...

Did you like those? GOOD BECAUSE THAT'S ALL YOU GET. These photos were taken with my phone, so I hope the quality is okay. I was experimenting with two apps, FX Camera and Retro Camera for some of them. But anyhow, I lost my goddamn purse at my friend's wedding with a bunch of shit in it INCLUDING MY CAMERA! I mean, I know I didn't have a nice camera, but it was still loads better than using my phone. I suppose this is good incentive to actually save up and get something nice, so that I may one day rival The Cherry Blossom Girl in both glamour and photography skills.

Ya, like that's ever gonna happen. Anyone want to make donations?

Also, one of my English teachers has emailed me to tell me I should already be working on a short story for my "Intro to Writing Fiction" class. Okay, if I sign up for INTRO, don't you think that means I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING?! I admit it. I don't know anything about creating characters and writing short stories. So, I'm going to have to devote some of my precious free time to that, and sadly not to blogging :(

Unless you want to read what I'm writing, which I doubt you do. Yesterday I tried to write about a fun night Carly and I had together, and it turned into Carly's character yelling at my character about how she needed to keep on writing and not go back and read what she had already written.

So basically I'm screwed.

I'll upload shitty cell phone pictures of my apartment after I clean it.

Wood for Natalie Wood

Things are going so well for me lately! I've moved into a lovely new apartment with two of my best friends in the whole universe (Carly and Suzanne), and my financial situation seems to have finally turned around! Thus, I was able to get Netflix back, and let me tell you, it was missed.

So, on Thursday night, I stayed in and watched Sex and the Single Girl, a 1964 romantic comedy loosely based on the book, starring Natalie Wood and Tony Curtis. The movie itself was cute, but I wasn't too concerned with the plot because I was staring at all the WONDERFUL COSTUMES AND SETS! I capped some of the costumes and sets for all you wonderful viewers to see the elegant yet youthful magic of Natalie Wood's black and white wardrobe.

But first, I need to tell you about my new girl crush on Natalie Wood. My mom told me to watch Sex and the Single Girl, knowing my love of early 60's fashion, but also because she loves Natalie Wood, and I think that she wanted me to understand that love. And now I do.

Isn't she adorable? You have to see her in action to get the full picture, but I look forward to renting more of her movies.

So, here's all you need to know about the gorgeous early 60's fashion in Sex and the Single Girl:

How do you think I'd look with this haircut?

I was also inspired by this movie to begin wearing more rings.

Lauren Bacall looking fantastic in black sequins.

I need these chairs, right now.

That guy was married to Audrey Hepburn, btdubs.

So now, wasn't that just fabulous? And the best part is that I believe I could replicate that look with items from Forever 21. Where, by the way, I shopped yesterday and bought some fantastic things. And I also bought some incredible lipstick at Sephora. Maybe I'll do one of those haul videos, but I'm not really sure if I'm ready to make my foray into Youtube.

I have a lot of wedding festivities this weekend, and I look forward to taking a lot of pictures and posting them here!

PS: Now that I've learned how to take screencaps of movies, what do you think about changing the format of my blog to focus on fashion in movies? I mean, that's sort of what I do anyhow. But it would just be more official. Yes? No? Maybe so? Think about it, I've got to go hop in the shower and get ready for my big day.

PPS: It's not MY wedding I'm talking about, it's my friends Grace and Jon's.
