Important Decision

I’m getting my hair cut, and I think I’m going to splurge and get a color as well.

So the question is…

Blonde?

Or brunette?

Blonde?

Or brunette?

Right no I’m leaning toward Zooey, but I kind of think it’d be kind of fun to have curly blonde hair as well… Hmm. The only thing I know for sure is I’m going all out for bangs. Not wimpy sweep bangs. Actual bangs. I’ll keep you updated.

Adorable People

Have had these pictures sitting on my desktop for a while and just haven’t had the right opportunity to share them. I saved this first one because the girl reminds me of the stylish chicas in Barcelona with the short bangs and fussed-over casual style. I have been thinking about cutting/highlighting my hair a bunch lately, as it’s been…well a good 6-7 months since I last had it cut. I’m thinking I might keep the length but layer it a bit more, and also do some blonde/rust highlights. But I think I’ll hold off for a while as it feels kind of good to be saving the money, and also–as I told Drew–I don’t want to waste it on all these suckers in Chicago! ;) I might wait until the summer at least…which crazily enough, is only a few short weeks away!

A little wish list

Okay, gift guides are coming…it’s just been a little crazy lately. I thought I would at least post this little wish list of my own first, and then go from there. So, begin!!!

1. Remember those fashion plates that you had when you were little that you scraped a colored pencil against to come up with little fashionista illustrations? Well, I was rather obsessed with those things, and I really enjoy this t-shirt that pays homage to a fun pasttime. :)

4. These pillows because the corn on the cobb apartments are my favorite buildings in Chicago!!!! I so want to live in them if I end up here next year…

6. This robe from Target. I just bought the blanket version for my bed last week, and I am in love. I seriously have never felt anything so soft, and Todd assures me that it stays that way after you wash it. Yippee!
