Red-y, set...

Taylor Tomasi-Hill. The inspiration behind my sudden change in hair color. I actually have plans to go lighter... brighter! 

Top knot...not top notch

In a previous post I have conveyed my love for this type of hair style. But I think I called it high messy bun? Anywho, this is me messing around on my camera phone (sorry, I'm not a fabulous/luxurious blogger w/ a dslr) wearing a recent purchase. I also have to apologize for the untidiness of the background... Need to take some pics outside. Seattle has been having gorgeous weather. Summer, are you here?

Bang, bang.

I was in New York last week! My trip involved a lot of eating, drinking, shopping, walking, and exploring (the usual). This trip was my first time back since turning twenty-one. So with that said, bar hopping around Brooklyn and the City was a must on my list of things to do. I also indulged in some vintage/thrift store shopping and discovered a fabulous faux-fur vest!

But before this recent excursion, I somehow built up the courage to cut my own bangs. It's definitely a new look for me. I've never tried anything this drastic in over ten years. I'm still getting used to it.

Looking through all the pictures I took, I am really missing New York. Need and will go back soon.

I like big and messy buns and I cannot lie

Buns high or low, messy or clean all look great. But I prefer the high messy bun.

The old me is dead and gone. Well my old hair anyways.

So I got my hair cut yesterday at Vain Salon in downtown Seattle. It had been over seven months since I did anything to my hair. My hairstylist Cassie told me she also cuts or trims her hair semi-annually, so I didn't feel too embarrassed about my initial hair consultation. Now that my hair is finally cut, I feel refreshed and I have a sense of an "anything can happen" attitude. The hair style from the past is now dead and gone, along with the bad memories that accompanied that hair. Hopefully happier times are to come with this new hair style of mine.
