Current and Modern. That's me!

The cut: Vidal Sassoon "Tribe."  
The stylist: Charlene Boggins at It's All About You Day Spa
The model/guinea pig: Laura Michaud (fashion stylist/fashion blogger)

Yeah, so I grew my hair out. It was the longest it had been in years!! It grew into what I always wanted. Long locks that I could curl, straighten, braid, bun and twist. You name it, and I could now style it because it was finally long enough.
{this is me before}

The trouble was that I didn't. Style it that is. It's really hard to braid, twist and all of the above. It takes lots of time and effort and unfortunately unlike Rachel Zoe, I am a stylist who doesn't have my own personal live in stylist. And the most I really could do with my long hair was the basics of the basics. Real life seems to get in my way every time!!! (Darn that real life thing!) So recently I was just doing the cute pony tail thing and calling it good. (Fortunately the pony tail is super cool right now;) But today my six weeks were up. This is the amount of time I try to wait between cuts and colors in order to maintain hair health as well as a salubrious wallet. I was really getting tired of my heavy hair and tired of having no time to accomplish the artistic styles that I dreamed about creating now that it was long. Last August I was blessed enough to receive a gift certificate from a special friend to experience a real spa pedicure with Terrie Kennedy the owner of It's All About You Day Spa  and that is where I met the one and only Charlene Boggins hair stylist/Vidal Sassoon hair artist. 

It was almost like Charlene could read my mind!! I went into the salon so ready for a change. I wanted something modern. Let's put it this way. I got exactly what I wanted and much much more ;) 

View the video below for a little inspiration. Keep in mind that these looks in the video are way more dramatic than what you might want in real life.

 





 And this is me now.






In five weeks I am going back for a trim.......and some violet highlights. (Don't worry Mom. They will be very subtle violet highlights.) Charlene would never let me leave her salon looking like a freak.

Current and Modern.
That's me. 

{notice the violet highlights??}

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
