Its All In The Hair

Monday, February 1st, 2010

I’ve been meaning to post these pictures for EVER. But you know me. Lazy + Too much going on + Lazy = LATE POSTING!

So, back in December I was the very first person who’s hair Miss Marlee J cut! Woot Woot! She did an amazing job as I’m sure you will be able to see in the pictures.

Cut, Dried, and Styled. Pretty damn hot if you ask me.

I love that I now have an amazing hairdresser at my finger tips!

Then…

A couple of weekends ago, Marlee asked me to come in and be a model for a day so that she could practice doing up-dos on a real person instead of her Judy Doll. Humm, have my hair played with and styled for free? SOLD!

Marlee curled it all out and played with it a bit. We weren’t sure what to do with it all until we watched a styling video and were inspired!

The hair style they showed was done on straight hair, but Marlee compromised.

Rock Star Hair.

I absolutely ADORE the hair style she did.

There were so many great ones on the styling video we watched, I can’t wait for her to do my hair for the next big event I have to go do.

If there is anyone looking for an amazing hair experience I HIGHLY recommend going to Marlee. You can tell this was her calling in life. She is amazingly talented with a pair of scissors and a comb!!!

I can’t wait to go back!

The Fashion Blog

 Outfit Alert

I have been toying with the idea of starting a fashion section on my blog now for quite some time. I’m sure you’ve heard me mention it before in different mediums. Fashion is so much a part of my life, even if I don’t consider myself  a ‘fashionista’, so it only makes sense to dedicate a blog to it. Well, that is finally what I am going to do.

I became inspired yesterday and have created a project for myself that is going to last a year. Its going to be called ‘365 Outfits a Year’. I don’t want to give too much away but I’m sure you can imagine what its about.

Along with the project I am doing, the blog will also feature things that I have bought, styling idea, fashion tips, trend forecasting, and just general fun things about fashion.

Alicia has already started an awesome fashion blog, and I’m not about to go out and copy her, but I think that even if we do talk about a few of the same things it will end up coming out differently since we both have different styles. Plus the main feature of my blog will be the 365 Outfits project. But I do LOVE Alicia’s blog and the way she puts together outfits.

I have set the launch date to be Jan 1 2010, that way it will be easy to count out all the days. If it turns out to be a success I may carry it on for more then a year, but we will see how it goes. I am very excited to put the website together and explain my mission.

I guess it is safe to say that for the next 28 days I am going to be quite obsessed with setting everything up.

2010 will be the year of Fashion.
