Eva Cassidy - Fields of Gold

sometimes you have one of those days when only dressing up will do, even if you don't venture further than your local town! yesterday was one of those days, and i gleefully donned my previously unworn dress, victory rolled the sides of my hair AND gave myself a rolled fringe that perhaps bettie would be proud of (maybs)!

i love wearing my hair in a 1940s style - it always gets compliments and is surprisingly easy to do, once you master the pincurl/victory roll! it's also unerving how DIFFERENT i look with the hair swept from the sides of my face and with a little rolled fringe (i'm almost thinking my face looks REALLY round and doughy?!).

ps. i hope you enjoy my feeble attempts to try and make my photos look more vintage-y!

what do you think of the vintage/pinup look? have you ever tried it?

For My Lover, Tracy Chapman

so today, as whilst wearing my fail-safe classic red (Revlon's Matte 006 Really Red), i decided to victory roll my fringe, as an ode to my best friend claire over at little love.



she faithfully and admirably wears her victory rolled fringe proudly out of front doors (which i am terrifed to do!)! let's just admire her drink sipping skills!



things are a little peculiar at the moment - new year means very much a new me, in all the dimensions! i don't have resolutions as such, just one really.

- DO WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY FOR ONCE.

(and of course, the usual; lose 7 pounds, up my skincare routine, exercise more, revamp my wardrobe - but the aforementioned is the ultimate goal!)
