After much debate, I got my hair cut. I'd scheduled an appointment for today and was considering canceling it yesterday evening, then miss Vamoose posted a photo of Marianne Faithfull and her perfectly messy yet bluntly cut early 60's 'do. Such perfect hair.

Mine still has a few old layers that need to grow out, but I'm pretty happy with what my new stylist managed to do with my mess of a mane. It looks all nice and neat from the professional blow out but that will end the moment I rest my head on the pillow.

If you're ever in Brooklyn and need a stylist, Aki at Commune is the girl to go to. After over-paying at my last place for haircuts I never felt right about, I'm relieved to have found her.

(Oh and I do not have ombre hair. That is the light from the screen. Ombre hair is one of the absolute most ridiculous trends to emerge this year. I had ombre hair for quite some time due to an unfortunate dye job, why anyone would want such a thing on purpose is beyond me. Do I sound like your mother?)

bangs!

I think I want bangs again. I've finally grown them out enough to where I almost don't need a bobby pin, and now I've got the itch to chop them off. Likely story. But with a new year and a new age, I'm feeling the need for a bit of a freshened up appearance. Right now my locks are pretty blah... they haven't been cut since February (!) as I've been trying with all of my might to grow them long. Chop chop chop! I may do the deed myself since I've never found a hair stylist I can trust. I'm open to suggestions though for anyone good in NYC.

Pretty bangs on Anna Karina, Tennessee Thomas, Zooey Deschanel, Effie, and Hannah.

Grown-out blah bangs on me. And messy scarf hair.
