lookin like a badass 101

i’ve been a huge fan of bandanas for my entire life. i grew up in rural missouri where bandanas are to bad asses as pocket protectors are to nerdos and dweebies. (take note of that, it might be on the SATs).

i’m so glad head wraps and scarves and tied bandanas are on such a hot wave right now, because your most simplistic outfit and boring hair can be turned into “too cute” with one tie.

last night i went for drinks for someone’s birthday and wore me a cute tied bandana and someone told me i looked like a bad ass. now i’m soft and pudgy and have the face of a fucking angel… and i don’t get the bad ass thing very often. 

on top of being a grade-A coolio, a head wrap can make you polished and can hide the worst hair days. summer is a great time to tie one on and head to the bar.

( i wanna learn how to tie one like this… if anyone knows, give me a holler)

shear summah time sass

ah my little pretties, it’s been far too long. i know you’ve been weeping while singing love songs into hair brushes about me while i was gone. fear not, lovers, i am back.

i was in a class for the winter/spring and it sucked the life out of me.

was i valedictorian? nope - in fact i had to look up how to spell that word, but goddamn it, i had the best hair in the class and always came prepared with tea and a smart-ass witty comment or two.

while i was gone it became summer. my favorite and most dreaded of seasons. i love that fun things happen in summer - like drinking and passing out in parks-, but gurl my hair hates summer. i am a fan of soft wind and a brisk day… sweat is never good for a girl with bangs. oh but here, i got a new hair cut… it’s dare i say “boss”?

my color is dope, i know. everyone needs a summer pick me up and i definitely will ride this until fall.

so summah sumpin sumpins… here they are:

marisa tomei - you have my heart and that 90s winoa-style hair is to die!

this hair cut screams for bold and awesome lipsticks… i want to paint the SHIT out of this girl’s face

wild curls are my favorite and i’m so glad they are instyle. get a cut that gives your babies some height so many people want to tame them down… you are doing yourself an injustice!

also - much love to my blog admirer Attractivity. your shit is awesome and you made a follower out of me.

cheer up charlie

y’all, it’s been a long time. let’s not dwell on it.

i have kept my eyes super peeled for hot new looks on the street and to be honest, i am DISappointed. have you guys not made your spring hair cut appointments yet? are you still rocking the winter hat? have you forgot that the sun exists?!

snap out of it people, you’re bringing me down! give me something that’s fun and cheery and new! show me your pics!

i know i just cut my hair, but i might have to grow it out a little bit to get this SUPER cute short bobby!

trendy trudy and the gang of trail blazers

so a new year has bloomed right before our very eyes, my friends.

2012.

god damn.

i feel like only yesterday i was listening to soundgarden and putting all my hair up except two little whispy bangs that would frame my angry face.

where in the world will hair go this year? is it possible that style will come back and i’ll be all like “ugh, those kids wearing that stupid hair cut don’t know that it’s already been cool”. chances are slim. but here is what i think will happen and in no particular order.

DownTOWN Abby-

now i could vomit in my hand from hearing that freakin show name said (too much press can kill something just as fast as not enough), but i totally dig a well coiffed head of hair, and i think it’s about time we look to putting some effort into our locks. there aren’t many things i’d reproduce from the early-1900s but those framing tresses… i’d do her.

Closely Sheared but Slightly Shaggy Shirley-

long is forever, blah blah blah, but this year is the year of the cut it and forget it girl! if you’ve been waiting to take the plunge this is the year, because everyone is going to reverse mullet this shit. super super short back and longer in the front. i call it the pre-teen lisa bonet. you want some length to get funky with but you love the idea of nothing on your neck but the hot sun.

Undone Eunice-

regblogged: http://www.sheletsherhairdown.com/

now i hear the kids talking about that lana del rey and her perfect locks and that is great, but the way to everyone’s heart is through effortlessly shaggy hair. if you can make all the boys in the yard believe that you don’t own a hair brush, good for you. the smart ones KNOW what it takes to look like you care so little.

now i don’t want to hear no bitching about “haley you didn’t include color” or “haley what about streaks in my hair?”. that is for another time and place because i don’t believe color is big in 2012. i think we’ll see people going back to the ol’ natural look. nothin stark or crazy. i could be wrong. i’m probably not. 

i was gonna write a blog, but then i got high

i’m sleepy.

enjoy some high hair while i… um… relax

dear dolly - i love you and your adorable dimples!

what up, shorty!

change.

i ain’t scurred of it.

but it’s hard to work towards something and then accept that it might not be right for you. i was a long haired small town girl until i moved to chicago 6 years ago. then i found my style. i had no idea that i was not owning my style until my stylist helped me cut it off, it ALL off.

i played around a lot with the short do and then yearned for a pony. so the grow out began. to make it fun i cut it into a cut little asymmetrical hair cut. ladies (and gents) - if you want attention, get yo’self an asymmetrical hair cut!

where i was

where i am. here is my friend kiki

(psstt she got her hair style idea from beehive, no big whoop)

where i am, close up side.

so how’d it come about? oh man … quickly as i’m usually pretty quick to turn around an idea. so i thought to myself what do i love about my different hair styles. i LOVED my blunt bangs but i love not having anything on my neck so i did some digging.

i totally dig the 1920s bangs, i wanted to really push this into my next hair escapade

i love the soft slope of a 70s pixie! look at how perfect hers is? how could i modernize this?

the first idea was something like this; however, ive got a round face (still got my baby fat and then some!) so until i’m thin this is put on the backburner

then i got nervous about length. what was i doing? grow it out for a year just to cut it. maybe i should keep some length and do a modern halo?

and then i got my legs back after seeing an awesome neck like this!

and some funky attitude like this!

other ideas thrown around were:

growing it out, takes hair-t

ive been a bad bad girl.

ive been tempted to cut the growth… and the temptation was too much. i cannot handle seeing a short cut and thinking that its perfection! all it took was one glance at a short haired chick on the bus and i had an appointment with my stylist. pics to come.

hair is like art. everyone has a style they like… complicated with lots of twists and turns or long and fringe like. i LIKE short hair. i look best with short hair, and honey, why WOULDN’T i have it? why would i work for something that is in style now without knowing if it will be in tomorrow. a good hair style never goes out of vogue (just like a wonderful piece of art).

what’s your hair art style?

lip service

man oh man.

HELLO INTERNET

it’s been a while, and for that, i do not apologize.

i was on vacation and it was a beautiful thing. and then i came back to a shit ton of work and it was a hideous, monstrous thing. but guess what, i did get a tan. ME? the whitest girl of them all, with a tan!

i got to whip out some of my “summer” lipsticks and give it another go for the winter. i’m sorry but some lipsticks just need a tan… others just need pale skin… but i dont subscribe to this “red heads can’t wear red” bullshit or “dark reds can wash you out” or “orange lipstick is halloweeny”. i think you need to play around with your lip hues to see what is best with your eyes and hair.

love a nude lip for winter. this is my new shizz. ps - this looks GA-reat on brunettes.

let your hair down

that’s it!

i can’t take it anymore. my hair is straight oo-gly. growing your hair out is the pits. why do people do it? for a pony tail?! yes…a thousand times yes, i want a pony tail. i want the ability to braid it and then let it out and twirl it around my finger.

all of this hair stress has really made me reconsider long hair. i looked dandy with a pixie, trust you me. so - what i’m going to do is go to mexico…. enjoy my thanksgiving…. look for inspiration to work with what i have …. and drink, HEAVILY. come on, it’s getting close to the holidays so let’s all let loose.

maybe if i wait a little bit longer, my bangs will be able to do this… i LOVE this super swept look

hate the lipstick… dig the hair
