in three words:

tights.

sequins.

layering.

pixie cut.

*jean seberg + pixie cut*

tomorrow i am taking a trip to my hairdresser to look into hopefully getting a pixie cut! i am excited + and i am a bit anxious. it has been a looooong time (sixth grade) since i had my hair this short. and i cried after it was done. this time though, my hair will be measured to see if it's long enough to be donated to locks of love {i so hope!}. i'm excited for a new 'do + i will miss having long hair. but it will grow it out again and i'm looking forward to dressing more feminine + wearing fun lipsticks to balance the short cut! plus, how can i be sad knowing that my hair is going to such a great cause?

update.

*miz mooz clogs*

whew. i have a lot of catching up to do, don't i? somehow summer became a blip, fall is no longer on the horizon but HERE {can i get a hurrah?} + nyc is now a distant, but fond memory... i promise to post some photos tomorrow of the trip, but in a nutshell, nyc was fantastic- i think it has to be the most energetic + exciting city in the world! my best friend dine + i crammed as much sight-seeing, people watching and eating as we could, but i'm definitely ready to head back...i always say, i left my heart in san francisco. but nyc kind of stole my heart...

on another note, i did want to follow up on the miz mooz clogs i had bought awhile ago- i love em'... they are not only comfortable as heck but they elevate this short girl a little more than three inches- which isn't a lot i know, but i'll take what height i can get! even though it's technically fall, it's been a good transitional shoe and i've been pairing it up with jeans, shorts + lots of dresses. maybe i can squeak by wearing these shoes for another month...fingers crossed{because you never know about the weather around here!}.

clogs.

*miz mooz hazel clogs*

clogs seem to be all the rage right now... and would i love me some swedish hasbeen super high peeptoes? boy oh boy would i ever. i've tried to convince myself that they are worth every penny spent because they are quality-made, comfortable and i'm pretty sure they would compliment almost any dress, leggings, shorts, and skinny jeans that i own or would ever wear. but at over $200 they're a wee bit out of my budget right now...(boo hoo).

after searching quite awhile online on etsy for vintage clogs and i think every possible online shoe website for a suitable substitution, i came across some miz mooz clogs on sale for $79.99 at piperlime. plus i had a $20 reward coupon to go towards it so for the money i'm dishing out, i really can't shake a stick at them. i'm still awaiting their arrival, so fingers crossed they'll be perfect.
