Hair, a Hat and a Giveaway
I’m sick of my long hair. I know I would be breaking one of the rules laid forth by Patti Stanger in Become Your Own Matchmaker to cut the long locks that the men desire, but after reading the book (yeah, I totally did) I realized that I don’t care. I’m not in the dating mood these days anyway.
You might be confused right about now if you saw this recent Mary Van DAAAMN! post. Twas a wig, folks.
I’ve been reading a lot of fashion blogs. And what has struck me the most in some of the photos was the hair. Strawberry Koi has some great hair tutorials on youtube, but I have a hard time trying them because I have too much hair. I just don’t know exactly what I want but I’ve collected hair inspiration pictures.
I just admire the beauty of the top two, though I know that kind of hair wouldn’t look right on me. The bottom three are examples of 1940s styles with bangs.
Claudette Colbert. I just love her look. And I’m tempted to chop off my hair so it could look like hers in It Happened One Night. Although if I really wanted to look like her I’d have to wreck havoc on my eyebrows.
And this modern vintage starlet is one of the fashion bloggers I spoke of. Solanah aka Vixen Vintage always has such beautiful hair to match her exquisite pieces of clothing. Speaking of Vixen Vintage, Solonah is sponsoring a giveaway of a beautiful 1930s-inspired handmade hat.
Head over to http://vixenvintage.blogspot.com/2009/08/giveaway.html for your chance to win it.
I also love the short sweetness of hair that is on the head of the girl behind heart city vintage.
Although if I did cut my hair short, I wouldn’t want people to think I’m jocking super-talented comedienne Kristen Schaal’s style. We already share the same love for vintage dresses and quirky comedy stylings, and not to mention two studs by the name of Bret and Jermaine.
But I love this short style:
I’m at a loss. My hair is a natural curly mess. With any of these styles, it would take time and effort. But I’m up for the challenge. What’s your vote?

You actually remind me of my mom, now, I need to show you a picture of her when she married my dad in 1949.

I’d love to see it!

I love Colbert’s hair. I don’t have curly hair so I don’t know how a short cut would change yours–but I say a change is good.

[...] Kimberly was super knowledgeable. She looked at the photos I brought in (which was essentially my hair blog post) and told me what she recommended I go with–something in between Claudette Colbert in It [...]
