getting my hair cut soon.

I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow, the first real one since last summer (hair cuts have been left out of my spending budget). I am still keeping the one side shorter, uneven, 80's awesomeness that I've had and still really do love. I will probably keep it for a couple more months. Here was my initial inspiration:

and my current haircoloring was inspired by coco rocha's new haircolor:

I am definitely still going to experiment with red hair colors. Right now, I have much darker shades but I think I'm going to go for all red. No browns. I was afraid at first that my skin tone wouldn't match red but now i'm certain that it does.

my current inspirations for the shaved side of my head are these:
cyndi lauper and a total 80's dude. Of course i am not going THAT crazy (or at least i don't think i will) but i want to have a design (perhaps a zig zag) shaved in. i wonder if i could pull off a crazy red like cyndi's... that would involve me bleaching my hair though. hm..

alice dellal

Ever since I first spotted Alice Dellal in the it-girl section of vogue, I've been arguing howshe took my haircut. Same side, same shaved area. Even though her hair is considerably longer (and no it does NOT look like a gross mullet thank-you-very-much to the girl who refused to shave my head without chopping a good 8 inches off the rest of my head) and blond, I was adamant against her sporting the same look as me. She dresses like me (except I am pretty sure I'll never wear creepers... but don't hold me to that) in the sense of dress up girly girl vs. 80's punk/new wave/goth big tshirt short shorts kind of way.



So, I guess I will admit it. I do have a girl crush on the Alice Dellal.


This look just screams fabulous. High waist vintage shorts, black tights, boots. I'd probably wear this to a Depeche Mode concert.


Again, love it. And she looks like she's a lot of fun. Maybe we should be BFFs.


Her with Henry Holland. That just rules.

Alice Dellal and I live parallel fashion lives. Too bad she's a model and rich and famous and whatnot. I'm sorry Alice for ever judging you.

sometimes i feel like a waste of oxygen. sometimes i get this anxiety of sitting still for too long, for things to be too normal and too mundane. in times like this, i begin to reach out, to search for something new. but how to get enough of that motivation (anxiety?) to do something about it??

pull out the sewing machine. draw in your fugging sketchbook. maybe it's just too easy... maybe it sucks being an artist sometimes.

inspiration, inspiration, inspiration...

the informers

so i finished reading the informers last night by bret easton ellis. a book about the decadence (a word i kept seeing in book reviews, etc) of los angeles and the fakeness of the whole scene. it was good... scattered and random, but just like a valley girl would be. and the new movie is coming out (www.theinformers.com) which i'm pretty excited about. i imagine the characters in the book looking like



all of them hanging out and doing drugs and screwing and killing each other. can't wait to see the interpretation of the movie.

i am trying an experiment. it involves doing no laundry (no i am NOT lazy and YES i will wash things like socks, underwear, workout clothes) until i go through all my clothes. i have tons, literally PILES of clothes laying around my room that haven't been worn in forever. it's just too easy to put on a pair of leggings and a shirt. i used to be so much more creative... it makes me sad to think all these clothes are just piled up. plus, i'm saving money. it's like a new outfit everyday without swiping my debit card! let's see what kind of outfits i can conjure up. if they're really so awesome i'll have to post a picture.
