3.29.11 No more Zooey hair

The last photo of my hair before I chopped it off. And I'm glad I did it because it wasn't looking so 1960's anymore. I didn't really get much of a good photo after the cut because I was a little in shock. The guy who cut my hair straightened it and it looked "too hip" as I kept mentioning. I had him chop a little more off one side so it didn't look so perfect. I wasn't entirely sure why he left it straight when he was done, other than to see if it was even. But I didn't want him to because I don't really have time to straighten my hair.. And I guess I just wanted to look myself. I made him cut it a little asymmetrical. And because of that, and the fact I have naturally wavy hair, it could almost look 1950's-60'ish.

I wish I could blog more, but realized I started this off being really into beauty. And I'm trying to tone down how much product I've been using lately because my skin has been really bad. Thanks to elf and their newsletters, I remembered that the oil in Vitamin E capsules are perfect for moisturizing my dry skin. I'm really trying to give my face a break right now.

Last weekend, my bf took me on a random trip to Palm Springs. We didn't even have a reservation, but I knew I wanted to stay at those Mid-Century Modern boutique hotels. Unfortunately, the one we were able to afford was booked so while driving around and thinking of stopping by a Travel Lodge, we stumbled upon a vacancy at a cute B&B called Rendezvous.

That's where the second picture is taken from. So this post won't be entirely out of sorts, I'll talk about that trip next time. It was really fun though.

After watching Conan, I had to post this short on here. It's Eva Mendez's directorial debut and it's cute. What sold me though was the title, Christina Ricci, and Eva Mendez. I just love the combos. And I don't mean to quote Conan on the combos part, but I've always loved Christina Ricci as an actress, and, Eva Mendez is so ridiculously talented. Since Hitch, I've always thought she was so classy in an old Hollywood way, and goofy in a contemporary way. Plus, I love anything that involves California or just LA in some way.

11.6.10 Personal Stories

I'm going to reveal a little detail into myself. I don't like to wear pajamas. I tend to sleep in a lot of what I wear during a day. Mind you, a lot of what I wear are leggings. It's an unfashionable statement to wear sometimes, but it's true. I love the feeling of leggings. It's a stretchy pant where you don't have to unbuckle the top when you've eaten too much, or you can exercise in it afterwards when you have. I've been noticing lately that I've been collecting extra pairs when I go out shopping for clothes. Or when I see them on sale. In different brands, and sizes. I prefer the super long ones in black and I've noticed the H&M ones eventually wither down. Don't judge me though, because I do wear regular pants. I just tend to change back into leggings as a part of my pajama.

So I was recently gifted a pajama set. I love the color. It's red with flowers on it. A lovely button down shirt and loose pants. And then I suddenly remembered why I wear leggings as my pant. The loose pant twirls around my legs when I move around. And then I have to keep adjusting to be comfortable I don't really like it. And so because I'm currently on sleep deprivation, I ended up watching Lost in Translation. This might sound a little off, but I love how Sofia Coppola imagines her characters to be. I love the soft look of her heroines. They almost look so effortless. Maybe except for Marie Antoinette.. but I cannot wait for her newest movie. I had to post this (maybe just so this entry wouldn't look so bland). I also have a thing for the luxury of LA lifestyle so I really can't wait to watch this and wear my favorite striped t-shirts:
