Glad that the haircut got itself sorted, rs. I never have much luck explaining to a stylist what I want. I just sort of wave my hands around and mumble a bit. Pictures don't help, since I generally choose pictures based on whether I think the lady in the photo is pretty... not whether she looks anything like me. :p

Me too!
Often I bring in a picture of Jane Fonda.
As most hairstylists appear to be 12 these days, I never LEAVE looking like Jane Fonda.
Currently I am growing the whole mess out. Would like to have blunt cut bob in manner of Anna Wintour without the bangs.
Sadly I fear this will not happen as I do not have her budget.
 
I was just at the Longchamp site and after being wooed by the sneakers (anyone tried them?) I have spent entirely too long at the Le Pliage Personalizer. Oh the possibilities! Black with pink lining, Green with yellow lining. Where have I been? How did I miss this? It's a Prepster dream come true. And so dangerously affordable...:sad:

I am venturing into the world outside Hermes...it's very exciting. The funny part is that now a $2,000 bag seems like such a bargain. :rolleyes: There are some surprisingly nice bags out here! I've been lured by Bally too, and Valextra and some terrific American makers like Shinola.

Diversity is key.
You can have waaaay more bags if they're not all H.
Which terrific for junkies like us.

Just went over there and played around. I've got a couple of the personalized nylon bags already, but the leather ones (with the lining) were not up on the site previously, so there was never the option of choosing a lining. So much fun! I designed a really pretty bag... red with a pink lining... but I didn't go through with the purchase. It was certainly affordable, but I'm trying to limit my bag purchases this year. Sigh...

Probably wise.
 
Thanks for shoe love, all.
Were a gift, some time ago.
Obviously, from person who knows me too well.:biggrin:

I did this, too.
UNTIL grew hair out for 6 months. And idiot cut my wavy, thick stuff into a sling bob.:shocked:
Now photo MY hair. When I like it.
And include my own head in the stylist photo tour.:lol:
Tragic.

Cute cut! Agree, wispy or no bangs would be nice.
Though thick fringe is on trend this year. As are chili bowl cuts. And green haircolor.:eek:
Is your hair straight? Mine would need flat ironing & products to look as hers.
Which I won't do. And tell stylist immediately. To avoid any high-maintenance cut misunderstandings.:no:

Stylist has green hair. That's enough for me.
Hair is pin straight except for spot at back of neck.
Strands thin but there are many of them still, thankfully.
Until I had kids I never left the house without perfect BIG hair.
Now I lucky if I can dry the back.
My mom was a beautician for 20 years before she was a travel agent so I know some stuff about hair.
Sling bob? Would this be the Kate Gosselin circa 2007? Now known as the "can I speak to your manager" cut?
Sooo not suitable to thick wavy hair as it would sproing everywhere.
Light face framing layers, or a blunt cut, or the "Farrah" if you use a blow dryer.
I have ditched so many stylists that insist after 5 minutes they know my hair better than me.
 
Morning fellow islanders! I am in the emergency department of the local hospital as hubbie has nasty cough that caused me some concern.
In addition to lack of lovely bags to keep me occupied, there is this lovely sign.

It is a mo smoking sign: ATTACHED to an ASH TRAY.
Hilarious.
Hopefully we will be seen soon. I hate being around germy people.
