You haven't seen the last of me!

Hi, all!

This is definitely not going to be my last post before New Year's. Nope. No way. I plan to squeeze in at least one more update before I take off for my holiday festivities in New York. Wee!

I am shocked and awed that 2010 is already coming to an end. It seems like only yesterday, I was making my 2010 resolutions... whoopsies. :) The year flew by! And a few fun things have happened in the past few weeks to keep me super-busy...

First, I took the LSAT. Madness, sheer madness. I don't know how I did yet, though during the test I felt oddly "calmfident" (calm + confident!). My score comes out next week, so I'm crossing my fingers until then! After that, I'll nose-dive into all those fun law school applications...

Second... I adopted a shelter kitten! I've been dying to share this for the past few weeks, but have been so busy chasing her around! She's quite an active little monkey. Her name is Chloe, and she will make her official debut on my blog... soon!

Next post, I will share some resolutions, and perhaps even recap Ip & Audrey's past year... it's been fun! Also, I'm excited to share a CSN Stores product review! It's the first one I've done for them (though we've hosted a few giveaways before). I ordered a pair of shoes and am so stoked for them to arrive and to share my little test drive! Woo-hoo!

In the meantime, I plan to check out Black Swan (for the costumes by Rodarte, of course), and maybe get a new haircut. Nothing says New Year's like a fresh crop! Here's a look I'm currently considering...

These pics of Olivia Palermo, from January's Spanish Vogue, are downright gorgeous (except for the whole smoking thing), so sixties and mod. She reminds me of my beloved Audrey in her seminal role (you know which one; if you don't, glimpse my blog header!). I love the idea of shoulder length hair, though on me, I don't always like the execution. But this is only a few inches shorter than my current style, so I might be brave and undergo a snip! If I chicken out, I'll probably just wind up cutting bangs. Again.

Till next time, then... Ciao, bellas!

Gratuitous Hair Shots!

Some of you have already seen my Flickr page, and therefore know that I went ahead and cut my hair. Ok, this isn't exactly newsworthy, but it counts as news in my little world: I got my bangs back! Truthfully, I loved 'em for about a week... now they're kind of a pain. They get a little fluffy and frizzy in the heat... My stylist warned me! But that's ok, I just pin them back when they annoy me; no biggie. At least it's nice to have options.

So here is a little "photoshoot" of my haircut, taken shortly after my salon visit. Doesn't your hair always look its best when you're fresh out of the salon? This is why I took a ridiculous number of photos-- I need a reminder of how good it looks on those days. It's always good to document your best hair days, I think... just like how we fashion bloggers document our favorite outfits!




My head is transparent!

Moving on... Our CSN Stores giveaway officially ended last night/this morning at midnight. I'll be reviewing your submissions and selecting a winner later on today. The winner will be notified via email. Thanks to those of you who entered! I've really enjoyed reading about your favorite fall ensembles; it actually makes me look forward to a little chill in the air... I can't wait for chunky sweaters and boots! It will be a welcome respite from all the humidity we've had lately, though I will miss the fun and freedom of summer.

Oh, and I've got some fun pictures to share from my weekend rendezvous with Emily! So stay tuned...
