This might need to happen soon

If you follow me on Pinterest, you will have noticed that lately I am pinning a LOT of pictures of short hair.

Like, a lot a lot.

I have a history of getting a big chop every ten years or so, and it's been longer than that now, that I have had long hair.

I really like my hair long, but all through the Fall and Winter I wear scarves and high collars, and let me tell you, the rat's nest that develops after about an hour if I leave my hair down is pretty impressive.  So much so that I am actually ripping hair out in order to comb it through.

This year, this is really getting to me.
SO!
I am thinking about short hair more and more.
Like daily.

These are my favorite shots of short hair right now.
The Pixie cuts are probably shorter than I will go, at least at first, but I LOVE them!
(Plus ten years ago I didn't wear glasses everyday AND I had free time in the mornings to actually DO stuff to it.  Now, not so much)

*All of these pictures can be found in my Short Hair board, with accompanying links*

 I think I'm getting closer to being ready.
There is a lot going on over in these here parts right now though so I need to be REALLY sure before I make any drastic changes, in order to avoid the teenager style freak out if if am not totally sure.
Because that's a possibility.  Haircuts have made me cry before.
Yes, as an adult.

Maybe in the Spring?  Get through the holidays and Geoff's degree first?

Oh How Pinteresting!

My lovely friend Sarah was telling me about how her husband likes to tease her about pinterest.
Geoff does too, but I can't blame him because nearly ALL of my free time is spent oogling over there.

This is not a lot, but here's an example of what I mean... So, Sonny has just gone down to sleep, there is a PILE of dishes/laundry/inventory/whatever-more-important-thing-I-should-be-doing piling up on a counter somewhere but I literally flop into the computer chair and stare blissfully at some beautiful things on pinterest for a half hour or so.  Every Day.

It's not ME TIME so much as it is a few quiet moments to myself to let my brain shut off after a long day.

And I have been thinking about Features here on ye ol' blog and Sarah's "oh how PINTERESTING!" popped into my head.

So I am thinking that I will make this a regular feature, I'll share some of the beautiful images that I am pinning, (be warned, it's a lot of haircuts) and that will be that.

What do you think?

You could pop onto pinterest yourself and check out what I'm pinning too, I'm over there as Jana May!

So without further Ado

Oh, How Pinteresting!

Honestly I did not intend to do a hair post!  But I have been staring at these pictures a lot lately because I'm getting my hair cut tonight and I am thinking of reintroducing the Asymetrical Shorty Bangs!

I have realized that while I love the look of the all one length on others, I really need to respect my lifestyle and it currently does not include a daily hair dryer.

Seriously.

So.  Going to get my face cut out of my hair and embrace curls again!

YES!!

How gorgeous is Alison Sudol by the way??

love love love!

I just found these RAD HAIR PICS and I am feeling super jazzed about a new style.
I have been trying desperately to grow out my bangs so that I can just tie it up out of my face once I am dealing with a squalling infant, but it's HARD.

Ack I just want to rock cool fun hair again!

(I found all of these through Creature Comforts)

Long hair!

Before I cut my hair off again I want to get it to something like this for a while first...

My hair might be too think to pull this off, but I bet some fancy layering technique could do something similar.

I'm currently growing out bangs, so it's living in a series of weird pinned up topknot these days. *sigh*

Soon!

Let me just gush about a few things...

I am going to just have a gushfest right now.
A few things that I am LOVING, in no particular order...

Cute Short Haircuts.
I know that I've gone on about them before, but I am starting to see some REALLY cute short haircuts around lately.
These ladies are all rocking some sweet crops that I am COVETING hard.

THE WEATHER.
It's BEAUTIFUL today, I rode my bike to the farmers market and it was perfect and amazing the whole way. Thank you weather for today!

My Bike.
It's hilarious and amazing. I haven't taken pictures of it yet, because I am still working on it, but it's ride-able now, and just the day before yesterday I strapped a tiny back pack to the rear wheel for a random, makeshift pannier.

AND IT TOTALLY WORKS!

So this afternoon I am going to pick up a second one from Mountain Equipment Coop so I've got a balanced pair. $11 is totally doable.

I have named my bike La Beasty-clette.

I am loving her a lot right now.

The Moss St. Market.
(check out their website here)
Since I just got back from there I am feeling extra lovey towards it. I picked up some beautiful carrots (eating them raw right now in fact) tiny turnips, fresh apple juice, some wild crafted muscle salve, a beautiful tiny little dish to put my rings in at night(from a girl who couldn't have been more than 10), some neighborhood honey (and I'm not even kidding when I tell you it's made BLOCKS from my house. So awesome) some salad greens. And I only took $45 with me!

Oh my god!
So happy right now!

When the time comes...

My hair will look like this...


Oh my god SUCH A CUTE HAIRCUT!!
Ginnifer Goodwin is such a cutie too!

(I wish I could remember where I found this picture. Lately the computer has been crashing when I am right in the middle of things, and I have a bad habit of just pulling images onto the desktop when I see something I like and then a week later, when I clean it all up into my folder - it's Geoff's laptop don't you know, got to keep my random haircut/fashion images to myself!- I have completely forgotten what's on there)

But I am not ready for that yet. I am growing out the bangs again, and I want to rock some long mostly all one length hair for a while.

But I keep thinking about short.

Every ten years or so I shop it all off, and it's almost ten years since the last time it was short.

And I am lucky to be blessed with a husband who likes it on me (it was short when we met!)

I'm just going to keep thinking about it and collecting pictures for my Hair Binder.

Yes I have one of those.

short hair cuteness

Again I have to preface this post by saying that I am not ready to go short again.
But how flipping cute is Carey Mulligan and her pixie cut?



Pretty flipping cute.

Oh Betty

I posted about Miss Betty over on the FGI blog today, then subsequently spent AN HOUR browsing through more of her blog.

So I thought that I should share.

I just discovered Le Blog de Betty through A Merry Mishap

She's gorgeous, has rad style and I am completely in love with her hair.

Now I am getting off the computer FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.
