Mad for Mad Men

I can't wait to see the season premiere of Mad Men Sunday.  As time is evolving on the show, I look forward to seeing the hair, makeup, clothes, and accessories of the period.   I recently read an interview with the set's hairdresser Gloria Ponce.  She is constantly researching how hair was worn by men and women not just at the time but also by location.  New York was not as up to date with styles as California was for instance.  I will be paying closer attention this season to all of the details...

Birthday Girl

Happy birthday to my sweet Aunt... I love cutting her hair-she started wearing the cutest pixie cut long before Emma Watson and Michelle Williams did...It's a classic cut and when done well, looks amazing!

What a Brush

I've been so excited about this brush since I first read about it.  There is microfiber in between the bristles, which cuts down on drying time.  I am hoping they start making them for hairdressers in round brushes-I would love it, as would clients!

The Chanel Tweed Jacket

I love seeing how things are made.  I just discovered this video on the process of making a classic Chanel tweed jacket.  I love that in 2012 so much detail, hand work, and time still goes into each jacket...
 

Eames The Architect And The Painter

I've been on a documentary kick lately. I'll watch a documentary on anything... I recently watched Eames The Architect and the Painter. It is for anyone who loves a bit of history, furniture, design, or living outside the box. I learned so much not only about Eames designs, but the history of modernism. I'll never look at an Eames chair the same way again!

Happy St. Paddy's Day

If I were going out to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, I would paint my nails metallic gold for the pot of gold...

And I'd run to the art supply store and get soft pastel chalk in green. I'd smudge some on the ends of my hair or highlight a braid. It would be the last time you would see green in my hair, but I love a theme!
