To the lovely turtlenecks in the world,

Alas, I finally understand why you were created and put in this world: to keep my fragile neck warm on chilly days from h-town to chi-town and to help me channel Funny Face Audrey every day. Yes, I understand why you were the uniform of the Beat generation/movement and now you mean everything sleek and chic. 

I adore how your fabric hugs the lines of my neck, elongating and slimming, you help me channel a stylish giraffe. 

Why, your minimalism and comfortableness makes me squeal and dance with joy (see below). I pair you with a pair of lovely red pumps and I am ready to charge, calmly and steadfastly down the road.

Your presence makes me feel confident enough to barge into Anna Wintour's office and demand a job. She'd take one look at my stylish, black turtleneck and hire me on the spot. For I am always in style, when you're around.

Oh how you make me so shy when you are around, making me feel like the princess that I am. I can't seem to bring myself to look at the camera.

Short, Shorter, Shortest + LUSH

(gratuitous photo of me because I'm feeling myself.)

Lovelies,

It's is wonderful to be speaking with you all again; I've literally fallen off the Earth and pulled myself back onto this fertile ground because I had something so important I felt like I needed to share with you: I'm cutting my hair. Again. Shorter.

Indeed, I've already cut my hair only a few months ago, and I've recently got this untamable urge to cut it shorter! It must be shorter!!!

I'm not too sure why I'm suddenly wanting to cut my hair so much but I'm just going with the flow right now, just following my instincts. Following me heart. I'm doing me. Let me live.

Have I mentioned, that I've been obsessing over LUSH products? Because I have. They make my skin so lusciously soft like velvet, like silk, like cashmere, like all the most luxurious fabrics. Here's my daily face routine:

1. Aqua Marina cleanser
2. Imperialis Moisturizer
3. Tea Tree Toner

and occasionally
0. Brazened Honey Mask

Apologies that I've been slacking off; I'm working on school and trying to get my life together. I've been applying to fashion mag. summer internships and also working on my study abroad application. I'm going to Florence, Italy, did I mention? So excited and scared and nervous for what will happen next. Life is so unpredictable.

I'll let you all know how my life and hair goes.
I'll try to post something new and original and actually professional, soon...
Or maybe I'll invite a guest blogger, who knows? It'll be a surprise.

Goodnight, kittens.
