MY NEW DO.

so as you all have known, i've been talking about dying my hair for months and months and months. well, the color i decided to go with was platinum blonde and since i have box dyed it black for so many years...it was definitely going to be a process, a few interesting in-between stages if you will. well after many many hours of getting to hang out with my friend brandi and the sunchild salon...i look like a sunchild. we still have another couple of rounds to go before we achieve the perfect color but this is a little different and fun for the time being. it's kind of a strawberry blonde-ish, with a seventies feel to it. i will say it has been a little hard to get used to, i keep looking in the mirror & freaking out a little because it is so different. but...how do you like my hairdo?

we will be going in for round two soon soon soon. but hair is fun and meant to be played with! nothings permanent when it comes to your hair. i've had it every color under the sun, with the exception of blue or green, at some point in my life. today is the kiddo's fall carnival at school, it should be fun fun fun! and thank you to everyone who sent in emails regarding my contributor request. i will be sending out an email explaining what it's all about shortly.

 

dress: vintage 1950's. tights: american apparel. boots: hunter wellington.

p.s. thank you again brandi bear!!!! yesterday was sooo much fun. i love yew. 

P.S.

stella mccartney for gap kids...? pinch me, i must be dreaming! look at the little military jacket!!!  ...this makes me want to design children's clothing again. XO.

BUSY BIRD.

i seriously need a little help in the keeping organized & prioritizing & staying motivated department. i am so behind on so many things and it feels like as soon as i get something done, another 10 things fall onto my plate. grrrr... (oooh, just needed to vent for a quick sec.) would love to hear how all of you manage to keep busy and motivated, your daily schedules, etc... any little tips & secrets would be great to hear. thank you oh-so much! :)
 the kiddo's halloween carnival is saturday so i will be making costumes tonight and tomorrow. here are a few photo's from last years carnival.

 

 

 

this year little miss milla wants to be a vampire & julian is still undecided. i hope he lets me know soon so it's not too late.

i'm also challenging myself to crochet my very first blanket/afghan. nerve racking! mine won't look like this, haha...but i would love to be able to crochet like this one day in the near future. :)

i also have a lot of website work to do. for those of you who have sent emails & are wondering about the new site progress and why the site is still not up, let me explain just a little... we had MAJOR site issues with the web guy we hired on to re-build the site. we've sadly had to go another route after more than 5 months of waiting and time invested. very frustrating! but it is being worked on, mainly by me and will be up soon! thanks so much for your patience. :)

well, time to get to work. be back tomorrow with a fun post for you. 

xoxo. j.
