Guest Post: Things I Like Right Now

Here are six things I like right now...

1. Short hair & strong brows. I envy girls who can pull off this look.
2. Michelle. One of my favourite Beatles songs, it has been on repeat lately.
3. Odilon Redon. Seeing his work in person is something that has to be experienced.
4. Crumpets. Served hot with raspberry butter, mmm...
5. Steven Alan Fall 2011. Very ready for South Africa's winter to start--if only for the opportunity to dress like this.
6. Bicycle Portraits. A beautifully photographed and incredibly worthwhile project that hopes to promote cycling as a means of independent transport in South Africa.

  9. I cut my hair super short years ago- a la halle berry. I never seemed to get the eyebrow thing down though. It was nice to have my hair ready in less than 30 seconds, but I'm a sucker for long hair now.

  18. I have strong brows - I wonder if I could pull off the short hair look. hehe

  19. Those short hair pics are dangerous-makes me want to chop my hair off!

    ReplyDelete

  20. I wish I could pull off a look like that with short hair. I love short hair cuts but it's not for my hair or face shape :(

  21. I was so happy when I went to Tealuxe in Boston, because they serve crumpets with clotted cream. . . the first time I'd had either of those things (and holy crap, clotted cream is hard to find in Boston! what is up with that?)

    I'm starting to regret spending three hours one night looking through 25 different shows. . . now I more or less can't remember which one is which. :( I really like the slouchy leopard-print gloves in that show's sixth look.

  22. cool! I really want short hair, but dont have the confidence to do it yet!! love this post! xcx

  23. Michelle is a great song! As a kid, I used to think the song was for me because my middle name is Michele. And short hair I did as a child, and I wouldn't dare repeat it.

    ReplyDelete

  24. aw, i loved the things you listed! michelle is also one of my favorites.

    on mornings where i am in a hurry or just don't feel like putting make up on (hardly wear much as is) i always at least make sure my eyebrows look good- too many people overpluck, you don't need to do much and i love that mine are just a dark or if darker, than my hair. nicely groomed eyebrows make you look good to go even if you don't have alot of make up on!

    aaaand love the mention of odilon redon. wrote several papers about him in my college days. his work is overwhelming in person.

    hope you are having a lovely thursday and i'm enjoying your guest blogging! :)

  25. oh i envy short-haired girls! things would be so much easier to fix in the morning!

  26. Love the look of super shirt hair, I am just too chicken to try it.

    The crumpets look so good too. I think I am going to go make some popovers right now to eat with my homemade berry jam.

  27. drooling. Crumpets with raspberry butter?!? yes, please!!

  31. I like bicycle portraits too. A bike like other things, says so much about a person's personality.

    ReplyDelete

  32. thanks for sharing!

    especially the bike portraits link. my roommate's an avid cyclist and works for a non-profit bike company, and one of my friends is in south africa right now working on research for AIDS.

    i'll have to share these with them!

    The crumpets we buy in the uk are very different looking to these but i'm going to give this recipe a go because they look delish, also someone said they were going to make popovers which i think of as yorkshire puddings and we have those with gravy blimey this is all so confusing!

  48. I've always envied girls who can pull off a sort, pixie do. It inevitably leads to an awkward moment for my hairstylist when I, once again, ask her why I can't have one.
