Blog Love: Hair Romance

Had to share this blog with you that I stumbled upon via Twitter yesterday (productivity at work gone).
Hair Romance, as the name suggests, is all about hair - product reviews, how-tos for all kinds of hairstyles, tips & tricks for managing hair, and inspirational images. This was perfect timing since I am attempting to grow my hair out and trying to stay strong and away from any drastic haircuts. (I am very glad the Pixie/Michelle Williams post was followed with a long hair/Blake Lively post, otherwise... snip snip..)
Check it out! You can also follow Hair Romance on Twitter.

Time for a change?

I really like this shade of red with the light blond streaks through it. I do like my darker shade of red, but the blond breaks it up so nicely! hmm.. something to ponder.
This lovely lass is Jane from Sea of Shoes.

First Post

Inspired by my workmate Chantelle over at Little Things I have decided to give this blogging thing a go.

Whilst it feels somewhat narcissistic, she assures me that it's a great way to easily keep references on hand.

With this in mind, I did a bit of a clean-up of old 'hard-copy' references I had torn out of magazines over the years, and managed to throw a lot of stuff out. There are only a couple of things I still liked, so I will start by posting these.

Firstly, a random beauty shot from a random magazine, no idea where this is from or what is was for, but I like it. The chalky hair and make-up are beautiful, but haunting at the same time. Gorgeous, shadowy lighting.

Secondly. In my first semester at uni, in art theory, I really got into art nouveau, and eventually did a couple of projects inspired by art nouveau later in my course. In the research process I found some illustrated capitals in a random art book, so here are some badly photocopied and scanned examples of art nouveau typography.
