Hair talk

A few weeks ago I permed my hair. The above photo depicts the result after a full nights sleep with no washing. I wanted a perm essentially for the volume and the messy, French, trying but not trying too hard look. Easy peasy right? I soon realised that perms require a whole lotta work. It dries out your hair like a mother frick fracker, and takes a good couple weeks to stop looking like the quintessential Annie. Today, it's a bit better. Curls have lessened, and an all around messiness ensues. (Are we really still talking about HAIR?!?! Yes, now get over it.)

When I was in my cool teens, I used to grow my hair super duper long...then in one huge arse snip, chop it all off. I've done this probably 3x now? Contemplated doing it again, but then there's a wedding blah blah blah. Instead, maybe I should pull a Nikki Minaj or a Gaga and get a wig?

Celebrity inspiration:

I have a love/hate relationship with all things Kardashian. I follow some of them (no, not Kim, I'm an anti-Kim like every other jealous girl) on Twitter but I do enjoy some of their spreads. Kim was doing a spread for Vogue Italia here.

Blogger inspiration:

Jane Alridge from Sea of Shoes looks frickin' awesome in one. And surprisingly really natural too?!

Okay, so it probably won't happen anytime soon, but nevertheless a great alternative to think about if you're ever in the mood for a change but can't get up the courage* to do it. Hair up there paired with some Zara trousers, Burberry trench, Balenciaga bag, Crockett & Jones men's velvet loafers, Alexander McQueen scarf.

*Like ME! in my 'I'm-so-cool-I'm-a-rocker' phase or 'I-want-to-be-Natalie-Imbruglia' phase.

finally some sun

Love Mass' combo here


Favourite Sardinian wine...


Finally got some sun on my skin! The ombre hair has also lasted hasn't it? Surprisingly too after my traumatic hair job the first time around. Tan's starting to fade already....

Today is Mass' bday! Happy birthday big boy! hehe We just got home from dinner and I smell like a barbeque. Will show you why tomorrow. Goodnight!

Got my hair did today. Had some major troubles with my last hair stylist (as you will see in my next posts) but got it miraculously fixed by Taylor Taylor on Commercial Street. Anna was amazing; I highly recommend her as a colorist.

More prominent hair pics to follow. Off to Milan for the Royal Wedding wknd...(kinda bummed that I'm not going to be here) but not complaining!

wash, lather, rinse, repeat

As I'm sure you've seen, my hair has been a bit unruly lately. Splits ends galore, grown-out fringe, hair length down to the small of my back. It needed some serious reworking. I've always been a huge fan of the Japanese hair stylists (well also in almost everything they do because of the attention to detail) and when my old hair stylist in London told me she was moving back to Japan I was disheartened. Luckily my gf acted as a successful guinea pig to ESHK Hair and in came Jackie (pictured above). She lived up to the Japanese meticulous detail.

Here's the final product:

Looks a hell of a lot healthier now doesn't it?

After every great cut is the post-cut debrief. Making her italianese debut, here's the gf referral AND photographer of the next few pics, Janet.





Wearing: ASOS pink top (this shirt wraps around Mass twice), Miu Miu shoes, Stefanel necklace, Current Elliot jeans, Purse from Shanghai, Marc Jacobs sunnies

Isn't she a pretty awesome photographer? I'm sure we'll be having more shoots in the future with her handy work.

We're off to Italy for the weekend. See you Monday with our pics from there!

Have a great weekend.

Ciao ciao!
