...sometimes you just need a day.

I'm Lauren. I'm addicted to chapstick (Burt's Bees please) and beauty products. I love fonts but hate Comic Sans. I love to take photographs and being at the beach. I own far too many cameras, but can't stop buying new ones.

a project in complete narcissism

Ok blogging friends, I need your advice. Do read whoorl? (thank you Sarah) I love it especially on Thursdays because that means Hair Thursday! I’d love to send in my picture and see what she would recommend (I wish I had the eye that could look at someone and see the perfect haircut for them, unfortunately I don’t) but I’m also impatient (she is currently booked until fall/winter 2008).
So onward, I’m in a hair rut. In June I cut it short, chin length. And I’ve been unintentionally growing it out. It wasn’t my plan to, I never really thought about it either way. But I do miss my longer hair. This is what I do, cut it short, then miss the long hair and grow it out, think it’s too long then cut it short, then the cycle repeats. The problem is that when it’s long I usually just put it in a ponytail so it stays out of my face. I would love to find a style that is on the longer side but somehow keeps me from wanting to put it in a ponytail. But I guess what I really want to know is what length I should keep it at. In an act of complete narcissism I have compiled several of my different hair lengths over the past few years. (I’m not really looking forward to posting it but I if I am asking for help, you probably need something to go by.)


|This how it looks now|

This is the hairstyle that I love!love!love!:

I know there are bangs involved. I think I have mentioned before that I’ve toyed with the idea of bangs, but have never followed through (thru?) because 1. that’s a big change and I haven’t had bangs since I was 11 (maybe it’s time for a change) 2. the hair near my face is curly (yet easy to straighten) 3. It wouldn’t be the quick, shampoo, dry it for less than 5 minutes and out the door, that I’m used to (but it probably wouldn’t take long to straighten bangs) 4. If I hate it, it’s a pain to grow bangs out (but I like the long sweepy ones so maybe it won’t be so bad)

Because I love polls…please vote. Another idea? Leave it in the comments.
