A FURRY ANNIE HALL
God it feels like forever since Dan and I went out to shoot pictures!!! It’s very sweet that some of you have tweeted and emailed me for updates on my blog. NBC is still monopolizing most of Dan’s time, but it’s all cool because it’s for the Olympics (woo go Canada!). I feel like after so long of not taking pictures outside, I just have this bottle neck of outfit ideas that I’ve had to write down lest they get eaten up by the black hole that I call my atrocious memory. Thus far, I’ve accumulated 4, 5 pages of notes, so I’ve been productive!
I’ve been pondering lately about my hair. I really want to do something to it, but not sure what. I’ve pretty much done everything to my hair. I’ve been blond (yes you read right), black, and the dark brown I am now. I’ve donned the thick Susie Bubble esque blunt bangs, the side sweep, the bob, and now my default lazy hair. I’m thinking of cutting it right above my shoulders a la Chloe Sevigny’s new do…or even something shorter and messier like Alexa Chung’s. The problem is: I have super straight hair (yes I know ‘cry me a river Vanessa’) that is incapable of looking ‘messy’ or bed-heady. What to do, what to do??
Aren’t these pants brilliant??? I found them in a second hand store in Kerrisdale when they practically called out to me like a beacon of awesome-ness in a rack full of rubble. Unlike my two other pairs of vintage leather pants, these ACTUALLY FIT! perfect cropped length, a textured waist (do I see Leopard???), and snaps in the back that cinch in to <gasp> give me a semi-womanly figure! The snaps actually popped a few times when I was coming in and out of Dan’s car and I immediately thought of Snoop Dogg’s song ‘Pop it Like it’s hot’.
Store update: I’ve priced and created an inventory list of the items I plan to sell. My web designer says the store is basically up and running. It just needs to be populated. Woo eeeee!
And yeah, who is NOT obsessed with Annie Hall?

Wooooow, amazing details in your outfit! I’m totally in love with the colour palette, and what’s the store called in Kerrisdale?! Time to check it out as I have time off during this Olymipc break
I loooove your hair though, its amazing as to how straight it is. Perhaps you can opt for a digital perm? It’ll allow for that bedhead look <3

I totally feel ya on the hair thing… I have straight hair too, and you have no idea what I go through (wow, some violins for me) to give it some semblance of volume.
I think the new Sevigny cut would look cool on ya, but it is kind of weird because it’s got that look like she did it herself or something– so jealous of how effortless she always looks! But you should go for it! I don’t think it’d be that big of a shock that you’d hate it or anything.
Looking great as always!

Love Annie Hall, definitely a style inspiration.
I stopped dying my hair in 2007 after dying it at least once or twice a year since I was 11… oh, hair. Nowadays I just leave it alone XD

I am loving the leather pants with the blouse! I have a similar look I posed a week ago with a leather skirt and white silk blouse. I also wore leather leggings on a recent post. I love your style and just started following your blog =) xo

The pants are awesome!
I think people with non-straight hair want straight hair and people with straight hair want something different. When I was younger, I used to have straight hair that it would be hard to tie it up because the hairtie kept sliding off. Now I have wavy hair and it’s harder to get straight hair.
Or to pull of hairstyles that require straight hair..

i definitely think you could go shorter! adding layers will put a little wave in it, if you scrunch it and use a wave enhancing spray or let it dry in a loose bun/braid.
and i love how well you pull this outfit off. those pants are a F

Obsessed with Annie Hall and other Woody Allen flicks? That would be me. Isn’t it wonderful when you find the perfect-fitting pants at the thrift store. So rare but you’ve definitely hit the jackpot with those lovelies!

You would seriously look SO F’ING HOT with blunt bangs. You have really defining features (nose and cheekbones), and I know that type of hairstyle would really accentuate them.
