I found a white hair the other day.
well my coworker found it while we were talking, she was like 'oh look a white hair!' and I looked and it was the weirdest thing. it was white at the tip of the hair, but then about 1/4 of the way up, it went back to my brown color again. also the white part of it felt almost like fishing line.
I get one of those at the very top of my left cheekbone. translucent and oddly strong. I'm also not sure what its terminal length is; I usually catch it and pluck it when it's eyelash length, but the times I've forgotten about it, it's gotten to nearly an inch.

was weird.
Edit- wait, no, my dad's was the other way around (brown ends, grey/white roots). There were some strands that went over all at once, but mostly it was gradual. If my hair is anything like his I'll start turning inside of ten years depending on stress.

Alright my fashion friends.
I have a haircut appointment in one hour and still no idea what to do with my hair.
I do not even have my old favourites list of fashion and style blogs and tumblrs. Gimme a hand here.

I'm 26 and I don't think I've found a grey hair yet, but I shed so much hair I wouldn't be surprised if I just missed it at some point.

The real issues start when shedding them just had them growing right back. Fuckers.

Did some research for inverted triangles. Ya'll are right. I need skirts that give more oomph on the hips.
Also going to try to find a few peplumtops and see how they look
e: and my clicking around told me that I should avoid skinny jeans afterall, unless I wear shoes/boots to offset them and that bootcut was best for me. boop boop.
aaaaaand that I should get lil belts for skirts
This is probably a bit late but irt the fur: I felt similarly. I've got some hand-me-down fur neck stoles, I'm the third person they've been passed down to. I felt really odd at first but I have worn them on occasion. Because 'nobody wears fur anymore', 'especially in LA', it doesn't often get cold and fancy enough to whip them out so no one has ever assumed the fur was real. I figure the animal has been dead a long time and it would be wasteful and disrespectful not to use them at least once in a blue moon.
Nothing is as warm as fur.
I had the stoles clipped around my purse one night, it was getting cold so I clipped it and wrapped it around my neck. I didn't have any other jacket with me, only the dress and the stole and hot damn did that thing warm me up, and it was essentially a wee little collar. Something about the placement of it around your neck, right above your core, really raised your temperature. I actually started sweating and had to remove the stole. And again, it was only glorified fuzzy necklace, my arms and legs were still bare and that dress was still pretty flimsy. I have never worn a synthetic material capable of that, especially one that did not make you look like the Michelin man, barely mobile underneath.
You can also spill soda all over a fur and the soda disappears. I still don't know what happened with that.
I can't condone the horrible methods the fur industry uses but I don't feel so bad about vintage furs anymore. Those stoles are at least 40 years old and they are still going strong and look brand new, and I only recently learned about the use of plastics in our clothing.
I feel like I use hella coats of nail polish sometimes, when other people don't
how the hell does anyone get away with just two coats of polish?? It's so rare that I'm able to do that with anything. Then again, I hate seeing the white bit of nail under the polish, and I try to do thin coats so they dry faster.
Also-also I just tried the "scotch tape" method of doing nail tips and it was a giant sadness. Apparently my freehand method is better for me?? Who knew!

World as Mytha breezy way to annoy serious peopleRegistered Userregular
do you guys think you could help me replace my favorite flats ever? I feel like I've been on a quest to find something comparable for like two years straight now to no avail, so it might be a long shot
they were lucky brand, the shoe name was "honey"
my favorite features of these shoes that I'd like to find again:
soft leather (or will soften up over time)
demi-wedge heel (SO HARD TO FIND)
pointed toe
not shiny
I even emailed lucky directly to find these shoes again. woe is me feets

I found these earlier but they're a little on the pricey side
edit: three awesomes and two margaritas have tipped the scales for me. I bought em. you've done good work here, you three
So my last attempt to buy a new bag for work online met with dismal failure.
However, I've been granted a second chance:
The only sticking point is that I just spent almost $2000 on vet care for my cat so money's a little tight, but man, I really want a messenger bag and this one looks pretty nice.
That's a pretty sweet bag. I'm digging the color-changing stitching, that's an awesome little detail.
Also massages are basically the best thing. I got one on Friday, and it was quite a way to cap off a busy week. Just hang out, relax, and have someone work out all the tightness in your muscles? Yes please.
So I thought I was the only girl I knew with hairy toes and a little patch of hair on the top of my foot but I learned from my friends today that they shave their feet and toes. I didn't even think of this as an option! But I'm probably going to be too lazy to keep it up.

It's pretty easy to do when shaving your legs, if you do. Adds like half a second. My problem is remembering to do it.

Not going to lie, my mom coming in from Russia to visit me is sort of making me hope she's in the mood for some shopping.

I'll probably get told I'm an idiot for saying this, but those shoes are fucking ugly.
