you buy 'em, we'll fly 'em


I decided to try to put my hair in victory curls again. I haven't done it since I got bangs, but they worked! I never use a curling iron, so it was an ordeal trying to not burn myself... and I did. I have a little scab on my forehead now. Luckily I have bangs so you can't actually see it. Actually, I felt really weird in the victory curls this time, so I took them out after a couple hours. Fact: it is impossible to make your bangs look normal after having them in victory curls.

Speaking of hair: I got an appointment for tomorrow to get my roots done, so I'm gonna be a full-on redhead for about one more month and then!.. Something new?! I can't decide what to do yet. I've decided that eventually I'm gonna go black, sometime in the near future, but in between now and then, who knows! One thing is for sure: gotta be hella low maintenance for the Brave trip. That's right. I said, "hella." What is this, 2005?

It was actually raining while I was taking these photos, I couldn't believe it! Something non-frozen falling from the sky! I feel like such a goon for being excited about rain. I do like rain though. Rain always feels so peaceful. Snow does sometimes too, but if it snows this time of year, all it does is make me feel angry and agitated. I'm glad for the rain, though. Hopefully it'll start making all the brown things turn green. We still don't have leaves on our trees yet, and only a couple have little leaf buds. Summer is trying so hard to happen! It will come soon enough. I can't wait.

. . they aren't victory rolls but they are indeed cute!! I like retro hairstyles! I do hair tutorials on youtube! hehe. Victory Rolls are specifically two rolls shaped to look like a V for Victory to cheer on the troops!!

I love the outfit and I hope you have a glorious day!!!

This dress is lovely. I am really digging the rolls with the hat too! I tried Victory Rolls for the first time this Halloween (I was Rosie the Riveter) and they did feel a bit weird but were pretty easy. I'm not sure if I'd wear them any old day but they were fun.

I've never burnt myself with a curling iron but I have with a hair straightener which is just as bad....
those things get so hot :)

I love your dress. It's just the right combination of demure and wild child.

Your hair is cool also.

Dress Rehearsal

Jenni said...

that dress is so beautiful on you. And the victory curls with the hat. fantastic.

I love vintage hair styles. My friend style up a bunch on me before I got my bangs for a pin up calendar I put together... and I am so hooked. Super Kawaii Mama has some great tutorials on different easy and low maintenance vintage hair styles if you've never checked her out.

If "hella" is 2005, then the Bay Area has been stuck in a time warp for the past five years.

tess said...

adorable hair! I would never have the patience for that so I commend you, it turned out well.

ps read your previous post. You need to read John Steinbeck's memoir, "Travels With Charley" about his cross country trip with his dog, Charley.

LyddieGal said...

Your red hair looks so amazing with the turquoise dress! I love it, and the curls are adorable!

Chic on the Cheap

Julia said...

I'll be sad to see the red go! I'd love to try it myself, but I don't have the coloring, sadly....better luck next life, i suppose! Your curls are too cute, though!

Angie D said...

Aw, I love it! You look darling, and it all goes together (like you didn't know that!)!! Great color on your vintage dress :)

I vote redhead all summer! It will look great with all your summer clothes!

Tiffany said...

I straighten my hair almost every day, and almost every day, I burn myself... my forehead, my neck, my hands... SOMEthing! =P You'd think after doing this for nearly 6 years, I would have figured out how to do it without burning myself.

Your curls look awesome!

Rosie said...

I just love this dress and your red hair matches fantastically!

Trishna said...

This dress is simply breathtaking. and I love your curls. :)

Clare said...

Awww, the bangs are so great!!

idée_géniale said...

yoah, love your hair like this! Looks super hard to do though... victory rolls or not,sheesh, people take things so literally!

Glad it's warming up over in your parts!

MOUSEVOX VINTAGE said...

Your hair looks adorable like this!

Red is just about the most difficult color to maintain. It fades so fast. You looks stunning as a red head, though!

Jolly Josi said...

Lovee the dress

Ollie Otson said...

I love this whole look. So bright and colorful!

bestie said...

I've always adored your hair, and those curls are so terribly cute! I always get excited about the rain, too, but for completely different reasons. Haha. It's just so damn hot here that any kind of rainfall feels like the best thing ever!

naomi said...

I love how this dress totally pops in the middle of the forest.

Matilda said...
