I am the Calvary Captain

Hi guys,
    Spring break gave me the opportunity to have time to take outfit pictures, so yay! It's been so warm this week (meaning it hasn't been below 20). I'm getting ready for spring weather, but with the hit we got, there will probably still be snow on the ground in June. Sad face.

Hi friends,
     My girlfriend, Ally, bought me this shirt and it's one of my favorites. (I know, another favorite. I can't help it I like all my clothes!)
   

Favorite Pins of the Week

Hi people,
     I am always on Pinterest, so I was thinking I'd share some of my favorite pins from this week. If it's a popular post, I might make it a weekly thing. I think it'll be fun! I'll have to think of a more creative title, though. Too bad there isn't a day of the week that starts with P, Pin Puesday...I'll keep working on it...

1. "5 Non-Boring Ways to Style a Pixie"
     My hair is getting long enough to do something like this. I cant wait to try!

2. "Spinach and Artichoke Wonderpot"
     As a vegetarian and an Italian, pasta is about 800% of my diet. :P Artichokes, spinach, and mushrooms are also my 3 favorite veggies! Yum!

3. "40 Fun DIY Photo Props"
     I was looking at these for future picture ideas. Don't be surprised if some show up in future posts!

4. "Outfit Ideas"

      Such a cute picture, but you know she's freezing with that freezer door open!

5. Pretty Crystal Necklace

     I love all crystals. They're so pretty and add an heir of mysticism to an outfit.

I had fun choosing pins. I think I'll do it again next week!

Hair Phases & Preparing For a Pixie

Hi friends,
     I had long hair for most of my life, but these past few years I started playing around at the salon. Layers, no layers, bangs, no bangs. A couple months ago, I cut it to my shoulders, but my most recent hairstyle is pixie cut. Ahh! It's so short! I love it, though. If you're curious, here are some of my most recent hairstyles:

1 year ago Long Layers

6 months ago Long Bob

3 months ago Shorter Bob

Right now Pixie

      A pixie cut can be a scary thing, so I suggest being well-prepared by knowing what you want before you walk into the salon. I poured over Pinterest photos before I decided I wanted a cut like Michelle Williams. 

Front

     I'd suggest finding a picture of the back of a pixie haircut, because, as I learned once I was in the salon chair, there are multiple ways to cut the back. 

Back

     Virtual Hair Stylers are also a great way to visualize what you'd look like with a different haircut. Some of my favorites are Taaz, Instyle, and Seventeen. They are also fun to just play around with. :)

     My last piece of advice is don't over think it. It is easy to go from preparing to completely stressing out over your new hairdo. Bottom line: it is just hair. It will grow back so experiment and have fun with it! If you have recently gotten a hair makeover, feel free to post your before and after photos in the comments. I'd love to see your new looks!
