{ the demibob }

although i've complained about it more often than not, part of me is enjoying the process of growing out my hair, and experimenting with fresh styling techniques as it evolves. as such, i was unexpectedly inspired while attending the recent michael kors show, as a bevy of choppy-cropped models (as seen above) took to the runway ~ in particular miss arizona muse (above center & below), whose uber-cool above-the-shoulder bob has kept me from giving up and shearing my locks on many occasions since.

now, suddenly, vogue is calling the look a trend (actually, their exact phrase was 'beauty phenomenon') ~ even anointing it with an official name (the 'demi-bob' ~ which, by their definition, "hits anywhere between mid-neck and shoulder-dusting"). i'm still waiting for my mane to grow to that ideal length, but at least i'm looking at the entire endeavor much more optimistically.

in the meantime, i've dusted off my long-neglected straight iron and am experimenting with new products, in an attempt to achieve that optimally tousled but flat, matte texture. i'm especially enjoying kloran's gentle dry shampoo, paul mitchell's super clean spray and shu uemura's yokan craft, but am more than open to additional suggestions. should you have any to offer, please share!!
