those who know me in real life ~ and to a certain extent, those who have read this blog for a while ~ know that my hairstyle is forever evolving. my dad always says: "every time i see you your hair is different!" to which i invariably reply: "yes, and so are my shoes, thank you for (not) noticing."

i see this switchery as a way to adapt my look to the seasons. how i want (and by natural necessity, need) to appear in the winter (icy, impenetrable) is different than in the spring (carefree, with a crop like fresh-cut grass). furthermore, when it's cold out, i need hair long enough to peak out from below massive woolly hats. when it's warm i want to be able to jump in and out of the ocean without fretting over the impact on my coif. luckily, i've found a talented and imaginative cohort in hairstylist lennie vega*, who understands that all it takes are a few deft scissor strokes to make me feel like a brand new lady!

as i've been on a little breton kick since the start of this season, lately i've thought a lot about american actress and iconic stripe-sporter jean seberg:

seberg had a tumultuous life and a tragic death, but ultimately is best remembered for having had a terrific haircut! also made famous by stars like mia farrow, audrey tatou, and most recently by ginnifer goodwin and carey mulligan, the pixie, like the bob, is one of those classic looks that is perpetually 'back in style.'

it's also a look that i haven't worn in a while, and right now seems like the right time to give it a go! i've just got to figure out how it works with my wardrobe...

* for those of you in new york: my stylist, lennie, is at senses salon in manhattan, where he gives 20% discounts to theglamourai.com readers!
