Baby Bangs

So glad to finally find some online lit on baby bangs! Kat Stoeffel's article in the New York Observer, Snip, Snip, Bangs, Bangs! poignantly explores this fad. I personally chopped mine into existence last summer. It was scary and exhilerating AND I was adament on making sure they were very short.

Though the article accredits Rooney Mara, among other ladies, for this eyebrow-framing movement, my bangs are kind of an homage to Jean-Luc Godard's muse. 

Check out the article, above. Stoeffel isn't so lovey dovey about baby bangs though she does give an interesting look into the look.

Things I Would Wear If It Were Cold Outside...

Pretty Prep.
Above is the vintage Abercrombie beret styled with a leather BC BG purse, a stretchy velvet belt from Sid N' Nancy (a last December purchase) and  a Gap cardigan. Maybe one day it will cool down and I will actually be able to wear this outfit!...Maybe.

French Kitty.

Above is Milani's Tropical Fiesta nail lacquer. I love the color pink and would wear it on my nails anytime of the year. For Fall, contrast pink with realistic animal print, like the Guess leopard bag uptop. Complete le look with black boots, black tights and a black top. 

Dusty Sunshine.
I love this silk scarf, not just because it is a Valentino, but also because it belonged to my grandmother. When folded into a large kerchief, I like to wear it under an opened leather jacket with my Chinese jade necklace. The grey nail lacquer is Essie's Power Clutch, one of the fall colors inspired by Kate Middleton.
