Hair Apparent

Hair. Its all about the Hair. Some say its all about the eyes, but really its all about the hair. Secretly I judge people on the hair. Not like good person, bad person, douchelord, etc. However you can tell alot about a person from their hair.  Today I had a hair appointment for highlights and a cut, so this morning I spent sometime browsing my favorite hair idols. Today was more of a maintenance visit but I did do something a bit different.....
That said here are a few of my hair idols.....

Jessica Simpson...I love JS, I love her style, I LOVE  her shoes and I was a big fan of the Newlyweds. On a side note, she totally wears her heart on her sleeve and you can always tell by her look when shes happy or sad. Here are a few of my fave JS looks:

Short or long girl got the bombshell thing down when she wants too...

When it comes to brunettes....I have two heads of hair that Im totally lusting over.

Cheryl Cole, who I had no idea who she was until I saw her on Perez Hilton  and she is a Brit import who is on her way to hitting it big here. I'm not surprised because her is lush. lush. lush.
Another Celeb Crush of mine ( and who I can dedicate a whole post too ( My style icon - seriously) Kim Kardashian. She went blond briefly after her breakup with Reggie Bush, and it was not my favorite but she rocked it,because lets face it. She can rock anything.


And well what did I end up with today? I got some bangs and I'm on the fence about it. Lets put it this way, its very country chic. Not Country Strong, Gwenyth Paltrow rocking Versace at the CMA's country chic. But a Carrie Underwood meets Jerseylicious type chic think this:


And I just want to add, that I think Carrie is lovely, I really do. Her hairstyle is all her own but its not working for me.  So I have some experimenting to do before I post some pics.

Vampires, Oh I how I love thee......

In recent years, Vampires seem to be all the rage,  I guess most recently with the Twilight Saga and True Blood.  However, this trend is not new to me.

My parents believed in quality entertainment for their children, ( note sarcasm) so my obsession began around the age of 8 ish. I remember watching Fright Night, and I was immediately intrigued. I didn't understand then ( or maybe I did ) all of the sex, lust and rock n roll and lest we forget blood involved but I was hooked.

Cut to 2009.

When we moved in to our new house, I was on vacation for a week, since the move was rather easy I had to find a way to occupy myself for a week. No Internet or TV available I traveled down to Family Video and I was searching for some series, something on DVD to make the time pass...and I had all intents and purposes of renting Dexter ( Showtime) and then I saw this big red lips:

And so my love affair began.

After I finished the season in oh say 3 days, I went out and purchased the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris which the Series is based on and haven't looked back since. The first two seasons of the show were stellar. The 3rd season left much to be desired, although not too disappointing. Since the 3rd book , Club Dead is my favorite one out of the series with the 4th, Dead to the World a close 2nd. ....

And besides, who doesn't love hot Viking 1000 year old vamps? Point in case Mr. Eric Northman portrayed by  hot, hot, hot Alexander Skarsgard. For your viewing pleasure:

So the next Sookie Stackhouse book isn't scheduled to come out until May 2011ish and season 4 of HBO's True Blood is probably going to have a June ish premier date, so it will be a long time til I can feed my obsession.

And No, Im not reading Twilight what am I 15 or something?

Goals for 2011

Happy New Year!
Looking back at my Goals for 2010, I came to the realization that I achieved all but a few of them. The downfalls came kitchen renovations,  yoga and date night....but I the other ones I did without a problem. Not too shabby if I say so myself.

So without further adieu...

Goals for 2011!

Personal:

1. Work out every morning.
 No excuses, unless Im in extreme pain or somehow misplaced a limp, I need to work out. For myself, for my health.
2.  Detox myself from Celebrity Gossip.
Yes, if Guliana Rancic isnt reporting it, well then do I really need to know?
3. Read more concrete, intelligent pieces.
My current reading list as follows:  Unwed and Undead, The Help and catching up on US Weekly. Sense a trend?

For my career and marriage, Ive made strides in 2010 and I hope to keep the trend going.

For my house, well thats a different story......for another time...
