Whew it was a busy one... What is it with this December? I've commiserated with several friends, and we all agree that this year feels somehow more rushed and crazed, or maybe our kiddos are just getting older, resulting in more to do.Either way, for us, it's been (for lack of a more elegant term) cuckoo, and this weekend was the crescendo of cuckoo with birthday parties and Christmas parties and projects and errands and the like... We're all so fried that the entire family fell asleep on the couch at 8:30 Friday while we were watching "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" (I may have actually fallen asleep at 8:15).
But there's light at the end of the tunnel... just one more week before the girl's much needed winter break and some work vacation and just general laying low and enjoying the holidays. We're counting the days.
Ok now for these photos...I have to share what was (for me) the highlight of the weekend. My friends Sara and Bindu of the utterly fantastic CHAKRA asked me if I would style and shoot their Spring line on Sunday. I have to say, I was a bit of a wreck, given that I've never really done either of those things, but it was a complete and utter blast. The girlies were fantastic and the clothes were gorgeous, so it made my job easy.
So, so fun.
Oh P.S. -- I got bangs...full-on, all-in bangs. I'm still getting used to them, but they're slowly growing on me. Millie on the other hand, well...hates them. The first words out of her mouth after laying eyes on them was, "Why is your hair so crazy?"
Gotta love that kid.
LOVE the bangs, and the shoot looks great too ;)
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic! And kuddos on the successful styling project--even if things are a bit cuckoo, it doesn't show!

Why is your hair so crazy? That's a great line. The little ones get away with saying the best stuff. And your bangs look pretty fantastic.

ReplyDeleteand the shoot looks like fun too.
I'm loving those gold boots and the bangs are definitely excellent.
ReplyDeleteLove the bangs! Glad you took the leap!
ReplyDeleteYou brave girl both for the styling \ shooting (looks great) and the fringe (well thats what we call bangs here) - lovely a deep and thick,
ReplyDeleteMy son is very bossy and specific about my hair too. Won't let me wear it up or back.. ...
umm...okay, of course, you look super glam with bangs...and what are those crazy gold galoshes?? LOVE! Lila said the same thing to me when I dyed my hair dark (meaning my natural color)...
ReplyDeleteThe bangs are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove the fringe, very sexy. The shoot looks amazing and looks likes the girls were having a real ball. Well done.

thanks ladies!
ReplyDeleteThe gold boots were the brainchild of the genius sara...she spray painted some cheapy wellies!
The shoot was absolutely lovely--it just looks like magic. Your new bangs look great too!
ReplyDeleteThe bangs look great. You got the perfect amount. Don't you love how they look with a pony tail? When I came home with bangs (and a professional blow dry) a while ago, I had to pour water on them to make my daughter stop crying. Kids!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the bangs. Love the bangs. Love the bangs. I'm getting closer to taking the plunge myself with your excellent inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the girls are definitely having fun...so nice to be young, no stress! Your bangs look great too!

Love the bangs - you look gorgeous! Great choice!
ReplyDeletelove the bangs! you have wanted them for so long and they are totally fab!
ReplyDeleteLove the bangs but then I'm a bangs kind of girl! I think they instantly make you look younger (and who doesn't want that!)
ReplyDeleteLove the bangs! We are deliberately keeping things really low key this year - even going out of town for the actual holiday (to Big Sur & SF - yay!) I'm loving it so far, I have to say. Even without kids, things can get crazy this time of year! xoxo
ReplyDeletethe styling and shooting results look great! and your hair is fabulous. love the bangs.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures of the girls. Love your bangs. Your hair really looks fantastic. I personally would love a great photo of your hair or the inspiration photo for it so I can copy you & show my hair stylist. She keeps giving me wimpy side bangs that just aren't what I want.
ReplyDeleteamazing photos!!!!
