I got an accidental--well, let's say unplanned--haircut today. I know I was just complaining about not being able to handle my roots while transitioning out my relaxer.

I love my hair again. All I needed was a clarifying shampoo, conditioning treatment and a good blowout. But now, I've lost my length. 

:(

It was dead hair that made my hair look dirty when it was clean. Do you know what I mean? When your hair never hangs right because it needs trimmed? Welp, that's gone now. It had to go but isn't crazy how attached we can be to our hair?

Anyway. I took my haircut like a G in a DKNY cozy. You know the sweater that you can wear fiftylven different ways? 

And then headed into J.Crew because, well, I'm a J.Crew groupie and I needed my fix. Sigh, don't you wish life was like a J.Crew catalog?

The countdown's on until 2012!

Quick sad story, in September, I accidentally deleted my entire iPhoto library trying to make space on my computer.

All of my college pictures, my earliest blog pictures, that vacation with that boy, everything, gone. 

And though I wanted to cry, a lot of my memories from the past two years (just about) have been documented in some way here, on this blog.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to share bits and pieces of my life with friends  (new and old) and family all over the world. Today, I just want to take a minute to share seven of my favorite moments on this blog that weren't necessarily fashion/beauty related.
