I’m going back and forth on thick and thin eyebrows. Now when I’m talking about thick eyebrows I’m referring to Arizona Muse…

or Jennifer Connelly.

But not Bambi Norwood Blyth.

Sorry girl, those eyebrows are borderline werewolf to me.

While in India I usually get my brows threaded. And every time I have them done I usually get the reaction of, “Wow, such thick brows!”

via ehow.com

So, for years I’ve kept up my brows according to my eyebrow guru but recently after looking at an image of Arizona Muse…

I decided to fill in my brows and see how much it changes my look…

I lightly filled in underneath my brow with a soft black Rimmel eyeliner pencil.

Hmmm…

I likey my new brows.

Bye bye old brows below!

 Now I’ll just have to be careful when I visit India and my eyebrow guru! :P

sweater: H&M; radial necklace: Nervous System; ring: Wildfox via Karmaloop.

eyeliner: L’Oreal; brow pencil: Rimmel; lipcolor: MAC Velvet Teddy; nail color: OPI Got the Blues for Red.

Yep, that’s right… I decided to cut my hair again!

For many years I have secretly admired Freja’s hair… hint hint.

When I was younger I sported a shaggy style for quite a number of years. Actually it was somewhere in between a shag and the Rachel and it wasn’t the best. At some point when pin straight hair became fashionable the shag needed to go.

From then on I was always either a One Length Larry or Super Long Layers Woman. Armed with numerous pictures of Freja and my other hairstyle hero, Sojourner Morrell, I worked up the courage to ask for the shag cut.

The result…?

…is a haircut I absolutely love! Now I’m just as cool as Freja and Sojourner, right?

Hair by? You guessed it, by Alexa at Boylan Heights.
