So I got to see the new movie Lakehouse this week (great movie if you haven't seen it yet) and I fell in love with Sandra Bullock's haircut in the movie. I think for the most part it's just the cut I have now grown out a couple of inches all over. My sister Manda posted on her blog this week that the trend in color is more natural so I'm actually thinking about getting an all over color like Sandra's too. I've done a much more auburn color for as long as I can remember and probably for the past year I've had the underneath layers colored more of a chocolatey brown. Sounds crazy but it's really quite subtle and it seems like I hear at least a couple times a week how much some random stranger loves my hair. After a year though it's probably time for a change. Plus if I'm gonna do the 'growing out' thing which is usually torturous I might as well at least have some fun new color. Speaking of random strangers complimenting, do you do that? It always seems so sweet when someone does but for some reason I rarely do. I don't even know why. Plenty of times I see a cute hairdo or outfit or a fun piece of jewelry on someone and rarely do I give out compliments like that even though I know how nice it is to hear those things. I think I'm gonna make it my goal to give a compliment a day this week. Not to family, friends or coworkers cuz I think I do that fairly often but to random strangers. I guess some days I don't really come in contact with a random stranger but I'm gonna make a conscious effort when/if I do. :) Okay, got sidetracked there, back to the new do. I found some pictures online that I'll probably take to Kelly (the friend who cuts my hair) this week or next. Actually she was in New York all this past week for some training and a hair show so who knows, maybe she'll have an entirely different idea of what we should do with my hair. It's gonna be pretty tough to talk me out of this one though. It just seems to fit my personality. I don't like haircuts that look too 'done'. I like the fact that it can be pulled back or styled a number of different ways. Is it not just a GREAT cut?! And again, if you haven't seen the movie it really is excellent. And not JUST because Sandra Bullock has great hair. Keanu Reeves hair looks pretty awesome in it too. ;)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that hairstyle, I would look weird with it but I'm sure it would be so easy to deal with.

Love the cut and color Sandra is sporting....I opted for auburn highlight this time around instead of golden or blonde, I was considering this time around to go all over a shade or 2 darker than my norm brown....not quite sure. I just can't do the shorter thing though, I have tried it a couple times and loved it but only for about 3 weeks then I wanted my long hair back and we all know that just doesn't ahppen, unless of course I go for extensions...so, for now, I will resist my urge to cut it off - after all, it is a passing phase! :D
I am glad you gave a review of the movie I almost went to see it last weekend then had a last minute change of plans and didn't make it.....I have heard mixed reveiews but I am usually not reliant on what the critics say but more what the people say! LOL

Oh I loooove this Shawny! I just got a cute cut and color. :) Hard to resist. I could sooo see you looking fab with this!

Oh man, Shawny! Do it, do it!! You would look soooo gorgeous with that cut. I can totally picture it! Love, Love, LOVE it!!!! That's the one thing i hate about my hair right now....that i can't pull it back...and that is torture in the summer. But I don't have the patience right now to grow it past the awkward stages.
BTW, thanks for the review on the movie. We are planning a little movie date this weekend, but DH wants to see Nacho Libre. (hmmmmm....wonder if i can convince him otherwise. LOL)

I think it's TOO funny that we in the scrapbook world use Elsie Flannigan as the "insiration" to a Sandra hairstyle and we all know who she is!!

I saw the movie and I fell in love with Sandra's haircut also. It really makes me want to cut my super long hair off again, but I absolutely HATE having to get a haircut every few weeks to keep it up. But that haircut has tempted me more than any I've seen in years. It looks great on you!
