cchild's haircut

When I was little, my parents used to lay out old newspapers on the patio, sit us down in a chair and snip snip at our hair till we came out, more often than not, halfway presentable. Contrary to popular lore, it wasn't a particularly traumatizing experience. My brothers always had cute little boy haircuts and I, at most, had a little hair trimmed off my scraggly ends. I don't think my parents ever even considered paying somebody to cut our hair.  Read more >

Would You Buy Designer Clothes?

I was recently at a party where a woman noticed my purse, a messenger bag from Target's recent Liberty of London collection (she guessed it was Anthropologie), and we got to talking about the new designer collaborations at Target and other big box stores and affordable fashion in general. "Even if I had the money," she declared, "I wouldn't spend it on designer clothes."

A few weeks ago I went to a salon, pulled my hair back in a ponytail and asked the hairdresser to cut it off. What she placed in my hand was 15 inches of my hair tied neatly in a yellow hairband. That hair is on its way to Locks of Love, an organization that provides hairpieces to economically disadvantaged children suffering from long term medical hair loss. A friend of mine grows her hair out the requisite 12 inches every couple of years and then cuts it off to donate, and I've always admired her for it.  Read more >

Jean Paul Gaultier for Target

Like most of Target's designer collections, Jean Paul Gaultier's collection for Target is expected to fly off the shelves. This may be true, but I'll tell you this: the pieces will not be flying into my closet. Even though there were quite a few pieces that looked promising in pictures, I was really disappointed with the quality of the entire collection. The pieces I thought I would like still looked decent on the hanger, but once I placed the fabric between my fingers it was over.  Read more >
