spring hair

If you follow me on Twitter,  you've already might have seen a couple of these photos, but I got a much-needed haircut and a color update last week.  (For anyone in the Grand Rapids area who reads this blog: Didi at Panopoulos is the woman who does my hair, and she is absolutely fantastic!  She is also a great friend and a lot of fun.)  I love it, and I think I'll be wearing lots of gray, blues, and green with this hair color.

Andy and I went on a movie/art opening/dinner date this weekend, and I wore my heaviest coat because it was supposed to be cold.  But the sun was über bright and Colorado intense, so I ended up not so buttoned up.  You've seen all these clothes on my before in this blog.  The coat is my favorite, and that dress and those shoes get a lot of wear.  The needlepoint bag is relatively new, though.

The only vintage garment on Andy is this beautiful Harris tweed jacket.  We are always on the lookout for Harris tweed items, and find it more frequently in menswear than women's clothing, but often the jackets are bad, boxy cuts.  This one is nicely tailored and looks great on Andy.

The movie we saw was Argo and I think I've already grumbled enough about that.  We also checked out an art opening at the UICA, at which one of my favorite local music acts, the Kent County String Band, played.  I really loved the shadows cast by these silvery discs in the room where the band played.

blonde hair and a shop visit

My hair is blonde!  For the first time ever.  Well, for the third time, really.  I was a blonde baby.  And I've had it bleached once before, but with pink and orange in it, too.  And this is only temporary...I'm going in today to finish the process.  I'm hoping to end up somewhere in the silvery gray spectrum.  Anyway.  This isn't really the best photo of my outfit, but it's the least derp-y photo of me, so it's what you get. I've had this 1940s dress for ages, as well as the sandals (Nine West), and the vintage beaded necklace.  I always want to wear these beads, but hardly ever do.  The largest beads are the size of cherry tomatoes!

This was my one keeper from a recent vintage buy.  It holds a lot, and is surprisingly easy to carry for a bag that doesn't have a traditional handle.

We were downtown for a cocktail and dinner after seeing Wes Anderson's wonderful Moonrise Kingdom.  We stopped by our space at Lost and Found, too, which made me feel for a moment I was transported back to the 1965 setting of Moonrise.  (The movie is just as fun and quirky as you'd expect.  I think I loved the music most of all--Benjamin Britten's Noye's Fludde and lots of Hank Williams.)

While we were there, Andy put up the sign for our brand new dressing room.  Yes, we now have a dedicated dressing room at Lost and Found--woo hoo!
