More Aggy

This Weeks Crush: Agness Deyn

Is there a them here? If so it may be tomboys, or androgeny or boy hair on girls. My last few post have had some reoccurring characters... I get on kicks is all, you may notice that. Well it is time for another girl crush, this week it is Agyness Deyn... It seams like all my girl crushes are kinda have a tom-boy appeal... That is probably because in rael life I do like the fellas, but also because it take really beautiful women to look so stunning when you take away all the frill. I think it is the simplicity and bare bonsiness that usually make things striking.

Bowl Haircuts

More on the bowl cut... In it's different incarnations. Not all exactly Dorothy Hamill, but still the essence or potential is there. Here are some lovely images of some sweet short haircuts for you to ponder.

Might be a bit heavy on the Aggy Deyn Side, but we are talking bowlcuts right... And who could get too much of her? just darling...

LAURA D'ART!!!!

The absolutely lovely and adorable and OH SO TALENTED Laura D'art came to Holiday once upon a day last week to take pictures. And here, my friends, are the results... I really think she is so gifted and genuine and really just one of those people that even if you don't get to know them personally, you are glad they are out there in the world doing their thing, making their magic shine, and sharing it. thank you Laura, for your contribution.

Macarons before noon...

This morning I did it, I just woke up and went for it!... I MADE MACARONS!!!! For the first time ever... Remember how I was so scared? Well I pretty much nailed it! Crispy little outsides, chewy center, with the formation of the pied and all--for those who don't know what a "pied" is, it is the little frill or pooch at the foot of the macaron, and well with out this small detail, according to the french (who know everything), it isn't any more of a macaron then it's coconut impostor. Which as a beginner cookie snob, I think it is my job to inform you that the coconut thing? NOT a macaron, for the record...

And don't even get me started on the sea salt butter cream filling! Ok well, since I am already started... The butter cream was really good, and buttery but just kinda sweet and a bit boring for me and so I thought, "you know what it needs? subtle yet bold flakes of sea salt!" and OMG!!! I was right!... And so I proceeded to eat a dozen of these them... Almost.
