ladies, i have figured out the secret to making the "bump it" work magic on your hair. if you are like me your hair does not take well to teasing, mine inevitably becomes a very scary and huge tangled rats nest instead of a soft and pretty brig bardot do. anyways, the secret is...mousse and dirty hair! i found a can of mousse (undoubtedly from 1993 or so) under the sink yesterday and in combination with my unwashed hair i finally came up with something close to what i've been trying for. also yes, i did buy a bump it. and caroline got one too! hers looks better though because she’s blond and everything to do with hair seems to look better on blonds.
today we are taking an adventure with a real life car! caroline's mom is kindly making us lunch and then donating her automobile for our thrifting purposes. the goods will be up for sale on thursday for another update! im going to be double productive this week to try and make up for last, and also i have decided to stop bringing my debit card with me to work at american apparel so as to curb the ridiculous spending. this velvet bow will (hopefully) be the last purchase i make for at least a few weeks. but what a great last purchase it was, i have been wearing it to bed i like it so much.

Great set of photos! I really like that velvet bow, perhaps I should purchase one myself... mmm.

love it that you bought a bump it! that's so rad! and dirty hair does help with teasing and any big hair- do :D
I love the pictures of you peeking out of the window. Secretly, I'm kind of scared of the bump it, but I'm glad you made it work and are rocking it.
The bow is just fantastic as are the delightful photos! Have fun thrifting !!

there is something so simple and sweet about this outfit. i love the floral shoes, i just found a pair of keds for myself at the thrift store too!
keds are the best <3
<3
LOL...I bought bump its when they came out at Target. They are awesome! Instead of teasing forever, its just a little tease. Good stuff!
it seems as though that is a lovely appartment, I love the view :O!
The colours in this post are delicious. Lovely.
Perfection. These photos.. you.. I love everything!
oh, and I just gave you an award on my blog!
You've got great scenery for your photos. ;)
that last picture is really awesome, and your hair looks great!
First off the bow is amazing!! I also have the same problem with trying to get fluffy high hair and it just laying flat after a good tease. So I just got The Big Sexy Hair dry shampoo product and it works wonders. It makes your hair always work like when it has mouse and it is dirty. You should definitely try it out!

Do love the velvet bow with your 'bump it' in your hair! heee Great tip and I must go try it out too!
Gorgeous scarf and I the blazer is gorgeous on you. But I'm super in love with your floral keds,stunning.
How did you just make the bump it sound like a reasonable purchase? And why am I now considering it?!
Also, those shoes!!!!!!!

Oh, I must try this technique. I can never get my hair to poof properly.
Love your look and your fire escape. I think they're so romantic.
