So yesterday I went to Elina at Michael Van Clarke in Marylebone to chop my hair off (literary), below is before and after pics! I am very happy with the haircut, might go back next week to do some more layering as we didn’t have enough time to do it yesterday (I was blessed with super thick persian hair, lol). But I am very happy with my new hair style, I feel like it’s more mature and flirty/playful at the same time! As my dear mother just commented on my Facebook picture: “This will be your strongest year.”

I think most of you know that I rarely (read: never) experiment with my hair, I usually go to the hairdresser maximum twice a year to trim my long hair. For 2012 however, I decided to cut it off – after Wednesday ladies and gents, my hair will look something like this:
Hopefully it will suit my face as beautifully as it does for Olivia Palermo! Will upload photos when it’s done and you’ll be the judge.

Carmen Dell’Orefice unveiled the first exhibition dedicated to her astonishing sixty-six year career as one of the world’s most enduring supermodels in November of last year. Haven’t had time to see it yet? Don’t worry, the exhibition is now extended until 31st of January.
Dell’Orefice has been a celebrated icon since the end of world-war two beginning her modelling career at the age of thirteen, being discovered on a bus on New York on her way to ballet class. In 1947 she graced her first cover of Vogue which came to be the starting point of her long career in fashion. Last summer, in recognition of her big contribution to the fashion industry, Dell’Orefice was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of the Arts London.
Held in the Fashion Space Gallery of London College of Fashion, the showcase displays Dell’Orefice’s career from 13-year-old new model, to 80-year-old icon via all the career ups and downs in between with never before seen photographs from her personal archives alongside her professional work posing for legendary photographers such as Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton and Irving Penn. Carmen herself being a living legend.
