never say never.

i fought it for a long time, but i can't fight it any longer.

one never say never viewing and i've got the younger hunger.

and it's not just his affinity for high tops that's got me goin.

he's just so dang cute. i'll be your baby, JB.

born this way.

confession: i'm gaga for gaga.

not in a cultish, gays for gaga sort of way.

mostly in a "this girl is a marketing mastermind

and i gotta give her props" sort of way.

and my roomie only fuels the flames by bringing

home fashion magazines. gaga looks good.

her new single is kinda catchy too.

don't be a drag, just be a queen.

get it, gaga.

caper 2011!

last week, i hit vegas for a three day frenzy celebrating

the paul mitchell family and the art of hairstyling. caper 2011.

honestly, i'm still recovering. not joking. i've got the

vegas cough to prove it.

i spent a lot of time watching the masters on stage.

angus mitchell, stephanie kocielski, ladonna dryer.

cutting, coloring and styling like you wouldn't believe.

i had the opportunity to work backstage assisting with

the model prep. it was hard work but very exciting and

i learned so much!

yeah, i hung out with the likes of these

lovely ladies - stephanie kocielski and lucie doughty.

don't even worry about it.

this is my new friend ladonna. i'm obsessed.

the feeling's mututal. after i graduate, we're

gonna take over the world together. just wait.

caper wasn't all work. i hung with my peeps a bit.

we dressed in white and ate teeny tiny desserts.

we stood around and looked super cute.

bryce made supermodel faces. it's what he does.

but mostly, we just ooh'd and ahh'd over the

amazingness that was robert cromeans. serious.

caper was RAD. someday i'm gonna be ON that stage.

just you wait and see.

btw.

happy valentines day.

good find, peanut.

love me some divas.

did you watch the grammy's last night?

i thought the tribute to aretha franklin was UH-mazing.

i loved that florence welch was up there AND held her own.

and it's official: i love jennifer hudson. gorg.

nice work, ladies!

naha.

for the past month or so, i have been working hard

on my entry for the student stylist category for NAHA.

i submitted on february 7 (a whole day before the deadline - go me!)

and couldn't have been more glad to have it off my plate.

i celebrated with a trip to vegas! more on that later.

the past several weeks have been some of the most

challenging but also the most rewarding as well. i've never

been happier or more sure of myself. it's a great feeling.

what's new with you?

curly world.

loving that textured hair is so super trendy right now.

i'm feelin' a photo shoot recreating this look coming on.

who wants to be paula's next top model?

via

wise words, indeed.

i've been hustlin' big time the past couple months

and things are starting to happen for me.

i've gotta keep it under wraps for a bit longer

but i'm goin' places. cool places.

places i never thought i'd be going this early in my career.

it's a great feeling.

vidal sassoon.

so. excited.

deep deep deep in love.

i am OB-SESSED with adele. times a gamillion.

her new album is redonkulously good.

her voice. gahhhhhhh. can't get enough.

in my oPINion.

susan turned me onto pinterest a couple of weeks ago

since then, my pin boards have multiplied like wet gremlins.

are you pinning? let's be pin pals.
