This is what I wore to hit a matinee of True Grit. There were a lot of beautiful things about it including the costumes, music, and performances. It also broke my heart a little, but I can't say my sister didn't warn me.
What did you guys think of it?
I did sneak Wetzel bitz for me and a cupcake for Gabe in my red purse...ok, ok, and an iced vanilla latte too. Hopefully nobody from the theater follows my blog but somehow I doubt they would. The popcorn is just too (fake) buttery and gross and the candy is stale and boring so what else is a girl supposed to do?
I found these red loafers the other day and they are so perfect to me! I wanted some red shoes and I haven't really seen any this style new so I was lucky to find them in my size vintage. My predictions were true about this coat as well. I will wear it forrrrrever!
(Sailor top- c/o Club Couture, Jeans- UO via Crossroads two years ago. I just got a new zipper put in. Wee! It's hard for me to find jeans that fit.., Coat- Anthro Ruffian, Shoes- Vintage, Satchel- Asos, Socks- J.Crew, Pin- A.P.C., Necklace- In God We Trust, Watch- Passed on to me from my grandma via my Mom)
It was just a wonderful weekend sort of California day. Sigh. :)
So, I wanted to share my favorite hair products with you just in case someone might find their very perfect product! My hair is very fine so I use an abundance of volumizing products.
1. Bed Head Epic Volume Shampoo and Conditioner
This Shampoo and Conditioner are light and fabulous.
2. Paul Mitchell Extra Body Daily Boost
3. Paul Mitchell Extra Body Foam
I got my cosmetology license from Paul Mitchell so I have used every single Paul Mitchell product imaginable and while a lot of their products are mediocre, these extra body products are amazing.
4. Marrakesh Oil
This is my favorite find! Somehow, it's Oil but not Oily. I put a few squirts on wet hair and it protects from the heat of the blowdryer and curling iron. I use this everyday no matter what.
5. Bed Head Hard head Hair spray
I have to spray my bangs or they split in seconds. Just a thin layer to keep them in place.
6. Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush
This gives an amazing texture to fine hair. Boosts up the volume and allows an extra day or two in between washes! I usually just spray it on the roots and then a thin layer over the whole head on days that you don't want to shampoo. Amazing!
So, that is that! So maybe you'll find your perfect product in there somewhere. :)
Ok, we're off to get a, Orange Mango Iced Tea and a waffle dessert of some kind. Life is great!

ReplyDeletei love the color of your socks with the scarlet loafers. what a lovely find!
Wow it's smart that you spray your fringe to keep it in place. I just put up with the splitting. Your socks are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteTIGI products are great! By the way I did it! I cut my bangs again and I think you have a part in it as well! :D

Your red shoes are amaaayyyyziiiin!
ReplyDeleteLoved True Grit! I hope that little girl wins an award. I saw it on Christmas Eve with my fam, 10 of us ranging in ages 14 to 92 and we ALL enjoyed it...that's hard!
Going to have to try out that dry shampoo! The one I have used is a little pricey and love any excuse to sleep in longer in the morning.
love the shirt!xo

Just the perfect amount of punch for a matinee! Love the red accents.
ReplyDeleteI'm completely different, not a hair product girl even though I confess to a slight indulgence in different conditioners.
i shall fave this in chictopia!!
ReplyDeletethat coat is so yummy i want one like that and those red shoes really do pop
ReplyDeletei find dry shampoo with white blonde hair (which i have too) makes it easier to work with

PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteI love the shoes!! I used to have red shoes but they broke into pieces due to its extensive use haha.
The coat is wonderful, that's the one Gabe gave to you, right? He's got great taste!
And the bag!! LOVE it, so so beautiful.
And I love that you are wearing jeans! It's not frecuent and you look amazing in them!
you look great, as usual! love the pops of red.
ReplyDeletei agree about movie theatre snacks - it's so much more delicious (and cheap!) to sneak in treats!
Batiste dry shampoo is the biggest god send ever! It's great that they do a brown one now for me, I just end up using it ALL the time x
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! How on earth did you sneak an iced vanilla latte in your purse...haha.
ReplyDeletethe coat is incredible it seems like a cape!! really love it!
ReplyDeleteLove this look, the pops of red are great! :) And I adore your sailor shirt..too cute!

ReplyDeleteyou are the cutest! I love your hair so much, thanks for letting us in on your hair products :) I do need to try something new.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on the hair products... definitely need to check out that marrakesh oil... my ends get so damaged from blowdrying.:-)
ReplyDeletemustard socks and red loafers make me happy!! ck :) x
ReplyDeleteI just wanted you to know that you inspire me :D I just bought the dry shampoo because i've been on the look out for one, i was going to try Oscar Blandi but this one is much better priced. My hair is thin as well, i'm trying to take some vitamins to maybe give it some natural fullness.. ok i've rambled enough :)
ReplyDeletelove your bag!
ReplyDeleteI love the way that purse always gives a pop to your outfits. Great gift!
ReplyDeleteAgain your color mixing is awesome and I'm loving the jeans and sock combo!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed True Grit-then again I always enjoy a Cohen brothers film! And Jeff Bridges can certainly play a convincing drunk!

i love the colors and proportions. I just found your blog for the first time. I love it! definitely following
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! and amazing shirt.
ReplyDeleteOf course I love everything you're wearing (especially the coat) but I actually really adore the way the jeans fit you! Definitely worth the repair. Great loafers, too :)

thank you so much for this post! my hair is extremely fine and straight, i've been fighting with it for a month on what to do with it. hopefully these products will help me out.:):)
ReplyDeletewolves and sparklers

your kicks are awesome, the color is so bold. They make me wanna get more red shoes in my wardrobe. I agree about the movie theaters food selection, its mediocre at best. I will usually get a coke and maybe bring a nipper and pour it in (not every time of course)...but you know whatever floats your boat :)
ReplyDeleteI love the look! The jeans and the shoes are so cute! :D
ReplyDeleteLove your hair, it always seems like it's glowing! Makes me miss having blonde hair. I know what you mean about the bangs splitting though.. a good trick is to spray the underneath the bangs a good bit, this stops them splitting, but they don't look crispy! haha x
ReplyDeletegirl, i'm all about sneaking food into the theatre. 1, that shit is expensive! i'm not paying $5+ for a box of raisinets. 2, i don't want something that's been sitting around for god knows how long. 3, you can't buy beer at the concession stand.
ReplyDeleteHa, love that you sneaked that into the theatre. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteGreat shoes; I love the colour. And great hair too. x
beautiful! i love the pops of red :)
ReplyDeleteperfection! i've probably said that about most of your outfits but i truly mean it every time. and you're wearing pants twice in one week. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for hair product tips. i too am cursed with fine hair and i have yet to find a volumizer. i will have to test some of these babies out.
love that pop of color in the shoes and bag! fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI have incredibly baby-fine hair as well (plus it's dry) and I've heard a lot about Marrakesh oil, so I should check it out soon.
ReplyDeleteI loved True Grit, and loved the relationship between Maddie and Rooster. So sweet and sad. I think I'll check out the book.
Too cute Coury. Too stinking cute.
ReplyDeleteI also can't go without my Paul Mitchell Body Foam. Does just the trick!
Ooh cute sailor top. I love anything with exaggerated collars lately. I saw True Grit last week with the hubby, and we both were blown away by the film. Jeff Bridges is just so dang good. And the music was heartwrenching. I lol'ed when you talked about bringing other food in, because I do that too. I put my jacket over my drink and such. Haha!
ReplyDeleteNice shoes:)

ReplyDeleteyou're so beautiful as well!!
Can I just say that I've been trying to find a fashion Blog to follow for a while now and yours is the only one I've really liked? and I love the shoes.
ReplyDeleteI like so much what are you wearing, is so lovely!
ReplyDeleteand the colour of your socks!

I've been looking for some nice red shoes (so I can pretend I'm Dorothy in OZ) but couldn't find a pair that I would like... maybe next spring :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the red bag is absolutely beautiful.
U look amazing. these pics make are going to make me double take UO jeans now
