Update Nothing, Impress No One.

Yeah, yeah it's been a while since I've posted here. Chalk it up to the fact that I've moved on to a new role with the insanely-just-a-smidge-too-cool-for-me Malibu-based company Planet Blue and have spent the majority of my weekends unplugging from my digital domain. Seriously upping my game as I type... As always though, I had to come back if not just to share what I'm currently obsessing over (and have been pinning like mad.) File under see you around more often.

After a terrible haircut over Thanksgiving break that's literally scarred me for life (actual time: until it grows out) I'm tempted to do something drastic. Good luck trying to talk me out of this one.

Paris is always a good idea. The only question is how much willpower I have to save and not spend pre-getaway.

As a notorious nail biter (natch, only when my anxiety is high) nail art has never really been my thing. But maybe the promise of artfully designed nails will curb my habit.

There comes a time every year when I want to completely redecorate my surroundings. The time is nigh. 

Just couldn't resist this one. #firstworldproblems

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow.

Weeee! I'm back! Well at least for the time being, I'll be hitting up The-Margaret-Files from time-to-time so as not to neglect what I started more than 2 years ago! (#timeflies) In current affairs, I'm craving a change and probs since I haven't stepped foot in a salon in over a year (oof) of course I'm wishing that I had the balls (and by balls I really mean the money for upkeep) to die my hair a crazy-ass color that only someone in their 20s could get away with. File under watch out.

10 Best Dressed: Golden Globes 2012.

Red carpet season is always an event in my household and the ladies walking down the red carpet at the Golden Globes were no disappointment this year. Although there were many sure things, lots of mermaid trains and many dresses that were curvy in all the right places, there was only one that made me gasp for all the right reasons. Tilda Swinton- the woman who usually turns up in something the critics hate yet the fashion crowd celebrates- pleased both masses with her periwinkle Haider Ackermann ensemble which made me a believer in this it-designer of the moment. But that's not to say that Jessica in Elie Saab, Charlize in Dior or Julianne in Chanel (all couture, mind you) weren't close contenders for best dressed. File as drama-rama.

Hair Care.

The connection we have to our hair can be quite a strange thing. Even the wave of a scissor can bring us to tears, we can go years without changing it and then all the sudden want a drastic transformation. Many of us want exactly the hairstyle we could never achieve (no matter how hard I try, a bob will never work for me.) Hair woes aside, I couldn't help but wonder if something that we style every day, no matter what we're wearing, could translate into our home decor style. After all, which hair color really has the most fun? File as hairy situation.
