Gimme Shelter



This is just a quick post before I run off to Stockholm and Scandinavia for the rest of the month. I don't know how my internet connection will be yet, so posting might be shoddy, but expect updates from Stockholm Fashion Week whenever I can get a chance (hope to run into some of you there?). In the meantime, please check out my partner Christina's side project, Shelter. She just started this beeswax candle line with our friend Sofia, using custom molds that they crafted themselves. They're only $15-$18 each, so there's no excuse not to snatch one up. I am definitely going to buy one of the horsehead candles for myself once I get back in town!

Aapo Has a Blog


My long-distance-BFF Aapo is a man of few words, so when he restarted his blog, it made sense for him to switch over to Tumblr. While I'm going to miss the random assortment of teenage party Polaroids that populated his long defunct blogger site (a throwback to when I first met Aapo at STEREO), his new site is undeniably more refined, featuring his work as a stylist in Stockholm and Helsinki. Ironically, just as I plan my move to Stockholm--I will be temporarily relocating there in November while Jimmy goes to grad school--Aapo decided to move back to Helsinki. I am already planning on making many Drunk Boat visits back and forth, but am happy that in the meantime I can follow his going-ons, and his signature style. See you soon Aapo!

Got My Hair Did

Getting my haircut at ARROJO by Topher. All photographs by David Ducane.

Last Tuesday, I was invited to get my hair cut and styled at ARROJO Studio, an amazing salon that's been home to many of my hair stylist friends. While I've visited the studio many times before, thrown parties for the salon, and even had my hair cut by off-duty Arrojo stylists (thank you Ashley), I never actually have had the privilege of sitting in an ARROJO salon chair and getting the full treatment. ARROJO asked several bloggers to get their hair done and photographed, and I was lucky enough to get to participate.

In case you can't tell, beauty-wise I'm extremely low maintenance. I almost never cut my hair, and when I do, I usually do it myself, so going to a salon is a real treat. Topher was a real trooper about dealing with the resulting tragedy that was my hair--a long and mangy tangle of frazzled split ends. He also gave me the best hair cut I've ever had in my life (probably because of the whole cutting my hair myself thing), chopping off all the deadweight and adding plenty of layers and volume in their place. After the cut, I was also treated to a full makeup application by Liz, the in-house makeup artist. The final results will be revealed at a party at the studio in September, but in the meantime, here's a sneak peek. Thank you so much to Topher, Liz, Andrew, Daniel, Rebecca, Victoria, David, and everyone else at ARROJO--I had an amazing time!
