lucilleduquette:

though i’m walking in prospect park wearing these crazy palm tree/marijuana leaf pants, i feel that the pants would be more at home in a florida retirement community, playing bocce ball or bingo. 

these dvf beauties border on pajamas- they’re light linen with a drawstring waist, perfect on a hot day. i found them secondhand during the winter, and would you believe the tags were still on?! this is an older dvf print, so i know they’ve been languishing un-worn for several years. i wonder why..

on an un-related note, have you noticed how my hair is looking remarkably less flat in these photos? i posted awhile back about being treated to a day at edris salon, and promised i’d be back there for a haircut. i finally visited ronnie there recently, who did a great job of giving some life to my limp hair. he also gave me loads of helpful styling tips, both for lazy and non-lazy days. i’ve been following his advice of putting a little bit of mousse into my hair when it’s wet, and twisting it tightly away from my face (leaving the ends alone), so that it dries into loose curls.

today i decided to try his tips for non-lazy days, and used hot rollers- again, leaving the ends of my hair un-curled. though it obviously isn’t very curly in these photos, it did have a lot more volume all day. i has taken me years to find a hair stylist i really like, so i just had to mention how wonderful edris salon is- and particularly ronnie!

maybe next time i’ll ask him how to style my hair for a day of bocce in boca.
