Moroccan Oil

It's a hard thing to do; complaining about having thick and full hair. I'm already cringing just reading that opening sentence, but the truth is my thick hair takes WAY too long to wash, blow dry and style. So much so that I have limited the amount of times my tresses are lathered each week. My freshly washed hair never sets the way I want it to. It's impossible to style, and to make a long story short, I end up looking like I've been electrocuted every time.

Trust me when I say I've used every product on the market. Pomade was my go-to for the longest time, but it made my hair feel sticky. Just when I was beginning to accept the fact that I was either going to endure very dirty or very frizzy hair for the rest of my life, I was introduced to Moroccan Oil.

Moroccan Oil is primarily made up of Argan oil which is an oil produced from the kernel of the Argan tree. Not only does this miracle oil deal with my frizz problem, but it also strengthens my hair, making it softer and feel like silk (bonus; it smells phenomenal). It's completely natural, never tested on animals and they use recycled materials in the packaging; this is one indulgence you can feel good about.

Grizzly Bear - Ready, Able

I have had Grizzly Bear's Ready, Able stuck in my head for 3 days now. Time for me to pass it on to someone else.

Warning; this song is highly addictive. Listen at your own risk...

Tavi Gevinson - Certainly Not a Rookie

Throughout the last couple of years there has been a certain pint sized fashion blogger catching the attention of everyone from Anna Wintour to, well... literally anyone who is anyone in the industry. Tavi Gevinson, who turns 15 in April, has been blogging since the ripe old age of 11.

A quick Google search produces pictures of Tavi with Gwen Stefani, Karl Lagerfeld, Anna Wintour and Marc Jacobs. Tavi sits front row at the hottest shows in the world and is a muse for some of the industry's most celebrated designers.

I first heard of Tavi in late 2009 and couldn't help but immediately love her geeky admiration of the fashion world. Last night, while I was watching some PVR'd goodies from Fashion TV, I found Tavi interviewing Alexander Wang and realized I had never blogged about her. This had to be corrected straight away.

Her blog, The Style Rookie, has the voice of someone too mature to be a pre-teen, not to mention the opinion of someone who is seriously knowledgeable about fashion, fabrics and cuts.

If the last four years are any indication of Tavi's venture to a career in fashion, we can be assured to expect great things from this stylish 14 year old.
