twenty-seven.

Today is my twenty-seventh birthday. It's my Golden Birthday... 27 on the 27th. I'm not sure why, but for my whole life, I've always told myself that 27 would be my favorite year... and now that 27 is finally here, I can't wait to see what it brings.

Also, I kicked my birthday off with a "why not" of all why-nots:

Long to short hair cut, Haircut before and after
Long to short hair cut, Donate your hair
Long to short hair cut, Haircut before and after

I've always been a fan of change, and for this new year of mine, I'm embracing it fully. I ended up having 12 inches cut, and I'm donating my hair to Children With Hair Loss—they accept all kinds of hair and since the tips of my hair were bleached a few years ago, I picked their charity because some of the others have requirements against bleached & highlighted hair. I went to Kendall of Roots Salon in Boise (208-514-5895) and can't recommend her enough. This new cut is spunky, sporty, and of course—extra saucy. Why not, right?

Last year as I blew out my candles, I made sure that I didn't wish for "babies or anything crazy like that." This year, let's just say I can't promise the same, though I'm in no rush to make any changes that big (or small) quite yet. Oh, 27, I can't wait to see what joy you'll bring.

Thanks Martha! I agree with you... it's so spunky! Yay!

Annelise Rowe said...

yayyyyy Gayle. Glad you like it. It's similar to yours now, just a bit shorter :) right?

Annelise Rowe said...

Oh my gosh, Casey, you're totally pulling my leg :) Thanks for making me feel young!! But really, that's not that much younger. I think I'll still feel (though probably won't look) this way when I'm 80! Thanks again... glad you love the short hair too... it's fun, huh?

Annelise Rowe said...

Thanks Jessica!! It feels pretty great :)

Annelise Rowe said...

Thanks Kaka! It was really important to donate it, I'd never had hair long enough to do it before, so I was so excited!!

I have a few things I am hinting at. This is a completely different one.


I can see that gumption in you. hehe. =] Your short hair looks really good on you. =]

Rebecca Kelsey said...

This seriously looks so perfect on you! It has totally changed your entire look. I LOVE IT! Not going to lie, it makes me want to cut my hair.


Kindness is the best accessory,
Rebecca

Friend, I know I'm late, but I send you birthday love all the same. You look stunning, and I love that you donated your hair. The reason I'm growing mine out soooo long is so I can donate it but still have length. (Short hair is the worst for my type of hair, and it doesn't look nearly as awesome on me as on you!) Happy birthday, Aunie!

Cassie @ Live.Laugh.L0ve. said...

Happy Birthday!!!! Your hair cut is AMAZING!! I seriously love it!

Annelise Rowe said...

Yayyyyyy so glad you like it! It DOES change my look. Granted, that first pic up there isn't the greatest of me, but hey. I didn't want to ask Kendall to take a second one so I just rolled with it. But I'm having a blast styling it so far!

Annelise Rowe said...

I didn't know that! How cool... You look great with anything, but you as Pocahontas is the Lindsay I will always know :) And thank you again!

Annelise Rowe said...

Thanks a bunch, Cassie!!! It feels pretty awesome, just NEW still! :) yay!

Casey said...

Haha I guess you're right. ;) I just saw this post on the LC Lauren Conrad site! That is so fantastic. Congratulations!!!

Happy very belated birthday!

That haircut looks incredible. And donating it to such a good cause is a fantastic idea!
[You've even made me contemplate a chop. Which never happens.]

Annelise Rowe said...

Thank you thank you!! I was so honored to be featured :)

Annelise Rowe said...

Ha! I had never thought I'd want to cut it... but so glad I did :) Thank you again!

Aunie said...

I do so love that shirt you're wearing ... where did you get it?
