After the cut...

I've been to the hairdresser, finally! It took her an hour and a half to cut my hair, but here's the final result:


You can sort of see in this photo that it's quite short with longer layers on top and a longer fringe. If I really really want, I can style it into a little mohawk, but I'm afraid it doesn't look as glamorous as Ginnifer's cut...

In case you're wondering about the black neckline and pearls, I graduated on Tuesday! In Poland, a graduation day is not in fact an official ceremony, but the day of the very final exam (the so-called defense of the thesis), after which your studies are basically done and over with :) I've graduated with honors and hold the title of MA in Applied Linguistics.


I opted for a very classic make-up with a shimmery champagne on the lid (Wet'n'Wild Walking on Eggshells trio), a mixture of Urban Decay Naked and Buck in the crease, Virgin in the inner corner and Creep as a liner. Base is Graftobian HD Glamour Creme foundation in Aurora with a bit of Buff mixed in set with MAC Blot Powder in Medium, blusher - La Femme Pink Velvet, lips - MAC Viva Glam Cyndi. The photos were taken after good 8 hours of wear, and you can see that the base lasted very well on my oily skin; I think it lasts even better than my Revlon Colorstay foundation.


I wore this simple black dress from Jake's with some black pumps borrowed from my mum, outfit documented by my dad in my parents' garden.

How was your first day of summer?

    I also chopped my hair short short over a month ago, I like it so much that I had it trimmed last week to keep its funky shape... your cut is gorgeous :)

  13. Congrats on graduating! I still have a few more years to go before then haha :) You look so elegant and professional!

    You pull off a pixie cut so well! I used to have hair past my chest and right before New Years I chopped it off and had a bob hair cut. My mom told me to go even shorter (like Emma Watson she said) but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Your haircut gives you a very classy, almost vintage look.

  14. CONGRATULATIONS MONICA :)

    I am so, so happy for you {and a teeny bit jealous, but my time will come, no?}

    Your hair looks fabulous, I am so jealous of how wonderful you look with short hair. Love your ourfit too, very Audrey-esque!

  17. congratulations on graduating! you look like a beautiful polish audrey hepburn :)

    i think ginnifer is so gorgeous, definitley a good hair role model. This pixie cut is so chic on you and perfectly fresh for summer. Mac Viva Glam cyndi is my absolute favourite at the minute, I love how different it looks on everybody's skin tone.

    Enjoy your time in Poland, I would love to visit someday!

  18. LOVE the hair- it's like a modernised Audrey Hepburn! Well, maybe it looks like that because you have the same cheekbones as her.
