carey mulligan inspired

as you all know, i've been needing a haircut for QUITE SOME TIME now... there's a part of me that still loves short hair but another that's craving for a bit of a change. my obsession with carey mulligan continues and i was just so thrilled to hear that she was awarded best dressed woman of 2010 by harper's bazaar magazine! go carey! she really is quite beautiful and her style is so classic chic! i've been eyeing her hairstyles for months, hoping that i could see a potential new 'me' in one of them. i think i may have found one. i first saw it about a month ago and thought 'hey, that looks really lovely...' but didn't think much about it. i'm about 80% settled now. it's nothing exciting... probably the most simple and classic cut i've had for years. it's following victoria beckham pob and ruby rose pixie cuts. i feel kind of weird settling on something that looks so simple and... well... AVERAGE, i guess to some degree. you get a bit used to standing out sometimes. especially when your hair has been distinguishing you from everyone else for the last handful of years. but i think this new cut (which i haven't even completely settled upon getting) looks super pretty on miss mulligan! so pretty to the point where it PERHAPS makes a somewhat ordinary cut look EXTRAordinary? (pardon the awful play on words... exhaustion hasn't quite left me left!)

so you actually know what i'm talking about, here are some pictures of carey:

i'll keep you posted on the proceedings! :D
