Found our new I.T. guy..

You may have noticed lately that my blog has been down.. Thanks to some infected bug/malware I thought I’d lost all my 4years of hard work. I really did think I was going to have to start from scratch.

Anyway Thanks to our new superhero IT man Paul Routledge.. All is ok in our world again!

Not only did he put it all back together again, but he did it with such speed and professionalism, we were so so grateful!

So if any of you have any IT website problems, I would not hesitate to contact Paul to sort your techie stuff out, its so important to have someone reliable and solid.  He specializes in PHP MySQL JavaScript, Ajax, Json, CSS3, HTML5 Jquery, Jquerymobile C++ et al

Anyway, here’s Paul’s info for you.

And by the way – Paul’s a genius veteran Hair guy too, so if you happen to be in the Taiwan area, go get a haircut too : )

My Pick ~ Simplicity

I love this simple sophisticated look. Sometimes after seeing so many crazy ‘out there’ hairstyles, its good to get back to the basics, both in color and haircut and styling.

This one is by Ari Koponen and Cecilia Nygren from the Scandi Collection:

Rinko Kikuchi’s new look

Somebody’s had their hair cut off and it looks great. Not one for shying away from different looks, Rinko Kikuchi is constantly changing her hairstyles and trying out new looks, Here is the Japanese actress, (known for her roles in Babel and 47 Ronin), posing for and hanging out at  the 2014 Sundance Film Festival where she’s seen sporting a fab looking pixie cut. Always hard to pull off on coarse Asian hair due to the hair sticking out at right angles, but if your hair can get away with it, then go for it. I have always been sad that I have always ended up with the ‘bog brush’ type of look whenever I try the pixie!
