When this dashing young man wandered into our New Bedford shop a couple weeks back, I had to accost him and snap a few pics!

He crafted this DIY disco ball tie, himself, to wear to the Lady Gaga concert.  I wonder if he’ll make one for my boyfriend…

Just saw that Jane Aldridge from Sea of Shoes is in the process of meticulously hand-painting a jacket. Such a cool DIY project! I can’t wait to see how it turns out…

Loving her folky vignettes of castles, people, and creatures–especially the toothy guy, above, who I think is a Pokemon.

I absolutely LOVED the bowl cut Amelia gave me back in November–but a precision style was way too much hassle to wear through the summer! So last weekend, we decided to chop it all off!

We snapped a couple headshots of each style for Amelia’s book.

All I have to say is… My new cropped do’ requires no blow-drying. NO. BLOW-DRYING. It’s awesome! Totally chic and easy!

In addition to making MY hair look awesome, Amelia has also designed the hairstyles for pretty much every lookbook we’ve done. In search of the perfect local stylist? Book an appointment with Amelia at Salon B!
