A Madewell Experience


I went into Madewell the other day with a friend because we had heard great things (there was a BIG sale) and the logo is interesting (that's what usually attracts me to a store, shop, or restaurant). 

While my friend was trying on different outfits I took a minute to browse through Madewell's catalog and sit on their comfy leather couch. Immediately I was drawn to the catalog because their cover girl had the curliest hair. I'm seeing more and more curly girls in magazines. Woohoo! She was even so daring to wear a hat with curly hair. Gutsy. I didn't end up buying anything from the store but grabbed one of their catalogs to go so I could share the pictures.

Sandra-dee-va-curl














Hurricane Sandy has got me thinking that Sandy from Grease was one of the only characters who turned her look and attitude around by going curly. Suddenly she was super sassy with her curly hair and leather pants. Love that and love her.

things were a little different with Anne Hathaway as "Mia" in Princess Diaries: 














She was so spazzy as a curly girl, but once she went straight she became quite refined. Why do they have to always make curly characters SO crazy?Hmm...the character's name was Mia but don't know how much I can relate as she ditched her curly hair.

Go Blue, Go Curls







































I met Christine at the alumni tailgate party for The University of Michigan this past weekend. Had to chat with her because she was a spirited Michigan fan with curly hair- perfect.

To Christine curly hair distinguishes her from other people, in a crowd her family and friends think she's easy to spot. Gel is her hair product of choice, "doesn't matter the brand- just lots of it. I look so different without curly hair, it's part of my identity so I always keep it natural."

When I asked if she had any curly hair horror stories she shared, "In high school I had a really good friend who used to sit behind me and he played a little game where he would see how many things he could put in my hair without me noticing...sometimes it would be multiple pens, pencils, etc. I wouldn't always know until I put my hands though it." 

Thanks Christine and Go Blue!
