thoughts on style

Big news in the socialite world...huge actually. Tinsley Mortimer just got...bangs! The likes of Arden Wohl, Poppy Delevigne, and Olivia Palermo must be so jealous. Bangs are a big deal for a girl, and let me tell you why.

Almost two years ago, when I began contemplating getting bangs (after watching Reese Witherspoon's fabulous bangs at several red carpet events), I went through a similar dilemma to Tinsley's. Keep the long, glamorous, uptown-girl curls, or take the risk and go all sleek, chic and sexy? I ended up with the bangs, and they looked amazing. Girls with bangs have the potential to really have that "statement" hairstyle (i.e., Anna Wintour, Betty Page, Elsa Klensch--whatever happened to her!), and I rocked it --until about a month ago when I got bored with what was supposed to be my own future trademark Anna Wintour-esque bob, and decided to grow it out. I am currently in the middle of my awkward growing-out stage, where my bangs are neither here nor there, swooped across the side of my face but not quite tucked behind my ears. And bang girls beware - the withdrawl syptoms from growing out your bangs include the constant urge to just trim them again and get it over with. But you must resist! As for me, just a few more months, and I am home free...unless Tinsley's bangs look just so incredible that I get the itch to trim again, I will be dazzling New York with my curled, pre-bang-cut Tinsleyfied locks in several months. But I still think Tinsley looks smashing in her new fringe.

So what are your thoughts on Tinsley's style?
