CROP THAT 'DO:

WINTER PIXIE IS A GIRL THAT DOESN'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.

Sure, not everyone can pull off a super short coif, but girl, if you've got the ability to do it, do it. It's so amazingly chic and shows everyone around you how confident you are and how you're ready to conquer the world.

Take my friend Chrisa, for instance, beautiful mother of two, owner of Pappas Investments and fashionista extraordinaire all balled into one. When I met Chrisa in high school, she had long, luscious brunette locks (the enviable kind), but I have to say, when she decided to crop her hair into a short, layered pixie my jaw dropped in utter envy. She looks gorgeous. It opens her face for sunshine and makes her eyes and lips pop (her Greek heritage certainly helps, but still). It also makes her look powerful, astute and in charge. Wouldn't we all like to play that part? I sure would. One of my best friends from college and roommate in San Francisco, Erika (also a mother of two) has had a pixie cut for about a decade. She'll never turn back to her long locks and why would she? She looks a-maz-ing and free as a bird. This is THE hot trend in hair for Winter 2011, folks. Gets to cuttin'...
