I chopped off all of my hair last week. I’d been considering it, but I hadn’t really decided until I just went for it. Susan at Sparrow did an awesome job.
Also, it appears I was channeling August. We wore the same foxy sweater that day — Brandon chose it for him while getting him dressed, not knowing I was going to wear mine. Then I went and got a little boy’s haircut. His haircut. Twinsies! I am not sure how I feel about that, but I guess we’re pretty cute together.
Also, looking at these pictures, I’m realizing that maybe I should be tucking the little ends behind my ears. (And probably also showering before taking and posting giant pictures of myself, but whatevs!)

You had me at short hair!!! I just found your blog through a Pinterest link today with the adorable August in the Eames chair…..and then I see your gorgeous, chic ‘do, so I had to tell you it’s stunning and perfect on you! I adore short hair and have a too-short-for-my-long/thin-face pixie cut right now….but it changes often. Enjoy your awesomeness:)
Jane
you look fantastic
Constance
It looks FAB!!!! And (sorry) so.much.better. Seriously.
Not like you weren’t beautiful before (you are always, even unshowered :-)), but this looks more like you and your personality (though I hardly know you and only through your blog).
You look younger, modern, stylish and fresher and you sparkle. Interesting, how a haircut can change so much, what a person looks like (the personality) or better said what a first impression it gives of a person and thus what we assume he or she is like.
And love the pic of you and A. So darn cute. Yes, the lengths of your hair might be about the same, but the cuts are way different. So don’t worry, you can leave both your heads alone.
So happy for you! xoxo from Germany
Gladys
You’re gorgeous!
Julie
Cutest sweater ever.
Janet
Love your hair! You even look younger with it shorter.
christine miller

Sarge in Charge
Let me be the millionth to say how flattering that cut is on you! You look great.
Have been wanting to go to Sparrow forever- they carry Kevin Murphy, one of my favorite lines.
Kelly McK
Nicole this is SO CUTE. I love, love, love it! You look so young and beautiful (not that you didn’t before!!) What a great daring decision :)
jennifer
I recently cut my hairs all off too! It has been great. Enjoy the shortness. It’s been fun. I find I have to wear a bit more make up though which I am not minding right now. It hides the lack of sleep I’ve been getting lately kinda well!
This is the post on the day I cut my hair.

Gah! It’s short! And FABULOUS!!! SOOOOOOO cute! Well done, Nicole! :) xx
Stephanie
I LOVE your new do! I’m sure you’ve already fallen in love with how easy short hair is. So fresh and quick, which is perfect for a busy momma like you! Congrats… which is kind of a weird thing to say about a haircut but I know the guts is takes to chop is all off!
gosia
you look just super cute, cool and hip. i love this haircut on you – the best version of yours! it makes me want to have my hair cut too… but my husband loves longer hair and i’ve been growing mine for two years now… but you look so fresh, young and mignone that i have to think a haircut over.
Megan Rasmussen
Love, love, love your short hair! I think it makes you look younger (not that you looked old before, but I (hope) you know what I mean). And based on the tone I pick up from reading your blog, I think its a really good fit for your personality, too.
Sarah van Loon
LOVE your short hair, Nicole!!! You look super chic and stunning. Love love love LOVE it on you. Hope you’re loving it even more than we do! :)
Mrs. Higgs
Love and WHERE did those foxy shoes in the photo come from?
Julia at Home on 129 Acres
I love short pixie cuts and yours is no exception. I chopped mine off a few years ago, grew it out and couldn’t wait to cut it again as a birthday present to myself last fall. I find short hair on women super feminine actually. So no worries about being “twinsies” with August… although the matching sweaters are super cute.
katrina
oh nicole! you look absolutely darling. i love this look on you!!
Anna
Love the hair, it looks great! (and the fox jumpers are really cute too).

I love it! I really liked it long, but this new haircut is so fresh and modern
Sally
GORGEOUS! It so suits you. How inspiring …. maybe I will
Jen
I don’t think I’ve ever commented before, but I just had to tell you that I love your new haircut. It’s incredibly flattering. If I didn’t have giant poufy hair, I would love to have a cute cut like that. Enjoy it!
jbhat
You are so cute. Good call! And isn’t it so different to shampoo a short ‘do? Wash and go! I used to have a similar style many years ago, and seeing yours makes me miss it.
jbhat
bethany
hair looks great! little bits around ears look great! love it all!
“change your hair, change your life” – so what will this change in hair inspire, miss?
love your blog – as always <3

Jessy F.
Love it!
Arlena
Wow! Your new style looks awesome! Even though your hair looked great before,…this is just “YOU”…and the fox sweater and hair cut for August just makes for a perfect picture..:)
nic
LOVE it! It really flatters you! Maybe consider some smaller glasses now that you have less hair tho? But you look great!
A while back (quite a while back) you had a link to an article about people are messy but need clean closets – do you remember where that link was by any chance?
I seldom comment (tho I read every day) but thank you for you honest and professional yet down to earth blog! You are an intellect and you have wonderful style!
Jennifer
Super cute! I don’t think I have the bone structure for such a short cut, but I always think it looks so chic!
Katie J
Love it. Doing the same this Saturday. I love Spring Haircuts!
Camille
Love the haircut! And, that’s a really cute dress! Where did you get it?
Dee in BC
Your hair style really suits you. You look great!
Corey
I LOVE it! and how brave you are! I really realllly want to chop all of mine off but I am such a chicken. Kudos to you and it looks fantastic!
Erin
That cut suits you so very well! I had the same one for a long time, but have been growing it out for the past few years. Seeing this makes me want to go back. But, now that I think of it, my son has the same haircut, too. lol
Ashlee
I love the haircut! It looks so good! I used to have a pixie cut and I loved it. It’s so easy to take care of and I actually felt my prettiest when I had my short hair!! Plus wearing vintage sunglasses works way better with short hair!!
Melissa @ HOUSEography
So cute!! Love it!
Lisa
Beautiful! And so slimming!
Begoña
I think you look gorgeous!!!!!!! Love it! Really really love it
graciepea
Looks wonderful! What a great cut.
Ilaria
You look awesome! And I like your top on the first picture, where is it from?
Leah
Love, love LOVE!!!! I like the sides in front of your ears, it’s very pixie-ish and feminine. So adorable, it really suits you!!! I wish I felt confident enough to rock this haircut- I’m such a long haired gal.
kudos to you for the last minute choice, it’s beyond adorable!!!!!
Melissa
This cut looks really cute on you!
Katie
I think it suits you too! I’ll go as far to say it suits you a lot more than your previous style. And you look younger. Viva la short hair!
amanda
Super cute! Maybe you should go blonde to match August?? I think it would suit you:)
Lydia
Beautiful!
Lisa
It takes confidence to pull off a style like this, and you obviously have it! Your beauty shines bright with this hair.
Jams
So so cute! I recently cut off 8 inches and am so happy to see my neck!
Vicki
Lurker coming out of the shadows to say I love it! It really suits you.

Hanna
You are adorable! I don’t know if I’m brave enough to go quite that short :) I think it looks good with the bits in front of your ears.
Kimberly
I actually think having the little ends out looks good!
Henna | HENNA BLOSSOM BLOG
WHOA, I LOVE it! :) Very flattering and adorable. You look great, Nicole!
I actually just had about 7 inches cut off as well. Actually wasn’t planned. I was at a friend’s house and I don’t know how it happened, but I ended up in a chair with all of my hair on the floor, ha. My friend is an interior designer, not a hair dresser, but I think she did a bangin’ job! :)
Cheers to a lighter head of hair for the SPRING! :)
Kari
Wow! Short hair totally suits you!
Tina Slocum
You look stunning with your new short style! it’s perfect on you and will be wonderful for Spring And Summer, especially.
Gorgeous cut.
tina
Jenn
Super cute! I chopped mine off a couple years ago- every once in a while I miss the pony tail, but when I can wash/dry it in 5min flat- I’m glad I cut it!
Kristi
I absolutely love this haircut on you! I think your previous hairstyle was great on you but this works too – in fact I’m jealous because mine’s the same length as your cut and I wish I could style it that cute! For some reason mine always feels too long. In fact if you ever wanted to share how you style your new hair, it would be much appreciated! :)
Yolanda
I’ve been following your blog for years, but have never commented before. When I saw your haircut I felt compelled. You look as cute as a jar full of buttons! Your haircut is absolutely beautiful and it suits you so well:)
Jennifer Rodgers
It looks amazing and so stylish on you!
Ez
Woohoo! You look amazing lady! Congrats on the fresh new cut! I think you look fabulous! xo Ez
Hally
Welcome to the club. I cut mine back in December and now all my friends are joining the bandwagon.
Jenn
It is so so so cute! The cut is extremely flattering and I don’t think you need to get picky on tucking back your hair or anything. I like that you look calm and cool here!
Jennifer Laura
I got this haircut last Summer (with longer bangs) and I HATED having it. Not being able to throw it in a ponytail was a huge annoyance for me, but I look back at the pictures of myself and think it looks pretty adorable (I didn’t think that at the time) and even seeing this pictures of you makes me think about maybe doing it again….weird no? Looks great on you!
Sava
love it!
Kim @ Yellow Brick Home
Your ears – not eyes! Silly.
Kim @ Yellow Brick Home
A-freaking-dorable!
I used to have hair your length, then 5 years ago, I started craved loooong Asian hair. It took me almost that whole time, but I finally have it! Sometimes I crave going back to short – more just to start over and get my locks healthy again.
Oh, and I vote to keep the strands in front if your eyes for casual stuff, then tucking for a date night!
lindsay
LOOKS REALLY REALLY CUTE! FRESH AND CAREFREE!
Ashli @ The Sweat Revolution
Absolutely love it – it really suits you! And I adore your fox sweater!
Ilana
L O V E IT- Thanks for including where you got it cut. I just moved here from Brooklyn and your GREAT cut is motivation to check them out when I need a cut– which is about two weeks over due. Really love the shorter hair!
Catherine
I love it, and I think the color is great! It makes it sort of edgy, but still sweet and feminine.
Veronica
CUTE! You need to change your bio photo now – you look so different :-)
Camille
Love it!
Diane@InMyOwnStyle
Love it Nicole – It looks so fresh and modern – Tres chic. Your smile tells it all.
Crystal
How cute are you! Looks nice!
Carly
Love it!! While your hair styles are different when I first saw your pic I thought of Michelle from Project Runway-love her!

Ruth
Looks good! I wonder if the glasses are visually heavy now without the longer hair. Could you post a picture without the glasses? Or with a smaller pair?
Making it Lovely
The ones I’m wearing in the first picture are smaller/thinner than the ones I have on in the picture with August. The new hair does change the proportions, but it has been fun seeing how all of my different glasses look now!
Annie
So cute! Can you tell me where your glasses are from? I love them both.
Diane @ DixieJulep
Too fabulous! I love it!
I haven’t had a pixie in about a decade, but your beautiful, happy photos make me want to go short again. It’s so much fun!
Josephine
You’re rocking it! And I like the ends out ;-)
Camille
I can’t get over how much it suits you! And I’m a fan of the ends as is- I’m sure it would great tucked behind your ears but it’s just adorable. You look stunning!
Vanessa
Aaaaaahhhh!!!!! You look SO cute! Short hair is perfection on you!
molly
LOVE IT! When I did mine, I also wanted to tuck the sides…but everyone said don’t. It honestly looks adorable
Jenni Sea
!!! ADORABLE!
Danielle
Love it! I have short hair, too, and while I love my pixie, I’m always on the lookout for something a little different (only becuz I’ve had it for years and years). And I second the above notion – short hair girls unite!
Crystal
I love it! I just grew my hair out (over the past year and half) from having a super short pixie cut. I loved it but after 4 years I craved longer hair again. I will say that short hair is a polarizing topic. I found that people either loved it (I had stangers stopping me to tell me how much they loved my hair) or hated it (some said nothing, some asked when I was going to grow it out again, and some were just blatantly said they liked my hair long). I loved it and miss how easy it was to wash and go.
You look super cute way but very trendy with short hair. I love it!
Making it Lovely
I suppose short hair is polarizing. I’ve had it before and I’m not really loyal to any particular length — too much fun to play around and switch things up from time to time.
vernonlee
You look fantastic!
Sizzle
Short hair girls, unite! Looks awesome.
Jen @ RamblingRenovators
Whatevs, you look awesome! Now you’ll have to do style posts with August :)
Andrea Howe
Short hair suits you!!!
Melanie
Very chic! Love it.
Katie
Love it – you look gorgeous, for real. Also, I bought the Foxy sweater immediately after seeing it here the first time and I wear it all the time – thanks for the inspiration :)
Megan
Love the short hair! Looks amazing – good call! Very chic :)
