Mrs. Barrettes, Tumon, Guam/Napa, CA Age and Occupation: 29, Dancer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Licensed Building Contractor Engagement Date: November 16, 2008 Wedding Date: October 2010 Venue: V. Sattui Winery About Me: I'm an East Coast girl, living on a tiny little island in the Pacific, twirling, leaping, and shimmy-ing my way through life, and now, wedding planning! I'm equal parts nerdy and cool... okay, mostly nerdy. I love satin bows, red lipstick, black & white graphic anything, the shine of sequins and the sound of a champagne "pop". My favorite books are The Portrait of a Lady, by Henry James, and Tender is the Night, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I can also conjure a pretty good Patronus Charm. I started my appreciation for good red wine while traveling on the high seas, and it's only fitting that my passion for wine drinking led me to my Napa-bred honey. We bonded over bottles of Cabernet on my oceanfront porch and haven't looked back since. We're sealing the deal at a winery in the Napa Valley on a 'perfect ten' of a day!
About Mrs. Barrettes

Hi Hive! I’m taking a brief intermission from recap-land to show you my new hair. Five months post-wedding and one  week to my 30th birthday, I decided to go big. The shortest I’ve ever worn my hair is in a chin-length bob, and I really wanted to buzz it short, but I have big ears and know I would have regretted that as soon as I did it. (Oh, the foresight that comes with being 30!)

I love it the most when I take the time to flat-iron it, but it’s pretty fun to play with, and fresh out of bed in the morning I have a bit of Charlie Sheen going on. Winning!

It is perfect for the island climate and I swear it only takes me 10 minutes from shower to finished. Know what else? I get to spend extra time with makeup, which is way more fun for me to do than hair! I think I may keep the shortie style for a minute—it’s making me feel shiny and new. And nothing feels better when you’re turning 30 than feeling shiny and new.

Did you do a serious chop post-wedding chop? Love it or hate it?

Aw, you look beautiful! Although.. I may be biased, since your hair looks nearly like mine! I hope you enjoy the new “do” as much as I do; it’s so easy to take care of! :)

I have exactly the same plans to chop off all my hair after the wedding, GO BIG OR GO HOME. It’s all coming off. And you have solidified my resolve- the cut looks amazing on you.

You’re SO brave!! I always wonder what it would be like to go that short, but I’m a big chicken.

I absolutely ADORE you with short hair though! It looks so perfect on you! It’s awesome that you went for it!

Love it! Mine’s that short, but a bit wavier (read: messier). It always looks better when my hairdresser has blown it out straight–I need to find the patience to do that!
