BLEURGHair - Retro Rihanna Shave

Hola! As you guys saw from my last post (thanks SO much for all the lovely comments and compliments), I shaved off the sides of my hair! It was a brave move and it took a LOT of guts walking into the barbers and going through with it :)
The look was inspired by these pictures sent to me by my sister (she's living vicariously through me....only a matter of time before she cuts her hair too me thinks) and I fell in love once I set my eyes on it!
Can't wait to add some highlights (thinking brown and a darker shade of blonde than Rihanna is rocking) for the summer. I know its SO cliche going for the short Rihanna look but I just LOVED it & its nice to see some of you guys do too. Already getting some handy tips on how to take care of the sides (which I REALLY appreciate), you guys are just THE best!

Attended my **8Ballz' birthday in Cater Rooms, London, on Saturday. I came down for the week and as it was in Central, I decided to indulge in some much needed girl time with my other **8Baller, JBrit, by having a sleepover.
 It was a joint birthday between **Hansonex and 2 other of her friends (hence the 63 on this gorgeous Hummingbird cake....twas YUM); a private shindig in a plush bar.....yes please.
Neck Candy : Claires' (pendants detached) | Basque : Panache (eBay) | Skirt : H&M
Clutch : Littlewoods | Heels (not photographed) : Miss Selfridge
A lovely girly night...gotta commend the London 'mandem' for turning their swag up on a different par! SHEEEESH!
Style = Dapper
Dance Moves = INTENSE
Choice of Drinks & Conversation = Interesting

Onyxsta says...BLEURGH!! Let's see what this shave of the mane can do for a girl that refuses to be tamed. Xisses

    your hair looks sick! Thanks for commenting on my blog...Im new to follow...so please feel free to follow back :)

    one of my friends shaved her hair like this 2 years ago...although she had long hair on the other side...so when it was in that funky stage of not being short or long she just combed over some of her long hair...and it looked as if she had long hair on both sides...

    Much love,

    Mele, Australia

    OMG! You looking smoking fo'real! I remember when I did that style last year, I was more scared of my hairdresser cutting my ear more than my hair. I wasnt phased by it though cause my hair grew back in like 3 months. Lol..

    Your bloggy is hella awesome. New follower here, would love for you to follow me back hun.

    Love your hair! Not cliche, if you really like a look go for it. I had a Rihanna bob a few years ago and I loved it! Girls got great hairspiration.

    I think you are so beautiful, it's ridiculous. I was just going through some of your posts and just can't believe how beautiful you are! AND you're in law school? You're an instant friend in my head. I just recently graduated from law school and wish I had someone like you during that experience. I'll definitely be checking into your blog more often since I've bookmarked you.

    I do have a question though: are you nervous about obtaining legal jobs with your haircut? I know that for me, I tend to keep things pretty conservative because the legal profession here is quite conservative.
