Custom jewelry speaks for the person who earns it.

BRAT SUMMER ❗ Who knew the word "Brat" has one origin, out of its many forms of existence, from 1968: "Brat. The word has always had a range of meanings: In Stockholm, it’s used to describe rich kids who have mastered the art of applying hair gel and have habituated to nightclub bottle service. Brat is also applied to confident young whippersnappers in the shonen anime I watch. Lower-case brat, a concept introduced by Charli XCX and her graphic designer, is another thing entirely. You know the tagline, 'Before It’s In Fashion It’s in Vogue?' The magazine was all over “the little green dress” in 1968, a tumultuous year. The world needed something, like chartreuse, that was “bright and clean” and symbolically connected to fresh nature. Plus ça change." - PUCK Article X Laird Borrelli-Persson Good read, you could never learn or know too much, agree?

For instance, I'd encountered the necessity of finding a barber shortly after we moved into our temporary quarters. This might have once been a trivial challenge, but no longer. Now, the field seems crowded with pretenders, people who might hang their shingle without the first idea of how to barber. Some characterize themselves as "stylists," a meaningless term strongly suggesting someone who chose beauty college over learning the barbering trade. Stylists tend to call their shops "salons," as if to announce that they are different, hugging to the higher end of style and service when, in fact, they're mostly beauty parlor operators. According to some long-ago misplaced agreement, men were never supposed to break the sanctity of beauty parlors, and women were to respect the neutrality of barber shops. Greying this boundary has radicalized what was once a simple hygiene activity, turning it into a cultural statement accompanied by many seething resentments. I'd maintained the same stylist in Portland for over a quarter century. ...

Why did this picture resonate with my @ag_image_style_brand followers? Was it the calming interplay of balanced colors? Was it the pop of turquoise that drew their eyes to my face?
