Petite Petite

My name is Mia Schiano, and I'm a Japanese-German graduate student currently living in Los Angeles. Other than my love for fashion, I love dining out and exploring restaurants around the LA area. While I can't say that I'm a cook, I always have a big appetite and enjoy trying out new cuisines. My favorite chef of all time is my Mom; no one can make Japanese rice curry like she can! I also enjoy playing the piano and am always up for a game of tennis.

Hair That Makes You Shine!

Some may not care about fashion, make up, or what colors are currently in the trend, but everyone has hair! Whether it’s short or long, brown or blonde, a 5-min styling in the morning can make you feel more beautiful and confident, hence, uplift your day. You’re supposed to get a trim every 6-8 weeks, which means I’m way overdue!

Getting a haircut is kind of like an adventure — you don’t really know what you expect at the end of the session. You may have the best vision in mind, but once its cut you either end up with an “oh no” or a “oh la la”. I’ve had countless of cuts where I wanted to press the undo button, and since then I’ve learned to always bring a visual with me when I am describing the cut that I want.

Here are some styles that I found during my research for the perfect cut:

Medium-dos:

These are some hot dos in my opinion. All three create a fun, modern looks that would go great for any occassion. I’m not a blonde or a light haired brunette, but I can imagine these cuts looking great for Asian hair as well. What I like most about these cuts are the layers that create a wild look, and bangs that often your face. I need a cut that I can still do updos with, so medium length and these styles are perfect for that.

Long dos:

I’ve always been a fan of long hair, and if I were to keep it long as it is now and just get a trim, I’m thinking of going for either the left or the right style. The bangs cut in the middle is an awesome style, but I’m not too sure if it would fit my facial features. Highlights are always a do-do, it adds a lot of shine into your hair and also makes it look healthy (if done right). I would recommend a fun, flirty hair style in the summer and a shorter cut for the winter, they tend to look awesome with a cozy turtle neck sweater. Oh, and another reason why I want to get it cut shorter? So that I don’t shed all over my boyfriend’s floor ;)

Let me know what you think and share your ideas with me!

Love always,
Mia
