Self Portrait with Victory Roll

Jeff got me an iPhone for Christmas! I'm enjoying playing around with it - taking self-portraits, blogging, ordering burritos. (Yeah, there really is an app for everything.) Anyway, I thought I'd share this little pic of me in my office with a fancy new hairdo - a victory roll! I absolutely LOVE this look. I got the inspiration from this simple video tutorial. Also, you can kind of see that I'm wearing my teal Peter Pan collar blouse. It's so cozy.

Anyway, I hope you'll forgive the self-indulgence. I'm just enjoying my new toy. (Thanks, baby!)

    Cute hair. Sadly I don't think mine would ever allow itself to be done up that way. I also love your new 'About Me' photo with purple flower. Very pretty.

    Every time I see one of your wool blouses I tell myself I really should try one out as they look so fab and warm at the same time.

    I have photos of my mother sporting that hairdo! I wonder if you'll make a jumpsuit-type garment in the "Roseie the Riviter" style. Again, I have a picture of my mother during WWII years, wearing the jumpsuit, working in an aircraft factory.

    It's adorable! I think I have to visit my grandmother soon, and have a look at her old photos... You're inspiring me in many ways!

    And congrats with the new playmate!

    I'm loving playing around with my hair at the moment, loads of victory rolls and pin curls over here.

    Thanks for blogging this year too Gertie, it's been really great to see what you make AND thanks for your tips on tailoring as I'm the proud owner of 'How to Design Your Own Dress Patterns' and the 'Vogue Sewing Book' now! Yippee!

    I love that look on you - you can really pull it off. I got the Droid for Christmas instead of the iPhone only because I didn't want to give up Verizon. While I've been playing around with it, I have yet to take a self-portrait or order burritos :-)

    Oh, this is so cute. My little sis would love it...she puts her hair in pin curls nearly every night.
    I love your amazing garments, especially the drop-dead gorgeous coat. As it's nearly midnight on Wednesday, good luck and godspeed!
