How FUN! And COOL! And nice of you all to do that for Missy! LOVED all your suggestions -- is she going to share 'after' photos???

Hi Rebecca,
Quick question -- where did you find the picture (& who is it?) at 4:30 of the video? I've been trying to describe exactly this hairstyle to hairdressers for two years now (usually unsuccessfully) & am totally excited about the prospect of having an image to show them instead!!!
Thanks so much!

I loved the makeover - great job ladies, keep 'em coming!

I'd love to see a list of links for recommended products - clothes, accessories, makeup, and hair products - in the future so we can all go check them out if we're interested.

Shannon,
I was simply giving feedback. I wasn't trying to be mean or critical. I applaud the success of Rebecca's writing! And after reading her response I respect and like her even more and see where her new Gone Style posts are coming from.
Just because I have an opinion that is different from yours doesn't mean I am wrong or that I am a frumpy mother who sits around in my sweats all day. But if I do happen to never get out of them it is because I am too busy tending to my child. We all have those days. And Rebecca would be the first one to detail them on this blog. If you appreciate her then one of the major reasons has to be because of her honesty. Give me a break and let me give her some of mine. Hopefully she values the feedback of a loyal reader good or bad.

hi! long time reader, first time poster.i had your book with me in the hospital this week after a (minor) bike-riding accident. note to car drivers; please LOOK before you open your door, or one day you willend up knocking a cyclist over and into traffic!
anyway i adore your book, and your writing style and your fearlessness, and just everything. i'm 23 now, and e more i read the more i realise i can do anything i want in life, whether it's love or creative aspirations.
trouble is, i'm australian, and i'm clearly a techno-idiot. what's a google reader? how exactly do i bypass babble.com.au and find your other blog??

thanks again for writing such a beautiful book.
-steph in melbourne, in love with your life

I swear I commented here the other day, but anyway, This post rocked!!!! It was so great and I love all the makeup tips and clothes stuff! I want to be next! Lol, but I would need somewhere to go.

Wow, and what is with all the haters!? Sheesh, love your blog Rebecca! Creative, inspiring, candid, articulate! Keep doing your thing!

rebecca- this is your space. anonymous commenters who are telling you about their personal disappointment should do one of two things... either grow a pair and not post a comment anonymously, or close their browser and go elsewhere.

2010-02-09T20:14:42.731-08:00

Your writing is not boring. This "Gone Style" thing is. If I wanted make up tips I would check out something else. Please go back to more of your amazingly talented writing. It's the best. Always honest and incredibly touching.
I'm all for variety but when I log on and see one of these I can't help but feel a little disappointed that there is not a page of words staring back at me. I just wanted to say I love your writing and music but these fashion and style tips feel out of place.

2010-02-09T19:34:31.803-08:00

I'm finding a renewed energy since coming across your blog! You've even inspired me to start my own and I'm really enjoying it. Thanks so much!

Makeover...man, I need help. Since having a baby 9 months ago, I've blown my hair dry, maybe, 3 times and makeup, well liquid eyeshadow is about as far as I get. I've got to figure this out!

2010-02-09T16:45:30.988-08:00

Rebecca -

I love what you do and the way you do it. I love you stand on writing what you want and doing it the way you want. You are inspirational and cool and awesome and funky and badass and all that and a bag of chips. Thank you for including JMC in your style selections.

xoxo

And also, I often find that when people start to complain - it means you're doing something right!!

I have been staggering around in a sleep-deprived, baby-bliss haze for too long now! I LOVE your eye GGC, and I love the quick tutorials. I only discovered you (and blogging in general, where have I been?) a month or so ago, but I am becoming a regular skulker and I am loving it!!
I heart those boots. Must get new boots.

2010-02-09T12:37:18.703-08:00

I just wanted to say how much I love your blog! I've been lurking for the past couple months and it is definitely a highlight for me when there is a new blog post!

That being said, I would love to "sign up" for being in a "Gone Style" episode! We might have to wait a few months considering I'm 7.5 months pregnant!

Can't wait to for more!!
Kait

Thank you. I love you guys.

2010-02-09T10:26:23.080-08:00

GGC fo' life!

I don't mean to sound like a fangirl or anything, but Rebecca has revolutionized what it means to be a mother for me. This is what keeps me coming back. Fresh perspective, her words, her style, they all combine to make one badass woman who is both a mother and HERSELF.

As far as the blog goes- I have noticed some changes since I first started reading. But nothing negative. Change is constant. Staying true to oneself throughout is admirable, and for that, Mrs. Woolf, I salute you!

2010-02-09T09:19:48.439-08:00

Oh No Shannon.. I am that mom in my sweats that looks like I rolled out of bed.. THAT IS WHY I LOVE GGC. It is a motivation to say "Hey Jack, you are staying in yoru crib for 5 extra minutes so I can put on some mascara and blush". My little guy is 8 months and I YEARN for the days of looking put together. As he gets a little older I will get there, in the mean time I am putting all of the ideas that Rebecca is offering and putting them in storage...Sweats all day everyday suck but that is just my reality for now.

2010-02-09T08:37:26.353-08:00

you know that Traci is one of those moms running around in sweats all day looking like she just rolled out of bed. ;) As a mom who loves my kids, but also loves to still be a person aside from "mother" I love all of the style content. I think we tend to be totally absorbed in our kids at first, and then at some point most of us learn how to be ourselves and moms at the same time. I have made that transformation the last year or 2, so I have loved following yours as well.

2010-02-09T06:15:48.562-08:00

Anonymous 5:32 She does have a video showing us how she has done her make up. IT IS AMAZING....Maybe do a search on her site or on youtube.

Rebecca you are doing an amazing job. YES your site has changed but in my opinion it is now a perfect balance of being a mom, a wife, a woman, a writer...MOMS have many sides and that is what I find wrong with many mom blogs - it is ONLY about the kids. YOU keep doing what you are doing because it is perfect!

2010-02-08T23:05:48.530-08:00

I think it s great you get to write about various aspects of life (motherhood, marriage, style etc.) A woman, a person, has so many roles, it s great you address all those roles!
Keep doing it:)
