Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! Er, to all that snow on the ground. Spring is here this Wednesday and I'm sticking to it. I went with another bright yellow look for my shoot with Mindy, and we took some photos on the Fairfield Green and in my natural habitat—the bookstore magazine section.

Since I'm currently in the state of growing out bangs, I have been really loving the return of the 1990s barrette trend. (I nabbed these from CVS for a few bucks.) What's your take on it? I was second guessing my style choice this morning when the receptionist at my dentist's office mistook me for an actual teenager—imagine her surprise when I said I was on my husband's insurance. Now, this is not new for me. I know I have a baby face, and I always get carded and mistaken for a college student, but a 16-year-old is a whole different story, and I blame the hair clips. I am almost 30 people! I can rent a car; I have a favorite brand of dish sponge! Tell it to me straight: Is it the barrettes or am I just trapped in a child's body?
