Are you sitting down? Yes? Okay, good.
You are looking at the newest face of Pantene‘s Aqua Light campaign.
(Oh, there goes the heart-beating thing again.)
Starting today, if you live in North America, you might just be seeing me on your television (35+ networks!) for the next few months.
(Dying.)
I’ve had 5 months to prepare for this, and yet, I’m still speechless. Can you believe this? I can’t believe this.
The month of March is going to be crazy for me, with lots of super cool things planned with the Pantene team, including taking over Pantene’s Facebook and Twitter pages, and a series of Hair Thursday posts about my experience shooting a national hair commercial. (Holy crap, it was insane, and I promise to not spare a detail.)
In the meantime, here’s the commercial.
(This is the spot that is playing in Canada, and there is a another spot playing in America as well.)
If you need me today, I’ll be staring at the television set hoping to catch a glimpse of some swishing action.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?

February 27, 2012 at 10:29 amCongratulations! First stumbled across a J Crew related post on your blog a few years ago and was instantly feeling we could have been best friends (I don’t mean to sound stalkerish, but your style and personality that comes across are an inspiration for me). So happy to see how the hard work and dedication to your blog(s)has paid off for you. Big congratulations – enjoy!

February 27, 2012 at 11:06 amI said it on Twitter but wanted to say it again- Congratulations! I’m thrilled for you. I might actually not fast forward through the commercials now just so I can hopefully see your ad. :-)

Congratulations, beauty!

February 27, 2012 at 11:32 amThis is so great for you, but I’m a little confused… isn’t Pantene notoriously horrible for everyone’s hair? I even thought I remembered you saying so on an old Hair Thursday post from years ago, so I am sort of surprised you’d endorse it! Congratulations though, you look lovely.

February 27, 2012 at 12:37 pmHey Annie! I do have lots to say on this matter – which will be in an upcoming Hair Thursday post – but for now, I will briefly say the reason I am gaga over the Aqua Light shampoo and conditioner is that Pantene took the silicone out of this formulation, and it has made the biggest difference in my hair not feeling so weighed down.
