Hair-spiration

Posted on

I love change. Not when it comes to people, such as friends moving away, but I am a big fan of moving furniture around, trying new restaurants and changing my hairstyle.

As long as it keeps things fresh and interesting.

I love to take risks with my hair and make statements, therefore I have this itching feeling to chop it or perm it.

Ruh roh.

Here’s what’s been inspiring me lately:

Hair 1

1-5- I love short, choppy bobs, but I think my husband would have a heart attack if I lobbed my hair off. Plus, long is so much easier to style (Can you tell this has been a continual argument in my head for a while now? Blerg.)

6-I love ANYTHING and everything that Rachel McAdams does. She’s so gosh darn pretty. If only my hair were naturally wavier…

hair 2

7 & 8-I love the longer layers of Carrie & Rachel’s do’s. Plus I would be able to pull my hair into a ponytail.

9-I’ve never really thought Jessica Biel was that pretty until I saw this picture (plus, she stole JT, so I don’t know if I can ever forgive her), but I LOVE the ombre color she’s rocking and the beachy, long layers with thick bangs (I’m not ready to give mine up).

10 & 11- I love these medium length cuts, especially #11’s waves.

And “The Carrie Diaries” has me wanting to perm my hair so badly. I mean, who wouldn’t want these Goldilock-can’t-keep-your-fingers-out-of-my-hair curls?! So, so, so pretty.

Knits

Today’s Coast to Coast Challenge is knits.

This sweater is really bulky, so I lightened it by pairing it with a bright pencil skirt.

Have you come up with your knits outfit yet? 🙂

Warning: Things Aren’t As Daunting As They First Seem

I love braiding my hair and am not half bad at it.

I am able to do a regular braid, French braid and a Dutch braid, but the fishtail braid always escaped me.

I made it my goal to learn how to do it by the end of the year.

Not knowing where to start, I googled “how to do a fishtail braid” because that seemed like a logical place to turn for information.

A plethora of youtube videos appeared and I chose the first one.

Well, I am pleased to announce to you that after 31 years of life, I am finally able to do the fishtail braid.

And let me tell you, it’s eaaaaaaasy.

(I actually feel really dumb for not knowing how to a long time ago.)

If you don’t know how to do a fishtail braid or don’t even know what I’m talking about, feel free to watch the video here.

In fact, there are a lot of fun and informative videos made by the always lovely Lauren Conrad. My favorites are the Milk Maid Braid, Lauren’s Every Day Waves, and Ballerina Bun.

Enjoy!
