Simple and Sleek Grey Dress {My Style}

I can’t believe that Blogher was over a week ago. Since we spent 3 days in Chicago I have a total of 3 outfits from the blogging conference for you. One of the things I love about the city is the sleek business style. I love seeing everyone walking to work all dressed up. My first Chicago inspired outfit was my Pretty in a Pale Pink Dress and today is Simple and Sleek.

Here is a fun fact about Elisabeth (Yes I am talking about myself in the 3rd person). I absolutely love wearing dresses!!! They are so fun and flirty as well as sleek and sophisticated! You never have to worry about pairing it with another article of clothing. You only need to find great accessories, shoes and the perfect purse. That is exactly  what I did with this outfit! I started with a simple dress.

This whole outfit is so put together. Simple and Sleek

I then added some sweet pumps!

I think I am in love.... Just look at those shoes!!Chilling in Chicago in a Simple and Sleek Dress

A Poofy Ponytail… some simple accessories.

This is a great go to style... the poofy ponytail Hanging out in Chicago enjoying my photo shoot with the Freckled Fox

And a Prada purse to complete the look.

I love this Prada purse! It makes this outfit look to complete

It doesn’t get much easier than that!

This Grey Dress is Simple and Sleek... Plus I love Those ShoesThis is such a cute black prada bag

I use to think it was hard to pack for trips like this one. Although I have mastered the art of packing in 4 easy steps. I actually enjoy packing now because of how easy it is. The hardest part in not having enough space in my bag(s). lol.

I would like to thank Emily (From the Freckled-Fox.com) again for taking all of these pictures for me. You are so talented and I had an amazing time rooming with you.

I have one more Chicago outfit for you next week so don’t forget to subscribe in the upper right-hand box so you don’t miss a thing.

Until next time,

French Braid your hair in 7 Simple Steps {With a Video}

I am republishing this post because I realized that I didn’t make my video public on Youtube. So…. here it is!

Last week I showed you how to Master the art of Braiding so for this week I decided to show you how to turn that basic braid into a French Braid. It is easier than you might think. So many people get discouraged with a French braid and they shouldn’t.

If there is one thing that I would suggest to you it would be this. Make sure you feel completely comfortable with a regular braid before you go onto a French braid.  The motions are the same except you are picking up and adding hair to the French braid as you go along.

This is the easiest way to learn how to french braid

In this video I show you just how to take a basic braid and turn it into a French braid with only adding 2 steps.

1. Grab a good size section of hair on the top of your head

2. Dived Hair in 3 Sections

3. Take the Left Section and Place it Over the Center Section

4. Take the Right Section and Place it Over the Center Section

5. Add a Small Amount of Hair to the Left Section and Place it Over the Center Section

6. Add a Small Amount of Hair to the Right Section and Place it Over the Center Section

7. Continue steps 5 and 6 until you run out of hair

1.Grab a good size section of hair on the top of your head to start a French Braid2.Dived Hair in 3 Sections for a French Braid3.Take the Left Section and Place it Over the Center Section to achieve a French Braid 4.Take the Right Section and Place it Over the Center Section for a French Braid

Adding hair to your braid to make it a french braidAdd hair to your braid to make it a french braidContinue adding hair to your french braid until you run out of hair.

I remember when I first learned how to braid, I wouldn’t give up until I mastered it. Let me tell you, I was so excited once I finally got it and I know you will feel the same way.

I am confident that with a little practice you will be able to French braid in not time at all. I hope that this video is helpful for you.

Do you know how to French braid? Do you remember how you felt when you mastered it? I would love to hear about it.

Let me know how it goes for you!
