Criss-Cross, Half Up, Half Down Style

Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Mondays are the beginning of a brand new week! There are so many possibilities to the beginning of a new week.

Today I decided to wear my hair in a criss-cross, half up, half down style! It is surprisingly easier than it looks. This style took me less than 5 minutes to style and I am confident that you will be able to do the same!

Here is a short video showing you just how I achieved this style!

Besides for a teasing comb, you are only going to need bobby pins to accomplish this look.

I love how classic, simple and timeless this look is. It goes with everything and makes every outfit look like you actually tried hard every time.

Have you ever looked for a style that went with everything and took less than 5 minutes?

Do you think this is a style you will be able to achieve?

Sock Bun

When I first saw the sock bun, I must say that I wasn’t that impressed. I didn’t know what the big deal was. To me, it just looked like a big bun on top of your head. Then,, after I learned how to achieve a good sock bun I can see now that it is still a big bun on the top of your head, lol. Although It is very cute and comfortable. You can make it look like a perfect ballerina bun or you can do the opposite and have a more controlled messy look.

With my hair being curly I went with a more messy look today but don’t worry, you can still get the same or a similar look with straight hair.

Here is what you will need:

A old sock

Scissors

Bobby pins

A ponytail holder

Here is the video showing you just how I do my sock bun.

I have to be honest with you, the first time I heard of a sock bun I didn’t know that use used an actual sock. Have you ever tried to wear a sock on your head a sock bun? I have to admit it is a lot of fun to do and even more fun to wear.

Until next time, I am

A Poofy Ponytail Made Easy

When I look at someone wearing their hair in a poofy ponytail I immediately think of fun and flirty. It is the type of hair style that says “Oh this old hair style? I only wear this when I don’t care how I look” and yet they worked pretty hard to get their hair to look like that. I remember the first time I saw someone with their hair in a poofy pony and I wanted to know how to do that. So naturally, being the type of personality I am, I went ahead with out a doubt in my mind that I would get it right the first time. Well, maybe the second or third. Fine, it took me a while to figure out how to master that style. Although now that I have mastered the poofy ponytail with a few simple steps, I have decided to share with you what I wish I knew then.

My hair was curly today although you can achieve the same style on straight hair.

Here is the video showing you just how I achieve this style.

You will need a few things:

Prosante Finishing Spray
Unite Volumizing Powder

One Clear Elastic Band

A Pick / Teasing Comb

Bobby Pins

Wouldn’t you agree that after you saw the video the poofy ponytail seems to be so much easier and achievable? I would love to know how this has helped you. Maybe you can leave a comment sharing your experiences? Well, I hope that this video helped you. If you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Until next time, I am

Wearing A Statement Color

I don’t know about you but I absolutely love the color teal! It is such a fun rich color. No mater how it is worn, I know it will look great. I love wearing what I call “statement colors” and teal is definitely one of those colors!

I must say this though, I am completely in love with a white pea-coat as well. Although who isn’t, right? It just looks so dressy and sleek.

For today’s Fashion Friday I paired it with a teal dress, teal heals, a Vera purse and a white belt to tie the whole outfit together.

Do you like the my braided up-do? Believe it or not, this is a very simple way to make your hair look amazing!

I will be posting the video tutorial on how to do this braided style yourself. So don’t waist any time and subscribe to my blog so you get it sent right to your e-mail.

Thanks for reading!
