Braids

Happy Sunday everyone! I wanted to share a quick What I Wore post with you all. I’ve had this New York and Company dress for a little while and I have been dying to wear it. Every time I think about putting the dress on something always deters me from being great. Well today I was able to finally wear this dress that I adore. When I saw it on the hanger I was like “ok this is interesting” but the most interesting (my way of saying weird lol )pieces on the hanger always end up looking fabulous on the body. So here are the details

And yes I have changed my hair again! This has been my “thing” for 2012. I recently took out my brazilian body wave tracks and went for a totally new look. I didn’t want a full head of senegalese twist again because I didn’t want to spend hours in the salon so I went for a different look. I have cornrows going in to twists. The right side is actually twisted so I have somewhat of a half and half look. I love this style and the fact that I don’t have to do my hair in the morning. I have been on a roll with this protective styling to add some length to my hair. I think I’ll continue throughout 2012 switching up the style every 6 weeks or so depending on the condition of my hair. So there you have it! What I Wore and my new hair. Until next time!

I don’t know about you guys but I am loving this season’s hair for a few reasons…

I hate to wear my hair down in the Summer time; it’s just too hot for all that! (I find it very gross to have hair sticking to my sweaty face and neck – don’t act like you don’t sweat!!!).

Convenience. What’s quicker than throwing your hair in a ponytail or up-do and dashing out the door??!

When you hair is pulled back from your face it really allows your face to be on display – contoured cheek bones, cat eyes and bright lips for all to see!!

What’s great about these styles is that they aren’t your average slicked back ponytails or boring buns – they all have a new and modern twist that takes the style to a whole new level and add’s that “oomph” to your hair without very much effort or time from spent.

My personal favorite is the high bun – I can see myself wearing my hair like this EVERY DAY this Spring/Summer, especially on those humid days.

Check out this “How to” tutorial – very straight forward and easy (I plan on using it myself to achieve my high bun).

Also try adding a turban or head band to your hair to mix things up or save time when you just don’t feel like doing your hair. 🙂
