Summer Nights/Floral Hair Tutorial

This tutorial is very girly and femmene, perfect way to combine braids and flowers. To be presice, the cute small wildflowers. It's simple, using the overlapping technique, and the basic braid, you can get this look in no time! Thanks again to Sincerely, Kinsey for sharing this amazing tutorial.


Preparation: You can curl your hair a day before, just so it will be easy to work with it. You'll need bobby pins and wildflowers (real or faux). Ok, start with your hair down. Begin with a small strand from each side of your head, close to your ear, warp it around to the opposite side and pin it (like in this tutorial). Repeat the process ntill you get the look from the fourth picture. After that, create a semi-loose braid with the best of your hair. Lastly, add flowers throughout your braid! 

Have a nice day friends!

Perfect Top Knot

There's nothing more atractive than a beautiful messy top knot. If you're running late on a date, or something, there's an easy technique to achieve. It's most known as the french twist. Or a knot, I'm not sure.Take a try on this amazing hair tutorial from A Cup Of Jo, that will blow you away. Would you ever wear your hair into a knot?



"1-2. Start putting your hair into a high ponytail, but don't pull the hair all the way through the rubber band. You want to end up with a little loop on top with some hair left over at the bottom. (By the way, I love doing a top knot on hair that isn't combed through, so I use my fingers to get my hair into place; that way, keeps some of the imperfect lumps and bumps. If you prefer a more polished look, you can comb your hair into a sleeker ponytail.) Tip: If your hair isn't quite long enough to get a top knot, you can also wear the knot lower down on your head.

3. Take the section of hair that's free from the rubber band and twist it.

4. Take the twist and wrap it around the base of the little loop of hair you created. If you have long hair, you may need to wrap it more than once. If you are wrapping it a few times, do it loosely…you don't want it too tight and rigid.

5-6. Use bobby pins to pin the bun in place. I like to secure my bun with four pins: one in the front, one in the back and one on either side. You may have to use more if you have thicker hair. I've also found that "U" shaped pins work better to hold thicker hair. These specific pins are great because they have a rubberized texture that helps grip hair."

Get The Look: Taylor Swift

Hey everyone! Lately I've been thinking about adding something new and fresh to my blog, like a new column. Or something like that. And in the same time share with you my celebrity style icons and their amazing closet. So whenever I feel like writing, I can always turn to a little research and celebrities.
First on my list is the amazing Taylor Swift. I will be honest, I rescently became a fan of hers, well more a fan of her style. Maybe because of her new hairstyle. Those bangs really gave her a little more sophisticated look. And It suits her perfectly. And almost everything she wears is perfect for everyday wear.

On the right side you can see a very simple but chic combination of a basic white shirt, and black pants with very small dots on it. I also like the cute cardigan. It's risky to wear a cardigan with such a formal look, but the awesome Ray-Bans gave it a completely different outlook. 

bag: LAUREN MERKIN STEVIE SATCHEL
On the left side you can see a very navy combination with red jeans. Again with the Ray-Bans, but I just love it. This is a perfect everyday style that suits everyone, and it's very easy to achieve. 

shirt: DIZZY STRIPE HENLEY SHIRT
jeans: SUD EXPRES JEAN SLIM ORANGE (sold out)

When I see this look it reminds me of London. I don't know why, honestly. However I really seem to like it even thought I'm not a big fan of wearing yellow or that navy blue as a color. But, Taylor did a great job there! 
sweater: RALPH LAUREN
bag: FENDI

Sooo this is the look I definitely love the most. It's a stylish and casual. Red lipstick looks great with the whole combination, and Ray-Bans also. It's really Manhattan, without much effort. The vintage sunglasses in a cat eye shape gives it just enough glam and fills the look. Not much, but beautiful.  

shorts: DR. DENIM
sunglasses: ELIZABETH AND JAMES
bag: COACH

Taylor is promoting her new single and new album 'Red' that's coming out this October and I can't be more excited! This is another chic & basic look styled with a red lipstick and Ray-Bans. Vintage, and always IN, Taylor keeps surprising people with her own sense of style. She is original, and that's what I love about her. 
shirt: NASTY GAL

Double Braid

This is not a two braids into one hair tutorial, well actually it will just look like that. But, it's not hard at all, trust me. During the summertime it's nice to take out your ripped up denim shorts and a cute top with a tomboy denim shirt. And try this cute hairstyle! I've found this tutorial on Sincerely, Kinsey and I'm really starrting to love that blog. This beautiful hair tutorial is quick and it looks great with everything.


Preparation: a small rubber band hair tie, a few bobby pins.

Begin with your hair down. Take a section of yor hair from the thicker side of your hair, and braid all the way down. It will lie flat on your head best if you angle it back as you're braiding it. Next, slightly tug all along the braid, to make it look thicker. One the braid is done, pin it on the back far side of your head underneath the top layers of your hair, covering the bobby pin. After that braid the rest your hair into a side braid. Do the same thing like with the frirst braid, tug it all the way down. If the wind isin't cooperating, take a few spritz of hairspray to keep it in place.

Happy Wednesday friedns!

Ombre Hair Is Back

Most of you would say "Oh please, that's so last year's hairstyle", but I don't think so. Well yes it was a trend one or two years ago, but it's back! After the big pastel hair hit for summer, it became the new hair trend for this Autumn 2012 collection (my source - British Vouge). There are so many types of ombre hair, but I'm thinking on brown to pale blonde ends (I prefer that look better) or you can just play with colours. A whole host of colour combinations were on show at Prada.

A lot of women ask what to tell their hairdresser so they could get the look that ther're asking for. The answer is very simple, just show them a picture and they'll know exactly what to do. But if you really don't  have any money, you can go and try to find some online tutorials for a DIY ombre hair look. I've alredy searched a little bit, and found a great tutorial also on Zoella - DIY Ombre Hair. Tell me what you think!
