Tie n' Style a Hair Warp

There are so many ways of tiying you hair warp. In this tutorial, make sure that the hair warp has a wire in inside. That will help you style it and it'll hold your hair better. For the original post and a DIY tutorial for this hair warp go to Kelly Hicks. The tutorial is easy and won't take a lot of time. Have fun with stylin' your chic handmade headbands.

Michael Kors Hamilton Bag

I've been looking for MK Hamilton bags past weeks and it was so difficult to pick a single one among all gorgeous colors they have this season. Its elegant design with chic details (and many useful pockets inside to fit all the girl has to carry with herself :) ) made me crazy about it and neutral orange goes with so many items from my closet :)

For late afternoon drink (here sun shines until 9pm) I chose pleated Chicwish dress that feels really comfortable in the warm breeze. This amazing blue color always makes me feel positive.

Stylish Side Ponytail

Now that it's hot everyday we all need a simple stylish hairstyle that we can make without using heat. This is a very quick hair tutorial that I've personally made. Actually the first one I made. My sister Anya has been very helpful and agreed to be my model for this post. We hope you'll like it and be surprised how such a wonderful pony can be made in less that 4 min.

Preparation: tease the back hair on the top of you head. For more volume read the prev. post, or just use a dry shampoo. After you put on the shampoo leave it like that for a few minutes, or you'll be left wit a powdery mess.

Start by moving your hair to the side that has more hair. Tie it into a low ponytail. Note: if your hair has layers, use a few bobby pins to pin the fallen out parts. Pull the elastic down, just enough to make a hole (see picture 4.). Take the rest of your hair and put it in the hole. After that just tight it and style as you want. Pretty simple, ha?

Black Backless Dress

Voluminous Braided Up-do

How to get volume to your hair? That's something that I always ask myself because my hair is stick straight and pretty heavy, so curls can't last long. To get more volume the hair must be airy and you must start making volume from the moment you finished washing your hair. I have a tutorial for that - Blow Dry Basics. So after you've done that, head back here and start this amazing braid crown updo. The source of this tutorial is from Keiko Lynn, so for more info on how to make this hairstyle go there.

If your hair needs more texture, you can use a dry shampoo. This will make the teasing past a lot easier.
Spray at your roots, lifting as you go. Wait a minute or two and comb it through of else you'll be left with a powdery mess. Then divide your hair into two sections, like you're doing a half updo. back comb underneath the top half and smooth over the top.

Pin the newly teased section (make sure the top layer is smooth, to cover the mess) with a couple bobby pins. You can give the bump a little boost if you want.

Divide your hair into two sections and braid them. You can tie them using a elastic, or leave them loose.

Pull each braid to the opposite side of you head and pin them in place. You can tuck the ends underneath each braid. And that's it! Have fun!

New In: Spring Sweater & DIY Shorts

Hey everyone! I just came back from the town, well more shopping. I was so excited to show you my new soft & a little lacy spring grey sweater. I have loved these kinds of sweaters since I knew for myself. They are very useful. If, let's say spring isn't very warm like expected, or when those summer nights get a little chilly.

A few days ago, I used some old jeans to make this cool shorts that you see. It took me less than 5 min to make it . And I know that mostly all of you know the simple steps for turning some old jeans into a shorts, but still, if I already photographed it, why not post it?

As you can see, It's really fluffy & soft. And the dark grey color looks great. It can be worn with a tank underneath, just because it has those little dimples all over it. But it's also very warm, and made of wool. It's just a casual look that i love.

And here's the simple quick DIY project. Using a pen, mark the length of your new shorts. Note: mark it to be a little longer that you want just so you could fold the ends. Cut the jeans by following the line. After that fold the ends - see picture 3. Sew it on the sides so it won't fold back. To secure everything, iron the ends, from the front side and back side. Well that's it, have you made any DIY shorts recently?

Inside Out French Braid & Twist

If you need to go on some important event, and there's a problem. Your hair. How to make it look perfect with enough romantic look and enough sophistication? And plus, if you're having a bad hair day? The answer is very simple - inside out french braid. It'll correct your bad hair day, and the thickness of the hair is not important. My biggest tip is to let it be a little messy. Hairspray is not used here, but if your hair has layers, use some flexible and strong hairspray. Thank you The Beauty Dep. for sharing!

Divide your hair diagonally into 3 sections. Push the 2 side sections in front of your shoulders. Do an inside out french braid. You'll need to go just past the bottom hairline so you'll have the room to tuck the hair under later. Gently and slowly, pull the french braid apart. Keep pulling until it starts to look like "loops". If those with layers have a problem in this part, just use some hairspray and tuck in some loose pieces. Now, tuck in the tail of the braid under and pin it in place (try to use large bobby pins). It should look like this - see photo 5. Next take one of your side pieces and tease them. Then twist and drape it across the back. Pin it and repeat the process on the other side. Add extra bobby pins if you think some parts are loose.

Lazy Top Bun

It's time to play a little with your hair. Try out new looks and techniques, and start with this simple look. Keiko, a beautiful blogger from Keiko Lyinn did this quick, well let's say little loose bun-ponytail hybrid. Why did I choose this tutorial? Well, it's very basic. Playing with high ponytails and volume is a great way to start. As she said in the video, the hair's best texture is day after you wash it. Fell free to take a tour through my blog, and find all kinds of hair tutorials from all over the web. Happy Friday friends!

Messy Twist Updo

A quick twist and done. Ivania from Love Aesthetics really made it look so simple. Her unconventional style shines through this hairstyle. And the big earrings, are a great contrast to this low casual hair twist. As she said, she likes when hair looks a little bin neglected. Try it out, maybe it'll become your everyday hair routine.

DIY: Neon Toe Shoes

Oh my, how beautiful! Instead of spending a lot of money on buying, why not take 5 minutes and make them? And then also saving money? To make everything more funny & interesting, try to paint some patterns. Like polka dots, or stripes. After that, wear proudly your art pieces.

Supplies: shoes, some paint spray and tape. Take the tape and stick it where you want the color to end. After that carefully spray on that section. Let it dry, and done! If you want some dots or stripes, use paint & a brush.

Low Side French Braid

Hey guys! I hope you like the new things that I've added to the blog. First the new navigation bar, looks nice right? And then there's an image slideshow. There's a problem with it, so please don't try to click on the pictures. They are not linked, so go and look for the post in the archive, or use Blogger search. Until I fix that, tell me what you think about it?

This hairstyle is so easy to make for those who know how to make a simple french braid. It can also be an low updo. And it's really romantic and casual. The best thing is that you can make it with medium length hair. Thank you Maegan from ...love Maegan. This tutorial is amazing!

Preparation: The most important thing about this hairstyle is texture. After you wash your hair, let it air dry, so it'll be all fluffy. Also curl a little side of your hair, for the effect. Don't forget to follow the video properly.
