Suit Yourself

Hey everyone--

I am loving jumpsuits right now! This black jumpsuit makes me feel like Beyonce. If you want an outfit that is sure to make you feel fierce, try a jumpsuit this season! I've seen so many fun colorful and printed jumpsuits recently. However, I chose black because I felt that it was more flattering and sophisticated. 

To accessorize, I chose a sequined clutch, black geometric earrings and black heels. Deb Shops has this adorable clutch in fuchsia and black. & My entire head to toe look is from +Deb Shops!

Happy May!

Hair How To: Twisted Low Bun

Hey everyone--

I've teamed up with Deb Shops to do a hair how-to tutorial! I'm going to show you how to get the hairstyle that I wore in my Cobalt Craze post. This twisted low bun, is the perfect look to rock in warmer weather! I love this style so much, because it does not have to be perfect. Actually, it looks better to be a bit messier. Follow these easy steps to for a simple, breezy bun!

Have a very Happy Easter friends!

Materials: Bobby Pins, Hair Tie, Hair Spray

Instructions:
1. First, take a large section of hair from one side of your head and gently twist it backwards. 

2. Bobby pin that section of your hair to secure the twist you created. You want all of your pieces to be secure against your head and not loose, hanging in front of your face. 

3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 with a large section of hair from the other side of your head. 

4. Gather your hair in a loose, low ponytail and secure it with a hair tie.

5. In the hair above the hair tie, create a part. Use your fingers to pull the hair apart and create a "hole". 

6. Lift your low ponytail up, then take it down and pull it through the hole to create a twist in the sides of your hair. This will be the most confusing step. Don't worry, you might have to try it a few times to get it just right!

7. Once you pull your hair through the hole, you will have a nicely twisted low ponytail. Take the ponytail and tuck it up into twisted top that you created. Use bobby pins to secure the ends of your hair to your head and make sure that a low bun is created and your ends are hidden. 

8. Take little pieces out of the bun and fasten them around the bun to create a more twisted, messy look. This is your chance to make the bun look how you want it to. There is not one way to do it, just experiment!

9. Hairspray your entire look, front to back and you are now finished! Now go out and rock it!
