Rosario Dawson Look for Less < $75

Everytime I see a sweet white dress in a store (like this one... ) I always want to snatch it up because it looks so sweet and summery. But I never pick one up because they always seem so impractical. How should I style a summery white dress in a way that makes it wearable every day? I think this bright scarf and simple black flats that Rosario Dawson is wearing here is perfect!

Friday's Films: French 4-Strand & French 5-Strand

We've had more than a few requests for these videos so I'm finally getting them up for you.

First of all we have the French 4-Strand:

Hopefully that makes sense for you and will help.

Here's a picture of the finished French 4-Strand. This is cool because it's half a French Braid and half a Dutch Braid!

You can see that this side is the "French" half.

And this side is the "Dutch" half.

We just finished it off with a 4-Strand Braid and secured it with an elastic.

Next we have the French 5-Strand:

The fingering it definitely a bit more tricky as you plait this braid but it is one that gets much better after a couple practices.

Here's a picture of one of our finished French 5-Strand hairstyles and you can find the original post for this one here.

There is also this hairstyle that we did a couple weeks ago and it's a diagonal French 5-Strand. That original post is here.
