Friday's Film: Tied Updo

Thanks for being patient while we were on vacation for a couple weeks.  We had a fabulous time in Hawaii and I wanted to share this picture of a French Braid that we found in Oahu:

 They have taken individual palm fronds and wrapped them around the stems of the trees and French Braided them. 

 They did a pretty good job don't you think?!

The hairstyle we've decided to share today is called the Tied Updo and it's simple yet beautiful.  The original inspiration for this hairstyle can be found on my Pinterest board here.

My princess has such dark hair when it is wet but hopefully you are still able to follow the instructions.

Here is a picture of the finished product.  Cute huh!

 

I wish that our puff was a bit bigger which would be an advantage to working with dry hair. 

 

You can use as many bobby pins as you need when securing your bow. 

Good luck and remember that practice makes perfect!

Kate Mara Look For Less < $65

Kate Mara has become one of my new style icons-while there isn't a ton of coverage of her yet, the pictures I have seen have all sparked my interest in her style.  Plus, she sure is a beauty! Did anyone else watch "American Horror Story"? She was pretty creepy in that show, but I kind of loved her character.  I love this look below-the unexpected color pairings, and the laid-back vibe. I would totally rock a cropped tee if I had the flat stomach like hers!
