Dynamic Updo

Hi friends,

     Today I tried an interesting new braid pattern with three small accent braids stretching across to be braided into a French braid on the opposite side. I love the fresh new feel this look has, plus the fact that it was super-easy to create.







Princess braid & ocean view

Hi everyone,

     I remember when I first read about this hairstyle in a paperback book on hair-braiding. The book called this look a princess braid~ two lace braids combined in a single English braid. I like this hairstyle because it is easy to make but still looks nice.
     I love my new blue dress, and the chance to enjoy a beautiful ocean view. Thank you for coming by to see my new post.








A simple big bun

Hi friends,

     After my exciting hearts-in-blossom post, I came back down to earth with a simple big bun :-)  I received the beautiful hairclip as a gift, so beautiful.  Of course I have several tiny clips and bobby pins hidden in my bun to help keep my hair up and in place all day long.
     Thank you for coming to see my pictures!  And thanks for following my Facebook page, this week I reached 1,300 page-likes!











Hearts-in-Blossom Braid

Hello friends,

     I am so excited to share these pictures with you.  I love this beautiful blossom braid!  Several friends (and even my aunt) have sent me the same picture of a braided hairstyle that is very popular on Facebook, so I knew I had to try this look for myself.  My version is a pull-through braid, but with each section of ponytail holders I pulled on the edges to give my braid the blossom effect.  And since this braid looks like a row of hearts, "Hearts-in-Blossom" seemed like the perfect name :-)

Shabby-Chic Dutch Braids

Hi everyone,

I hope you are having a wonderful and relaxing week-end.  Today I fixed my hair in two Dutch braids that I pulled on to give the blossom effect.  It's funny how you can actually put effort into making a hairstyle appear messy~ shabby chic, perhaps?













5-strand French braid

Hi everyone,

Today I braided my hair in a 5-strand French braid.  My bun is actually a regular 3-strand braid that I wound up and clipped in place with little butterfly clips.
