Picture Day Do

I'm not sure why my princess had her school pictures so late this year but the time finally rolled around and this is the hairstyle we chose.  (Even though I didn't even order any because I do my own pictures- but we will get a yearbook at the end of the year and her shot will be in there.)

Begin by sectioning out the bangs from ear to ear and separate them (a little off-centered) into two pieces.  Use some product to keep the fly-aways down and pull the two sides tightly down to the back of the head - underneath the rest of the hair - where you will secure them together with an elastic.

Now gather another larger section of hair from ear to ear. 

 Before you secure it, you'll want to back comb the underneath a bit and then smooth out the top to give it some lift. 

Now go ahead and secure it up with 6-8 bobby pins.  Make sure they're all making the "X" shape so they won't lose their grip through the day. 

Now we grabbed out waver and waved the rest of her hair.  We own both the old fashion 80's Conair waver with the curved plates and the three-barrel iron waver.  The 80's one works SO MUCH BETTER!  Unfortunately their kind of hard to find now but keep your eyes peeled on Ebay or at yard sales.  :)

We finished it all off by inserting her jewel spiral accessories that just twist right into the hair.  We've made our own several times using the spiral paperclips found at scrapbooking stores but we actually purchased these ones at Walmart last week and absolutely love them.

Barrel Roll Bun

This one is a really pretty one that is so simple. 

 Begin with the hair wet and tightly gather it into a high ponytail.  Now divide the ponytail into as many equal sections as you would like.  We've done 7 sections on this bun. 

To create a Barrel Roll you'll want to comb out a section until it is nice and smooth and then wrap it around your two index fingers and roll the fingers over themselves which will roll the hair down toward the head. 

Once you have a roll, secure it to the head with bobby pins. 

Do this with every one of your sections and you can have your Barrel Rolls facing any direction you like. 

When all of them have been pinned, spray the bun really well with hairspray. 

 We've finished ours off with some little jewels on spirals that we've just twisted into the rolls so they look like they're floating.  We've also added some jeweled bobby pins around the base of the bun. 

but the blues are still blue

Good morning! I'm having breakfast while my spotify plays belle & sebastian. I'm going out somewhere I still don't know where but I gotta dress up! x

I haven't been inspired or interested on going out for shopping, mainly because everytime I go I can't find anything interesting. I don't know what is happening to me, ain't no big deal anyway but in the other hand I've got plenty ideas about customizing or designing clothes, so I decided to design clothes that I like and then let my mom sew them. My mom used to have a small bikini factory and she used to sew clothes as well but now she's no longer in that business, so she needs to buy a sewing machine again and I can't wait for it, therefore I will be able to wear things that I really like without struggling myself to find nice clothes in thrift stores.
