Pictures I took in Richmond Park with Mellody who ran away afraid of a deer. We also got so entertained taking pictures that we forgot that a storm was coming. As a result we got soaked wet I mean really wet, running down the streets of East Sheen.

Friday's Film: Butterfly Weave

Here's a video showing you a new twist on one of our all time favorite hairstyles, The Butterfly Wings.  (You can find the original post for Butterfly Wings here.)

It's very simple and had people stopping us all day asking how it was done.

Here's a closer look at the style. 

We started with an off-centered part on the front because I like how that makes the hair look. 

Depending on how long your princess's hair is, you should be able to just let the ends of your woven strands hang down.  If they are a bit short, you can secure them with bobby pins.    

You can also curl the rest of the hair that is hanging down for a more elegant look.

Pull-Through Crown

This is a style that we will be using over and over again because I love the look of it and it holds all day long. 

You have to start this style by first creating the Butterfly Wing style found here.  Make only three butterfly wings instead of gathering all the hair as done in the original post.  Once you have your three rows of butterfly wings you are ready to move on. 

Begin on the left side of the head and grab a small section of hair just below the bottom twist and right next to the ear.  Comb it smooth and then feed it through the hoop of your Topsy Tail.  Feed the Topsy Tail over the top of the twists and then down behid the back and pull it through. 

This is essentially creating a Pull-Through right over the Butterfly Wings.  Grab another small section of hair right next to your first and repeat the steps.  Do this all the way along that left side until you have come to your elastics in the middle.  (You can use as many sections of hair to create Pull-Throughs as you would like - they can be small or large, it really doesn't matter.) 

Now move over to the right side and repeat the same steps.  Once you have finished that you can complete the style by pulling the middle ponytail over the elastics in one final Pull-Through.  Pull that last one just tight enough to conceal the elastics but not to flip completely through.
