Talvez eu seja pequena lhe cause tanto problema que já não lhe cabe me cuidar

The last few weeks were a bit chaotic, after brisk work and being so spry. I can finaly give my clumsy hands from writing a little break. Hmm, guess I use them now as a book holder and for coffee-making. By the way I just finished a book today, - 1933 was a bad year by John Fante and now I read a few short stories by Kafka. Have you got a favourite book? If so, I would like to know :)

Vacation

Hi everyone,

We will be taking a 3 week vacation to finish out our summer break before the kids head back to school.  This means that we will also be taking a short break from hairstyles.  :(  As soon as we get back we will resume our posts and tutorials.  Thanks so much for your patience and have a wonderful end to your summer as well!

Sincerely,

Julie

Friday's Film: Inside Out Bun Revisited

So I was watching the video from last Friday of our Inside Out Bun.  You can find that original post here.  I realized that there is a much easier way to accomplish the same desired look.  Here's a video that will same you some time on your Inside Out Bun:

See, now wasn't that much easier?!

Here's a pictures of our new Inside Out Bun and you can see that it looks just like the first.

I will always take the easier edition if it looks just as good!  :)

A blue dress

On a summer afternoon with Lucio. The dress is actually from my aunt and I have no idea from where she got it, it's pretty old but I really like it, especially its colour and white buttons. Oh the warm weather makes me feel so lazy..

Mohawks

This is not really a "princess" hairstyle but my two oldest boys were so excited about their new Mohawks that they wanted me to post about it on the blog.  :)

They were both in desperate need of a haircut and I told them they could choose how they wanted it until school started. 

They both chose a Mohawk hairstyle and I agreed just because I know I have the power to change it back before school. 

I first used a rat-tail comb and sectioned out the Mohawk area and then I used TONS of gel and shaped it how I wanted it to look. 

Then I just grabbed the shaver with a #3 attachment on it and went to work shaving the sides. 

The younger one pictured here decide that it was too high maintenance of a hairstyle for him so he now just has a short buzz but my other son absolutely LOVES his Mohawk.  We ended up eventually shaving the back part off so that just the top was spiky because the back was always getting mashed in the car anyway.  It looks much better now.  :) 

Boys will be boys!

Dutch Crown

I was on Pinterest recently and came across this amazing hairstyle.  We are calling it the Dutch Crown and the picture is below. 

You can find the original link here which will give you a much larger view of the picture and instructions.

This is our attempt at the hairstyle and I really like how it turned out. 

The length of my princess's hair had it her braid ending directly above her right ear and it turned out nicely.

By starting the Dutch Braid down at the bottom, it wrapped around the head more evenly.  

 A very simple and beautiful hairstyle!
