A few weeks ago I styled my hair in this high French twist {featured in this outfit post} and had requests for an instructional hair tutorial. So here it is 😉 It’s a fun look because it sort of mimics a faux-hawk or a short haircut if you slick the sides back. If you leave …

But the key to building a long-lasting and polished wardrobe that will stand the test of time, guarantee you look stylish for decades, and keep …
I have been waiting and waiting for the weather to turn chilly and the leaves to fall to do a jewel-inspired manicure. And even though it still seems a bit early, I’ll just offer it as inspiration for the coming holiday months. I think this will be a perfect late November {aka Thanksgiving} and Christmas …
What I’m Wearing… * Current/Elliott ~ The boyfriend jean… seen here. I love these jeans. In fact, I may never wear tight jeans again. Well, probably not, but still, the baggy pants remind me of the 90’s and are so so so comfy. I also bought them a size bigger so they’d be extra baggy …
