Beauty | Hair Tutorial // Pretty Wrapped Ponytail with a Twist

Spring Couture in Pastels
I am IN LOVE with the Spring 2012 Couture collection from Elie Saab. Dripping iced pastels, florals and beadwork symmetrically embroidered over layers of sheer fabric with a nod to 50’s and 60’s silhouettes and femininity, with a hint of moxie. It’s simply stunning. Even the wedding gown {above}, though almost out of place amongst …

Of all the creative outlets I prefer, cooking, baking, really anything involved in making things with food, are not high on my list.
