GOT THE BLUES' - Chambray & Boyfriend Blazer

I got so many comments asking me how my braid was so, well, fluffy. It's a subtle difference, but there are three steps for a more dramatic side braid. Step 1) Part your hair on the opposite side of your natural part, if you have a center part (lucky!) just choose the side that feels most unnatural and create a deep side part. Step 2) Braid your hair starting with the group furthest away from your face. This will create that little bang pocket near your face. Step 3) Pull the braid apart, gently. Try flattening pieces of the braid by tugging at the strands. This is the key to a fuller, fluffier braid. Voilà!

I had so many people mention that they loved the boyfriend blazer look, that I wanted to feature a more downtown version. Leather on leather is such a urban look, but when you pair it with a flowy blouse and tailored blazer it really sets the stage for style. Since its the end of April it will probably be the last time I get to wear a blazer & boots for a while, so here's to the sunshine. Cheers.

You can't certain about many things in life. Can't be certain about the people you meet or how your day will go, but you can be certain about one thing: the sun will rise again tomorrow. Regardless of if you spend your day lying in a bed or stuck in a cubicle, the dawn will become dusk, and the cycle will repeat it's again tomorrow. 

What will you do with your day?

P.S. My hair was inspired by this great pin !

My heart has been aching for a statement necklace for months, and when I laid my eyes on this beauty I knew she had to be mine. I found her nestled in a little corner at the Gift Exhibit at America's Mart when I when with my mom this past Sunday. I quickly snatched her up and plan to keep her forever. 

Welcome to the family
