God a week goes by fast! I've been drinking coffee non-stop all day in the hopes of not falling asleep while driving to the airport tonight to pick up my sister. Now that I'm all jittery, my mom tells me that she has decided to come along...well to late now. The good thing is that I probably won't be able to sleep until very late so I'll have some time to respond to all the lovely comments I've been getting.

I know everybody is head over heels for the AA v-neck shirt but I really don't get it. I bought some and the feel of the cotton doesn't even compare to those from UO. The bonus, they are so much cheaper and tend to go on sale for 10$ a pop!!! I love the fact that they are kind of see-through and that they have a vintage feel (that you can get in all colors!!). Don't get me wrong, I still wear my AA ones to death but if I had to chose...

A lot of you have asked me about yesterday's hairstyle. It's really easy to do and take no more than 5 minutes. This is one of my hairstyles of choice when my hair isn't so fresh anymore (not to say dirty...lol). You just have to leave two front pieces loose and braid two small loose braids on each side of your head. Afterwards, you fold the braid over on top of your head and use bobby-pins to secure them in place. Be sure to tuck under the elastic you used to fasten each braid for a nice polished look. Also, this hairstyle tends to be easier to do on messy hair so for first timers I would recommend doing it this way until you perfect your art...lol.

Aw you're adorable with your braid tutorial!!!

I loved your bit about the UO deep v's! I agree, the UO ones are softer than the AA ones, but the aa ones plunge a bit more...it's kind of a trade off I guess lol!

I love the grey sleeveless cardigan!! It looks amazing with the tee and the skirt!

Good luck staying up to the wee hours to get your sister at PET ;)

BTW- how BRUTAL and non-spring like were the winds today?!!!
Omgod and that totally reminds me! I was on st catherine and stanley and I swear I thought I saw you! lol! Turns out, just someone who looks like you!

Braids always look so much better on you blondes. People can never see them on my dark brown hair. :(

Thanks for dropping by!

Your hair is perfection! I was just thinking about posting on my love for bohemian braids. If I do would you mind if I used your photo and linked you, yours just looks so great! I'm a putz and can't french braid my hair so I always have wimpy, substance-less braids :(

I absolutely adore you outfit and thanks for the lovely tutorial! I am definitely gonna try it tomorrow:)

Sol said...

I don't get the fuss about AA tees either. The ones from UO (and even Old Navy - loads cheaper!) are pretty great too. I love the fact that they're sort of see-through too. I wear them two or three times a week (not the same tee though) so it'd have to be super good quality to keep their original shape/color/quality after all those washes!

Your hair always looks amazing, i'm loving the braided styles!
Oh and the golden belt.. GREAT finishing touch to the outfit.

Ashley said...

Lovely hair, but for some reason the braids are not working out for me, do you start much lower down the hair?
