Last night my friend was messing with my hair, and she ended up trying corn-rows. I really liked how they looked, so I kept them in. It's a really fun look, and I'm lovin' it. A plus is that your hair doesn't look greasy! (: As for the outfit, I got these new shoes during the Nordstrom sale and they are so hot! I haven't worn them much, hopefully they're comfy. Also, one of my favorite pair of pants! I've wanted some color, cropped skinnies for a while, and once I saw these I had to get them. Sorry I haven't posted for a while, it's been a hectic week. Hope everyone is having a good summer! Thanks again to all my followers and readers!

Rainbow Braid

I recently started following Jenny's blog. 

I saw this post and decided to share it.

It's such a great idea!

Can't wait to try it.

p.s. turn off my blog's music at the bottom of the page to listen to the video (:



It's Feelin' Like An Artsy Day

Off to the Portland Art Museum I go!

I spent my Saturday afternoon wandering the museum looking for some photographs (had to do with a photograpy project I was working on).

It's an interesting place.

A good experience.

Let's just say, one times enough. (:

• blazer: Necessary Objects (Nordstrom Rack)
• shorts: Joit (Nordstrom Rack)
• tights: unknown (Nordstrom Rack)
• Handbag: Marc Jacobs (Nordstrom)
• checkered scarf: unknown (unknown)

It's not a coincidence that almost everything I own is from Nordstrom Rack; it's my mama's favorite store to shop (:

Braids

I got inspired in cosmetology class. We had a class on braiding, and I finally mastered the french braid! A few of my favorite braided hairstyles:

the classic side braid:

upside-down, french braided bun:

a braided nest:

little-girl ponytails:

an interesting take on a fish-tail:

braided headband:

off-to-the-side french braid:

Which one is your favorite?

I dedicate this to Inna Bachinskaya, the genius braider (:
