New In: Spring Sweater & DIY Shorts

Hey everyone! I just came back from the town, well more shopping. I was so excited to show you my new soft & a little lacy spring grey sweater. I have loved these kinds of sweaters since I knew for myself. They are very useful. If, let's say spring isn't very warm like expected, or when those summer nights get a little chilly.

A few days ago, I used some old jeans to make this cool shorts that you see. It took me less than 5 min to make it . And I know that mostly all of you know the simple steps for turning some old jeans into a shorts, but still, if I already photographed it, why not post it?

As you can see, It's really fluffy & soft. And the dark grey color looks great. It can be worn with a tank underneath, just because it has those little dimples all over it. But it's also very warm, and made of wool. It's just a casual look that i love. 

And here's the simple quick DIY project. Using a pen, mark the length of your new shorts. Note: mark it to be a little longer that you want just so you could fold the ends. Cut the jeans by following the line. After that fold the ends - see picture 3. Sew it on the sides so it won't fold back. To secure everything, iron the ends, from the front side and back side. Well that's it, have you made any DIY shorts recently?

Inside Out French Braid & Twist

If you need to go on some important event, and there's a problem. Your hair. How to make it look perfect with enough romantic look and enough sophistication? And plus, if you're having a bad hair day? The answer is very simple - inside out french braid. It'll correct your bad hair day, and the thickness of the hair is not important. My biggest tip is to let it be a little messy. Hairspray is not used here, but if your hair has layers, use some flexible and strong hairspray. Thank you The Beauty Dep. for sharing!

Divide your hair diagonally into 3 sections. Push the 2 side sections in front of your shoulders. Do an inside out french braid. You'll need to go just past the bottom hairline so you'll have the room to tuck the hair under later. Gently and slowly, pull the french braid apart. Keep pulling until it starts to look like "loops". If those with layers have a problem in this part, just use some hairspray and tuck in some loose pieces. Now, tuck in the tail of the braid under and pin it in place (try to use large bobby pins). It should look like this - see photo 5. Next take one of your side pieces and tease them. Then twist and drape it across the back. Pin it and repeat the process on the other side. Add extra bobby pins if you think some parts are loose. 

Lazy Top Bun

It's time to play a little with your hair. Try out new looks and techniques, and start with this simple look. Keiko, a beautiful blogger from Keiko Lyinn did this quick, well let's say little loose bun-ponytail hybrid. Why did I choose this tutorial? Well, it's very basic. Playing with high ponytails and volume is a great way to start. As she said in the video, the hair's best texture is day after you wash it. Fell free to take a tour through my blog, and find all kinds of hair tutorials from all over the web. Happy Friday friends! 

Messy Twist Updo

A quick twist and done. Ivania from Love Aesthetics really made it look so simple. Her unconventional style shines through this hairstyle. And the big earrings, are a great contrast to this low casual hair twist. As she said, she likes when hair looks a little bin neglected. Try it out, maybe it'll become your everyday hair routine.

DIY: Neon Toe Shoes

Oh my, how beautiful! Instead of spending a lot of money on buying, why not take 5 minutes and make them? And then also saving money? To make everything more funny & interesting, try to paint some patterns. Like polka dots, or stripes. After that, wear proudly your art pieces.

Supplies: shoes, some paint spray and tape. Take the tape and stick it where you want the color to end. After that carefully spray on that section. Let it dry, and done! If you want some dots or stripes, use paint & a brush. 

Low Side French Braid

Hey guys! I hope you like the new things that I've added to the blog. First the new navigation bar, looks nice right? And then there's an image slideshow. There's a problem with it, so please don't try to click on the pictures. They are not linked, so go and look for the post in the archive, or use Blogger search. Until I fix that, tell me what you think about it?

This hairstyle is so easy to make for those who know how to make a simple french braid. It can also be an low updo. And it's really romantic and casual. The best thing is that you can make it with medium length hair. Thank you Maegan from ...love Maegan. This tutorial is amazing!

Preparation: The most important thing about this hairstyle is texture. After you wash your hair, let it air dry, so it'll be all fluffy. Also curl a little side of your hair, for the effect. Don't forget to follow the video properly. 

Messy French Roll

Have you ever tried to make a french hair roll? This hairstyle is a little bit hard, and if you get confused, I recommend for you to consult with your hair stylist. But, If you think you have the skills required, here we go! 

Prepare yourself by good brushing your hair before you start. Then, take your hair and make a pony (don't tie it). Start by twisting and warping you hair up. Switch the remaining of your hair to the other side and pin the hair roll (so you could let go the remaining and pull some hair from your french roll). Tease it and style the way you want your french roll to look. To secure everything, pin some hair at the sides. And for the finish - add some strong but flexible hairspray.
