Werk the Waterfall

Its time to end this summer with what has been flooding its way through pinterest one braid at a time. 


True Braided Waterfall!


Now, we have shown this braid before using two strands here...so, now lets get intermediate and try a third strand!


Follow these simple steps. 










1. As if youre pulling your hair back to go half up half down, pull a good chunk of hair and start your braid crossing over three strands once. 
2. Next, Take chunk of hair from the top of your head, and place it inside the braid, like we did in our previous post linked above. 
3. Cross over each strand (once) just like you are creating a normal braid, then grab a new strand from the top and slide in into the braid again! 


Check out this summer variation below, just add a bun!

Perfectly Pink...

First making a flawless appearance on Emma Stone, the pink and red duo have been around for almost two seasons now...and yet, we still love it. 


Check out how we paired this look for Florida fun.. 


Pair with flats or a wedge, gold bangles and Waaaa-Laaaahhh. 



Transition Tantrum

The summer months are slowly crawling closer to fall and its time to start selecting your summer transitional pieces! Our favorite, and most obvious, color for this times O' turning would definitely have to be red--and variations of the sort. Red revives the youth of summer, it can be worn in outfit neutrals or on your smackers. Its the versatile color of transition...





Embracing your hair color and skin tone is a MUST when using reds on your lips to make your palette pop. Remember our number 1 rule, if you play up lips, play down eyes! 

Auburn/Brunette/blond- Pink Undertones. 

I use Deep reds and pinks with blue undertones (blue makes your teeth look whiter). Think Berry, Cherries,  and true reds. Steer clear of orange-red but feel free to embrace coral (a more pink-orange). 


Auburn/Brunette/Blond/Reds- Olive Undertone
Go crazy! You're a talent of reds! You can use burgundy shades, to tangerine red! Rock deep reds with purple hues--A La wine colored.
