My Outfit + Go-To Hair

Dress: Vintage, Sweater: BCBG, Pumps: Jessica Simpson, Sunglasses: Forever 21, Earrings: White’s Jewelry

Lately I have been totally into the high bun. It has always intimidated me a bit because I don’t like to rat my hair. But once I figured out how to do it, I can’t stop! It’s so easy and it can prolong a hair wash for 2-3 days! It also turns any outfit from humdrum to posh. The best tutorial I’ve found is from Beth Jones (here). Do you like these outfit posts or are they annoying?

A Walk in the Park

I’m loving this spread with the gorgeous hair, textures and furs. It reminds me of the kind of weather we can look forward to. Lots of barren trees but green poking through everywhere.

With no vacation in sight (honeymoon? too far away) and two feet of snow on the ground, indulge me as I daydream.
