DIY wedding hair: Gibson roll

My dears, I'm excited to share our second wedding hair tutorial! My friend (and hair genius) Caroline adores this elegant twisted roll--and swears it's easy enough for brides to do themselves. So, we met at my favorite West Village wedding shop, and the wonderful Jamie Beck took photographs. Doesn't her hair look straight from the 1940's? So romantic.Here are Caroline's steps, if you'd like to

Yves Saint Laurent’s textured gold Arty rings are absolute...

First Jewelmint order ever! :) :) I’m excited.

Newest love for summer:  leather earrings. I love their colors, texture, large size—pretty much everything about them. You can basically create anything out of a square of leather and make them any color you want to boot, whether by using colored leather or slapping on some pretty paint.

I’m pretty drawn to the feather shaped earrings, as well as the tassels. I recently purchased a pair feather earrings from CyclonaDesigns and can’t wait for them to arrive!

Here are some of my favorites…

1. Cliolunia; 2. CyclonaDesigns; 3. EarthArtistry; 4. TheifandBandit;
5. FlagMountain; 6. TomGirl

Grab some and have fun, ladies!

DIY wedding hair: Chestnut bun

When I got married, I never would have thought of doing my own wedding hair, but my friend (and hair genius) Caroline swore this beautiful chestnut bun was simple enough for brides to do themselves. So, I invited her to a West Village wedding shop to explain the steps (and play dress up), and the wonderful Jamie Beck took photographs. Doesn't the elegant bun look like something Grace Kelly would

A braided crown

I'm excited to share another hair tutorial! Heidi braids, which go across the top of your head, are beautiful, but my friend Caroline wears hers in a different way: like a crown circling around her head. What a breezy summer style! She looks like a Danish princess. So I invited her over to explain how to do them, and the wonderful Jamie Beck took photographs.Here are Caroline's steps, if you'd

Braided top bun

Whenever I'm walking around downtown New York, I see tons of cute girls wearing buns on the tops of their heads. Well, what could be even better than a top bun? A braided top bun! My friend Caroline, a hair genius, came over to explain exactly how to get this easy spring look, and the fabulous Jamie Beck took photos.Here are Caroline's easy steps...1. This simple hairstyle is perfect for a warm

Three twisted buns

I'm excited to share another hair tutorial! You know those days when you want your hair to look pretty but you only have a minute? Well, my friend Caroline swears by this gorgeous set of three twisted buns ("like cinnamon rolls!" she says). So she came over to explain exactly how to do them, and the wonderful Jamie Beck took a few photographs. And guess what? They really were quick and easy.Here

Messy side ponytail

My lovelies, you know the messy side ponytail from J. Crew's spring lookbook? Well, I really wanted to learn how to do it myself, so I invited over my friend Caroline (who is a hair genius) to explain how to get the look, and the fabulous Jamie Beck took a few photographs. (What I love love love about this style is how the top looks like a beehive!) Here are Caroline's steps, if you'd like to try

Ha, what a cute print. It would be good to put next to the bathroom mirror.(Via Katie)

Isn't this bride's twisted bun beautiful? She looks right out of a Jane Austen novel.(Photos by Steep Street)

Fabric hair tie

Since Toby arrived on the scene, I've worn a ponytail almost every day. So, in an effort to jazz things up, I was happy to come across this idea of using a piece of fabric instead of a hair tie. Simple and pretty, don't you think?

Holiday hair

Whoa! I literally gasped when I saw this fiery red side chignon. The instructions are here, and her tomato red lipstick is Clinique's Red Red Red. Even if you wore a black turtleneck and jeans, you'd be the most glamorous girl at the party.(Via HipHipGinGin, This is Glamorous, and Wit & Delight. I couldn't help reposting!)

Hair knot

Oh my goodness, is this woman's hair simply tied in a knot? I don't even think they used ponytail holders! So cool. I really want to try it out but know I'd end up with a serious rat's nest.(Photos by Hanneli, via Wit & Delight)

How to do Heidi braids

I'm terrible at doing my hair and usually wear it in a messy bun. So I was excited to see that Julie did a post on how to do Heidi braids. What a cute fall look! Will you try it?
