By A Hair

Yesterday I planned to spend a relaxing day. My big plans included spending a couple hours doing some actual work followed by a date with my DVR and catching up with some of my favorite blogs. Instead my sister Tiffany called in a panic state because she lost the diamond in her engagement ring. Tiffany was stuck at work and could not leave. Jessica and I spent the better part of the morning and afternoon retracing Tiffany's steps in an attempt to find the diamond. We were unsuccessful. Fortunately, one of Tiffany's coworkers late this evening found the diamond in the parking lot where Tiffany works.

Tomorrow it is back to work and I am seriously not prepared. I am just feeling tired and in need of a break lately. Any tips on being more upbeat and getting over this slump?

I got my hair cut recently. I ended up not getting as much taken off as I had originally planned and I am now really happy that I didn't. I have been so many great styles that I want to try out in the upcoming holiday season that require a longer length. I tend to be someone who just goes with the slightly messy/wavy look in the mornings but I am ready to up my game. Above are 4 styles I am going to try out soon.

I love this simple hairstyle that has been worn by models and celebrities alike and can easily help make you look runway ready. A top knot can be achieved in only minutes but yet looks very sophisticated and has a slight Parisian feel. Plus, it is versatile enough to be worn anywhere from the office, to dinner, to out with friends. Have you embraced this look that was once reserved (at least by me) to time spent lounging around the house?

Upsy-Daisy

I happen to think that hairstyles play a crucial role in your look. The warmer weather of Spring and Summer always reminds me of how much I love updos. They are both sexy and fresh. I also think they add a sense of chicness and glamour to both day time and evening looks.

However, while looks such as a messy bun seem to be easy and no fuss it remains something I have yet to master. I have become determined to devote some time this weekend to finding tutorials and practicing so that next week I can walk into work looking stunning. Any advice? And how do you wear usually style your hair in the mornings?

J'adore

These are a few of the things I love this week. I love sheer almost nude nail polish and I think Ballerina by Chanel may be the most perfect color right now with its subtle hint of pink. Beautiful loose updos with soft curls seem like the perfect hairstyle as it starts to warmup outside. Daffodils have always been how I judge when Spring is getting close. As soon as I notice them blooming are the river banks and along the roadway on my drive home from work I know the end of Winter is just around the corner. Cuties are one of my favorite foods at the moment. I have been eating two for lunch for days and the sweet stickers on them always make me smile. Today mine said "a party in your tummy" and "hi cutie." How I wish I had the space in my bedroom for a beautiful armoire like this. Full length mirrors. An antique feel. And slightly distressed white paint. Absolute perfection.
