suno

MESSY CHIGNONS were seen on the runway at suno, rachel zoe and proenza schouler. to update the look, leave hair unwashed and style after a day. leave your hair slightly messy for a "just rolled out of bed" look. this kind of hair is great for any spring/summer parties. learn how here and here.

NATURAL WAVEdefinitely my favourite trend (because its so close to my hair and the easiest to re-create). get perfect loose waves here or beachy waves here. use a good sea salt spray, scrunch hair and you're set to go!

ELEGANT PONYTAILS this is probably the most difficult of the four trends. start with straightening your hair (or if you already have straight hair, make sure its not frizzy). learn how to make similar styles here and here.

hope this helps, and happy styling!

i found these two items at french connection on boxing day. i love the zipper detailing on the pants and they look my butt look good :) the shirt is so versatile because of all the neutrals in the shirt and i think i'll be wearing it a lot. i got some very cool pants from zara as well and i think they'll be worn to my birthday party :) happy holidays !

nail polish in burnt caramel; hair in a loose, braided halo. it's cooled down significantly in toronto since last week. to avoid looking excessively hippie, i wore dark wash, boot cut jeans rather than the lighter, slouchy pair i originally pictured this outfit with. i am only going to school, after all. check out the album below by I Break Horses, my favourite new Swedish duo; i've been hooked on it all morning!
