Karlie Kloss' Chop

The 'Karlie' or 'Chop' has already been named the haircut of the year by The New York Times.  The swingy, one-length, lightly layered, banged bob is a modern update of “sexy sixties” icons Jane Birkin and Jean Shrimpton. The length, just south of her chin, give or take and inch, is universally flattering according to Garren Defazio, who chopped Karlie's hair for this Vogue article late last year.

If you aren't ready to go quite that short, Alexa Chung's has been rocking her signature mid-length choppy cut for years. . .

Braid Wednesday

Have you heard of the flickr group 'braid wednesday'?  I was let in on the fun by Kate Miss.  It's such a fun way to break up the middle of the week and try some new techniques.  Once you have the basic skills you can freeform all kinds of crazy braids.

Here is some inspiration for Braid Wednesday:

Lookbook: Night at the Movies

I finally went to see The Help last night (very sweet.)  It's so fun to dress up a little to make going to the movies a little more special.  Besides, who wouldn't want to throw on a biker jacket and some heels?

Lookbook: Back to School

It's finally starting to heat up this summer and it's already time to go back to school.  I love the teal color of this A.P.C dress: just add a great bag, chunky slides, and some loose plaits.

Flower Child

I am obsessed with these gorgeous shots by photographer Daniel Gurton for Vs. Magazine.  The ethereal 60s style and the plaited hair by hair and makeup artist Monica Gingold.  Love.

Happy Friday!

Here's to a relaxing weekend.  I'll be working on a little birthday surprise for my niece...

P.S. These updos are perfection.

LEAF - The Turband

I love this tutorial on tying turbands, three different ways: the I Love Lucy, the Hermès Way, and the Moroccan Princess. I need to buy some scarves, pronto.
