spanish rose hairstyle diy

 I saw this hairstyle on a christian singer named Moriah Peters  and  as simple looking as it is, I knew I had to try it. It looks best on slender faces. I have a boxy heart shaped face,so it doesn't look to good on me,but I'm sure it will look fantastic on you all. :)

All you need  is;

Styling gel

a Comb

5-6 bobbing pins

Start with wet hair and your comb.

                      Part your hair 3 ways as shown below in the photo.

              
               Take the top half of your hair pull it back and
                              secure with bobbing pins.

      Next carefully pull th top up to make a small bump.

              Take your comb and pour a little bit of gel on it.

Use your comb in the two front sections,use the comb to make the sections smooth.

             
             Pull it tightly back and secure with bobbing pins.

Do the same to the other small front section.

Now flatter your new hairstyle with a flower.

Ta Da

See very simple hairstye, perfect for any event from a small party to a formal event.

a hairstyle for Easter....

Easter is only 2 days away...wow...time may not fly,but it sure does fast foreward. 0_0

--------------------------------------------------------

Anyway the main point of this post.

I was in my bathroom messing around with my hair and I thought I'ld test an idea I had, it turned out, so cute I decided I'ld wear it on Sunday!

Although there are a few small things like covering up the rubber band at the tops of my head that I'm going to make sure to remember to do when I do it again,but this is definitely a new favorite formal updo for me.

-take a look-

I based it off of 'this' hairstyle that I posted on last year,but made a few of my own modifications.

What do you think?

If you can't figure out how I did something based off the the video in my one post or your hair doesn't seem to want to work with you,so you'ld like some help,let me know and I'll either drop you a comment or I might end up doing a tutorial on it, depends on how many people need assistants.

Have a wonderful Easter everyone and don't forget to help out your mom if you having a

 Easter celebration at your house.

ever after hairstyles...

               My sister and I recently watched a movie called "Ever after" about the true cinderella (not exactly ture,but realistic),I LOVED this,cause no magic pumpkin and pretty practical,I don't know much about the royal court and medeval,so some things may have been some what far fetched,but for me I didn't notice if it was.

                                            I fell in love with Danielle's (aka cinderella) hairstyles.

                                                           The first one I especially liked,

           Okay,so I loved this one,but you need extentions,which are like $100,so yeah not buying them.
But my guess is the either got a a braid the same color as her hair and attached it or they added extensions by using all her except the front created a 3-D braid then added extensions to the back of her head,then combed her front hair back and then wrapped the braid around her head. That is just my theory of this hairstyle.

                                                    The second one I love doing on my hair,

They divided the hair down the middle( I personally divide my hair at the side)

then took the front of each side and started a tight french braid then when you get in front of the ear stop french braiding and continue with a regualr braid. Bring both braids to meet in the back secure with a clear elastic and your done.

                     Her ball hairstyle I liked,though it didn't draw my attention when I was watching the movie,cause I was looking at her beautiful gown,her delicate wings,and crazy makeup(which I don't think they would've done it like that in that time period,but it was still neat,I would do it for a masque ball.)...

It looks like they did  a 3-D heidi braid and included a string of gold bead in the braid,and they most likely pulled the braid a little bit to make them wider.

FYI:  a 3-D braid is when you do a regualr braid ,but you change it up a bit by going under instead over when braid with your 3 strands of hair.

And this hairstyle is very similar to the first.

All thats changed is her hair is curled a bit and she has a jewelery type of crown/headband.

Cute right?

Now last,but not least her hairstyle when shes....welll,I won't spoil the story if you haven't seen it and are going to. ;)

This hairstyle is quite tricky looking to me.

To me it looks like they combed her hair back leaving the middle down and braided 2 pieces with the rest of the hair. Added her beanie (I guess thats what I'll call it.) secured that wrapped her two braids around and then sort of coiled them in the back like a long bun. =) I'm not exactly sure hwo to explain that part.

But yeah,looks lil' bit complicated to me.

It also looke like a little white thin ribbon in inter twined with the braid at the top.

How many of you have seen this movie?

Did you like it?

The only down fall for me was their was a little bit of swear in it.

They ALWAYS have to RUIN movies that way.

I'll have to do a review if not alot of you have watched it.

Happy Monday to you all. :)

christmas bun tutorial and my finished sewing projects...

Okay,so I thought I'ld give you all a little Christmas bun tutorial,which by the way is perfect for curly hair. =)

I'm actually considering wearing this to a dear friends wedding on friday (I'm beyond excited about it by the way.) versus half up.....hmmm...Okay,back to my tutorial.

This hairstyle isn't exactly easy,but it isn't hard,so on the scale of 1-10 it would be 5 on level of difficulty,mainly cause I had a hard time showing through photos how to do,but anyway with no further ado,

------------------------------------------------

"The Christmas Bun"

-----------------------------------------------------------

You'll need:

5 or 6 small little claws and a few bobbing pins.

Hairspray (optional,not recommended for naturally curly or dry hair though)

step 1. Take the front section of  your hair and pin it back,and if your hair isn't naturally curly,Curl It with either a 1/2-1 inch curling iron!!!

step 2:  Take the hair on your right and left side and bring them to meet as you do a half ponytail in the back.

step 3.  take you half pony tail (you can scure it with a clear small elastic band if you like) start to twist as if you'll be twisting average bun ,but then stop and push your curls foreward.

Take 2 of your mini claws and secure you curls in the front.

note: You don't want your hair pulled straight foreward just in front of where you joined your hair together in the back at.

step 4. Take the hair in the back and middle and bring it up to where your 'half ponytail' was and repeat what you did in step 3. =)

step 5. Use a few bobbing pins to secure any loose sagging spots or stray hairs. :)

Take some hairspray for extra security. But if your hair is naturally curly is dry don't use any hairspray it will dry out you hair even more so.

step 6. Add a cute accessory if you like to spruce it up. This darling hairstyle for Christmas.

"Enjoy and have a Merry CHRISTmas."

p.s. If you like the headband above wait until Jan. when I'll be opening a website for my shop and it will be for sale. :)

-Sewing Projects-

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So this seamstres was very happy to be finally finished with this dress for it was....

uhem....quite challenging,but with some help of an expert (aka my sister) I soon had sewen the last stich.

So I went outside on a wet,slightly windy,but warm day with my finished dress and my only pair of heels dawned on to take some photos.

It has been very wet here, can you tell?! I can't wait for some bright white snow.Oh,and yes in the photo above I'm in barefeet,it was warm enough to stay in barefeet for a few photos,tomorrow its supposed to plumet back to 30...brrrr.....and more rain. :(

But its supposed to snow on Christmas eve! :)

                                               Thank you picnik for the animated snow! :)

             lol,I thought it was funny the way wind made my dress look like I was wearing a small bustle in the photo above. ;)

I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. A Big Thank you to my sister who did some changes to make if fit my body type better.

Another little sewing project that I made with the measurements that are posted @ apple.com to make my friend a ipad case. =)

It didn't turn out how I would of liked,but my dear friend loved it and that is all that really matters.

I used my parents embroidery machine to embroidery an 'M' on the flap,also for a classy look,I ruffled up some silky black fabric and sewed it on under it.

                                                 I also added a front pocket.
 My favorite part of this case,is the fun and funky fabric that is inside,its white and has neon pink and green animals that are kind of like those stiff cut out cookies....lol,I'm not painting a good image am  I?!
 But I didn't take a photo of the inside before I gave it to her as a Christmas gift. :( so sorry about that,but I had some leftover that I'll have to take a photo of for you all cause it really is cute and fun!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                         Have a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

I hope you all remember the real reason for this joyous season. 

"Jesus."

Because I love braided hairstyles.......

I love hairstyles with briads don't you? I love getting the front part of my hair pulled back too.

I usually start french braiding on one side and braid to the back of the other side and make a side ponytail. Which is really cute by the way.

But heres another fab. hairstyle tutorial,by the same girl I posted a video tutorial by last time.

                                                            .........Enjoy..........














                                                    This hairstyle,I SO have to figure out.

                                                                 It's sooooooooo cute.
                                                                             Right?

S&S hairstyles

My sister and I recently watched Sense & Sensibility,besides "Emma" this is one of my favorite Jane Austen movies. I loved Marianne's hair in this 2008 version and what the hairstylists did with it,so I thought I would do a post on the hairstyles from this movie,mainly Marianne though.

If I did this that headband would keep falling off my head.

This was Mariannes everyday hairstyle,a simple bun,but her very curly hair makes it unique.

I'm going to a tea party/bridal shower and your supposed to dress in your tea party dress(I can't wait),so I decided to go in my regency dress and wear this hairstyle,I even have a matching headband.

I wish I had little hair to pull out in the front like that.

I noticed they pulled a section in the front to the side instead of straight back for this hairstyles.

What can you say about her hair,ummmm....'weird'.....

 I did not like the Dashwoods, brother's wifes hair.

It looks like they pulled the front back into a small bun and added a headband.

Wish I had a better veiw.

*sighs* I can't wait until my hair is this length.

This looks like the same hairstyle as the one above and the very first photo of this post,(except the other one is a zoom in.)

This is from a different version from the photos above,but I like Elinors hair in this photo.

They didn't have really any photos of her hair from the ball,but I did find this one.

I totally loved this Marianne from the 2008 version versus Kate Winslet-Marianne.

Which one is your favorite?

I think mine is the half bun with a headband. (first photo.)
