With Braids In Her Hair

Details: Dress/Modcloth , Earrings/UO, Shoes/Jeffrey Campbell Litas, Bracelet/Consignment

My Aunt does an awesome french braid doesn't she? What you can't see is that the braid looped all the way around almost like a crown, it was probably the best thing that has ever happened to my hair. I wish I could do it on myself, but I am definitely not that talented when it comes to the braiding department. This is what I wore out our last night in Minnesota when we went to downtown Minneapolis. I wore this dress to Austin txsc and never since that day, but it's such a cool color & pattern that I had to bring it out again. I am also in love with new longer earrings that are in style now, I love anything that can drape down to my neck, I just think it definitely elongates that area (especially if you're tiny and need all the help you can get!).

This is probably going to be one of the last full posts from MN, although I do have some other snaps I want to add, some randoms & pictures from valley fair. I am definitely still trying to get back into the swing of being home, and not being on vacation but my body still feels like it's in vacation mode. I went out last night and almost forgot that I had work. Funny what a few days off will to do a person, right? Yesterday was spent not doing much at all, a lot of pampering but mostly nothing. Toes, nails, hair and relaxing with my family is a day well spent in my book. I hope you guys are having a good week, it's already Thursday, I'm sure you all are ready for the weekend just like I am!

  2. Are those the black distressed leather litas? I just ordered a pair for myself! I'm pretty pumped to be 6' tall in them :D.
    that hairstyle is totally envy worthy. It sucks that so many of the nice hairstyles are so impossible to pull of without someone doing the work, though! Stupid eyes, in the front of our heads. No good for making a pretty 'do!
