Hair Tutorial: The Twisty Updo

Twisty Updo - Part 1Twisty Updo - Part 2Twisty Updo - Part 3Twisty Updo - Part 4

Hi guys!! Here you have my very first Hair Tutorial!! YIPPIE! I've been wanting to post tutorials and DIY's on my blog for sooooooo long. I'm overjoyed that I'm finally getting started.

For my first tutorial, I chose the carefree updo I wore to a wedding a couple of weeks ago. So many of you requested a tutorial, that I decided to give it a try! You can also try this hairdo as a half-do instead (I wear it like this all the time!). I hope you all like this tutorial and find it useful ;)

PS: Here's the tutorial all in one file in case you want to save it on your computer:

Ok, I have a confession to make... I'm currently having a crazy online shopping frenzy where I want to buy absolutely EVERYTHING. I don't know what it is, but I'm just addicted to making purchases online right now.

In the past week, I've ordered a vast amount of things, including this adorable hedgehog clutch (Yes, you read right, a hedgehog clutch. I literally squealed when I saw it), this charming dusty pink hat, this fierce studded clutch, and this quirky book clutch!

I felt so fresh and bright in today's outfit. The colors are just so much fun! I was saving these Sally Hansen butterfly nail strips (Find them here!) for a special occasion, but then I reminded myself that everyday is a special day. Things that get saved for a "special occasion" simply never get used. So, here I am sporting my butterfly nails, and I just loooooove them.

Panama Canal Expansion

Panama Canal Expansion (1)

This past Sunday I had the wonderful opportunity of gathering with the Panama Porsche club to see the Progress of the Panama Canal Expansion! As I've mentioned before on my blog, my boyfriend is a huge Porsche fan; so we go to Porsche events quite regularly.

It is always fun to get together with nice people and see how passionate they are about Porsches. There were a whole lot of Porsches this time around. We were about 30 Porsches driving all together on a beautiful sunny day.

For those of you who don't know, the Panama Canal is ongoing an expansion right now to add a third set of locks. This will double the capacity of the Panama Canal by allowing larger ships to go through. Its estimated to be ready by 2014.

Although the new set of locks for the Panama Canal are not finished yet, we were lucky enough to be granted a sneak peek of their progress!

Its pretty cool to see history in the making. This is such a big step for Panama and I'm just so proud of all the good work we are accomplishing.

Ok, lots of things going on in today's outfit right?! First of all, I want to thank Sugarlips for sending me this gorgeous black dress (Find it Here!). What drew me to this dress was its sexy and unexpected lacy back; but I also really like the other lace details in the front. I can see myself wearing this dress in several different ways, I really like it ;)

Second of all, can we talk about these scallop tights?! I actually purchased them a couple of months ago and haven't worn them until now (the story of my life. This always happens.). I've seen many bloggers wearing scalloped tights, so I decided to give it a try. I couldn't decide if these tights are cute or sexy? Or both?! Either way, I love them ;)
