Hair Tutorial: The Twisty Updo

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! 

It's sooooo much fun to buy such unique things online. I'm officially obsessed and addicted ;)

Here are some of the many ways in which I've worn this mustard cardigan:

Butterfly Nails

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.

  

Here are all the ways in which I've worn these floral wedges:

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 ;)
