For my birthday this year (June..over due post!), my sister Caitlin was here
she created a make up look for me that was beyond beautiful!
She then suggested we take some pictures with Clementine on the canal near my house.
Little did I know, while we were out,
Kayvan and Cailin's boyfriend Cyrous
were working on a surprise birthday party for me.
They actually caught my surprised face!!
The theme was old people, and I wasnt dressed the part!

Blouse: early 1950s sheer Nylon blouse in blush pink
Skirt: American Apparel
Headpiece: Made by me
Bracelet: made by me with clear angel fish beads
Shoes: 1950s hush puppies

No Heat Beach Waves

There are loads of diferent types of these no heat tutorials for this beachy hair look, and the reason to that is that most people (including me) just love that messy hair. And if you don't, just remember - embrace it! It's an all time (or maybe I should've said immortal) hairstyle that goes with everything! It's playful and can give that 'wow' effect on your whole look. So, I had to do some serious searching to find the perfect tutorial that can do the trick - and i found it! It's an easy breezy tutorial posted by the amazing Aimee Song from Song of Style. All the redit goes to her and her amazing trick! 

1. Part your slightly damp hair into two sections (right and left) and start twisting from the root to all the way to the end of your hair. Make sure you twist well!

2. Using a bobby pin, pin the end of your twisted hair to the crown of your head.

3. Twist the other side of your hair in the same direction (I normally twist outwards) and pin to the crown of your head like the first side.

4. Let your hair dry naturally overnight and in the morning, unpin the ends. Shake your head and pretend your in a shampoo commercial, and voila! You got waves! If you'd like to hold the waves, top off the look with a lightweight hairspray such as the Vida Sassoon Pro Series Flexible Hold Hairspray.
