OOTD: Studs and Bows

I am so in love with my new studded combat boots which can be worn folded up or down. I decided to go black and grey with this outfit because I wanted my smile to bring in all the personality and color. As you can see I wore a pair of super skinny grey leggings and a flowy bow shirt. The top is actually out of the little girls section, but we can keep that between me, you, and the blog. Since I can't show any of my midriff at school, I put a very dark black camisole underneath. I didn't wear any make-up, but I did jazz up my hair by adding a big braid across the front, sparkly studded earrings, and my signature Betsey Johnson watch. This is a great outfit choice for my slow transition into fall.

Hair 101: Rihanna Rapunzel

Rihanna's rapunzel like braid is so majestic and gorgeous, you could even mistake it for a mermaid braid! This braid works for medium to long hair and is great for when you want to jazz up your look. It is also perfect for summer since it will help pull your hair out of your face. All you need is to know how braid and french braid, a comb and brush, a ponytail holder, and bobby pins.

1. Begin by detangling and brushing your hair. It's better if you use a side part, but a middle part will work too.
2. Take one side and begin french braiding to the edges of your hair until you reach the nape of your neck, some hair may not be braided. Secure the braid with a bobby pin.
3. Take the remaining hair and french braid to the edge of your hair until you reach a little past your ear meeting the other braid. Secure with bobby pins.
4. Bring both braids together and mix the loose hair together creating a side braid. Secure the braid with a ponytail holder.
5. Brush the hair down to make it smooth and put on a cute pair of earrings to make the look pop!

The bun hairstyle is so popular now, but there is a time when it needs a little spin! The french braid up to a bun is so beautiful and can actually begin from the side, front, or wherever your heart desires. This hairstyle may look better if you have someone else french braid the hair and if you use the "sock bun" method for the bun.

1. Begin with your hair detangled and a part seperating 1/4 of the back of your hair from the front.
2. Tie the front of your hair away and begin french braiding the back. Secure the braid with 2-3 bobby pins.
3. Bring back the front of your hair as well as the back and pull it into a ponytail.
4. Create the bun by wrapping your hair in a circle or use the "sock bun" method.

• If you don't know how to french braid or just don't have the time instead of french braiding, just braid a big sectionn of hair and clip it into the bun.

Wear this look to give a new element to your a bun. A lovely pair of studs or even big, dangly earrings go perfectly with this hairstyle. You can even go more dramatic with your make-up and add special clips in your hair.
