I saw girls with side braids all over the place from pictures of New York Fashion week (Alexander Wang, especially!), and bloggers like Song of Styles and Late Afternoon. I think side braids is a chic as well as practical way to put your hair together. I really want to do it myself too, but I personally think side braids look better on blond or any kind of dyed hair, than plain black like mine… Any advise on how to put the braids together nicely even with a jet black hair, or should I just dye my hair??

I’m spending more and more time inside, sipping coffee and eating excessive amount of banana bread my mom baked…I just can’t wait to warm up!

Right now, I’m really into watercolor paint-ish floral fabrics, like the one above. I found this great maxi dress from Zara, in really nice mixture of purple and blue, like a water color paint. I could not decide on it since it was like $70, and when I decided to buy it, it was gone! This kind of things happen to me all the time.
