{How To} Braid Bun

One of our fun and fabulous Creative Strategists - Jess - who represents the Philly region had the best no fuss hairstyle last week.  She said it was so easy she even shared a tutorial for all of us!!!  Love her!

The Braid Bun, once perfected, can be done in under 1 minute!  It's easy, chic and perfect for keeping the hair off your neck in the Summer heat! Enjoy!!

What you'll need: A hair tie.  That's it!

Step 1: Braid your hair to the very ends.  Pinch the end of your braid to avoid any loosening.

Step 2: Keep the braid pinched and begin wrapping it counter-clockwise (right-handed) or clockwise (left-handed) as you would a traditional bun.

Step 3: Once it feels secure and the braid is wrapped into a bun, tuck the pinched pieces of hair into the bun, hold the bun in place and use a hair tie to secure it.  Make sure the hair tie holds down the ends of your hair or the braid bun will fall out.

 

Step 4: Enjoy the compliments on your adorable new 'do!

{Spring Trend} Kimono jackets

With Spring in the air, we're cleaning out our closets and adding a few "of the moment" trends.  The one we're loving most are kimono jackets.  They're just so laid back, colorful, and perfect for any occasion.
The volume of these jackets pair perfectly with any of our statement pieces which is great for us as we're always on the go to meetings and events.

Here are some great ideas on how to incorporate the kimono jacket into your wardrobe.

Kimono Love by cayetanolegacycollection featuring a pink jacket

Kimono's are great because they work with any body size and shape.  You can find this silhouette in a number of ways such as dresses, cardigans, blouses, lightweight jackets.  Here are some ways on how to wear a lightweight kimono jacket.

1) For a casual day look, pair with jean shorts and a tank top - kimono's are naturally dressy with their eye catching sleeves and prints that it would compliment the laid back style of shorts and a tank top.

2) Cropped kimono's would look great with dark blue skinny jeans and nude pumps

3) Longer length kimono's would look great paired with black leggings or black tights

4) For a dressier look, you can pair a little black dress (LBD) and jazz it up with a kimono cover up

5) For resort wear, you can use a sheer kimono jacket as a chic cover-up as you grab your cocktails by the water.

Statement Streetwear

Love all these looks on the street.  Love how they each incorporated a statement necklace into their look.  Its amazing how innate one's fashion sense is.
