Inspiration: Three Twisted Buns

Today we are inspired by this post we saw on one of our favorite blogs, A Cup of Jo.  

It is a beautiful, simple and fun way to wear your hair this Spring. What is your go-to fast easy updo?



1. This style is so easy, it's laughable. Day-old hair is best (which is true for most hairstyles, since it's easier to work with hair that has a little dirt in it).
2. Divide your hair into three equal parts and quickly spray each section with a little hairspray to help give it hold. Let the hairspray set for a couple seconds, and then lightly comb it out.
3. Take the section on your right side, and twist your hair all the way down to the end. You want to twist counter-clockwise, toward your face. Wrap the right section in on itself, just like you're making a little bun. Let some of the hair stick out, it's ok (you don't want them to look like Princess Leia buns).
4. Pin the right bun in place. I like to use these mini bobby pins, since they're easier to hide and they're coated in rubber so they hold your hair better.
5. Next, twist the middle section clockwise and pin. Then twist the left section clockwise and pin.
6. Spray the three buns with a little more hairspray, and you're done!

Inspired by...BOTANICALS

A new season is upon us, wardrobe changes are about to happen and we couldn't be happier! Yes, yes, we all adore the holidays and everything that comes with it, but there is something so exciting once we begin a new year. Perhaps it's an excuse to brush off all the old and start anew and who doesn't need that every once in a while, right? That said, we are going to start incorporating new elements to our blog, it's a work in progress, so please feel free to let us know what you think, give suggestions...or gold stars...whatever it is we want to hear from you! You inspire us! 
This week we wanted to start off with a little bit of inspiration for Spring. We have had some unseasonably cold cold weather here in Austin, TX, only to be blessed with some absolutely gorgeous sunny days this past week. This time of year is always so fun around here, more so, because South By Southwest aka SXSW or South By (as we all call it) is less than a month away. It definitely brings in the crazy, but the vibe is infectious and if you want to know the truth, the fest really seems to challenge everyone step up their game when it comes to being stylish ;). 
Reading yesterday's post on WhoWhatWear Daily cemented that Spring is almost here. 


Which leads to our prediction - lots of flowery beauties rockin their cowboy boots this season.
What are you most excited to wear once it warms up?
We would love to hear!
