I've decided I will let the picture do most of the talking on this post, 
I will however note that I realize necklace is spelled wrong. 

Not changing it now. 
Too lazy. 
Its Saturday. 
My mind doesn't work on Saturdays...

I got my faux leather leggings on Amazon for $14
I love the edgy zipper on the side and they go with basically everything.
 
As promised, my "curling with your straightener" tutorial...
1. You'll want to use relatively small pieces of hair to allow the heat of the straightener work its way through. 
Also if you feeling overwhelmed with hair everywhere, tie up the sections of your hair you are not currently working with. Much better, no?


2. Get your straightener on that baby, start as close to your scalp as your comfortable with. Don't burn yourself! 
Again, little pieces at a time.

3. Turn your straightener to a bend & slowly pull away from your scalp to your tips.

4. Continue until you've got a luscious head of curls to your liking.

Notes: Depending on the angle you hold the straighter will depend on how loose/tight curls you have. 
The angle I chose here gave me pretty loose curls [figure 4]

If you want really tight curls you will want you straightener to be parallel with the floor. 
In the same respect if you want really loose beachy waves you will almost want your straightener vertical.

You can also choose to bend your straightener towards your mirror or away; This will determine the way your curl goes.
 
Its Friday!

I wasn't sure if I was gonna make it this week.
But all is well and I'm in jeans! Whew!


Alright when I have a day off its usually a "errand day" or a cleaning day. Today needed to be both.

Naturally I wanted to look cute but be comfy. 
(long week of business professional slacks!)

I chose jean shorts, black sandals ($5, thank you very much!), my white v-neck and a blue plaid button down.

I also did a super simple updo with a cute greenish yellow silk scarf.

I had some fun with my eye make-up though!
*I'll post a tutorial on that soon.

Happy Friday folks!


 
If you want a easy updo use a silk scarf! I'm in love. 

You can pretty much tie it any way you want. I found several tutorials online.

I chose to wing it!

I started by finding the middle of my scarf and laying it on the top of my head.

I then took the two ends, that were hanging down on each side of my head, and crossed them under my hair line by the nape of my neck. I went back and forth crossing at the top of my head and my neck line until I ran out of scarf.

You can see in the pictures [above] that I just tied it off on the side of my head, leaving some cute loose ends.

If you have bangs you can also tuck them in to keep them out of your face and it still looks great!
