Beauty and BRAIDS

According to Seventeen's Poll, it is the Best Trend of 2011!!

BRAIDS!

There are different variation of braids some of them are as easy as hell and some of them are really complicated!

1. Fishtail braids - According to wikipedia: "A fishtail braid resembles a French braid in its smoothly woven appearance, but divides the hair into only two sections instead of three. This style was called the "Grecian braid" in the 19th century."

It's really pretty simple.:) I tried it.:)

2. French Braids - Starts from the crown of the head

3. Basic English Braids - simplest and most common braid



I love Blake Lively! Any hairstyle would look good on her! She loves braids, it looks good on the runway with her fabulous gown, she wears it with a casual dress and even in Gossip Girl.

The Blazer Buzz

The Upper East Side "IT" girl and the whole cast of GOSSIP GIRL is back!

I spotted a look of SERENA in the 2nd Episode of Season 5: Beauty and The Feast
3rd Episode of Season 5: Jewel of Denial

I've been wanting to have this kind of blazer for a long time now!

Especially when you're in the office and the aircondition is freaking cold! And if you are out, you can opt to fold and sling it in your bag!

So I found two shops that have the most TO-DIE-FOR blazers! www.romwe.com and Forever 21.
