Yesterday was my cousin's big day! Kelly (the Matron of Honor) opted to go for Kristen Stewarts luscious waves. I absolutely love her choice! Rather than doing a twist on one side, we decide a braid would be more fun for her. I snapped a quick photo of her at the house and then one of her all decked out at the wedding. She's so dreamy!

The weather wasn't so fantastic, but that doesn't mean a girl still can't be fabulous! My big fur kept me cozy and my husband brought our trusty umbrella to keep us dry! 

After the ceremony, the weather dried up, and I was able to get some shots of my dress. The blossomed trees were so beautiful! I'm glad we got to hang out ;)

Gloomy Day

Today was a gloomy day. But I wasn't about to let all those clouds keep me down. In order to give my day a bit of excitement, I decided to dress with elements of flare.

Thick winged liner gave my eyes a little extra drama.

A braided top knot was fun alternative to a plain one.

**To achieve**

Place hair in high pony.

Separate your ponytail in 2 sections.

Braid each section of hair.

Wrap braids in opposite directions and secure with pins.

Your day can never be dull if you remind yourself that you're fierce!

Spring may not have been "showing", but I didn't let that stop me from flashing my bright floral print bralette! ( On clearance for $10 right now at Victoria's Secret!! )

Stay strong! Fight the gloom!

crazy/fun/hair

While I was in WA, I visited Sharon's Hair Studio in Yakima. I needed Sharon's special touch to add a little umph to my natural curls. And by umph, I mean triumph because it was becoming increasingly aware to me that managing my natural curl was causing too much headache. [ And despite Excedrin's great qualities, it wouldn't fix this. ] I am definitely pleased with the turnout and, now, actually look forward to seeing what my hair wants to do in the morning!

Of course, I had to have dré get in on the action, so she styled after the perm rods came out. [ If you're an 80s baby like me, then you probably know why I was holding my breath. ]

Soon, sleep deprivation started kicking in and the crazy started coming out. Hence the pics I snapped being goofy. The flash really lightened my hair. I've been wanting to get to a blonde, but it's a gradual process.

I really like it, though. Let me know in the comments below what hair color you'd suggest!

3 Generations Of Beautiful

This weekend I had the opportunity to style hair for an awesome wedding party! In the mix was my dear friend, her mother, and her daughter. Talk about pretty people both inside and out!

I gave each of them a completely different style that suited them perfectly! What do you think?!

XOXO Dré
