Buns...not just for Ballerinas

Three fantastic fall looks for pumpkin and apple picking season are buns, collared necklaces and printed pants. These may seem like pretty daring styles to pull off, but paired with the right pieces I think these can be turned into chic elegant looks for the fall.

This fall's hair trend proves that buns are not just for ballerinas- they are for all lovely locks! Whether you have short, long, thick or thin hair, this clean chic/clean look can be easily achieved. All you need is a couple of elastics,  hairspray and bobby pins. It's that simple. Put your hair in a high pony (my old trick is laying upside down on my bed and brushing your hair into a sleek pony- no bumps!) or a low ponytail (whichever you prefer), tighten with an elastic, twist your ponytail tightly, wrap your hair around the ponytail base, tuck the ends of the hair into the ponytail base, secure with another elastic, hairspray/ bobby pin wispy's and voila, a bun is born! 

If you want a PERFECT looking bun, I prefer the sock bun. If you need a little help, and want your bun to be thick and full, try clipping in a ponytail hair extension, or regular extensions (what I do).  Here are three types of buns that I love...click on the link below the pics for tutorials.

THE MESSY BUN

It's messy, but still looks chic, elegant, and  put together when paired with sharp shades and bold lips !  Just  "almost" make a  ponytail but the third loop around don't pull the hair all the way through, tug and tighten the bun for a "didn't even try/messy" look and DONE. No spray needed!

Collared necklaces and printed pants coming soon!! :)
