holiday hair

a quick bobby pin to the side is chic and great if you have a slight wave to your hair

braids are perfect for an everyday look. this fishtail is a surprisingly easy one to try out

a fishtail to the back...perfect

this boho look will be great with a flowy dress while visiting museums

i despise those throw on the top of your head messy buns. these are way more flattering

chic messy pony

a high pony is great with shades and a slouchy top

i am leaving for italy in two weeks! 

and i am not bringing any hair tools on my trip ie: no straightener, curling iron or blow dryer for the fear that they will blow up (due to voltage converting issues).

so i have been dreaming up some effortlessly beautiful hair do's that i can try over there.

things to consider:

1. i have super long hair so leave in conditioner or moroccan oil is a must

2. even if i want a "messy look" i don't want to look messy
