last week, joanna posted about a flickr group called braid wednesday, and i thought it would be fun to share here, too. my aunt, a ballet-dancer-turned-dance-studio-owner with the most perfect posture ever, used to french braid my hair all the time when i was little--i remember sitting on my grandparents' porch in the summer watching the adults sip iced tea while my aunt wove sections of my hair into a plait. there's something so sweet and feminine about braids, i think, and lately i've been contemplating braiding a section of hair at the front of my head and pinning it back, a la lauren conrad, who is one of my fashion favorites--i love her classic, feminine style.
what do you think? do you love braids as much as i do? isn't the flickr group quirky and fun?
lauren conrad is a guilty pleasure of a fashion icon to me as well, but i tried her braid and it looked so... sub-par... on me. hmm.
ReplyDeleteWow, the second one is so beautiful. My hair's never been long enough for a good braid, but I've always loved them. Your story of your grandmother and your braids is adorable. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteduh, I just reread... your AUNT, of course!
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to french braid my hair all he time...and I hated it! I wish I had enough hair to do it now though.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely style - i wish more people did their hair like this!!

I'm a fan of the braid as a headband...perfect for keeping your hair out of your face on hot summer days! Fantastic blog by the way!
