If you haven’t heard by now that braids are really hot this spring/summer you may just be living under a rock. No matter where you turn, or what magazine you flip through, countless styles of braids are being sported by celebrities, models, fashionistas and hipsters alike.

Some are of the opinion that braids should be reserved for school girls and milkmaids only – they have no place in a mature, stylish woman’s life. I whole heartedly disagree. Sure, if overdone, braids can look childish or like you should be off yodeling in the alps, but if done right, they can add that playful yet sophisticated touch to a summery ‘do!

“This is a must-do trend for simple, summer styling,” says Associate Stylist Sandra. “And the messier the better… There is no wrong way to braid!”

Here are some of my favourite braids that you can try this summer, be it an updo for a special occasion or just a day in the sun. I think any doubters will be silenced.

Top Ten Style Tips

Top ten style tips

1.everyone can be stylish.you don't have to be  outgoing,rich, or beautiful.style is not about bold statements and expensive fashions;it's about being creative and knowing what goes well together and what looks good on you.

2.make an effort.think about what you like and the look you want to achieve.

3.don't scrimp on the things you love to wear.if you wear jeans all the time,or love great looking shoes,buy what really suits you and you'll never regret it.
Save money on the less important things.

4.experiment.
Go to different shops and try on clothes you don't normally wear.if you're not sure they look good on you,take a friend for a second opinion.

5.accessorize.a bag,hat or a necklace can add a dash of style to the dullest outfits.even a hair clip can brighten your look.

6.don't wear anything that isn't comfortable.if you don't feel good,you don't look good.

7.never wear clothes that are too small for you.they don't make you look slimmer-just the opposite!

8.make the most of what you've got.if you're short on cash and bored with your clothes,take time to make up new outfits.pull two random items out of your closet and put them on.you might come up with a grea new look-and you'll have fun doing it!

9.customise.think creatively about how you can jazz up your clothes to make them uniquely you.dyes,patches,buttons, and bows can be a cheap way to super- styledom.

10.pick a role model or a style icon-a celeb,a singer,even a big sister!
Notice what they wear-what style of jeans,what kind of accessories-then re-create the look to suit you.

Hope you like them and use them ^_^

Hairstyles this summer

This is the perfect sea inspired style to wear at the beach and is easy enough for you to do it yourself. For a messier look, leave your natural texture or apply some mousse and gel to give it some texture then separate the hair using just your fingers. For a smoother braid, make sure hair is brushed out and keep it smooth as you are braiding.  Note: If keeping it smooth, it is best to use dirty hair for better hold.  Here is a short video that shows you step by step how to create this look.
