Hair Days

Good hairs days, bad hair days...we all have them.  Me, I'm on a messy hair kick lately and this is my new Favorite doo!  A slight modification to the bun.  Basically, I just tie my hair in a couple of knots - YES knots! - and then hold it place with chop sticks.



















Here goes - grab two pig tails if you will, and tie them end over end into a knot up high on the back of your head.  Repeat step 1.  Hold it with one hand while pinning with the first chopstick...then add the second.  Is it a little loose?  Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it.


As long as I can remember, I've had really, really, really long hair.  Except for the few years I was with EMANUEL/Emanuel Ungaro and Liz Claiborne -- I was going through a bob phase then.  Did I mention I was blond too... (can you imagine me as a blond?)  Anyway, I digress...  My point being that with long hair I've always been pretty creative with my hair styles &  love putting it up or tying it back.  

I happen to love the way this style looks?  You?


























We happen to LOVE asterisk & ampersand - a steampunk inspired hair stick Goddess.  Now I've browsed the web end-over-end and have never seen anything as stunning, creative or natural as asterisk & ampersands work.  While I'm sure a lot was put into the pieces, the end result conveys effortless style & simple elegance - which is why I love it so.  I'll be getting my order in shortly as it's time I retire those Hello Kitty chop sticks for a piece more my style!


What's your current favorite hair style? Do you have a "can't live without" hair accessory?  Feel free to share your favorites here -- links are welcome!
