Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful week with family and friends.
A bit of bad news...my laptop, which I had all of my blog pictures and articles saved on, crashed! So please be patient with me while I get some things put together.
In the meantime, you have to love this picture of a winter bride.

Ceremonious Coifs from BHLDN
BHLDN is a bridal boutique that is an offshoot of one of my favorite stores, Anthropologie. It's a really fun shop, with lots of vintage, eclectic products for brides.
Recently the folks at BHLDN had their favorite stylist, Moiz Alladina, create 10 different vintage inspired looks, from Boho Chic to Grace Kelly. These are a few of my favorites!
Here's a link to all the styles. If there's one that strikes your fancy, basic instructions are provided for each look on the BHLDN website.
Busy weekend upon us!

"These ladies are fantastic!!!! I booked them long before I could do a trial because I had heard such good things and I am SO GLAD I DID!!!! My hair trial looked really good and then on the wedding day it looked even better!!!! They did exactly what I wanted! All of my bridesmaids looked amazing too! They all requested different styles and Jessica and Rebecca executed them flawlessly!!! I can't thank them enough!!!! Definitely use them!!"

"Rebecca and Jessica are amazing hair stylists. They did 8 heads for me and I was amazed with how great everyone looked. Our hair not only looked incredible, but it lasted all night long. Even on the kids. They are both so talented and work very fast. They were so patient and nice and worked so hard to make sure all 8 of us were done on time for pictures. Thank you ladies!"

"The sisters did an incredible job on our hair - everything I was hoping for. My daughter's hair looked amazing and we received a ton of compliments on it. She wouldn't let me brush it out for 2 days because she loved the curl so much. I highly recommend Hairstyles to Remember for your special day!"

Margaret Hale's Everyday Hair
Well, life happened and I had to pretty much abandon this project for much longer than I wanted to! Forget excuses, there's too many to list! I'm happy to say that I'm back with a tutorial for Margaret Hale's everyday hairstyle!
Alright, most of Margaret's hairstyles are fundamentally the same - big bush of a bun in back, center part, twisted sides. sometimes she puts a decorative comb on top of the bun, but generally it's pretty uniform.
And here's my version…
First off, I'm going to part my hair - Margaret has a middle part that goes back halfway to her crown. For now, pin the front hair sections out of the way.
Once the front is all pinned up, part the back hair into three sections. This can be done roughly, what we're going for is two narrower side sections for braids, and a thicker middle section for the base of the bun. NOTE: I initially tried curling the front hair slightly differently, hence the pinned up curls in some of the pictures - don't be thrown off! :)
Put the middle section up out of the way and braid the two side sections.
Brush the middle back section smoothly, and secure with a ponytail holder. Curl the center back ponytail, roll the curls back up as you go, and pin them in a bun shape.
First, take a small section near the front and curl under to get that bang curl.
Curl the rest of the side-front sections upward to get that twisted look. Roll back up and pin in place as you go.
Next take one of the braids and wrap it around the the bun, going under with the first one and over with the second. Pin on top - it should only take 1-2 pins, and tuck the ends under. Curl any whispies, and spray all over with hairspray
You're done!! Let me know how this tutorial works for you!
