Use large hot rollers to roll all of your hair
Spray your hair with hair spray while the rollers are still in your hair
Once the rollers have cooled, take them out leaving the curls in tact as much as possible
Flip your head over, brush your hair, and spray with hairspray
Flip your head back over and VOILA!?
Well maybe your hair is perfect at this point... but my hair is naturally curly so the front pieces around my face still usually need to be touched up.
Use a large curling iron and curl pieces away from your face to smooth any frizziness
Brush those pieces just a little to maintain the loose, natural look
Then, more hair spray!
Here is the beautiful blonde that flaunted the look on the cover of W Magazine.
Flip all of your hair to one side to get a totally different look than the traditional off center part shown in the first two shots. I think it portrays more romance and is an easy transition to night by simply changing your part.
Let me know what you think about this style and how your look turns out. Also, we would love to see pictures of your "Farrah" hair {email them to leveesandlace@gmail.com}.
Enjoy!

Stitch FIX
After signing up, you are asked complete a detailed style profile that includes obvious measures such as height, weight, and clothes sizes, but also items to help the stylist pick the correct clothes for you... such as how you prefer your clothes to fit and how you would describe your personal style {bohemian chic, classic, glamorous, romantic, casual chic, edgy, preppy}. THEN, it goes on to show you a number of "groupings" of clothes and you are able to reveal if you...Love it!, Like Most, Like Some, Don't like much at all. The amount of information that you provide goes on {and on}, and I particularly liked that I was able to share a Pinterest board with them so they could understand my style even more!!
Although, I thought all of the style profile questions were great, I still wondered, What if I don't like any of the items they send? How much money will I lose? and...What price range clothes are they shopping for?
Well, to me, this is the part that convinced me to go through with it...It only costs $20/month. Then, if you buy something, that $20 goes toward the cost of the item!! So, all you are really committed to is buying one item {or losing the $20 styling fee}. Also, you are able to fill in your preferred price ranges when submitting your style profile.
It took about 2 weeks for membership to be accepted {there is a wait list},and I received my first box on March 17th!!
The packages is super cute, and it is so exciting to find out what was picked just for you! {No two fixes are alike}
The first thing I saw was Lace! and orange {which I happen to really like for spring-however, I already bought a few orange spring items}
I looked through the clothes that night, but was not able to try them on until later....There are five items in every fix. Mine included: Two blouses, a pair of jeans, a dress, and a necklace. Here are the jeans and the blouse I decided not to keep....
I loved the jeans, however, they did not fit. I expected this since I usually have a very hard time finding jeans that I like. I decided not to keep the blouse, just because I was underwhelmed and cost $78.
They also add tags that describe the piece and give you a couple of ideas about how it can be worn. I think this is a really nice touch!
There was a really pretty orange/pink dress.....
I probably would have kept this item if I did not already have a dress in a similar color. It was comfortable and very reasonably priced {I think it was $58}
After all of the fun, I decided to only keep one item: Chevron lace back shirt. At first I did not think I liked this very much, but then I realized it is a very easy shirt to wear. Sometimes, I get caught up in buying the cutest clothes I can find and never have just an easy, comfortable shirt to throw on with jeans.
Another great touch, is that they included a white undershirt with this one {which I happened to need anyway!}
The last step is to go online, and let Stitch Fix know which item(s) you are going to keep...details are outlined very clearly on a label in the box you receive...
When you log on, you are able to leave them notes about each items and tell them why you are or are not keeping the item.
The rest of the pieces are then shipped back the next day in the USPS mail bag with prepaid shipping label {all shipping is free}. This makes it super easy to just drop off the package at the post office.
This is a super fun and easy thing to do!! and...Who doesn't enjoy trying on clothes at home rather than in a dressing room at a store!

Let me know what you think
Enjoy!!

The black is lovely, but I got the neutral "sand". The heel height is perfect, and they have comfortable and easy to walk in rubber treads. I hope that I can wear them all spring and summer!
Check out this amazing designer {based out of Tribeca} at Arco Avenue!! {The Township // 1107 Highland Colony Parkway, Suite 107, Ridgeland, MS 39157} or online at mattbernson.com
You won't be disappointed....Enjoy!

Bring on the Wellies!
I love that these Hunter boots that have less of the "rain boot" look, which would be great if you end up needing to wear them all day long.
Henri Bendel always has a fantastic offering of wellies that range from fun prints to their classic stripe and are a good mid range price point.
I hesitate to spend much on rain boots since I typically end up not actually wearing them {I am going to try to change this habit}. Since I know my history though, I researched a third option that surprised me by all of the styles--Target!
Sometimes you just need some fun colors for that dreary rain. Both of these boots come in great colors to help brighten your day!
Hopefully these amazing wellie options will make splashing through the water puddles a fun activity this spring!
Enjoy~

And, since most of us are not daring enough for all over white lace....mixing white with pastels is a little bit more practical.
Temperly London
Or, try black lace over white {black and white is a big trend for spring as well}....
Lela Rose
And, last but not least, if bold colors are your thing....
J. Mendel
As you can see, no matter your style or comfort level, lace is a definite must try for spring. Opt for small accents or one key piece before venturing into a head to toe look. When mixing different types of patterns, stick with one color to harmonize the look. And, have FUN with this girly, bold fabric choice.
Stay tuned for shopping options....
Enjoy!
