WEAR // oh, sweet joy! headbands

I am a little smitten with the latest addition to my wardrobe. Anne stopped by this morning and gifted me a few goodies from the oh, sweet joy! shop. I couldn't make if out to the Firefly event in Boulder to see Kim's handmade goods last week, so I was really excited that Anne thought to bring me back a few things. One of them just so happened to be this really sweet headband with a bold poppy print on it. Kind of a perfect fit for me, no? Today I had the day off from work, and completely to myself, as Matt drove out to Kansas yesterday to see the grandparents, so my day was a roll out of bed, launder my clothes, watch Hart of Dixie, and go on a run type of a day. Meaning, zero plans for makeup or a thought out outfit. But thanks to Anne, and oh, sweet joy! the people of King Soopers and the greater Arvada area saw me a little more put together than planned with this really cute headband. (She also got me a wire wrap which I cannot wait to style and wear to work next week!)

Lovely Locks | Nape of Neck Braid & Side Bun

Though I tend to walk out my door each morning, with my hair still slightly damp from my shower, or pulled back in a simple bun or ponytail, lately I've been stepping it up. I've actually been trying different ways to twist, pin, and braid these locks of mine. Fancy that! The heat, and my active schedule, have made wearing my hair down an uphill battle (namely sweaty and tousled have been my nemesis), and I've been trying mermaid braids, inside out braids, and other looks that I really love instead. After posting my weekend do on Instagram this weekend, the nape of neck braid and side bun, so many of you asked that I give a tutorial! I usually leave the hair tutorials to my friend Natalie and other beauty blogs, but you insisted. So, just for you, I stepped out of the box and got myself on film braiding away. Enjoy!



What is your favorite summer style that keeps hair up and out of the way?
