Endless DIY-Keiko Lyn
After many requests, I finally made a tutorial on how to tie a simple head scarf. It's really, really easy. I did this without looking in the mirror, so that should tell you how easy it is. Let's get started! Start with a large, square scarf. I like my vintage silk scarves because they're soft and not bulky.
Lately, it seems, we’ve been inundated with red carpet high buns— Charlize Theron loves ‘em, Rachel Bilson went high and tight recently , and SJP has sported the high bun for years. Mostly I shy away from the style because I think they look a bit too ballerina and also just too sweet on me—until now. I happened upon this high bun, above, and instantly fell in love. Maybe it’s the French feeling of the style or the casual, just-swept-up look, but how cool would it be paired with, well, anything in your closet? Adore.

I wore a more relaxed version of this hair style in an outfit post in June of 2009 but for reasons unbeknownst to me, I never did a tutorial for it. Recently though, a few of my lovely readers have asked for it ...so here it is. Enjoy * * * it would be so pretty with flowers pinned in * * * *

: Maybe the humidity is messing with our minds, or maybe we need to cut down on those midday margaritas , but we've been having a really hard time drawing our eyeliner on straight these past few days. Time for a shortcut! We thought we'd give you guys a refresher on this genius makeup cheat, just in case you're having the same makeup malfunction. This story was originally published on November 5, 2011. There's no question that mastering the art of eyeliner takes skill and dedication, but it also takes a hell of a lot of patience!
