Frenemy Advice

Frenemy Advice
Somebody asked me what advice I would give to my 18-year-old self. It is as follows: First of all, slow your load. I get that your hormones are raging at the fiery furnace of vagina hellfire terror. Cool. Well, except for that one guy. No. Seriously. That being said, I don’t want you to be so cynical. Remember being vulnerable isn’t something you only do when you are young. Fill your I-Pod up with terrible music so you can one day loudly sing that music when you are 22 and drunk on a rooftop. Stop wearing so many denim skirts they look stupid. Give your best friends more hugs. Realize that many of these friends will go away, and you will soon make new ones who ask ‘so how were you at 18?’ Go to class. Learn shit. Get a job. Do your laundry. Don’t smoke because you can. Be a kid. 18 isn’t that old. Fuck peer pressure. Have the best summer possible. Don’t buy so much gourmet coffee slushies, it’s a waste of money. Go abroad if you can afford it. Have fun sober. Have fun by yourself.

Make Your Own High Low Skirt We love the high low skirt trend. The breezy hemline makes this trend perfect for these hot summer months. You can see Elsie sporting this style here. We thought it would be fun to create our own high low skirt from an existing (thrifted) skirt; making this a project restyle. Here's what we did: 1. My skirt was knee-length to begin with, but you could also use this technique on a maxi skirt.

Maiden Braids Last month I did a makeover story with Kelsie and had many requests for a maiden braid tutorial. Yesterday she came in and we photographed these simple step by steps. Kelsie has extremely long and thick hair, but anyone with shoulder length or longer can do these braids (see my photo below for an example). Steps 1-2: Braid two strands on each side of a center part. Steps 3-5: Wrap braids around the crown of your head and pin in place with one pin each. Step 6: Arrange braids so that they cover the front of your head like a headband. Steps 7-8: Pull the rest of the hair into a ponytail and pin it into a cute messy bun. Step 9: Add final pins and spray.
