ALL ABOUT BEAUTY: Buns ‘N Bows

All About Beauty

Ah, it’s that time of year once again. The leaves are falling, the temperature is dropping and…midterms are arising. Fashionistas know to never sacrifice style for anything — and I find that dressing up and being put together inspires me in my many productive hours spent in the library. But balancing highlighters, ballpoint pens and a strong cup of coffee doesn’t leave me enough hands to fix my bothersome flyaways and itchy bangs.

The solution? As today’s Fashionista demonstrates, the simple answer is: buns, buns, buns. Sock buns, ballerina buns, messy buns—a new fun bun for each day of studying. If your bangs and uneven layers are bothersome, spritz your fingertips with a light hold hairspray, press hair back and secure it with a bobby pin. No hiding from all that work; keep your hair out of your face and your eyes focused.

Today’s Fashionista took her fun bun one incredibly adorable step further by adding a bow clip. Bows are so utterly feminine and pretty, which complements the elegance of buns impeccably. Bows, especially ones from American Apparel, are politely and ladylike-ily domineering campus this fall semester. They are often seen on a half-up, half-down hairstyle, which never fails, but this Fashionista put a personal spin on the classy look. For an ultra feminine tone, try bows in an off-white lace. For an edgier look, try one in a shiny metallic. And lastly, in the spirit of all that is American politics, show your pride by clipping in an American flag bow—and God bless femininity.
