BEAUTY BAR: Braided Beauty

Beautiful weather calls for sunshine, sunnies and so many Sunday drives singing along to Taylor Swift and ’90s music. It is a Fashionista/o’s dream being able to finally sport those spring and summer clothes and show a little skin. But no look would be complete without adding your own be-YOU-tiful touches. Take a look at this Fashionista for some tips.

The biggest beauty trend in this Fashionista’s look is her boxer braids. A combination of pigtails and the beloved French braid, this hairstyle is cute and slightly edgy. It is another style in the long line of braided beauty fads, and one that will take these next few seasons by storm.

With this look, boxer braids work really well to complement other details in this Fashionista’s outfit. By pulling her hair back in a chic and cool fashion, she makes room for her army jacket, choker and other accessories.

The choker is another piece with a lot of potential in the warmer weather. Already making appearances in Instagrams from festival season, it is a friendly flashback to the ’90s. I particularly love how this Fashionista chooses to layer it with a long vintage necklace that ties together her natural beauty and neutral outfit.

With a little black dress and a few touches of earth tones, this Fashionista would blend right in in a European city like Copenhagen or Florence. She looks chic and allows the army green jacket to work as a soft neutral against her bold beauty trends.

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: Boxer braids and chokers are a MUST. Upgrade your favorite French braid for the warm weather. In this case, two is always better than one!
