Summertime is the perfect season to experiment with your makeup and hair routine. In these hot months, anything goes in terms of color. You can get away with bright and bold lipsticks that won’t fly in the cooler fall and winter temperatures. Summer is also a great time to try out a new hairstyle because lets face it—it can take some serious creativity to beat the heat and keep your hair looking fresh.
This Fashionista has found the perfect solution for wearing your hair down, while keeping out of your face for the ideal cute but cool balance. That solution is the half-bun. So simple, yet so brilliant! This is a trendy update to the basic half-up half-down updo that we are all used to seeing. This Fashionista also had a beautiful subtle ombré through her long locks, another chic summer trend worth trying out.
The Fashionista had a bold red-meets-coral lip on, that perfectly complimented the shades of red in her floral high-neck crop top. She paired the black-based top with a sleek black envelope skort, making for a very streamlined look. Her mini, patent leather kate spade new york cross-body bag is the exact shade of her lipstick and flowers in her top. The gold chain of the bag coordinated nicely with the gold hardware of her wrap bracelet. This Fashionista really put together a polished summer look through her attention to detail.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? The best part about this Fashionista’s updo is you likely already have everything you need to recreate this look on yourself! Simply style your hair into a normal half-up half-down ponytail secured with an elastic. Next, lightly tease the ponytail with a comb or brush so that your bun has a little bit of body and texture. Then, twist your ponytail around your finger to gather the hair together and wrap into a bun on top of your head. Lastly, secure your bun with bobby pins, and you have an easy and effortless summer look!
