I dey try, oh! (yarn braids attempt) *thumbs up*

I am SO over weaves (until further notice)!! They're hot, they're itchy and when the wind blows, you have to hold your fringe down like you just captured a fugitive. Nat cool! I put mine in last week and by the next day I was already fed up. So on Sunday I took it out and I decided to attempt braiding my whole head by myself for the first time and a few days ago I saw this tutorial on how to do yarn braids. So, I thought, why not give it a try? It looks awesome!

So I did.
And I am loving the result :)

 
They're a little thin because I was rushing (exam time) and I need to fix my ends but  I love 'em!

Peace, brethren!

"Golden" by Kate G on LOOKBOOK.nu

"Golden" by Kate G on LOOKBOOK.nu: "i wore this on valentines day! It was neither valentines-y nor dinner appropriate (possibly) but I certainly felt very shiny"

Now I'm not sure about the dress on its own, don't get me wrong, I love the vintage detail and gold against the black and I think it's beautiful, but I fear the skirt combined with the waist-coat effect may be a tad too much, no? Which is why I absolutely love the fact that she paired her outfit with a black trench coat, which I think makes the outfit more exciting because it leaves a mere suggestion of something beautiful underneath, which is all you need, really.
