Trend Watch Wednesday: {Spring 'Do}


I got a recent reader email that suggested I do another post on hair trends or styles or whathaveyou. I always say, had I not gone into web marketing, I probably would've become a hairdresser. The two are so closely related, you see.

Lordy, Lordy- I love anything related to hair 'do-ing! Positively anything. Which is why I'm writing about it (hair) today. This post isn't really about how to create the styles below because I haven't a clue. I can tell you how to write Perl Script or conduct web UAT testing (yes, I'm terribly tech-nerdy....are you sure you want to read this blog?), but I can't describe the intricacies of a french braid to save my life.

This post is merely meant to inspire y'all to branch out this spring and try something new in the follicle catagory.

I adore this hippy-inspired, braid-y, half-up thing this chick has goin' on. It says "I wear this hair 'do because I don't want to look like I try too hard, but deep down inside, I know it's way trendier than what you're wearing."


Gaw, y'all. This is just downright beautemous. If my hair looked like this every day for the rest of my life, that would be just fine with me. Please and thank you.



I lurve Alexa Chung. Her style, her wit and now, her chic messy bob haircut. Carry on Miss Chung, carry on.


Speaking of bobs, this one is so vintage it makes me squeal. If I weren't getting married in 7 months, I'd go out and do this asap.


And finally, I will be replicating this fo' sho' this summer. How fun and young is this braid/bun updo? Sign me up, STAT!

  1. Very inspiring! I'm growing my hair out and for the first time in YEARS I can put it up. Unfortunately it's living in big clips at the moment...may need to try some of these! Thanks for the inspiration.

  8. I LOVE messy hair! I rarely do anything different. It's very much "me". And I think this trend started when the designers saw my hair... : )
