Daydream

The spring looks are dropping into the stores rapidly now, and we're being told in abundance what we should be looking to wear in the coming months. However, what I haven't seen much of are the new beauty trends. As changing your hair and makeup is a far easier, quicker and cheaper way of updating your look now, if you're still embracing the Winter season, this might be a simple idea for you.

Whilst the heavy side plaits at Alexander Wang are sure to be a talking point soon enough, I loved the crimped curls at Diane Von Furstenburg. Created with multiple wet plaits (I gather from the photos at style.com), the look was classically girly, fun and pretty, and is something I haven't seen on the catwalk in a while. It looked perfect for that idealistic picture I create of spring in my head every year: green meadows, lots of daisies and lazing around in warm sunshine and gentle breezes, (maybe I should live on the set of Little House on the Prairie?). With added golden leaves and flowers intertwined in their hair, the models looked stunning, and the look was captured most perfectly on Arlenis Sosa.

Similarly to the plait seen at Alexander Wang, I loved the messy undone look seen at Miu Miu. I think hair extensions will definitely be in order come summer, but I might change the plait to a fishtail braid. I've always wanted to be able to do them, and have just learnt how!

So come spring time, I'll take the heavy fringe from Alexander Wang, the hip length plait at Miu Miu, make it my own with a fishtail and then undo it all later for the Furstenburg crinkles! Phew...sounds alot more complicated than I thought! ;)

What beauty trends do you want to try this spring??
