But to make sure your night doesn’t leave everyone with a case of the “blahs” we have beauty expert Jamie Krell sharing tips for a memorable Girls Night Out.

Hair Tips for The Holiday: The Braided Bun Blend from Boston Salon Owner
Mario Russo, owner & lead stylist of Salon Mario Russo in Boston just shared with us some good news for braid and bun lovers: they no longer have to choose between the two! For those preparing for holiday parties, a high school reunion or even a girl’s night out, it’s time to cue the braid bun blend.
With the popularity of the fishtail braid and sock bun, it is no secret that braids and buns are enjoying the spotlight in the hair world; but trust us, the star power is even stronger when you combine the two styles. Oh and did we mention it’s a side bun? Nothing says classy and fabulous like a side bun! To help you achieve the perfect balance between the two, Mario Russo has compiled step-by-step instructions for this new look for your locks.
How to Create the Braid Bun Blend
Step 1: Begin by blow-drying wet hair to its smoothest state by utilizing a boar bristle brush. For added volume, we recommend using Bumble & Bumble Thickening Hairspray.
Step 2: Part hair slightly off to the side and begin to French braid the hair starting from the temple of the side with less hair. Continue to braid hair all the way around your head until you reach the spot just beneath the ear on the other side. Once you have reached this point, tie the end of the braid with a clear elastic.
Step 3: Take the side of the hair that has not yet been braided, and use a curling iron to curl the hair away from the face. Make sure to keep these curls loose so they look wavy, and beachy. For even more texture on this side, we recommend using Oribe Texturizing Spray.
Step 4: Take a few random pieces from the curled side and form a loose twist over the ear. This is the ear that’s opposite the side of the head where you started your braid.
Step 5: Begin to twist the curled side of your hair and the end of the braid around each other to form a very loose side bun. Secure with bobby pins.
Step 6: The look should be very whimsical and loosely secured. Fasten your bun with bobby pins and finish with shine hairspray like MoroccanOil Luminous Hairspray.
Sterling Silver Woven Ring from BERRICLE.com | Simply Beautiful Jewelry and Accessories
The Micro Pave Clear CZ Sterling Silver Woven Ring shown below is absolutely gorgeous! I received it in the mail last week from BERRICLE .com and was pleasantly surprised.
Although I have a beautiful wedding set (compliments of my husband) this ring is perfect for my right hand because it’s elegant while having a woven style and it’s also sterling silver.
I am the type of girl that likes simple elegance, so of course I had to visit the entire website.
BERRICLE.com has an wide array of jewelry from rings, earrings, necklaces, and accessories. There’s enough of a variety for everyone depending on your individual style.
Personally, I encourage anyone who’s searching for quality, affordable jewelry to check out BERRICLE.com
Handbag Accessories: Take Your Purse from Drab to Fab {VIDEO}
Handbags are one of my favorite accessories. I like having my items organized and in one place when it’s time head out.
But aside from having a beautiful designer purse, I also enjoy adding my personal style to bags with a few accessories. It’s great to own several handbags (whether they’re designer, vintage, or just a good deal) but here’s a question, “are they enhancing your overall look or simply blending in with your trousers?”
The video below talks more about how we can add a special touch to our handbags while looking fabulous. I hope it encourages everyone to place a charm, scarf, or have their initials stamped on their bag.
