Rainy rain rain

Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m at the point now where I can’t really reach my toes. (It’s getting harder to see them too.) It’s a strange feeling, because I don’t feel big or cumbersome except when I’m trying to sleep or when I have to reach down to get something off the floor. Sometimes when I pass my reflection in front of a store I surprise myself. So this is what 6 months pregnant feels like! Huh.

- Target Raincoat
- H&M Mama Blouse
- H&M Jeggings
- Deena & Ozzy Wedges
Also: Michael Kors Watch & Vestique Necklace
Holy Batman wrinkles! That’s what I get for wearing a completely impractical raincoat. But, I love the color too much to not wear it. Also, did I get my money’s worth with H&M jeggings or what? This is the fourth or fifth pair I own and I don’t think I paid over $15 or $20 for any of them.



I got a question the other day when I did my hair similar to this about how I did it. Easy!
- Shower at night. Brush out your hair before getting into the shower, then shampoo and condition as usual.
- Instead of brushing or combing out the wet hair, simply twist into a high bun and secure with a band. I like to part my hair before putting it into the bun so there’s a defined part the next day.
- When you wake up, remove the hair band and let your hair air dry while you do other things (eat breakfast, do your makeup, walk the dog). It should be damp by morning, but not sopping wet. Don’t take a hair dryer to it! Do not!
- If you find you have a few frizzies, apply a bit of product. A bit.
- Heat up a large curling iron. I like a 1.25 inch curling iron as I find a 1.5 inch iron a bit too large for the type of curls I typically do.
- Choose small sections at random (about 1/2 inch sections) and curl outwards. (Don’t know how to do this? See The Beauty Department’s Everyday Waves tutorial.)
- The trick is to do the more defined curls at random so that you still get the natural volume and curl interspersed from leaving your hair in the bun overnight.
- Apply a bit of light hold hairspray and voila! Done.
