  9. This looks like it was a lot of fun! I wish I could braid my won hair but my fingers are way to clumsy for braiding, if someone else did it for me I would wear it without a question! Your hair looks so cute! Glad you get to try the Kerastase products after all they are great. :)

  21. Yay! I was waiting for this post! I saw on twitter that you attended! I WISH i could have gone, but i'm from good ole Jersey so it was a bit far! I love braids and a braid bar sounds devine! Of course, pair a braid bar with Kerastase (which i recently did a blog entry on) and Birchbox (both of wich i LOVE) and you have a fabulous event! I love the pictures!!! Thanks for posting!!! xoxo Carla

  25. Look like you had a fabulous time. The braid you chose were perfect and matches your outfit. I wish I had the skill do fancier braid. I can only do a simple braid.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Great photos! Yes, my hair is now long enough again to have a simple braid at the back.

    ReplyDelete
  27. As someone who works in marketing- this is super freaking cool. A braid menu! Amazing!

    ReplyDelete

  34. Beautiful photos! The 1st one is very professional with the lighting, angle, and colors! What beautiful braids too. Simple enough to do at home?? My hair's too short for braids. Maybe a teeny tiny one.

    ReplyDelete
  35. wowwww!What great pictures! Love those hairstyles, they look great!

  38. Oh how fun! I would love for someone to braid my hair cool like that!

  39. My hair isn't long enough for braids, but I love the Kerastase products. I have my hair cut and coloured at Vidal Sassoons and have the Kerastase Reflection products, they are amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Looks like it was a really nice event and I like your hair :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. What a fun event! I can't get braids because of my short hair, which will probably be even shorter in a few days (I'm planning a major change of looks!). By the way, Kerastase used to be also one of my favourite haircare brands, but now that I'm totally paraben-free I have swapped them for other brands.

  45. The event looks like it was a lot of fun! The braids look great on you too - the style looks like it would be very complicated to replicate though :P

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ooh that is a pretty pink Essie polish that you got. You looked like you had a good time x :-)

    ReplyDelete
  47. That looks like it was a lot of fun! My hair slips out of most things I try to do to it but I just got some beach spray that may help with things like braids. :)

    ReplyDelete
  48. I love braids, unfortunately I'm terrible at it!!! I depend on my mother every time I feel like having my hair braided! XD

  60. I so prefer your hair back and with no sunglasses - you're so pretty!
    Those cupcakes look delicious!

    ReplyDelete
  61. this is so cool
    a braid bar, so clever
    did you sleep in yours and did it last through the night??
    when my hair was longer i braided it all the time, i can still do it and don't know why i haven't
    will be braiding at the beach next week for sure

  62. This looks like a really fun event! That is a genius idea to do a braid bar and they look amazing! Yes, I'm trying to learn how to do different kinds of braids myself lol! And ok, that would be bad not to give the LV bag back then. Darn! And yes, probably MOM will be doing the alterations, esp if it's silk. I'm working on 2 other remakes right now so um..yeah, that's it!!

    ReplyDelete
  63. looks like you had an awesome time! love the braids! I wanna try that hairstyle next time! :-)

  64. I wish I was there, looked like you had a great time! And I really want to sport those braids, too bad I don't have enough hands to do so haha. xx
