Up Up and Away!

Updo's are where it's at if you're looking for an easy trend to live by this spring and summer. And isn't it the perfect look for Mommy's on-the-go? Some of you may even be thinking..."Wow, I am in style and I didn't even know it. I throw my hair up and go all the time!" Well, good for you...this is your year! ;) Now you won't be considered lazy...you'll be considered trendy!

I am sporting a rather long do at the moment and I love wearing my hair up. I've been inspired to try to some twists on the updo by one of my fav beauty guru's on youtube; Alexandra @ HRH Collection. Click here to watch some of her videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/hrhcollection - she's a classic beauty who is not afraid to think outside of the proverbial box.

Here are some ideas for trendy new twists on a classic messy updo...

Hope that you enjoyed this post! Here's to throwing your hair up in 5 seconds flat and looking like a trendy celeb...don't forget the big shades (as if you were trying to hide from the paparazzi) and Starbucks...

You girl...are ALL THE RAGE.

It's true! If you are a gal that looks good with her hair off her face...those messy up-do's and ponytails are the in thing. I guess I should do a hair post one of these days. After all, it is what I do! It is a job though so I tend to not "talk shop" too much unless I am actually there.

cute post! I was considering chopping my hair, but maybe I'll just try an up-do. :)

About

A Whirlwind Beginning (Jennifer)-

In winter of 2003, I stepped out of my comfort zone and ran straight into my husband.
On our second date (NYE 2003/4), a random girl came up to me and told me that he was my soul mate.
4 months later, we were engaged.
2 months after that, we were married.
I picked up my entire life and moved 10 hours South...away from everything I've ever known.
6 months after that, we had our first son, Nicolas.
5 months after that, we found out that we were expecting our daughter. My husband could not and still does not believe that she is a girl. ;)
We've lived in 2 states, 4 homes and have had 3 children in 7 years. All three of our children were born before our 4 year wedding anniversary.
We welcomed Noah on my birthday in 2008.
Best birthday present. EVER.

Presently -

We are settled in Chester County, PA...close to all of our family and friends in a home that we love and enjoy making our own.

Us -

Jeremy, who was a sergeant in the Marine Corps when I met him, is now self-employed, plays the piano and is an avid outdoors man. He bow hunts for whitetail in the fall and winter months and fishes (semi-pro style) the rest of the year.

Jennifer enjoys the privilege of being a full-time stay at home mom. She loves all things HOME, interior design, photography, chai tea, yard sales, blogging, reading, quotes, music, New England and good vampires.

Our Kiddos -

Nicolas (6) aspires to be a major league baseball player, fishes with his daddy and enjoys stalking deer (with bow and arrow in hand) in our backyard.

Natalie (5) is our super smarty pants. She enjoys art, Barbie's, spending time with grandma (x's 2) and CHOCOLATE.

Noah is 3. That really should sum him up. lol He loves his blankie, being tickled, coloring on walls, breaking things and eating...us out of house and home.

We are a household of faith and God is ultimately at the center of everything we do.

What's New? -

We've begun a new journey this fall with homeschooling...it's a nerve racking venture but we're excited about it!

The Blog -

This blog is a creative outlet for Jennifer in which she writes about our life in general...from the marvelous to the mediocre...the miraculous to the mundane.

Welcome to A Fine Romance. We're so happy you're here!
