An Ode To The Up-Do

When the wind is blustering, whipping and slapping at my face, my love for the up-do is never stronger. Perhaps it is because washing my hair every day seems like an insurmountable task or that those extra 15 minutes in bed are impossible to say no to, but dry shampoo and an up-do has become my new go to hair style.

My hair is very long. So on these lazy days I pile my hair atop my head and secure. I feel it looks like a cross between a bride's locks and the almost effortless elegance of Audrey Hepburn. I then add some large, dark sunnies and saunter off down the road.

I have also taken a liking to fish tail pleats - something which are regularly sported by the likes of Blake Lively. But don't let that put you off. A little trickier to nail but patience and practice always reaps rewards.
