Since several of my friends have gotten married as of late, I've been hearing a lot about the anxiety that comes along with trying out hairstyles and makeup for The Big Day.
I've never been a big fan of up-dos. Maybe because I've never seen a good up-do in real life? Or probably because I have a large head that is round. SRSLY, having all my hair up does me no favors.
But I've been seeing this trend of loosely coiled side-buns lately and it looks pretty good! You can keep the side bangs and face-framing layers of a longer hairstyle, but still have it off your neck.
Pretty good!
Also, a red lip on your wedding day? LOVE IT.
In other news, I randomly went to an Il Divo concert last night. One of my girlfriends is obsessed (OBSESSED) with them and her boyfriend got tickets to their show for her. He had 2 extras so .... why not?
If you don't know, they are a Britain-based "pop opera" group comprising of 4 men in their 30's-early 40's. I had not heard any of their songs before last night. It was ... tolerable. Haha.
This was probably my 2nd most random concert I have ever gone to, the 1st being Peter Cetera of Chicago.
OMG I love your cheetah print dress!!!
And the fourth pic of the loose bun hairstyles is the best ...in my opinion :)

June 24, 2009 at 11:15 AMI like Audrina's style, very pretty. I think a red lip on wedding day are so classic and lovely. Most def do makeup and hair trials until you are happy you found the look. It saves ALOT of headaches. =) Post your trials! I'd love to see!

June 24, 2009 at 3:44 PMi'm getting married in summer so i think i will have to put my hair up. if i had my way i would have a hair style change in between church & reception. don't know if that's logistically feasible though. in the mean time i'm growing out my bangs for the wedding ( since i have no idea which way i will be styling it ).

June 24, 2009 at 9:11 PMBy "random," do you mean "AWESOME"? Because it was. More awesome than any of us could have imagined.

June 25, 2009 at 10:21 AMLove the side-bun!! I rock it for summer-time, but for some reason, it never looks as...dimensional as the celebrities'. I think it'd look fabulous on you & of course wear red lips would look amazing!
