show me your pretty side

i love the look of the side braid, as seen on the runway in Alexander Wang's spring 2010 RTW...

or on the beautiful Diane Kruger at Cannes...

but what about us normal people?!

in order to rock this look, be sure to start with a curling iron to create loose waves--this helps to keep the braid from unraveling! don't overdo the bobby pins. the point of this look is to look effortless and casual--that's why we love it!
