Beauty Board: Summer Braids
Last summer, you couldn't stroll through an outdoor concert, scour a flea market, or simply sip a cocktail on the patio of your favorite watering hole without espying milkmaid braids. The Heidi-inspired style—favored by head-turners like Nicole Richie, Rachel Bilson, and Sienna Miller—spread instantaneously, until it seemed like nearly every hipster with hair had these crowning braids. While the plaited-and-pinned up 'do remains a fashion-world favorite (just check out Chanel's fall ad campaign for reference), we'd like to focus on the next wave of woven hairstyles. Whether it's a modified French, à la Diane Kruger, or an undone fishtail, per Mary-Kate Olsen, there definitely a few fantastic styles worth emulating!
We'll give you the behind-the-scenes info on several celebrity-endorsed looks, but first, we'd like to note that the braids shown into today's layout are actually somewhat easy to achieve! That said, if you're not particularly dexterous in the hair-styling department, do start with something relatively simple: the fishtail. In addition to being relatively uncomplicated, it also happens to be our favorite style, especially when done in an imprecise way, such as the relaxed version Mary-Kate Olsen wore to Proenza Schouler's S/S 09 show. Instead of pulling all of her hair into the fishtail, Olsen kept things casual by leaving her front layers loose; we love the contrast of the untamed pieces with the structured braid. Olsen was ahead of the game with her narrow, multi-strand look (which was created by Rolando Beauchamp, who is one of Bumble and bumble's key talents and a runway/editorial superstar), but of course, she's not the only one wearing this style. Fellow fashion-darling Diane Kruger sported a hybrid double-French-turned-fishtail at the Cannes Film Festival. By wearing her hair in this informal and earthy braid, Kruger tempers the formality of her black strapless vintage Chanel dress and achieves a well-balanced afternoon ensemble.
In addition to these sea-inspired variations, we also appreciate the next generation of Gallic braids—French fusion, if you will—seen on Drew Barrymore and Lauren Conrad. While promoting Grey Gardens Barrymore wore her hair in a wrapped braid that started in the more traditional French-style at her crown, then transformed into a gorgeous braided pinwheel in the back. Hair maestro Giannandrea created the relaxed-yet-ornamental look by first brushing dry shampoo through Barrymore's hair; he typically favors Oscar Blandi's Pronto Dry Shampoo
($19) or Bumble and bumble's Hair Powder ($35). The dry shampoo is crucial: it gives hair the right texture for braids (overly clean hair is tricky to work with) and also imparts it with a lovely, slightly matte look. Using his fingers, Giannandrea created a relatively deep, semi-precise side part, then wove a French braid parallel along Barrymore's hairline. He suggests starting your plait with large sections of hair and keeping the braid relatively loose, as this is a more fashionable and less Big Love-like look. Once the crown was completed, Giannandrea created a gorgeous circular spiral of smaller braids on the back of Barrrymore's head. Again, the braids were slightly imperfect and casually pinned up, which gives the hair a more modern vibe and contrasts nicely with the romantic front.
If your abilities are too amateur to take on such a nuanced braid, you might want to try Lauren Conrad's simpler style instead. Seen above at a book signing for her novel, LA Candy, in Los Angeles, Conrad autographed copies with her long locks pulled back in two French braids, which culminate in a voluminous bun at the nape of her neck. Created by Christine Symonds at Warren Tricomi Salon (323.651.4545), Conrad's hairstyle blends bohemian ease with youthful elegance and is worth attempting at home.
Whatever style appeals to you, we suggest that you check out a few basic technique tips, courtesy of Scotty Cunha and Mara Rozek, in the LA Times' handy how-to slideshow. The Ande Lecompte Salon (310.273.4100) stylists break down both French and fishtail braids in a step-by-step tutorial that is sure to help even the most plait-challenged people figure out this sweet summer look.

CHANEL BAGS
REPLICA CHANEL HANDBAGS
CHANEL PURSES
CHANEL HANDBAGS
Today, we just put the symbolic double C logo aside. Among all the Chanel bags, the most enduring design may be the quilted replica Chanelbags. People all know that the fashion is really short tidal current, and any hit is due to be merged in the waves of trends at last, there seems left nothing that can stand the test of time. However, the quilted design is such an exception! Chanel bags are always related with elegance, luxury and celebrity. Chanel classic quilted handbag, just the name is enough to conjure up its luxurious image. Chanel quilted bag is a hot star among all the classic items. Replica Chanel Handbags is a worthwhile investment. Its simple shape conveys sophistication and minimal details lend a timeless beauty that makes this handbag universally appealing. If you're in the market for a high-end Chanel Purses, it's worth considering something from this legendary fashion house. Of course, there are some versions that are really very functional. Go and get whatever you need.
Sometimes we can say that the appeal degree of a label's replica version can be regarded as a good reflection of the reputation of this label. Therefore, according to such a great amount of Chanel handbags, we can tell that Chanel is really well received all around the world. I wonder if I can stand still without any urge to get it immediately when facing such stunners. I just simply can't tear my eyes off. And every fashion season, the Chanel House launches several stunning items. Then what? What should I do? Do I have to part reluctantly with what I treasure? I wonder if you have the same problems as mine. If so, I want to share my solution with you - the replica versions! Why not? As they have the same charming designs as well as the high-end quality, exquisite craftsmanship, you will never be regrettable having such good replica Chanel handbags. braids are so cute.

weird that there would be a post about braids not featuring the braid master, nicole richie.
diane kruger's braid is the best, just not in the way she's wearing it... http://roxibeatrice.blogspot.com/ I love this trend! I wish I could do my hair like MK's or LC's, but my hair is way to dark (dark dark brown) and thick,so it doesn't turn out good and you can't see it
:| I just learned how to do the fishtail braid from a girl on youtube, look up fish tail braid, it was the easiest way for me to learn and its super easy to do! Love Lauren's the best! Must try this out myself. This is definitely my favorite trend hairstyle yet, I loved the french braid and now the fish tail has taken over and its so easy to replicate and pull off http://confessionsoftg.blogspot.com/ Drew and Lauren's braids look so stunning, beautiful! I'm bored with normal braids.. fishtails all the way! I love them even more now that I can actually do one in my hair. [:
hlwanderlust.blogspot.com i love braids..lauren's looks nice!! Love these braids and they're so easy to do. I'll defiantly be trying out the fishtail braid
stoleninspiration.blogspot.com I think Diane Kruger looks fab, but I think Mary-Kate has kind of stepped over the line between artfully dishevelled and tramp here. Shame, she usually gets it bang on. I wish I'd never had my hair cut short...
http://dreamingspiresandoldcartyres.blogspot.com love the braids for summer! I really think Drew Barrymore's braids are pretty. Love all of these, Drew Barrymore looks so pretty. I love Diane Kruger's version! I just have to wait for my hair to be a little bit longer... I love all the braids. Braids are so easy and they're so versatile too.
http://fringeandbicycles.blogspot.com/ Love this post. I would rock braids, but I just chopped all of my hair off! I think braids would be a great thing to do too if you are waiting for your hair to grow out. Best post in a WHILE! Reminds me more of the posts your website would do last year, which were really interesting. These ideas are totally refreshing from the overplayed braid hairdo's from last summer, keep up the good work! loving the fish tail braids!!!
