I Like Big Buns

I have always, always loved Lauren Conrad's hair on the cover of her Style book but could never reproduce the look (A for effort, F for execution). How the heck does she get it so big? I have way more hair than she does but my bun always ended up small. Hrmph.



WELL all be damn! This weekend I ran across this blog tutorial for a "sock bun" - do you think LC has a sock in her bun?


So I gave it a try -- pretty close right? Obviously less sleek and I'm no LC but I'm convinced her bun is padded. I know your style secrets now LC! Mwahahahaha!


But wait, there's more! Supposedly I can sleep in my sock bun and wake up with perfect hollywood curls. (I'll let you know tomorrow!).

Oh yeah! LC definitely padded that bun.

Ok, so in the 90's there was this infomercial that advertised big padded buns. I *think* that the name of it was "You Go Girl" although I can't find anything by googling that. I just remember my ex-BF would always say "You GO Girrrrrl." Everytime I would wear it and I think he did that because that was the name. LOL

Or maybe I'm losing my mind...

Anyway, it was basically just a piece of foam rubber that you wrapped your hair around and it made a huge French twist bun thingie.

The sock bun looks MUCH easier though. You totally pull that off, Allison!

And btw, that little girl on those videos is dead sexy. Wooooweeee. I could just sit here and listen to her talk and play with her hair all day long. I think I have a girl crush on her.

Thanks for sharing!

That looks so great on you! I wish I had enough hair to pull off something similar.

I'm obsessed with LC. I love her hair, makeup, style, EVERYTHING.

Thanks for sharing! I don't know if I have enough hair for this but I wish I did!

Menu Planning

I no longer share my weekly menu because it is rather boring since changing our eating habits. However, you can see the historical list in these places!
