Hairstyle Envy: Braids

The Beauty Department is one of my favorite places to find inspiration for new hairstyles (as well as make up and nail ideas). Lauren Conrad is even one of the contributors. Here's a collection of current favorite braided styles.

I love looking at hairstyle, and while I am pretty good, they never look quite like the photos. Here's is what I ended up with.

To make it yourself do two small braids using hair from just above your ears and knot them twice with a simple square knot. The bobby pinning is the slightly difficult part. You'll need two, one on each side. Make sure to pin up the shaft of the hair and and begin behind the knot to hide them.

It's perfect for dinner out or a party on campus.
