Rocking the fishtail braid ♥

So recently its been a bit of a goal of mine to learn how to do a fishtail braid!

I see so many pictures when looking at blogs and tumblr of girls with

fishtail braids, I even see it in some high fashion shots, which of course makes

it all the more appealing.

The following is a recent free people ad.

Eventually i'll learn how to add these cool colors into it!

Then this morning when one of my favorite blogs posted a "how-to" on 

doing a fishtail braid I jumped on the opportunity to learn!

Click here to see for yourself an easy how-to from Superficial girls blog!

Even the celebs are rocking the fishtail braid!

Below is Shailene Woodley at the MTV awards this year.

And remember this was my first time.

Have a beautiful day

The Dominican Republic

So for a little vacation time with my sister and step-mom we decided to go to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Everything started out great and I was excited to spend some alone time with my sister.

This was on the plane to philly.

Then on the plane to Punta Cana we got first class ;-)

This is the Island upon arrival with an airplane view. We stayed at a hotel called Bahia Principe, and although we had an amazing time together I would never recommend the hotel to anyone, the food really wasn't any good! Apart from the deserts which were good.

The drinking was unlimited but I couldn't find any Strong bow at the resort so I really didn't drink too much. My sister is 13 and they let her drink at the resort. Bad influence I know but it's Vacation! So the first night we felt classy so with out dinner and desert we had white wine, or "blanco vino" as I called it in order to communicate with the Spanish employees.

There were some cute shows at the resort like the Lion King and one where they pretended to be stars from today. Even though I really should have enjoyed time at the beach sand always makes me uncomfortable so a lot of my time was spent by the pool where I read Water for Elephants. 

All in all it was a relaxing vacation which is what it was meant to be!

And I even got to work on my spanish skills while I was there.

Unfortunately that is the only spanish studying I've done all summer.

There also wasnt too much Fashion going on during the trip but my night time dinner outfits were all from Charlotte Russe.

They loved that we asked them to take a picture!

(They only spoke Spanish)
