dinner.in.the.sky

Dinner in the sky

Dinner in the Sky is a Belgian company that hosts dinner parties high above cities around the world. They hoist up the table with a giant crane, and three chefs cook an amazing meal. The photos are thrilling, but would you dare?

braided.top.bun

1. this simple hairstyle is perfect for a warm spring day, when you want to keep your hair cool and off your neck. first, part your hair in a deep side part (instead of combing it back smoothly). this makes it look a little less fancy, perfect for bike rides or sunday picnics. then gather your hair into a ponytail on top of your head. The higher, the better.

2. Make a loose braid all the way down the tail. don't braid it too tightly; a little messy is perfect and it will help it look less "ballerina." Secure the end with a rubber band; I recommend these clear elastic bands, since they'll blend into your hair color and won't be as visible.

3. creating a circle on top of your head with the braid. you don't want to wrap it tightly like a bun; instead you want it loose and open in the center, kind of like a braided pillbox hat! (if your hair is really long, you may have to double up the braid, one in front of the other.) when you reach the end, tuck the bottom of the braid under the circle you've created to hide it.

4. pin the braid in place with mini bobby pins, since they're easier to hide and won't be as noticeable.

5. a few suggestions: i like to make the look a little messier by pulling little strands of hair out at the back and sides, but if you prefer it cleaner, you don't have to do that. And if you'd like, you can pin your bangs out of the way with bobby pins.
Voila! Here's the look, beautiful and timeless. What do you think dolls?

light.as.a.feather

fiela feather lights by haldane martin

I don't know what it is about feathers lately but I am just smitten with fluffy things for spring!
  These light fixtures are fluffy, cozy and gorgeous...perfect for romantic french or scandinavian chic style. 

Designer Haldane Martin from South Africa actually makes these gorgeous feather lights.
 
They are oh so delicious + pretty. They come in either pendant style or arch lamp style. 
I love everything about that...get them here.
