DIY: cool summertime do's

Summer is rapidly approaching, so it should be no surprise that I am looking for some new summer do's. I love the warm weather, flip flops, tanned skin and cute hair! I am a girl who loves simplicity and fun, so I have found both! Apparently, top knots are in & I couldn't be happier!! Oh, and did I mention how easy these do's are to achieve??

My own version of Gwen Stefani's triple top knot!

How to do Gwen Stefani's do:

1. Separate your hair into three sections(two in the back and one on the crown of the head).

2. Twist sections of the hair into mini buns and secure with a bobby pin.

3. When twisting the front section, make sure you do a severe side part(it adds the fun factor).

Nicole Richie is my next muse. She is rockin' the top knot here(which is basically a messy bun). I found this do to be more do-able. You can pretty much wear this style any day, anywhere, anytime! It's my ballerina do! I love. It's easy to do too:

1. Pull your hair into a very high pony tail.

2. If you have bangs, leave them forward on your forehead.

3. Tease random sections of your pony(right where the elastic is) and then twist around the elastic and secure with a bobby pin.

4. Repeat until you finish each random piece of hair and secure them all.

I added a little forward twist to my non-existent bangs.

The top view is so cute.
