Holiday Hair...

I have always loved a pretty up-do, 

but I always have trouble pulling it off myself.

I stand in front of the mirror for endless minutes

and bobby pins hanging out of my mouth..

exasperated! 

This year though,

I have found some great ideas

that might make it much more

do-able.

I'm excited!

Here goes:

I adore the tutorial that Cup of Jo found 

on Martha Stewart weddings.. 

I love the images of each step..

a much needed visual aide for hair impaired me!

(if only I had gorgeous red hair!)

Also, 

Maryjanes and Galoshes did a guest post

on Style Please!

with some great inspirational pictures

and tips

I definitely need all the help I can get.. 

and I hope for a successful up-do this year!
