Chicago Street Fashion - Buns of Glory

I spotted this woman while riding the bus down Milwaukee Avenue and seriously considered just getting off at whatever stop she did. Luckily we had a common destination and she kindly agreed to pose for a little street style action.

Here's the short of it. Her makeup is stunning, her outfit is perfect, and her hair is glorious. Can you tell I like this look?

I'm really digging the subtle mixture of darks in this ensemble. The navy, dark grey, black and brown all together, with a little pop of red from the bag is lovely. Also noteworthy is the contrasting textures of the over-size white scarf with the fur collar of the coat. Well done lady.

Now back to that beautiful ballerina bun. All you long-locked readers should DEFINITELY try this at home. Heres a nifty tutorial to show you how.



Thanks to Lauren Conrad, Kristin Ess and Amy Nadine at the Beauty Department for letting me post this video!
