Feeling the Winter Blues

My favorite outfit of mine for the Spring!!! It screams ...Snow White or a young Miss Taylor dress

OH Dear!!!!! I knew this was going to happen again!

As soon as the first month and a half of winter passes by ...i start looking into my spring wardrobe and I start to have the winter blues!!!!

My favorite time of year is spring and summer ...I love wear colorful dresses, flower hats.... basket handbags!!! ...

Since my room is all spring like... I miss the warm sun already!!!!

I know I'm kind of getting a head start but I'm getting  inspired from these 1940's and 50's pictures!
Since my new years resolution is to sew ...maybe I should pick one of these to *try* to make hahaha!!!

How To Cut Betty Bangs!!

Hello Vintage Lovers!!!
Today I will be showing you how to cut your own Betty Bangs... or if you have a friend you can use this go to at home guide to cut the "Perfect" Betty Bangs!!







Tools you need:
* Styling comb
*Duckbill clips / or Butterfly clips
* Good Shears
*Water Bottle

****************************************
Lets get started!!



1) So first wet your hair in the front. 


2) Determine how thick you want your bangs.( Betty Bangs are fairly thick) Section your "bang hair' in a triangle. 
3) Clip The rest of your hair back

4)  Now take your triangle section and split it in half.


Just realised I cant really show you while I'm actually cutting it @ the same time take a picture of it!!
5) Cut your bangs starting in the middle . Don't cut to short leave *extra length ... it will shrink when it drys. 
6) Now take a little bit of the section you cut and use that as your guide for the sides. Cut the temples a little shorter than the middle of the bang. To have the U effect

7) Sides already cut.

 8) Now take the hair that you split in half down.


10) Now match it up with the hair that has already been cut in the bottom. 



11) Finished Cut Bangs. A Perfect U shape!  





**Now for the finishing touches!! Blow dry your bangs and flat iron it!!***
Lovely your perfect Pinup Betty Bangs!!!


Hope you enjoyed my how to!

Have any question.. Please fell free to ask!

Love as always!!
