A major staple for the Winter season is the sweater. It was especially crucial for this season because it has been so brutally cold! Last week here in NJ we hit a low of three degrees with a wind chill of -10, so I’ve really been getting a lot of use out of my sweaters. Anyone knows that there’s a wide range in types of sweaters; cable-knit, oversized, turtleneck- just to name a few! But this season, it’s all about the graphic sweater.

So, how are sweaters going graphic? Just like your favorite graphic tees, I’ve seen sweaters with cool typography, animals, patterns, and pretty much anything else you can think of. I’m wearing a LC Lauren Conrad graphic heart sweater from Kohl’s. It was a great buy because it was only $30 and it has a fuzzy texture, so it’s soft and warm.

I styled my hair in a french braid fishtail! I absolutely love fancy braids, so I always mix and match styles to create something new. I like to switch it up and keep things fun for myself! This is a quick, easy ‘do for long hair. If you’re a braid-pro, it should only take five minutes and the impression it leaves is unforgettable. I always get a ton of attention when I wear my hair like this because it looks difficult.

If you don’t know how to french braid hair, you can stick with just the fishtail braid. It’s nothing more than layering pieces of hair! You just split the hair in two and take turns passing small pieces of hair to each side. The hardest part about this braid is that when I wear it in a higher ponytail like this, my arms get tired while styling it!
