Trendspotting: loose braid

Good morning and happy Monday!  It was a wonderful weekend full of much needed relaxation.  It's the very last weekend this year we had nothing scheduled--now on to the holiday season!  Anyone else have a packed calendar already?

Here is a trend I am a big fan of: the loose, side braid.  So soft and romantic, it's a nice departure from the traditional up-do.  If you have beautiful long locks but want a sweet look without the hassle of having your hair down distracting from your gorgeous gown, this is perfect!  I just chopped my hair this weekend but seeing this makes me wish for long hair again...
