I for one totally fell for the braid trend that happened last year. And think for the most part anyone can pull it off. It’s such a simple & cute way to change up the hair-do just a little bit.
First it was the neatly tucked small braid in the front (Ya know for the time when you’re trying to grow out the bangs! I personally still do this look even when I’m not. Ha!)
As our lovely L.C. & Jen Aniston demonstrate here…
Then it was the larger crown braid (and it’s many interpretations), for an ethereal up-do that a lot of celebs sported.
And now it’s all about the messy side braid!
Which gives you that “I just woke up and threw my hair in this sloppy but super cool looking braid” look.
Well my lovely peeps at Free People have put together their very own “how-to” video for you on how to get this awesome look, by creating a fishtail braid. Which I thought was a lot more difficult, but actually looks pretty do-able.
I for one am gonna give it a whirl! 
Wish me luck!
p.s. I learned a few days ago that Rumi from Fashiontoast is in Philadelphia right now styling & shooting for Free People! Can’t wait to see the spread she does for us!
