The Perfect Sock Bun

I recently mustered up the patience and determination to spend quite a bit of time on a project I was dead-set on accomplishing: perfecting the sock bun. 😉

I have extremely thin hair, so I could never get my hair to cover all of the area around the sock. After I had watched what seemed like countless YouTube tutorials, I found this one by MakeupByTiffanyD, and decided to cut up an old (clean) sock, and give it a try.

And after many, many, many tries… this was my result!

I was literally so excited about it, when my younger sister came to visit that weekend I obviously had to try it on her hair. She has thick hair, and it took us a few attempts, but we eventually got it perfect!

This hairstyle has become my go-to, especially for my second day hair. It pulls together my outfits and gives my enormous earring collection their time to shine 🙂 Plus, with a little spritz of hairspray, it’s perfect for walking around the city.

Have you tried the sock bun? I’d love to see pictures! xx

I’m so excited we are in holiday party season! 🎄 It’s time for me to pull out all of the “what will I possibly wear this to” items in my closet. 😉 ⁣
⁣
This was my ensemble for my company’s Christmas party on Thursday (the night my purse was snatched - and later returned!! 🙏🏻). I just got the skirt on sale at @anthro_philadelphia but it looks like it’s sold out! 😣⁣
⁣
Are you mainly a holiday party hoster or an attendee? 🥂⁣

Instagram post 2191189867026612308_267536651 Stopped by the perfect after work drinks & apps spot in the city tonight! ⬇️⁣
⁣
(Some may call this “happy hour,” however, I don’t make it back from work in time for too many happy hours! 😔) ⁣
⁣
I had such a nice night catching up with @brittanymovesphilly & @brittmovesphilly at @grancaffelaquila this evening! ⁣
⁣
We got drinks (I loved my Milano Sour) and a cheese/charcuterie board (including my fav, @parmaham_usa 😍). Our waiter even sent out some cute little gelato & sorbet samples! ⁣
⁣
Definitely a good spot to check out if you’re in the Walnut/Chestnut Rittenhouse area doing some holiday shopping this month! ⁣
