I've developed an obsession with braided hair, but have been unsuccessful to date in getting the look I aspire to, a la Sienna pictured here!With my clumsy hands I'm going to have to leave it to my hair dresser next time I have a fancy do' to go to!

Loose, unstructured plaits appeared all over the catwalks for s/s 10 as well and are much more achievable. I really love this milkmaid look though and I'm dying to have a go at it, it was popular particularly at Oscar de la Renta as pictured here..

In work during the week I got to have a chat to top stylist Jake Davis from the John Frieda salon in London who informed me that unstructured bobs, soft natural blow dries and huge sweeping fringes will be hot this season, while blonde remains a favourite for spring looks!
