I like Big Buns…

...and I cannot lie! That’s right, darlings, CC says buns are chicer than ever! The bigger and bolder, the better!

Hi CC,

I like big buns, too and I apply the buns on my hair. I think, that trendy, sexy, charming and chic. This have got so much mode, as I see it on these amazing pictures.

Buns can look so classy and chic, or conversely wild and crazy.

WendyB said...

Your title made me laugh. Good one.

Sophia said...

haha, i like big buns and i can't deny. sorry, couldn't help it!

i love the pure elegance and charm that comes with a low or high bun. i always feel like such a wannabe-ballerina when i wear one.

Narumi said...

Those buns are lovely, so elegant..My favourite is the one with the black ribbon !!

Lisa said...

I've always been envious of girls who can do the perfect ballerina bun with not a hair sticking out of place. It's such a sleek, chic look!

HoneyBunny said...

I love them as well!

Hey CC

I do love buns as well. They're so comfortable to wear! Especially in a bad hair day :)

Thank you for your compliment on my new layout ^^
And yes, I did read something that Lima got engaged on Valentine's Day... I so hope she's happy :)

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Raspberry

btw, this title was so fun ^^ I wonder how you come up with them, they're always so creative.

maggie said...

Ariella said...

Ah, this makes me wish I hadn't cut my hair! I really like big buns - and there are so many ways to do them!

Have a great week, dear!

MISS GLITZY said...

I find buns really lovely but never succeeded in doing a perfect one and now I got short hair cut...

Nemerae said...

I'm really bad at hair-styling.. I should try do buns with my hair but I'm sure they'll look horrible haha.
Lacroix and Marc Jabcobs ones are amazing!! and I absolutely love the Allure pic, that hairstyle is so nice =)
Besos!

Wish my hair wasn't so thin and short, otherwise I love the look. Maybe should I invest in a fake hair bun doodad? One that actually matches my hair!

Kira Aderne said...

It is so chic, I would like to know how to do it!

Fantastic!

Diego R. Wyatt said...

The bigger...the better CC! I love them because you can actually see the models' faces. And when done right, they are so elegant. I love the Alexandre Herchcovitch and Max Azria buns best. They also look cool braided.

Aline said...

very cool...I am rocking a messy bun today!!! I also wore a large bun on my wedding day...I figured that it was timeless and wouldn't be cringe worthy 20 years from now!

Sasi said...

You know, I've been wearing a bun all the day. But mine is definitely less chic..

Georgie said said...

Beautiful photos and I love buns! They remind me of ballerinas.

AMM blog said...

That's it! I'm doing my hair right now...although to pull off some of those looks I might need extensions!

Beauty Standard Blog said...

Max Azria's is my favorite! Buns are so classy, i love messy buns for off-runway looks.

Frankie said...

I do love a big bun! These are lush x

Sienna said...

Great post! I love out-there, ridiculous hair. Hair can be so boring sometimes, so this is tres tres fab.

Anonymous said...

I think Lacroix Couture this season had the most fantastic buns of all.

Jillian said...

cute!
i especially love the ones on the top of the head!

Blair Friedeman said...

Oh, me too! I just cut my hair and seeing these makes me so regret. Love that you showed how both and fun and classic they can be.

Jennifer said...
