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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

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

    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.
