This has been a season of fairytale-esque folky braids and I have been completely loving it. They are just so romantic and feminine- I could happily wear a different one every day.

I love Chloe Aftel's photos so very much!
lovely pictures, the last one is the best!
love those braids! so beautiful!
hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I LOVE this look- if only untalented fingers would agree.
love braids... and yes tonight i will wear one... but maybe in a different way. thank you for the inspiration.
Wow! These photos are fantastic! I might just have to try the look in the first one! =)
This is so fantastic! Did you ever notice how great the braids are at Free People? They even made a page of some fairly simple how-to's...

I have been sporting a simple braid a few times this week. It takes me back to my childhood and I kinda like it. xx
love your blog. inspirational.
i LOVE this blog, and this is a great post - however, i'm saddened by the lack of diversity in the photos. women of so many different cultures wear braids. and i'm sure your readership is much more diverse than the images you're posting. i have a giant afro and i love to wear braids:)
♥♥♥
Beautiful selection of photographs! Makes me wish I had my long hair again.
one thing I never found out how to do.....this has inspired me to learn.....oh yes the second image is my fave..thanks so much!
I do love the lightness of the fourth image . It feels so fairy tale like
Oh, this makes me want to do more with my hair--and wish it was longer!
what a lovely images, wish i was good at doing my hair with braids, just love them...
The one on the red background is really original. My hair is still too short, and when i try to make a little braid it doesn't look this fairytale-like :)
Simple beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
