Ban.do Signature Heart Headscarf
My latest obsession (yes, I know I have lots of them)…is the high bun and the head scarf. Why? Well I am all about style, but I am not all about taking 3 hours to get ready. I have a tendency to procrastinate and always think it will take less time for me to get ready than I know it actually does. This leads to constant days in the bathroom frantically blow-drying my hair and trying to put mascara on at the same time. It doesn’t work, don’t try it. My solution? Amazing do’s that take seconds to do. The high bun is really in this spring and the messy version is incredibly easy to throw together. Simply flip your head over, pull into a high pony tail, and wrap it into a bun (definitely watch how high you go as you don’t want to look ridiculous in the office). The headscarf is another easy way to spice up your updo and look like you spent a lot of time getting ready when in reality you threw your hair up in the car (don’t worry, I’ll never tell). 
Here are a few pics of what you should strive for with the high bun:

Oh by the way: You can also go glam with the high bun a la January Jones

Lets Be Honest: If you want to look like you spent a lot of time on your hair, but you don’t actually want to…this is for you

    Dear GAT-
    You may remember me from the offices of Tribeca. I am an avid fan of your keen fashion and lifestyle insights. I am currently sporting a high bun and a silver sparkly headband. I look (and feel) great.
    BUT- it's 70 degrees today and I'm sporting a pair of frye boots.
    WHAT TO WEAR IN THE SPRING?
    BEsides flats, can you give me a suggestion for a sole in between frye and flip flop?
    Thanks everso.
