Cassie Rockin Braids on Braids on Braids on 106 & Park

Lately, I’ve been infatuated with braids of all sorts. From hair to braid jewelry, there’s just something so classy and playful about a lovely braid. I honestly wish I had my long hair again to do this to myself but for now I have to deal with the current situation on my head but hey ill make due . Here are some of my inspirations for this timeless trend and dope style tips for yall asses.

There’s also nothing like a beautiful fishtail braid. This one below is from my beautiful friend and inspiration Samantha Jo Alanso from FRUITION LV / UNKNWN. Shes been growing her long beautiful hair for years and I can wait to get it THIS LONG. Along with her natural sense of style, she’s just all around awesome.

Swag master Mr. ASAP Rocky rocks classic french braids along with his gold grill and gold chain. Bringing back classic hood-ness and making it cool again I kinda am feelin’ it on some guys. By the way I just watched “Peso” again and JUST noticed that the dopest lady DJ right now DJ Venus X is in the vid. Check her out in some plait braids as well for the Miska Lookbook 2012. Swag.

ACCESSORIES. I love them, you can never have too much. This braided cuban link bracelet is to die for and its something you can DIY with thread and a simple bracelet.

Here’s a DIY to make your own. But you gotta admit this is dope and so easy!

How could I not include the glamorous actress Elizabeth Taylor. This photo is epic. Elizabeth playing Cleopatra in her 1963 film (RIP) and rockin’ braids so well.

LASTLY, but certainly not least is myself. I woke up my mother at 6:30 A.M. this morning just to make her do my braids before school. And by school I mean COLLEGE. So I got my little french braid in by my beautiful Nica mother. She said when I was younger I hated her doing them to me, well things change. I love when she does this now. I feel so West coast chula cool girl.
