Mother, model and elementary school teacher, Brandy Gueary is no stranger to wearing different hats. And we mean that literally. She’s an expert of accessorizing with all manner of chapeaux to shades to scarves. Scroll deep in Gueary’s feed for a style evolution.

Parisian style blogger Nelly Muse has a discerning eye for the unique, and that extends to her locks. In each and every one of her distinct outfits, her hair plays a major part of the head-to-toe approach. Twice as nice is that she’s one-half of a very stylish pair: her significant other and photographer @leshommesheureux also lets his natural curls do their thing.
