Welcome to Part Two of my Sailor Series! (Click here if you missed Part One) If you follow me on twitter, then you know I've been dying to try pattern mixing, but that it's been another one of those things I've been afraid to try. No more! I decided to start off easy and pair two of my favorite patterns: sailor stripes and polka dots. I topped (or bottomed?) the outfit off with my favorite orange peep-toes and there you go! I think it kind of has a French flair. Or maybe a 20s flair? I'm starting to sound like I'm Jennifer Aniston in Office Space. Let me shut up.

So for this outfit I was inspired by....(insert drumroll) Janelle Monae! She's all about the menswear. I also love her hair, so I tried a little Crystin-Spin on it ;) If you'd like to see the inspiration for my hair/outfit, check out Janelle below.

Review: Misikko's Hana Professional Flat Iron

So, a few weeks ago, I got this brand spanking new flat iron. It's funny because flat irons and I haven't been on good terms lately.  I have a ton of heat damage from using the flat iron too hot and too frequently. It destroyed my natural curl. So I retired my flat iron for a bit (about eight months) and my natural curl has finally started to come back. 

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Here are some pictures of the Hana Flat iron.

Pros:

• The product was delivered in bubble-wrap. That's an automatic plus for me ;)
• After use, my hair was actually softer and fluffier than it has been with other flat irons.
• The packaging was pretty amazing. Not only was it pretty, it came with all sorts of little things. Like a heating pad to put underneath the flat iron. It also came with eye shadow, nail files, an eye-sleepytime-thingy, a few nifty carrying cases, and some other little trinkets.
• The flat iron heats up really quickly. It was ready to go in under twenty seconds.
• The flat iron claims that it doesn't damage hair. 
• It also claims that the plates won't fade because they are pure ceramic as opposed to ceramic coated. 

Cons: 

• THE PRICE. It's super expensive. 
• Although it is probably the best flat iron I've ever owned, it still doesn't quite measure up to getting my hair done at a salon.
