A defined spiral curl frames each side of her face. A side part and a swooped up and over bang keep the strands off of the face. What a beautiful way to style shoulder length hair for holiday parties, school dances, or any formal event. The curl on her right side is formed by holding a curling iron vertically and twisting toward the face while on the left side the same is true however the bangs are curled away and toward the back. Her lovely golden blonde color along with deep red lipstick add to the vintage appeal.

The sock monkey is an all time favorite pattern with ears flapping on either side and a black tassel on top to simulate hair. Two buttons for eyes and a big red mouth top it off. The long flaps keep ears warm which is very important for those cold and windy weather days.
