Pass The Bubbly Please

Ah. The New Year is upon us - where did the time go? One more reason to celebrate with friends and loved ones, and one more reason to dress up and look fabulous. I'm sure you have all found your dresses already but I just passed by the store window of BCBG the other day. BCBG has always attracted me, there is something simple and ethereal about their dresses, and their cutting (for me at least, is superb).

Their dresses make you feel almost old hollywood glam or simply modern chic. I know they're rather simple, definitely something you've seen before, but talk about excellent draping! I don't know, there's something about them that makes me fall in love.


Love the velvet bodice of this dress!


This dress is actually much more beautiful in person.


Aughhh...I need to get this - look at that sleeve detail!


So simple, so lovely (especially the colour). Hm, I will advise you not to wear a headband that the model demonstrates...


Ok, kind of generic I know, princess cut blah blah blah. But the material! And a colour that would look great on all skin tones.

What are you doing for New Year's? &equally important, what will you be wearing?

Short Choppy Hairstyles 2009



Short Choppy Hairstyles

Creating a good choppy hairdo often requires special equipment not often employed by the hairstylist. This can be important. For stylists, the tools of the trade are a joy to work with. That is why clients must think carefully when listening to the recommendations of their favorite groomer, regardless of how long they’ve worked with them. After a while, the professional hair designer wants to use all of his tools. The urge to finally work with that special razor or trimmer may overcome them even when the head in front of them is not right for the job! This is why you must communicate clearly with your stylist when you move to a shorter look. Don’t let your expert use you to try out that new piece of equipment!
With that note to the wise and wary being done, it should be noted that a new choppy haircut can be a really wild and fun adventure. The location of the chops and abrupt snips used in this style are chosen through intuition and experience, not through a well-established plan.
It is best to have at least medium length hair before beginning this hairdo, because of all the styles in the world, the choppy look is the one that is most likely to veer off into disaster during creation. Every professional stylist has a bad day, sometimes! Even so, a good stylist will have no problem creating a great choppy hairdo is your face shape and hair texture are right for the style.

Crazy Bob Hairstyles 2010



Crazy Bob Hairstyles Ideas 2010


You should get the bob for the best reason of all: it’s a fun hairdo that will allow the best features of your face to be seen! The bob is an extraordinarily flexible hairdo that allows you to look trendy and fun in a variety of ways. Another nice quality of the bob is that all of its versions are low maintenance hairdos. You have a longer bob with hair below the ears, you can have your bob inverted, and you can enjoy a short bob, as well. If one bob isn’t working, try another!
2009 Spring Summer Hairstyles Edition - Crazy Bob Hairstyles

It must be admitted however, that the short bob is dominating today’s red carpet galas and extravaganzas. One need only look at the cover of the latest fashion magazines to see Victoria Beckham, Rhianna, and Audrey Tatou playing with their bobbed hair, with fantastic results. Of the three, Tatou employed the shortest look, and she used it beautifully. With a nest of curls around her pointed features reminiscent of Betty Boop, Audrey was darling and cute. Her bob was allowing her very pointy facial features to rest in a soft halo of black ringlets. If you also possess pointy features, a triangular or heart-shaped face, or even just a good set of well-defined cheekbones, you are a prime candidate for the short bob.

You need to consult your stylist to see if you fit in this category, however. Even the round face can make a short bob work! Long and thin faces are not the best foundation to use for this hairstyle.

Hairstyles for Fine Hair - 2009



Hairstyles for Fine Hair in 2009

Fine hair is another element of styling that presents a challenge to any salon worker worthy of the name. Sometimes the challenge lies in not reacting! Can fine hair be successfully curled? Of course it can, but just because it can be doesn’t mean that a stylist should dive for the irons and perform a princess updo the moment he sees the fine-haired client! Neither should the stylist ignore the classic first option for fine hair, the straight bangs.
2009 Spring Summer Hairstyles Edition - Hairstyles for Fine Hair

Fine hair
always allows straight bangs to work well, regardless of face shape. However, if you’ve gotten sick of stylists proposing straight bangs for your fine hair the moment you walk in the salon, that’s okay! You too can have piecy curls, if you have the time (and the money)! The principles for hairstyling are always the same. What looks good, in your opinion, and what would you prefer? It’s a free country, and that’s all that matters. You must calmly evaluate the facts. Is your face thin or wide? Are your features, the nose, chin, cheekbones, and eyes, well defined? Each of these factors affects the balance and attractiveness of your fine hair.

A long face with fine hair
will probably benefit immensely from the creation of waves and curls, since the curves will contrast and ease the severity of the vertical facial lines. A round face with fine hair has more options, as far as glamour looks go. Fine hair works well with bobs and other wonderful hairdos made for the round face.

Merry Christmas To All, and To All A Goodnight

Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you had a wonderful evening and a beautiful day! Were in good company with family and friends, wrapped up warm - or dressed downright cool! - with good food, wherever you are!

This spread instantly made me want to layer up with colours and scarves - I actually decided that I had too much black in my closet! Is that even possible? Love the fresh faces and the braided hair. What wonderful winter inspiration - take the look of fall and bring with you into winter, enough of the dull greys and the generic black. I can't believe I just said that.

Oval Face Hairstyles 2009



Oval Face Hairstyles Tips
2010

The lucky girls have an oval face!
The oval shape is popular with stylists because it offers options and balance. In the oval, there is no predominant feature, and the jawbone is usually a little narrower than the cheekbones. Many different hairstyles work well with an oval face, and the adaptability of this facial structure will persuade some stylists to try more extreme styles than they would usually consider for their clients. For an example of the classic oval face, consider Jennifer Anniston. Her eyes are large, and they are well balanced by her other features: her handsomely centered nose, a lively straight forehead, and a pair of smooth yet clearly defined cheekbones. Jennifer Aniston on the cover of the GQ magazine - January 2009

The balancing act between these each of these features gives Jennifer her handsome, fresh and cool look (when combined with a great hairstyle, of course). We all have these features on our faces, but the oval face gives an easy sense of room. Some of the hairdos recommended for the oval face are the ponytail, the bob, the layered look, long hair, short hair, medium length hair, and basically any hairstyle you can think of! The oval face is often found on models, unless they are of the highly angular type used in haute couture. Perhaps it can be said that the best overall look for an oval face is the updo, with strands decorating each side of the head. This look allows the beauty of the hair to interact with the face while showing off the lovely balance in the face of the lucky girl.

Hairstyles short for women

Hairstyle bob 2008

Fashion Hairstyle Trends 2009
Hairstyle 2009
In 2008 hair styles are exciting, many old styles, but lots of new twists. There is a strong retro influence from the forties, forties haircuts were sleek, well groomed and can be dressed up for added sophistication. The kinks we see in 2008 are a direct influence from this time, with hitherto bone straight hair getting an added flair by the use of curling tongs to add flips and barrel curls. This adds a new dimension to styles such as the bob, which for some years has been a favourite hairstyle. Last year saw Victoria Beckham shed her bob and bravely go for the extra short chop, but this does not signify the end of the bob, it will remain fashionable throughout 2008 and can still be seen on catwalks around the world, as it is a timeless classic. If a hairstyle is feeling a little tired, 2008 is the year to update it. Updating any hairstyle can easily be achieved with the use of clever layers, adding texture and body to otherwise flat haircuts.

Pixie Cut Hairstyles 2009



Pixie Cut Hairstyles - Rihanna, Victoria Beckham... Had It!!


The pixie cut has been a big part of Hollywood’s most sensational hairstyles since the 1950’s, when Audrey Hepburn won raves for her short hairdo. The pixie was incredibly dominant in the 1960’s as well, when Twiggy, Mia Farrow and Edie Sedgwick took center stage in their boyish hairstyles.
In the 80’s Madonna adopted the look, and today beautiful stars like Natalie Portman, Victoria Beckham, Halle Berry and Rihanna can be found like incredibly sexy and cute in their little pixie curls.
2009 Spring Summer Hairstyles Edition - Victoria Beckham Pixie Cut

The key thing that these great actresses all share is great facial bone structure. Each of their noses are pointy, and their jaw lines are all very feminine and delicate. The pixie cut can work with strong and large jawbones, but delicate cheekbones are an absolute must for the style to work. The pixie cut is actually not very versatile. There is so little hair involved that if the facial structure isn’t adequate there is very little that a stylist can do to manipulate the hair. However, colors are one area where the pixie can go crazy and still look great.

Any color can be added to the pixie, depending on the audience it is intended for. Madonna designed a bleach blonde pixie that worked incredibly well, but some punk and emo colorations are a little too wild for the red carpet when combined with this look. Pink, the R&B rocker, has worn a short cut with dayglo colors, but she is part of the music scene, which is not as reliant on glamour as the cinematic world.

Teenage Boys Hairstyles 2009, 2010



Teenage Boys Hairstyles In 2010

When boys reach their teenage years, they start to realize that their appearance has a real impact on the world around them. This leads them to the world of hairstyles and clothing choices at a later time than girls, who are prepared for the decisions by the culture around them at a much earlier date. Most boys don’t take advantage of the resources available to them when they think about developing a certain hairstyle look, not wanting to be associated with fashion magazines and other styling accessories.
They do, however, have eyes that observe the world around them. They watch the musicians and movie stars, and take their cues from them. It is rare that guys are on the cutting edge of fashion in hairstyles, though. If a rock star wears an unusual hairdo, it maybe because of a sheer accident with the scissors! But let us not forget how many rockers have created incredible and popular innovations in hairstyling. Elvis had his pompadour, a Southern innovation, the Beatles had their mops (courtesy of girlfriend Astrid Kirchherr), and Johnny Rotten had his spikes. Today, teenage boys are most likely to develop their own unique looks by working with emo haircuts or through heavy metal longhair styles. When boys start to dye their hair, they often become inspired to play around and have some fun with their follicles! Given the time required to grow the long hair needed for some rock and roll hairstyles, it is simply easier to go emo or punk, with spikes, bangs, and other simple effects.

Winter Hair Colors 2009, 2010



Winter Hair Colors in 2009,2010


In the winter of 2009 you will need colors, and lots of them! The upcoming year is shaping up to be a financially stressful time, and the onset of winter will be a depressing season. You will want to dress your hair up, regardless of its length, and you will want to go with fun and frivolous tints and dyes to brighten up your look! In the cold seasons, hairstyles generally become longer and more elegant, partly because of the winter festivals that are attended and also partly for the simple functional reason that they can provide something of a warm coat for the head and shoulders!
In the foreseeable future there is no reason to expect this broad trend to go away. When we add the pressure of an economic downturn to these trends toward longer hair, we can see that there will be many reasons to expect longer styles to predominate heavily. In order to differentiate yourself from the rest of the crowd, you will need to work with colors. Tints are probably the best way to do this.
A blonde or brunette hairstyle can be made glamorous with a few carefully chosen tints. But for more fun, you may want to try something extreme. Going from blond to raven black can be a great way to stimulate a party! And the rocking Christmas parties that you attend certainly are a fine place to try out that pink and blue scene hairstyle you’ve always wondered about. In hard times, crazy colors help lift the spirits!
