Faboulous hair: Braided buns


The hairstyle that got my eye, is braided bun....
"This style says I'm not afraid to take a risk and show both sides of my personality--the classic and the creative! By taking the staple bun and giving it a bohemian twist, you can't help but end up with a head-turning style that is downtown cool," says celebrity stylist and Sunsilk Co-Creator Teddy Charles.
How to do a braided bun on your own: 
  • Start with naturally textured hair. Rake your hands through your hair with Sunsilk Hydra TLC Creme to smooth frizzies and give hair that piece-y, textured look.
  • Separate the hair into three sections, almost as if you are making three pigtails--one in the back of the head and one on each side of the head. Take the back section and secure it with a hair elastic in a low ponytail. Twist the hair to make a bun and secure in place with a few hidden bobby pins.
  • Take one of the side pigtails and loosely braid it. Secure with a clear hair elastic. Repeat this step with the final pigtail. Take one the braids & extend it back--wrapping it around the secured bun--pin the end of the braid in place with a few bobby pins. Repeat this step with the other braid.
  • Pull a few face-framing wisps out in the front. Depending on the length of your hair, a few little hairs in the braids might pop out--this is ok! It's summer time and ok to look a little purposefully disheveled.

There are many reasons for trying a new hairstyle. Maybe you're sitting in front of the mirror getting ready to go out, and you just can't decide what to do with your hair that you haven't done a hundred and two times before. Try the Braided bun, its a killer do, dinner, a night of dancing, a day at the office

Kelis...you're making me worried


Kelis is always fierce, what she wears, her makeup, jewelry.... but lately her choice in attire leaves me awed..should we be worried? Does this have anything to do with the divorce or are these just bad pictures? whatever it is someone needs to slap the fashion sense back into her... the color coordination, the hair, the jewelry, everything is off!

This was April, when she wore only lace, the horror !...i prayed for her that night..

Jumpsuit Era


When you chose to follow trends, you must also keep in mind that the trend u wear suits you the way it should, I've seen so many beautiful jumpsuits and playuit worn all wrong and it scares me!! Honest! it makes me think, such lovly attire worn so wrong! Jumpsuits are supposed to look fabulous not scary!



Some guidelines i gathered to help you rock this trend more fiercly,
* Belting the Jumpsuit/Playsuit high up around the waist gives the effect of curves and is particularly effective for skinny frames which lack them. It is also a good idea to use belts to break up the top and bottom half, giving some separation to the all-in-one” outfit.


    * Look for statement versions this year which have all the on trend detailling; we are thinking pleats and ruffles, whilst there are a few more asymmetric cut styles available this year as well. If you are going to purchase an embellished version to really make a statement, make sure you pair it with more muted accessories in order to keep the outfit understated instead of in your face.

    * If you are high street shopping then don’t be put off jumpsuits when you see a shapeless mess on the hanger. These are definitely items which look better on, and when you fill it your outfit will suddenly come to life.
    * If you are worried about your bum or the back of your outfit in general why not pair your jumpsuit/playsuit with a long line cardigan which will give you more confidence when stepping out.



*  If you have curves or are body conscious then go for a halter jumpsuit belted in firmly at the waist in order to give you that womanly shape. Obviosuly sexy black numbers will keep your look sexy and chic, but also help you appear slimmer.


    * Shorter women should wear with ultra-tall heels in order to cancel out the “frump factor”. Shorter length playsuits will also suit your petite frame better as it will show more leg and give the appereance of length when matched with heels.


    * Sporty drawstring details add definition to the look whilst also allowing you to hit the whole Sports Luxe trend which is massive this year.

    * Inject a touch of glamour with sequinned separates such as short cardigans or shawls which will draw attention to your outfit.

And lastly, jumpsuits look good on people of all sizes! There are no restrictions...


So use the little fashion wisdom i give well, go now...dress like a star
