How to Flat Iron your Hair

A friend of mine (who's quite a bit older) told me that when she was a teenager,
 

if they wanted their hair straightened, 

they used to lay their head on an ironing board and have someone iron their hair for them. 



She said it it worked. But it took forever, and left you with a bad kink in your neck.



Lucky for us, they've since invented the straightener.  It's easy to use and works

Four-Strand Braid with a Scarf

Here's a simple and fun twist on a four-strand braid.



This time of year,
after the holidays, you can find yourself busy with kids out of school, New Years parties, cleaning up Christmas, and on and on and on.



So I thought it only fitting to give you a quick and easy idea to enhance your regular braid. Just grab one of your scarves and an elastic and you'll look elegant in a few

Easy & Quick Up-Do for SHORT & THIN Hair

found time to enjoy family and friends and that feeling of giving that's in the air.



And if you're running to get last minute things done, you're not alone.  So here's a quick and easy do you can use anytime, or for that holiday party tonight.

Elegant Christmas Up-Do

I've heard about all the winter storms closing down the airports in different parts of the U.S.
and leaving travelers stranded.  I hope the weather will let up in time, and that despite the snow, you'll all make it home for Christmas.



There's nothing like being home for the holidays, where the traditions run deep and the feeling of family is all around.  



From our family to yours,

Candy Cane

Who can resist a candy cane?

I don't even
like candy (unless it has chocolate), 

but I LOVE candy canes.



So does Lanie.



We took the kids Christmas shopping last night to choose presents for their siblings.  Each of them had a couple dollars they had earned and saved from their cookie and lemonade stand in the fall and were eager to get gifts.  I was helping Lanie.  (I can't say what

Christmas Hairstyle: Side Swept Up-Do

Growing up, we hoped every Christmas would be a "white" one.  It  was beautiful and holiday-ish, 

but mostly we wanted to go sledding.  

Our street was on a small hill,
but you always had to move for cars coming up the road.  And our school playground had a very steep hill, but it was always crowded with other kids.

So my dad would take us and a bunch of friends on a drive to a snowy

the Simple Bow

When I was in first grade, my family moved and I changed elementary schools.  Needless to say,
I was really nervous.  



I remember my teacher paired me up with a girl who was going to be my buddy.  She was supposed to show me around and teach me all the new things I needed to know.  So the first thing she taught me was that every day she rubs the angle of her shoe to tell whether or not

Christmas Ribbon Braid

The family I grew up in is (for the most part) very musical.  Most of us by choice, the others by coercion.  
That being said,
every year at our extended family Christmas party, we were expected to do a number from singing to dancing to reciting a poem and my grandma would let us choose a treat from her Christmas tree once we'd performed.  
So we've kept up that tradition when my brothers

Wet to Set -- Christmas Rosettes Bun

Since this is the 4th Christmas hair-do we're giving you, I wish
I had a name that could go with four calling birds...but I don't.

  

Hopefully, though (because the holidays are usually so hectic and busy) you'll be pleased to know that this is a wet hairstyle and will save you a ton of time.  

So you can free up your day for shopping, wrapping, baking, decorating, helping those in

Christmas Bow

I have an aunt, Mary, who can gift wrap anything and leave it looking spectacular.  I've never seen her
give a gift without it looking like a work of art.



If she's out of cellophane, I bet she could even use a garbage sack and leave it looking beautiful. 



In fact, with her talent for decorating, she could probably wrap up what's in the garbage with a piece of cellophane, a platter,

Pretzel Crown

On the second day of Christmas...Bella brings you this hairstyle.



Every year for Christmas my mom makes
several treats which are DELICIOUS, but labor intensive, so we usually only make them at Christmas time. Besides the orange rolls, the fudge, or the caramels, one of my favorites is the chocolate-dipped pretzels.  



We use the long and fat pretzel sticks and dip them first into milk

Milk Maid Braids

We just moved from the city to the country, and I'm still in 

what I call "rural shock"!

Here's an example:


I was riding the bus to school the other day and was surprised to see cows grazing by the side of the road outside the bus window.

I pointed and said, "Hey, look. Cows!"

Their response:  "Yeah? Where do you think you moved to?"



Funny, but the milk maids by me (and I'm sure

Flower Bud Bun

Here's your double do! 

You've got a
classy and sophisticated up-do for your evening about town or day at the office (school) and when you let your hair down, you've got fun, flirty curls.

What's better than that?

4 - Strand Braid

I love braids!
(Well, actually...I just love
great hairstyles )

But braids are the queen of versatility.  You can add them to any hairstyle, or use them as a stand-alone-do.  There's no end to braiding ideas.
That's why I wanted to do a tutorial on a four-strand braid.
The finished look is so different.  It's thicker and more intricate than a three-strand braid.  
Don't throw out

Knotted Headband

When I was in first grade, I remember watching the Miss Universe pageant with my grandma. 

I was enthralled: ball gowns, beautiful contestants, an amazing talent portion. 
For a few months after I was on a real kick about being in a pageant myself when I got older (this was well before Toddlers in Tiaras.) 
Probably in an effort to get me to drop the idea, my mom asked me what my talent

Cutting Boys Hair 110 -- Clippers & Scissors

My little boy has been begging to be on the blog. 

So the other day I asked him:
"What hairstyles could we do on your hair, bud?"

Him: "Anything.  You could do Darth Maul's spikes, a mohawk, a jump. Mom...everyone at my school wants Darth Maul spikes."

Me: "They do? How come?"

"So you can poke people at recess."

Until we work up a video on Darth Maul's spikes, I hope you enjoy this

Looped Rope Twists

So my mom has this problem with speaking clearly, or even in English, when she's in a hurry.
When she needs us to quickly do something,
the kitchen becomes either the living kitchen or the kiving kiv. A plate can be a ping-pang, the couch -- fif nac, and my name becomes Darrin. Don't ask me why. Bella doesn't rhyme with Darrin, I don't even know any Darrins. But that's the first name she

Red carpet: Kristen Stewart looks at the 'Breaking Dawn Part 2' premieres

Hey guys! I've been following the events that have been happening in the past few weeks and one of them in the wold premiere of the last epic ending of 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2'. I haven't watched it still, but I will soon. Untill that, here's the total roundup from all of the looks that Kristen wore at the premieres in L.A, London, Madrid and Berlin.

First, there's the picutre from the L.A. premiere and she looked so divine. With that transparent nude lace that creates that certan look,  and with the makeup she was so elegant that i can't even. But, enought about that.

The second pic is a very bold look. I liked that she goes a little bold in fashion. Anyway that nice transparent black laced overall is very nice. Feminine. I liked it!

Okay, so the next dress is from the Madrid premiere and is much less elegant than the other dresses. But that is a very flirty, summer dress in the color - fluorescent yellow, and we can's forget the heels. They are like a big finishing touch to the look and breaking all the yellow.

At the end there's the beautiful gold dress (wich is my favorite) at the Berlin premiere. I just love the way the dress looks on her, and the beautiful gold makeup, made her look fawless.  But which one of these is your favorite? 

Thanksgiving Hairstyle -- Turkey's Tail

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our great readers!
We are so thankful for all of your loyal reader-ship.

I come from a large family, and we didn't grow up with a lot of money, but my parents always made the holidays special.
We had a ping-pong table that my dad had made out of two 4x8 sheets of particle board that he'd sanded and painted green, and then used masking tape to mark the

Have you ever been to a How To Host A Murder Party?

My husband and I have been to a few over the years.  We've gone as a retired baseball star and a lady of the evening in Chicago's underground, Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. 


And you know my love for creating and making costumes. So when my brother had to go to one, I even sewed him a full suit of gold lamé fabric.  He looked like Rod

Embellished Bobby Pins

So I always have my eye out for hair accessories of every kind.
Sometimes I'll buy them. But I'm such a craft-lover at heart, that I'd usually rather make them. That way I have the fun of making them, the fun of wearing them, and they typically cost around 1/5 of the price.
You can't beat that!

With these embellished bobby pins I wanted something elegant, but small, so you could accent

Red Carpet: MTV EMA 2012

Hey! I haven't posted for a while... sorry for that. But, as you already know, something really amazing is happening right now as I'm writing this post. Yeah, that's right - the 2012 MTV European Awards! Follow everything live now right here! And stay tuned with everything by going to tv.mtvema.com! Heidi Klum, I have to say looks so beautiful! I'm so excited! So here are my top 4 red carpet looks from this year's EMA:

The first look is from the gorgeous Taylor Swift, who looked absolutely enchanting in this haute couture J. Mendel dress. Her whole look was so elegant and feminine, just the words to describe her personality. So, I think she deserved the Best Look award, because she really looked  gorgeous. Nice work Taylor!

Next, there's the uprising star Rita Ora. She looked so different from all the girls on the red carpet in this Marchesa dress. And I really liked it, so cute and has elegance. Gorgeous combination! Rita really did her homework! 

Also another uprising star, the inevitable Lana Del Rey. She had so much class in that simple blue silk dress. Absolutely divine and simple. Very good for your first EMAs!

 And last, but not the least, the super mom Alicia Keys. Also keeping it simple in this beautiful Stella McCartney dress. Nice accessories and makeup, and all in all a great combination! Don't forget her fire preformance at the EMAs, she really was the girl on fire! 

Who was your favorite? 

French Crown with Feathers

I love the holiday season.
Fall's almost entirely gone.

Barrel Curling Short Hair

I have fallen in LOVE with this
 hairstyle.



It's so EASY

It's so FAST

And it's ADORABLE



What's not to love?



If you don't have a curling wand, you can still do this hairstyle with a regular curling iron.  You just simply roll the hair around the iron without pinching it inside the clamp.  I went for a long time without a wand and just used a curling iron, but the wands get so much

Double Bohemian Twist

My family has been babysitting my 10 month old cousin this week.  He's the cutest little
thing with his big smile and tiny dimples.  But he's got a thing for hair.



I know, because he keeps pulling mine whenever I'm not paying attention.



I had styled this double bohemian twist in my hair today and was lying on the floor innocently reading, when he crawled up behind me, grabbed onto my

How to do a Snake Braid

Are you afraid of snakes?

I remember the scene
in the 3rd Indiana Jones movie when young Indi falls into the train full of them.

He's totally freaked out!



That's how I'd be if I came across a snake, but my brother is the biggest snake catcher I've every met.

He's always digging under rocks and near lakes for any snake he can play with.  He even bought a whip a few years ago (not to

Cutting Boys Hair 101

Learning to cut your boys' hair is EASY and will save you tons of $$$$$$




All it takes is a set of clippers from your local beauty supply store.  They start at about $25 and last for years.  It's nearly fool proof!  I say nearly, because it is fairly easy to learn, but there is one caveat...



You have to pay attention.



That seems simple, but a long time ago (before I'd honed my

Braided Headband with Celebrity Ponytail

Have you seen the old Superman movies with Christopher Reeve?
 

They're classics.



I loved how he appeared so nerdy as Clark Kent, and then in seconds, he'd come bursting out of a phone booth as a super babe.



That's like this hair-do.  You can go from no style, to glamorous in minutes.

Jack O' Lantern Bun

This is our last Halloween hairstyle for the year....and it's a nostalgic one for me.



Because the first Halloween
costume I really remember from my childhood was in Kindergarten, when I dressed as a Jack O' Lantern.  

My dad had sewn me a giant pumpkin suit that went from my neck to my thighs.  It had a big Jack O' Lantern face on the front, and my mom had painted a matching one on my

We went to a Halloween Carnival last night.

There were carnival games for the kids and 

a "Trunk-or-Treat" afterwards.


While I was taking the kids around, my husband was manning our trunk for Trick-or-Treaters.  When it was over, he handed me a nearly empty bag of candy.

"What happened to all the candy?" I asked.  "I bought a ton."


My husband gave me a sheepish look.  "Every time a

Ponytail -- Ghost Style

I have such fond memories of Halloween as a child.  And a big part of that excitement was planning the costumes. 


My mom could sew, but it was my dad who always made our costumes.  He could make anything we dreamed up, from a perfect replica of the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid, to Wonder Woman's American flag costume including a gold boomerang headband and bullet-deflecting wrist

Bohemian Twist with a Rope Twist

So every year around this time, my mom takes us window shopping to a few different stores.  We can't ever

buy anything.  It's just so she can see our eyes light up, and our ooh's and aah's over certain toys we see.  Then she keeps the ideas in mind when she's shopping online.  

Well today I saw the CUTEST Frosty the Snowman, ever!  And he reminded me of the Frosty I got for one of my

Rope Twisted Flower Bun

I see trees of green...red roses too

I see 'em bloom...

And I think to myself...what a wonderful world



That's how I feel when I wear this Flower Bun, like I've got one of nature's perfect creations blossoming from my head. 

It's so simple, but comes out looking as unique as a rare flower.



I do explain how to rope braid in this video, but here's a link to the basics on

Lace Braid

If this braid were not already referred to as a "Lace Braid", 

I'd call it the "Friendship braid".


Because it's the do I'm always styling on them. 



My friends, my cousins, even my aunts ask me to play with their hair and show them new styles to try. 

And I often go for this one.

It's simple, but looks really cool. So I always pull it out for the new look to show them and it's a hit

French Braided Spider's Web

You can dress it up with a few plastic spiders for even more fun 

or just wear it with a bow.

Side-Swept Looped Fish Tail

When I was a little girl, we had an annual vacation/adventure to Mexico with my family,
my grandparents and my aunt and uncle's families.  But it wasn't the glamorous 5-star beach resort you may be picturing...instead, my dad would load up our camper and we'd drive to Mexico. 

The drive would take days, but it was part of the fun.  We'd listen to our old battery-powered cassette player and

Inspiration/ Ebba Zingmark

Okay, first I probably have to write a huge alpology letter to all of my folowers who have waited this long for a post. I'm really sorry, but, school started and I've been busy (sorry, I always say that, but It's true). There's a lack of new tutorials so when I find one new I promise, I will post it right away. Untill then I think I should make this blog a little more personal, and post things like my new fashion inspirations. There are some amazing people all around the wold! And this girl is just the  beggining. But, these kinds of posts won't be posted like, all the time, just once a month (maybe). Take a look at these gorgeous girl and her amazing & original fashion sense:

EBBA ZINGMARK 

She's a 16 year old girl from a little town in northern Sweden. And besides being a student she's also working as a fashion blogger at the swedish fashion-site modette.se. Visit it here. I love her blog because she is fearless when it comes to showing her style and she shows her complete personality throught her blog. Every post is well thought and I love to read them. She always creates original wearable combinations that I have never thought it could be put together! She is really talented!

“At most I get my inspiration from my friends and people around me, and because the styles of the persons who inspires me is very varieted my own style gets very mixed. I love looking a little bit fairytale, but still in an edgy way” – Ebba

The Clothes-line Bow

We personally have a dryer at our house for laundry, but when I visit my grandma's in the summertime, she uses an old fashioned clothes-line.
 

She has it strung up on the side of her house complete with an embroidered bag that holds the clothes pins.  On those hot summer days, it can get pretty full with wet towels and swimming suits from my cousins and me trying to stay cool.  

Braided Ribbon Headband

My grandmother spent several years living in Germany during the 1960's.  While she was there,
she tried to collect a small doll from each European country she was able to visit.  When she returned to the U.S., she kept her doll collection on display in a glass case.  And when I was a little girl, it was one of the highlights of visiting her home.  

I loved staring at the dolls.  And I had

Slicked Back Hair

Well if you ever wondered how to make this very slicked hairstyle here's a tutorial from Love Aesthetics. The blogger, Ivania Caprio, has that unusuall style that shines on her personality. That's why I love her blog, it's so beautiful, and represents the minimalicstic lifestyle. And so is this hairstyle. I only saw it on runways last year (but they're coming back this year too! Only in sleak ponytails, buns and more...). Learn how to make it:

Beachy Waves, Kristen Stewart Way

Hey everyone, sorry for not posting anything for these few days. I guess I'm feeling a little uninspired.... but I think I'm getting back my inspiration with the amazing beachy waves that are Kristen Stewart's signature look. They look so youthful, fun and intentionally made to look "undone". Kristen is one of my favorite actresses, and I just love her style in general. So when my hair grows back, I'm definitely gonna try it!

This is Kristen for the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. These beautiful messy, sexy waves will never get old, and they're so easy to make! Take a look at this video:

Kristen Stewart chose the 2011 MTV Movie Awards to showcase no fuss no muss hairstyle. And she did it well, combined with the red safety pin custom made Balmain dress. To recreate Kristen's low-key yet sexy spent-the-day-at-the-beach waves, here is the tutorial:

Fekkai Celebrity Stylist Adir Abergel created a raw rock and roll style for Kristen. So, Abergel started by applying the Fekkai Advanced Full Blown Volume Styling Whip throughout and rough dried the hair. Once dried, he re-applied the Fekkai Advanced Full Blown Volume Styling Whip and re-dried the hair to create a natural wave. He then backcombed the hair from roots to ends spraying Fekkai Coiff Sheer Hold Hairspray and slightly ironed the hair. Finally, he brushed the hair to form the texture of the hair.

All products by Fekkai: Advanced Full Blown Volume Styling Whip ($23) and Fekkai Coiff Sheer Hold Hairspray ($24). Available at Fekkai.com and Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue stores.

As she walked in the red carpet during the recent 2012 MTV Movie Awards, you can’t help but love her in her quirky lime and silver mini-dress, and of course, her signature wild tousles that a lot of girls would kill to achieve. She was all rock glam, and gorgeous! Here's an no-heat tutorial: 

Wash your hair with a shampoo and conditioner (do not comb it but do brush it before washing). Let it air-dry for a while until it becomes a little damp. Work on some volumizing mousse through your hair to give it more body as well as a natural look when it dries up. Part your hair into four sections. Using scrunchies, twist the first section round and round, and as tight as you want them. Loose twists mean loose curls. Clip it up to a bun. Then, do the same thing with the rest of the sections. Leave the buns on for 1–2 hours, and then let them loose. Flip over your head and scrunch your hair with your hands to give it body and definition.

To achieve the side-sweep part, drag one section of your hair to the other side and secure them with bobby pins. For the finishing touch, finger-comb it or use some cream or spray to get rid of the unruly ones. The messier the better, good luck! 

Glamorous Up-do

I've always loved these kinds of updos, like beehives. They look so glamorous and vintage, and if it sometimes ends up looking messy, you can't make a mistake, messy updos/beehives look amazing! And the deep slide gave it a chic touch and with that finishend the look. I just wish I had all that hair to experiment with these kinds of hairstyles... well I can only wait. Visit Bobby Glam for the original tutorial. 

 You need to section your hair off to fit the hair booty, leaving enough hair to cover the it. You can backcomb the roots of your hair if you are looking for an extra volume lift for this style. You can get the deep slide by parting your hair so it is in line with the arch of your eyebrow. Once you have sectioned off your side parting, secure in place with bobby pins. 

Next you need to section your hair into two different sections. Using the end of your comb, begin from the top of your ear and work around your head to create a neat parting which separates your hair into two sections. Neatly tie the top section of your hair into a ponytail using your hair band to ensure it stays put. Now it’s time for the styling of the hair left down! It's always nice to add some extra flicks to the ends to get the retro vibe. 

You basically straighten your hair until you get to the ends where you turn your wrist and flick the iron up. Spritz all over with hairspray and neaten up any fly-aways. Easy! 

Ashley Benson's Loose Curls/Apreciacion Post

Wow, 40,124 views are mind-blowing!! And I've got to thank my amazing 40 followers, for following and reading! This blog started just as an idea, nothing more. Then when I made it, and started posting, it was really boring, there was no one to even view it. But, I don't know why, I never stopped writing and posting... that led to me desinig my blog for the first time. I liked it, and so my blog kinda lived up. And look at it now, I could never imagine that happening, so thank you!

And to show you my apreciacion, here's an amazing tutorial. I was getting requests to post an medium length hair tutorial. I was thinking that curls look great on that length. Sure, all of you are familiar with the Pretty Little Liars series. I fel in love with Hanna's curls. They have that beachy, summery look, and it's easy to achieve! I love it! For extra tips and products that could help you with the look click here!

Hair Extensions for Beginners

Well yes hair extensions! They can be very helpful when it comes to styling. It's actually very obvious why they're so important. The hair it's self is human, and of the best quality, so it's also very important to find a great quality hair extention clips. Why clips? Well they're the easiest to insert. I recommend HeadKandy extensions because the set comes with a lot of hair. Which is great if you want a real natural look.

I've learned all that in the Hair Extention for Beginners post from the amazing blog named WhishWhishWhish.

The colour is the least of the problem. You can always email the team and they would recommend you the colour that might fit you the best. So no worries about that. Insering them is very simple too, and even if you don't really get it this time, you can always check some videos. After some practice, if your hair colour is not completely matching the hair extensions colour, learn how to blend it all out! 

To put them in, you simply part your hair, clip up a section, backcomb at the roots slightly so the clips have something to grip, and clip away! There is a guide that comes with your extensions that tells you exactly where to put which section of hair, and each section is also numbered in the order you insert them too.

It all just takes a little practice. Do you use hair extensions?

Loose Floral Updo

Effortlessly romantic, this simple twist is easy, versatile, and irresistibly femminine. Wear it loose and tousled for a bohemian effect. Floral headbans like this one, are so beautiful and always welcome on weddings. Katie from Skunkboy blog did this hair tutorilal on Etsy, Bridal Beauty, and I must say that this combination with a loose twist bun goes perfect with the flowers. Try it out!

Gather the hair on the top of your hair (where you want the bump to be) snd tease it. Take the hair and smooth the top and gather the sides. Start twisting the section of the hair into a half bun. continue twisting to make a bun. Pin everything in place and add a touch of flowers, lace, bows or whatever you like! 

Ponytail Twist

How often do you wear ponytails? They're so cute and there's nothing more trendy when you spice it up a little bit. The hair is very vital part with your everyday look. It can tell exactly how much you take care of it. And when you srtyle it, it can give a completly different look. So if you're looking for some great ways to spice up your hair, try this amazing 5min. tutorial from A Cup Of Jo.

Split your hair into two sections, straight down the back, but off center, about 3/4. You want one large section, and then one smaller section that's about an inch or two away from your ear. Than take the larger section and make a ponytail, securing tightly with a rubber band. Twist the smaller section AWAY from your face. Make the twist as tight as you can, so it doesn't become too loose later on. After that, wrap the twisted section over the top of the ponytail and around to the bottom. Pin the twisted wrap in place. After you've secured the twist with enough pins, let it untwist and blend in with the rest of your ponytail. Done and done! SO easy!

Summer Nights/Floral Hair Tutorial

This tutorial is very girly and femmene, perfect way to combine braids and flowers. To be presice, the cute small wildflowers. It's simple, using the overlapping technique, and the basic braid, you can get this look in no time! Thanks again to Sincerely, Kinsey for sharing this amazing tutorial.

Preparation: You can curl your hair a day before, just so it will be easy to work with it. You'll need bobby pins and wildflowers (real or faux). Ok, start with your hair down. Begin with a small strand from each side of your head, close to your ear, warp it around to the opposite side and pin it (like in this tutorial). Repeat the process ntill you get the look from the fourth picture. After that, create a semi-loose braid with the best of your hair. Lastly, add flowers throughout your braid! 

Have a nice day friends! 

Perfect Top Knot

There's nothing more atractive than a beautiful messy top knot. If you're running late on a date, or something, there's an easy technique to achieve. It's most known as the french twist. Or a knot, I'm not sure.Take a try on this amazing hair tutorial from A Cup Of Jo, that will blow you away. Would you ever wear your hair into a knot?

"1-2. Start putting your hair into a high ponytail, but don't pull the hair all the way through the rubber band. You want to end up with a little loop on top with some hair left over at the bottom. (By the way, I love doing a top knot on hair that isn't combed through, so I use my fingers to get my hair into place; that way, keeps some of the imperfect lumps and bumps. If you prefer a more polished look, you can comb your hair into a sleeker ponytail.) Tip: If your hair isn't quite long enough to get a top knot, you can also wear the knot lower down on your head.

3. Take the section of hair that's free from the rubber band and twist it.

4. Take the twist and wrap it around the base of the little loop of hair you created. If you have long hair, you may need to wrap it more than once. If you are wrapping it a few times, do it loosely…you don't want it too tight and rigid.

5-6. Use bobby pins to pin the bun in place. I like to secure my bun with four pins: one in the front, one in the back and one on either side. You may have to use more if you have thicker hair. I've also found that "U" shaped pins work better to hold thicker hair. These specific pins are great because they have a rubberized texture that helps grip hair." 

Get The Look: Taylor Swift

Hey everyone! Lately I've been thinking about adding something new and fresh to my blog, like a new column. Or something like that. And in the same time share with you my celebrity style icons and their amazing closet. So whenever I feel like writing, I can always turn to a little research and celebrities.
First on my list is the amazing Taylor Swift. I will be honest, I rescently became a fan of hers, well more a fan of her style. Maybe because of her new hairstyle. Those bangs really gave her a little more sophisticated look. And It suits her perfectly. And almost everything she wears is perfect for everyday wear.

On the right side you can see a very simple but chic combination of a basic white shirt, and black pants with very small dots on it. I also like the cute cardigan. It's risky to wear a cardigan with such a formal look, but the awesome Ray-Bans gave it a completely different outlook. 

shirt: MISS SELFRIDGE

pants: GENERAL PANTS

bag: LAUREN MERKIN STEVIE SATCHEL

On the left side you can see a very navy combination with red jeans. Again with the Ray-Bans, but I just love it. This is a perfect everyday style that suits everyone, and it's very easy to achieve.

When I see this look it reminds me of London. I don't know why, honestly. However I really seem to like it even thought I'm not a big fan of wearing yellow or that navy blue as a color. But, Taylor did a great job there! 

sweater: RALPH LAUREN

skirt: SHANNON SKIRT BY MOTEL

Sooo this is the look I definitely love the most. It's a stylish and casual. Red lipstick looks great with the whole combination, and Ray-Bans also. It's really Manhattan, without much effort. The vintage sunglasses in a cat eye shape gives it just enough glam and fills the look. Not much, but beautiful.

Taylor is promoting her new single and new album 'Red' that's coming out this October and I can't be more excited! This is another chic & basic look styled with a red lipstick and Ray-Bans. Vintage, and always IN, Taylor keeps surprising people with her own sense of style. She is original, and that's what I love about her.

Quick Twisted Buns

Well since I have my not-so-new short hairstyle for a while now, I'm starrting to miss my long hair... Don't get me wrong, I like my short hair, bu sometimes I miss the freedom of trying all kinds of hairstyles. So, A Beautifull Mess maybe heard me, and made a post about four quick and easy hair tutorials for short hair. They are pretty good, so go and check them out here! This only one of them:

Separate your hair into three ponytails. Then twist the pony into small a bun and secure with bobby pins. Continue like that untill you finish the look! And done! 

Double Braid

This is not a two braids into one hair tutorial, well actually it will just look like that. But, it's not hard at all, trust me. During the summertime it's nice to take out your ripped up denim shorts and a cute top with a tomboy denim shirt. And try this cute hairstyle! I've found this tutorial on Sincerely, Kinsey and I'm really starrting to love that blog. This beautiful hair tutorial is quick and it looks great with everything.

Preparation: a small rubber band hair tie, a few bobby pins.

Begin with your hair down. Take a section of yor hair from the thicker side of your hair, and braid all the way down. It will lie flat on your head best if you angle it back as you're braiding it. Next, slightly tug all along the braid, to make it look thicker. One the braid is done, pin it on the back far side of your head underneath the top layers of your hair, covering the bobby pin. After that braid the rest your hair into a side braid. Do the same thing like with the frirst braid, tug it all the way down. If the wind isin't cooperating, take a few spritz of hairspray to keep it in place.

Happy Wednesday friedns! 

Ombre Hair Is Back

Most of you would say "Oh please, that's so last year's hairstyle", but I don't think so. Well yes it was a trend one or two years ago, but it's back! After the big pastel hair hit for summer, it became the new hair trend for this Autumn 2012 collection (my source - British Vouge). There are so many types of ombre hair, but I'm thinking on brown to pale blonde ends (I prefer that look better) or you can just play with colours. A whole host of colour combinations were on show at Prada.

A lot of women ask what to tell their hairdresser so they could get the look that ther're asking for. The answer is very simple, just show them a picture and they'll know exactly what to do. But if you really don't  have any money, you can go and try to find some online tutorials for a DIY ombre hair look. I've alredy searched a little bit, and found a great tutorial also on Zoella - DIY Ombre Hair. Tell me what you think! 

The Perfect Holiday Hair

Here is a little secret technique for perfect holiday hair. I just love it! It looks cute and perfectly undone, and in the same time just enough. All the credits go to A Beautiful Mess, and amazing Katie. Thank you for shairng! You may think that she used a curler on the third picture, but it's actually a piece of thick fabric. It's been folded one or two times. The fabric she used was 4.5x4.5 inches and dubled over.

Start by gathering a section of hair from the top of your head. Tease it to add some textue and volume. Take the piece of fabric (already folded) and warp the hair around it like a curler. Continue rolling the hair untill you reach the scalp. Pin in place. After that, add some random braids just to add a little character.

You can add some hair accessories, just to fill the look. And done!
