Modern Vintage Look

noreply@blogger.com (FiY) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 08:00:06 PST

Go for a 3 colour tone stacked bangle as one of the simple accessories. The resin bangle of black, gold and white creating a chic stacked effect. As for head accessories Cream colour knitted and embellished beanie is one of the trend to go with. Feeling hot wearing a hat? You can match with a Korean style thin hairband with huge petals.
Being tall always giving you the extra confidence. Pick a closed toe black suede stiletto pump like Giuseppe Zanotti, with leather sole and an ankle strap design for the elegance features. Not comfortable with stiletto? Head for a flat instead. From oxford shoes or even a leather blucher is another option. Reviewing the patent leather blucher from Zara in skin colour which is easy to clean and maintain for a shinning feel (reflection of the antic leather).
Vintage inspired is from the panel collar (aka peter pan collar) and the lacy sheer that comes with extreme contrast colour of black and white, as if it was the black and white ere *wink wink*. Pair it up with a plain colour blazer with some details that is not exaggerating. Featuring Emanuel Ungaro's blush cady-silk jacket with black lace anchors at the side of the pleated lapels. For a glimpse of a more retro style, pick up another wool cloque corset jacket with lace overlay. However, match with this if your sheer is plain and not too much lace to avoid overdoing the look!
For the bottom, go for the third colour - beige! Pleated cotton skirt from Carven has desinged 2 hidden hip pockets and has satin lining and the closure at the rear. Alternatively, a stretchable high waist pleated skirt also able to match it up with the look. To be a trendy-chic, the sumptuous suede tote is perfectly match with any look from casual, to sporty and even chic. Featuring Dianve Von Furstenberg bag, there is 2 gold silver tone chain and leather shoulder straps over the shoulder rests.

Back To School Look

BBBBBbbbbbbbrrrroooooommmmmm~Time flies, and now those who is working ... as usual day, need to work and for those who is on semester break/holiday break, is time to study. Time for a uni/college/student weekend look.
Theme of the look is all about back to student look, comfy and light to go. If you are often in an air-conditional environment, do consider matching with a bold designed loose cardigan. The cozy cable-knit design and the bat-wing sleeve cardi is a piece from Vince. This can be paired with a multicolour plaid printed georgette/tank.

Pair it up with a cotton-canvas high waist shorts. Reviewing YSL vintage inspired short, it has slanted sige pockets with concealed zip and hook at the side. If you are working, match it up with a black slack instead.

Share your bag's weight by selecting backpack with water buckle drawstring design and adjustable straps. Creating a chic look with the Row covertable taupe leather backpack.
Done with all the party with pump and heels, now what is needed is a flat sneaker. Like the simple design of back-folded panel with buckle, Belstaff 'Jair' Trainer sneaker, plain light brown with flat rubber sole is a easy going sneaker and also suitable for distance walking.

Don't Mess With Your Hair! Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (FiY) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 10:37:01 PST

*Continue from previous article by Erica Metzger on bad hair styling habits to be avoid in order to have gorgeous hair!

Photo credited to http://www.newfashionfantasy.com

Applying Product to Dry Hair

"Your hair is the most responsive to styling when it's freshly washed or rinsed," says New York City stylist Damian Monzillo. It's also easier to distribute product evenly throughout wet hair. (The exceptions to this rule are heat-protecting sprays, which you should apply to dry hair before you use hot tools, and finishing products like hair spray and pomades.)

Overdosing on Gel or Mousse

Practice portion control so your hair doesn't end up looking flat, greasy, or shellacked. "If you have shoulder-length hair you only need a nickel-size amount of styling cream or gel, a dime-size amount of serum, or a shot glass of mousse," says Becker Chicaiza, a salon owner in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Using the Wrong Products

Make sure to match your styling product to your hair texture. Root-boosting spray plumps up fine, thin hair without dragging it down; if you have medium-thick hair, you need a heavier spray gel or mousse to firm and lift the roots. When it comes to smoothing, a light serum is plenty for taming fine, frizzy hair. Thicker, coarser hair needs extra hydration and shine, so use a combination of serum and cream, says Abbey. Got curls? Curl-enhancing sprays work well for delicate tendrils while richer creams help control denser, kinkier spirals.

Not Allowing Hair to Set

Want your style to last? Then take the time to let your hair cool after applying heat from a dryer or iron. "You ruin your work when you brush through a warm curl or release the round-brush when your hair is still hot," says Kevin Mancuso, Nexxus creative director. Bonus tip: Velcro rollers add extra body and smoothness to your style but you need to leave them in for at least 10 minutes.

Horsing Around with Your Ponytail

Bad ponytail habits -- such as using rubber bands or elastics with metal clasps, pulling back wet hair and tying your tail too tight -- lead to broken strands. Keep your hair healthy by drying it first and prepping it with a little styling cream, says Chicaiza. And stick to snag-free elastics

Don't Mess With Your Hair! Part 1

noreply@blogger.com (FiY) — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 10:37:22 PST

Ever wonder what happens to your hair?Why is it so dry? Rough? Split end etc?

Do you have such hair styling habits that is ruining your hair without your notice?? Sharing with you an article by Erica Metzgernbsp on hair styling tips!

Photo credited to http://blog.hercatwalk.com/beauty-spot/hair-mistakes-women-make What are you waiting for? Reform your bad hair-styling habits, be cautious and fret not, the gorgeous hair will be yours!

Skipping Regular Haircuts

Maintain your 'do to make your life easier. "Haircuts have a shelf life of four to eight weeks before they start to lose shape and become harder to style," says Lisa Abbey, creative director of Salon Blue, in Mineola, New York.

Working with Too Much Hair at Once

Spend an afternoon at a salon and you'll notice that the pros always use hair clips to divide and conquer a big styling job. The reason? It lets you concentrate the heat of your dryer or flatiron on one small section at a time. At home, split your hair into three horizontal layers. Pin the top and middle sections back with clips and work your way from the bottom up. Complete each section before moving on to the next, but if you're in a hurry, spend more time styling the front and cheat a little in the back.

Forgetting Your Roots

If you pay more attention to your roots when you apply product and dry your hair, you'll have more control over volume. Want more body? Then pull your hair up and out when drying, says Abbey. Want less? Pull your hair straight down to smooth and flatten the root. Treating your roots also saves your ends -- the oldest and driest part of your hair -- from excess heat damage.

Frying Your Strands

Use the low or medium heat settings on your styling tools. "Only extremely coarse or curly hair can handle the highest temperatures," says Marc Mena, senior stylist at Warren-Tricomi Salon, in New York City. Other ways to protect your hair: Mist with a thermal styling spray, use a nozzle or diffuser attachment to disperse air flow, and don't concentrate the heat in one spot for too long.

Using the Wrong Size Brush

Many women use a round brush that's too small, says Umberto Savone, a celebrity stylist based in Beverly Hills, California. A small brush with a 1-inch-diameter barrel works best for chin-length hair, shorter layers, or if you want to add extra bounce to very fine hair. Medium to large brushes -- 2- to 3-inch barrels -- are better for longer hair and help you create loose, natural waves or straight, smooth styles.
