LADY CRUSH

We are all guilty of having a celebrity crush.  Whether we like to admit it or not.  My crush of the moment is miss Cara Delevingne.  Her style screams attitude and confidence.  A sort of simplified/ladylike grunge.  She definitely seems to have an aesthetic of her own, which is incredibly alluring.  It’s a complete package.  It is important to develop a look of your own but I love getting inspiration from other people.  Here are a few of my favourite looks of hers…

Who doesn’t love a burger every now and then?  If only we could all look as good as she does while chowing down on one…  But hey, nice nails!

magic monday – luscious lady locks

As someone who wishes she woke up with sultry, bombshell hair à la Lana Del Rey, but isn’t willing to spend more than half an hour getting ready … I’ve made a new best friend. Hot Rollers.

Flowers in your hair

With weddings, grads and a butt load of summer functions coming up, flowers are a natural way to change it up!  You can pin one in on the side, or fashion a nifty crown.  Any floral accent will translate to so much more.

For crowns, you’ll need thin long stemmed wild flowers that are pliable and easy to twist up.  Bits of twigs and berries are a nice touch as well.  The type of event will dictate the type of flower to use to help accentuate your look.  You may not wear a flower crown as a guest to a wedding, but maybe at a gathering at the lake…  A cluster of roses may work nice in an up do for grad, but not as well to a baby shower…

The type of hair you have will also help you make a decision as to what plant you would place in your hair.  As simple as it is, it’s that simple!  Light haired ladies need light weight flowers. Thick haired gals can wear any type because thicker hair can support a thicker or sturdier flower (as well as lighter types).   As you guessed, I would advise you to chat with your stylist about some fun things you could do with your hair this upcoming summer season.  Check out oak & lily sometime and see what they might recommend.  Give it a try, that’s the fresh perspective…

the fresh perspective…

Change.  It.  Up.

What’s new in your life lately?  New car?  New spring kits?  New hair?  It’s funny, out of all the people who sit in my chair day in and out, I still get a wee tingle when someone comes in and wants a totally NEW do!  First I get a little nervous, and then immediately excited!  When’s the last time you did something completely different?

“TOP TWO”

MAKEUP    l    HAIR    l    NAILS

trends for spring 2013.

Whether you’re a magazine reader, or fashion blog follower (like myself)…you’ve probably been inundated with “top trends” for the coming spring season.  Which, is hopefully here sooner than later!  As much a “Winnipeger” as I am, I can only handle the snow for so long…

That being said, I’ve been searching the web day&night for some spring fashion inspiration.  Hair, makeup and nails all play an equal part in your overall look.  Here’s my top two in each category.

MAKEUP

dark glamour

Deep and rich shades, like bordeaux, on the lips seems to have been trending for a little while now. But I am still IN LOVE with this look. Who says we have to only wear these kind of shades in the fall? I say we can totally carry them into spring…

Kevin Murphy Rinses

Time for a product review folks!  I know, I know, we love Kevin Murphy and it’s obvious, but it’s also because it’s sooooo good.  All of their shampoos come with rinses NOT conditioners.  This is a unique feature available only to Kevin Murphy users.  Simple concept.  You wash your hair, then you rinse it and condition your hair, then you rinse that out.  What?  What was the point of conditioning your hair just to rinse out the conditioner?  You might as well have just dumped your condish down the drain.

the fresh perspective…

Have you started thinking about spring yet?  I know that I have.  I am ready and waiting for the warm sun, I’m waiting for the smell of BBQ, I’m ready for tank tops.  Now that February is almost over, although we still have some more months of snow, we shouldn’t forget about the status of our hair/skin/nails during the time of changing seasons.
