Grown-Up Hair Accessory Challenge

venerdì, 11 dicembre 2009

Dear Daddy Likey,

I recently cut my hair very short, and I like wearing clips and headbands in it (because it’s fun and also so people know I’m not a boy). Here’s the problem — most of what’s out there for “hair fancies” can be a little juvenile. This is not to say I don’t love a good bow or flower because, believe me, I do, and I’ve got plenty. But now I’m looking for some accessories that look a little more grown up, shall we say. (I’m 28.) Any suggestions?

Signed,
Sheared and Alone

Dear Sheared,

While I may be the exact wrong person to ask, because 1. I buy most of my hair accessories in the baby shower section at The Dollar Tree, and 2… ( Continue - Daddylikey.blogspot.com )

Sara Delaney, fashion stylist - My name is Sara and I’m addicted to sequins…

venerdì, 11 dicembre 2009

Addicted to SequinsI don’t know how this crept up on me, there I was, minding my own business getting on with being a Stylist and an early adopter of next summers trends – think sorbet pastels, sheer chiffon, amazing art prints and peek-a-boo cut outs – when quietly one day I found myself staring at sequins.

I can understand this fad hitting me full frontal closer to the festive season when I always seem to get sucked in to the sparkly vibe that inevitably hits the stores – but it’s only just past Thanksgiving and I’m searching for sequin scores everywhere….( Continue - Runningwithheels.com )

Charlotte_Olympia3

Retro. Glamorous and daring with just a bit of flash. Charlotte Olympia Dellal and her namesake label Charlotte Olympia both hearken to days of bygone glamour and simultaneously flash forward with daring combinations of fabric, height and styling.

Charlotte’s exotic Brazilian/English family tree reads like a classic recipe for an exotic beauty with brains, talent and a couture touch. Born to Brazilian beauty Andrea Dellal a 1970’s muse for Valentino, it was almost destiny… ( Continue - Runningwithheels.com )

Style Inspiration: Audrey Hepburn

venerdì, 4 dicembre 2009

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uLtTVGLbwOM/Sugn-EALlyI/AAAAAAAABU0/QBlWpJSIjns/s400/AudreyHepburnpolo.jpg

Recently I noticed that a very old post about Audrey Hepburn style is the most-read item on this blog. So I thought it might be time to expand a little on that topic. The essence of the previous post was that while Audrey rocked an amazing sense of style, the things that made her signature look just don’t work on every body shape. But does that stop us wanting to emulate her look? Of course not. So rather than wishing we all had Audrey’s waif-like silhouette,… (Continue  - Theglamourousgradstudent.blogspot.com )
