The Bob August 8, 2008

The bob hair style is hotter than ever, with so many distinct styles to separate yourself from the rest. The bob is shorter than shoulder length hair, in various lengths. In 2008 the bob can be as different and unique as you want it to be. Blond or brunette, short in the back and longer in the front. You can choose to create a blunt edge all around or cut layers throughout it creating a bed head look, purrrr. See the images below and choose the bob you think would best suit you.

Finding the perfect sun hat is important this summer. Keeping your face out of the sun is a must! Especially if you want to keep your skin looking healthy and young. I personally prefer a nice floppy large brim hat to keep my face entirely out of the sun. There are a ton of super cute sun hats out there. It’s a great accessory for the beach and you’re protecting your skin! J.CREW has a great sun hat, its sleek and neutral. It’s certain, this sun blocker will go with any color suit you choose.

Mustard Madness November 27, 2007

Hold the ketchup, because tis the season for the new must-have color mustard yellow!  It all began with Fall 2007 runway shows when top designers displayed splashes of mustard on their models.  This popular trend is popping up in Milan, Paris and London.

When wearing this shade be sure not to over do it.  Wear splashes of this color, for example in a hand bag, a pair of heels or a cute top.   

Don’t combine all three pieces, just choose one.

The Mod Cat Eye November 19, 2007

The cat-style eye started with our favorite 1950s glamour queen Marilyn Monroe. More recently, celebs like Amy Whinehouse and Angelina Jolie are rocking it on the red carpet. Here are a few tips on how to create a look that will help bring out your inner purr!

Shadowcat

Start with a light coat of eye shadow primer applied over the entire lid. On top of that, layer with a neutral-colored eyeshadow. Contour the crease of your eye with a darker shadow for a more dramatic look.

Top o’ the line

Using a dark brown or black liquid eye liner, apply the liner on the top lid as you normally would until you get about 3/4 the way across your eyelashes. From there, take the liner straight across and up to create a line curved slightly towards your temple. The further you draw the line outside of eye, the more dramatic the effect will be. Build the line up just a bit past the outer corner of your eye and taper the line off at the end to create the “wing”.

Avoid a cat-astrophe

Don’t apply any liner on the inner corner of the eye above the lash line. Doing so will make your eyes appear beady.

With some practice and patience, you’ll be able to find the perfect shape to make this look your own!
