I know I fail at posting!

Here is a great website that'll let you know how safe your cosmetic products are! They have a great rating system from 0 to 10 letting you know how hazardous your products are. This was a reality check for me, some brands straight up lie to us and we deserve to know the toxicity of products! Enjoy!

And to keep the post a little up beat and fun some pictures!

Vintage Inspiration: Barbara Stanwyck

I'm taking a film noir class at school, and my favorite femme fatal so far is Barbara Stanwyck in double indemnity. She has great hair (which is a wig in the movie but I still love it), her makeup and lips are amazing, and she is always dressed beautifully. If you have a chance to see double indemnity you will be blown away by her strong radiant personality and her beauty. Enjoy!

Red hair

I love red hair. It's beautiful and exotic. Yet it has such a versatile range of tones such as violet, copper, and red. It has great depth and can be any color from light to dark. If your hair stylist chooses the shade correctly red hair can look good on any skin tone! Enjoy some inspirations!

Fall 2010 fashion week pt. 2

Gaspard Yurkievich




I love the pompadour with the feather in the back, it has a bit of native american feel to it.


Sass & Bide




This is my favorite! The perfect diagonal poof in the front and back, with that cute little metal hair piece. The makeup is stellar too, the clean flawless face and the deep plum lips.


Roksanda Ilincic




I've been seeing this everywhere! Well in ads at least. So fun this could easily be toned down into a sassy bedhead look. Does this mean that perms are going to be back in style? I think so!

Fall 2010 NY Fashion week Hair trends pt. 1

Jasper Conran- These up-do's are old school looking, huge barrel curls pulled to the top of the head in different variations. So fun!






Mulberry- This looks could easily be toned down for one of those hair days where you can't get your hair to do a thing! It's a modern but messy look that can spice up your entire look.





Oscar de la Renta-Beautiful romantic curls, a little less uniformed then a 1940's or 50's wave, tons of back combing and a side part finger wave bang.






Vera Wang- What a neat up-do! The front is a bit extreme but the back adds a nice spin to the style, with twisted textures and colors, the contract is brilliant.




Tommy Hilfiger- This beautiful classic side-swept look can make any outfit look sophisticated, with a few curls that have been brushed out and finished with a large bobby pin holding the bangs to the side.
