Fried Highlights

Posted by: Ashbi  :  Category: Uncategorized

A favorite fashion pose of mine; the model’s partial reflection showing up in the storefront glass. We’d tried three different poses and backgrounds, this one was the shot I was expecting to toss due to excessive highlights showing in camera review and histogram readings. Turned out to be the keeper of the bunch.

How to Wear This Autumn’s Latest Fashion Trend - Sequins

Posted by: Ashbi  :  Category: Uncategorized

Sequins are going to be a big fashion trend this Autumn, but there are many ways that you can wear them dependent on how brave or outgoing you are. During the catwalk shows models flowed down the catwalk with short dresses, power shoulders and sequins everywhere. But it’s not just dresses that will be adorned with sequins - tops will feature heavily, but expect to see sequins on hats (particularly berets), jackets, shoes and handbags. Lingerie doesn’t escape the trend either, with bras and knickers for those special nights out covered in sequins to add a touch of glamour.

But how do you wear them? Well, it depends how brave you are. Outgoing, confident women will be going all out with fully covered short dresses in metallic colours. Choose plain black opaque tights to save you from the cold.

If you do choose sequinned bras, wear a sheer top over to go clubbing. Or how about one of the latest jackets, decorated in sequins to your own desired level. Most shops will give you a choice of jackets festooned or some with perhaps a lapel or side detail. If you are really brave then a pair of glitzy silver leggings will certainly get you noticed.

Those not so confident will be happy with small smatterings of sequins outlining key details. If this is you, think a nice sequinned top and skinny jeans, and for a night out you can add sequinned shoes and/or a sequinned clutch bag. Tops can be found all covered in sequins, or if you’d rather be more subtle then just a simple design on the shoulder will still catch the eye.

No matter what you choose, or however brave you feel, pick up at least one or two items with sequins, enjoy yourself and let some sparkle back into your life.

L’Oreal UV Protect Spray for Hair

Posted by: Ashbi  :  Category: 3
L’Oreal UV Protect Spray for Hair

L’Oreal’s UV Protect Spray (part of the EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care System) protects hair using UVA/UVB filters. Protecting hair from the sun will protect your color treated hair from fading and damage.

As you may already know, I cut off my color treated hair in August with the goal of growing long healthy hair as soon as possible.  When I received this product as part of Total Beauty’s Sneak Peek I took it as a sign that I should protect my hair against future sun damage and used it on my non-color treated hair.  Please note that it specifically says on the bottle: “Exclusively for color treated hair”.

If you do have color treated hair you probably already know how the sun can change the color of your hair.   Hair color takes time and money so it’s a great idea to extend the life of your investment with products formulated to do just that! 

My experience with the product was very good.  The scent is very pleasant to me as I love Rosemary and Mint.  The spray function is adequate and it doesn’t weigh down my fine hair.  I’ve used UV Protect two ways.  First it started off in the car, I would spray it on when I was off somewhere with the kids.  Then it moved into the house next to the sunblock.  It’s a great product to have for outdoor days which we hopefully will have a few more of!

It’s suggested to use L’Oreal’s UV Protect Spray with EverPure Shampoos and Conditioners.  Find out what the lovely ladies at Total Beauty thought.

Men’s Fashion Trends

A fashionable man always pleases the eye because he has taken the necessary steps to ensure his dressing style suits his size, age and personality. He scours men’s fashion magazines looking for the latest trend. Here are some fashion tips for the man who wants to look dapper in his trendy clothes.

Clothing

An important factor in men’s fashion is to choose clothes that fit appropriately. When men try to fit into clothes that are a size smaller, this creates a negative impression as do clothes that are too big. You must also choose garments that suit you rather than wearing something that is in fashion but does not suit your stature and makes you look foolish.

The one most important dress that has to be in every man’s wardrobe is a pair of well fitting black trousers or jeans. You can never go wrong with black pants as they can be teamed with either business shirts or trendy casual shirts. Men must learn to blend colors so that it portrays a cool demeanor and does not make you look like a clown.

Natural fibers like wool, cotton and linen for jackets and suits is gaining popularity rather than synthetic fabrics like nylon and rayon which tend to make you sweat. Crisp cotton shirts always create a style statement and never go out of fashion.

Men’s fashion also depends on each individual. A man should be able to carry himself confidently in public without feeling uneasy about his dressing or appearance.

How Do Celebrities Influence The Fashion Trends?

Posted by: Ann  :  Category: Uncategorized

Celebrities are enormously glorified as style icons or fashion divas by the tabloids and the fashion magazines. The media leaves no stone unturned in covering the celebrity fashion trends on not only the red carpet, but also wherever they go. In a way, they highlight the way to enhance your personality.

Youngsters and teenagers are the most influenced by the media projection of their favorite celebrity and they start emulating them. Thus, trends become fashion and it constantly changes from time to time.

Celebrity fashion accessories:

Accessories always add zing to your semblance and play an important role in the present fashion trends. Traditionally accessories were purely used to adorn an outfit but these days’ people choose accessories first and then find a costume to blend with it.

The credit for this change of perception should be entrusted on the media, which publishes about the accessories worn by the Celebes. Celebrities in their bid to become the talk of the press and remain in buzz go to the extremes of wearing the most fashionable accessories that they know will soon set the fashion trends worldwide.

Should we follow celebrity fashion?

The erratic world of fashion is all about setting and emulating trends. However, many times the non-Celebes cannot afford the accessories that celebrities flaunt; they need to opt for inexpensive imitations of the accessories worn by the A-list celebrities of the likes of Madonna and Victoria Beckham.

People feel that being in the shoes of their style icons enhances their appeal and makes them feel proud. The strong desire to mirror celebrity fashion trends at times makes youngsters copy even the most bizarre accessories. Stylists advise that before selecting apparel and accessories one needs to be practical and understand that dressing sophisticatedly and stylishly according to your body, looks and attitude is what enhances personality.
