Catwalk hair


David Babaii says: "It's so chic and simple"

- Start with David Babaii for WildAid Bohemian Beach Spray [$9.99]
- Rough dry your hair.
- Babaii advises putting hair into a high ponytail, instead of pulling it all the way through the band, leave part of it in so it's shaped like a bun.
- pin the tail back into the hair and pull pieces out in front.

Big Night Out...


Glamorous Hair tips:
- take wet strands and apply Shine Mousse,and blow-dry your hair
scrunching it with your hands(or using a hair diffuser)
- Wrap pieces around your finger then pin them close to your scalp
- Let the curls set, and as you take the pins off brush it with your fingers to finish the look add shine spray :)

British icon Alexander McQueen commits suicide








so tragic!! he was so tallented and creative!! :"(

style watch:Maroslava Duma











I'm in Love with her style!
a 25 year-old Russian and editor at Harper’s Bazaar Russia. You will find her at almost every Fashion Weeks . Miroslava became a huge style icon, highly coveted and stalked by Fashion photographers. You might like her, envy her. Miroslava Duma is an adorable pretty, feminine and stylish woman. No doubt that style is her passion and she knows how to translate it.

1. Chic & smart : Most of the time Miroslava wears dresses or skirts. Ample or short-skinny fit, she always looks feminine.
2. Less is more : simplicity and clarity is always a good look with Duma. It’s always amusing to find someone looking great and probably has not spent a lot of time to dress. It might be Miroslavas case. she does not need to do much to stand out, a simple, basic and outfit is key to success. Don’t overdo your look.
3. Think BIG: Big accessories are always the key. Bags have to be in leather – crocodile skin is even better. No flashy colors, the bag has to be practical and in a classic shape. You’ll always find her wearing rings and a wrist full of bracelets. Big glasses are a must-have.

outfit of the day




Azzedine Alaia jacket and skirt
Chanel shoes
Vintage croc bag

i found this quote by Azzedine Alaia which is so true! when i wear Alaia the fit the structure everything feels amazing!

""A woman is like an actress, she's always onstage. She has to look great to feel good. If she's going to wear clothes by a designer, ... then the clothes should make something happen, something unexpected. The dress has to be part of her, she has to feel it on her body. ... I prefer the woman to be seen rather than the outfit. Her head, her body, her hands -- the garment is there to cover her, to underline something, and make her beautiful."

The braid




as seen in Alexander Wang and Giambattista Valli. nothing can be messy yet dressy like an
tangled, messy braid. Orlando Pita says " it should look like youve done it ourself: soft and low-key"

how to dress dowwn your hair






  1. if hair is freshly washed work in a mousse from root to tip, spray and then rough dry before styling.


  2. if hair is down add a center parting to frame the face - its very alluring


  3. if you feel like putting your hair up use as few pins as possible to help loose bits to fall out naturally.


  4. to create texture to your hair use your fingers. brushes are forbidden.


  5. to take the look from day to night add a hair accessory.


mess makers



- Redken Aerate 08 bodifying cream mousse



- Bumble & Bumble (really) thickening serum



-Tigi Catwalk your highness root boost spray
