New Hair

So, I got my hair cut today and it's this cute little bob with bangs and it's stacked a little bit in the back. I think it's very cute, but the kicker is that I am supposed to go to weddings the next two weekends in a row! I don't know what to do with it now that it is so short! It's going to be really hard to find an up-do for my new hair. Oh well, that's what I get. I'm so excited about my hair though, because it's been awhile since I had it short. I love to get my hair cut because it adds so much life and bounce to my hair. It even makes me look and feel better! What do you do to kick your look up a notch?

Flat Hair

So, I have flat hair, and I believe I have tried nearly every Volumizing hair product under the sun. Every time I find something I like, they discontinue it or something. I know all the tricks about, flipping your hair over while blow drying, using a round brush while blow drying, and not putting conditioner on the upper portion of your hair. I also know that giving your hair a blast of cool water at the end of the shower will help and that having a shorter cut will keep your hair from being weighted down and that having highlights will give the illusion of have many dimensions and being fuller. What else can I do? What else will work? I want to have fuller hair permanently and I cannot afford extensions! (Clearly, working in social services is not a job that allows for such extravagant things!) I once tried a product that was supposed to give like 30% more volume. Whatever! What is thirty percent more than nothing? Ha! I want a permanent fix that will increase the volume on my hair by 300%. OK, that's a little extreme, but really, is that such a terrible thing to wish for? I want to have long hair that doesn't look like a pancake. I'm asking for help, because I have a hundred and one tricks, but really, I just want to wake up and have long, flowing, shiny, bouncy tresses! Yes, that's what I want for Christmas this year. And world peace. But then I will be that unemployed girl with the gorgeous hair. I can live with that!

Spring Fever and Shoes!

It's almost spring time!!!! And you know what that means....the return of the cute shoe. Whatever your favorite style may be, the season to show them off is just around the corner. I personally am loving my heals! I got a new pair of close-toed bronze colored sling backs that I adore! If you are one of my two loyal readers, then you probably already know about these shoes from a previous posting. Anyway, they are wonderful. Other wonderful trends for spring include peep-toe heals, very circuit 1955. Add to those shoes a full dress with a wide belt (think "I Love Lucy") for a very fun and flirty outfit. What else is there to look forward to this season...well, the return of the flip-flop for one thing! Everybody loves flip flops, just be sure to keep them clean and make sure your tootsies are in tip top shape. No calluses and chipped nail polish, if you know what I'm sayin! You can pick up a pumice stone or a foot version of the emery board at any local store for just a couple of bucks. Rub it on wet feet a couple times a week and slather them with a moisturizing creme and ta da! Be sure to treat yourself to a nice professional pedicure at least once or twice a season, just to keep your feet looking great. Tell me what favorite spring time fashions you are most desperately awaiting for the return of?

Fashion at it's finest.

My Favorite Oscar Dresses:

Reese Witherspoon in Olivier Theyskens for Nina Ricci. (Left)

Cameron Diaz in Valentino. (Right)

Portia de Rossi in a Zac Posen gown. (Left)

NICOLE KIDMAN on the red carpet in Balenciaga. (Right)

These are my favorite Oscar dresses and I wouldn't be surprised if the next season of prom, bridal, and cocktail dresses show alot of the flair found on these dresses! Yes, they are in a specific order because the Reese Witherspoon's dress was definitely the most eye catching look of the evening. Gorgeous!
