Section the hair and use the blow-dryer with a round brush. Brush away from the roots to create volume.

Once the hair is dry, create a center part and brush the hair out. This will give the bounce and fullness to the locks.

For longer and lasting waves, leave the hair to set in a few large rollers. Roll the hair in the direction you want it to, with the hair separated into a top, middle and bottom section.

Spray hairspray on a paddle hairbrush and gently comb away from the parting in the direction of the hair. This will settle the visible flyaway strands around the crown.

New Fashion Ideas for the Year of 2012

The dress may have to step to the side when 2012 comes in since tuxedos for women are going to be the rage. If you remember Le Smoking in the 1960s by Yves Saint Laurent, it gave birth to the androgynous ensemble for women and now has become a classic wear and a very much wardrobe staple. The women’s tuxedo trend was quite popular back in 2008 when a flood of celebrities donned the androgynous look.

Mastering this look for this year is easy and will definitely give you a new angle to look at from the flowing dresses and skirts.

Helmut Newton’s iconic image of YSL’s Le Smoking was a woman with a slicked back hair, clutching a cigarette casually in hand with a bit of abandon, becomes statuesque, androgynous fixture on a Parisian Street. The whole look is delicately tailored, noticeable with the pants high on the waist and wide in the leg, but the blouse underneath the jacket has a soft and finished at the neck by a bow. It was like a crossroad between femininity and masculinity and it’s exactly where the women’s tuxedo trend has returned this year.

But this year we won’t be taking the tuxedo style of 2008, we will level it up and leave the other details behind, the fashion ideas for the women’s tuxedo this year has evolved.

Expect to see wide peaked lapels for the outfit, taking cues from the 1970s. 2008s colors were mostly the traditional black, this year, take it to another level by wearing other vibrant colors or wild colors.
Fashion ideas like embellishing the look and adding details are also great for this year. A sparkling women’s tuxedo jacket or pants screaming the 70s glam rock look will definitely be in vogue this year.

For people who live in warmer climates, you don’t have to fear that you have leave the tuxedo look in the closet for some comfortable temperature. All it needs is clever styling, like adding vibrant colors and light, clingy fabrics for texture. Pair a tuxedo jacket with well-fitted shorts or a body-hugging skirt to avow a sophisticated summer look.
For more fashion ideas with the tuxedo look, you pair a dinner jacket with light colored bottoms. Try a dinner jacket with a relaxed summer cut for a stunning ensemble.

You can easily wear tops with plunging necklines for a rather seductive and feminine look or a turtle neck or just a plain shirt.

These accessories and electronics are fashion status items, so if you’re on a budget have fun browsing. Details certainly do matter, so if you can afford it flaunt it.



Lady Gaga Heartbeats 2.0 Headphones

Resembling designer fashion jewelry, Lady Gaga’s Heartbeat headphones are a must have fashion accessory. The earphones are from the Beats by Dre headphone collection. Gaga supervised the designing of the extravagant jewelry-inspired headphones. We love the ones pictured on Gaga herself above. The triangle shaped ear buds with thick durable wire to plug into our music device of choice. Also pictured above are the spiked headphones from her collection as well. The concept behind her collaboration with Heartbeats is that sound does matter. The high quality earphones were designed to look as good as they sound, which is why they made our ultimate fashionable accessories list. Price tag is about $70.



Christian Dior Phone Touch Flow

While some people would consider purchasing the Dior Touch Flow phone reckless spending, we say why not if you have the means they get it in the name of fashion. Owning a luxury cell phone symbolizes that you have arrived and is one of the ultimate investments a fashionista can make to promote her image. It is said that the smartphone from Dior is made of 100 parts put together by hand in France. The case is made of highest Dior quality leather and the rest of the phone is made of lavish sapphire crystals. Other materials used are gold, diamond and steel. If the pricey jewels don’t get your attention then the phone’s amenities will. It comes fully equipped with internet, email, social media, camera phone and designer ringtones. The Christian Dior phone is so good it’s bad! The price tag is a whopping $4500. Get it if you can!



Incase Andy Warhol cases for iPhones, iPads and MacBooks

Last but not least from Incase, we love the Andy Warhol collection of iPhone, iPad cases, sleeves, and shoulder bags. These accessories are actually commissioned by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, so they are as authentic as you’re going to find anywhere. The collection ranges from $50 to $80. Pictured above are the Banana print screens. The accessories are also available in 1964 Flowers, Dollar Signs, 1966’s Cow Wallpaper and Camouflage.

Reblog: Femme Fashionista Must Have: BCBG Max Azria Dresses

Our femme fashionista must have pick this month is BCBG Max Azria dresses. The famous bandage dress has been the “It” dress for the past few years. Everyone from Victoria Beckham to Ashley Simpson has been pictured wearing dresses from Max Azria. These dresses are for the fit and fabulous for sure and are better known as Hervé Léger by Max Azria. Make no mistake this super sexy dress will show off all of your curves. Below are some celebrities that wore the dress best.


Wearing her Hervé Léger by Max Azria dress to the launch of her perfume in Germany, Katy Perry wore one of the more classic designs. The warp dress crossed the singers’ famous bust elegantly and cinched her figure down to her knees. Perry is known for choosing outrageous outfits, but this look was toned down and perfect. We love the lavender.


Jessica Szohr wore her BCBG to a Hervé Léger by Max Azria Spring 2011 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week last year. The former gossip girl looked stunningly fit in the black cut out and mesh form fitting dress. The daring sheer fabric on the mid section add another level of sex appeal to this otherwise simple dress.


Kim Kardashian wore this form fitting Hervé Léger by Max Azria to a Las Vegas opening. The super sexy dress is quite intricate with a nude underlay with black detailing on top. The knee length dress hugs her figure straight down to the knees. This dress from the spring 2011 collection was definitely made for Kim.


Katherine McPhee turned heads in her Hervé Léger by Max Azria nude bandage dress in New York. McPhee’s slender body looked great in the barely there dress. A+ for Katherine for looking super sexy post her American Idol days.


Britney Spears wore a Hervé Léger by Max Azria design to Wango Tango music concert last year. The super fit celebrity looked super sexy in the hot pink maze print strapless wrap dress. We really love how Britney has cleaned up in the past year and a half. We’re so team Britney.



We’re a fan of Brooklyn Decker in her pink Hervé Léger by Max Azria worn at the ESPY awards. The dress doesn’t fit the thin supermodel as tight as it does some of the other celebrities we’ve seen, but she is really filling out the top of the dress well. The tank dress look works for the beautiful blonde.

This ultra cool website is where the smart fashionistas go to get the hottest luxury inspired sunglasses for less. Nothing burns more than to scratch, break or lose and expensive pair of shades. And let’s face it, we all have done it at one time or another, which is why owning luxury accessories, can leave you feeling more grief than chic. Zoe’s Ray-ban inspired sunglasses would cost her a lot more than the similar Retro shades she’s wearing in the video.

Amanda Circle Scarf

Zoe selected the Amanda Circle Scarf in Red, because that’s her favorite color. As seen in the video, the infinity scarf double loops casually around the neck creating a layered look. The thing that is so attractive about infinity scarves is its versatility. You can also wear it as a shrug, through the arms and around the neck. You can also wear it more Beverly Hills chic by lacing one end through the other around the neck. There’s really an infinite amount of possible ways to wear this piece.

Jamie Buckle Satchel

Next, Zoe scored the Jamie Buckle Satchel from our friends at Handbag Heaven. Zoe is currently a working college student, so naturally she selected a handbag for a fashionista on the go that will accommodate her school necessities and transition nicely to a work setting. The Jamie Buckle Satchel has two front strap closures and turn lock claps to keep the contents of the bag secure. The two toned color block Tan/Olive handbag also has handy long shoulder strap, which gives a chic messenger bag look to it.

Fantasik Wedges

Last but certainly not least, Zoe went with the Fantasik High Heel Wedges in black courtesy of Shiekh Shoes. Judging by her video response, Zoe absolutely loves these ultra high platform wedges with color block heel. We love the edgy thick straps and sexy peep toe front. The Fantasik Wedges will add 5 ½ inches to your current height, so if you’re the kind of fashionista that loves to be super high like Zoe then Shiekh Shoes has what you’re looking for.
