Nice Buns

Lhuillier Buns

Goodbye ponytail, we’ll see you soon.

Fall runway designers have embraced the bun as a great way to have hair look ‘done’, but draw most attention to face and fashion. This is not your mother’s wedding day bun.

A simple ballerina bun was the inspiration at Monique Lhuillier’s Fall 2009 runway show. The trick is to secure your tresses into a “not too neat, not too messy” bun—then mist with hairspray and use a toothbrush to tame flyaways around the ears and hairline. Toothbrush- genius!

Try cult classic hairspray L’Oreal Elnett which is now finally available in the US, to secure your hair into place and enjoy a hair-stress free day!

Get L’Oreal Elnett hairspray at Target.

Eye wear Chanel

Embrace 1950’s style with the latest Eye Wear trend of black rimmed (only thing missing is the coke bottle-esq magnifying lens) glasses. As we saw at Sunday night’s Emmy awards, eye glasses are making a strong comeback. Goodbye lasik. Farewell contact lenses. Hello four eyes!

This trend strikes a cord with me because I have always had a strange desire to wear glasses. Maybe it’s the fact they make you look smarter or because its just another accessory to obsess over. Either way, we can all wear fashionable eye wear and join in on the spectacle accessory spree!

The greatest part about this new Eye Wear trend is that you don’t need a prescription; for those of you with 20/20 vision, you can still look 1950’s chic with clear acetate lenses. Rock this look to punctuate your professional self.
