Holiday Hair Dos

Its holiday season and if you're like me your month of December will be filled with lots of Christmas parties and Christmas dinners and you'll need to look fabulous at each and every one of them. But coming up with different looks for lots of different events can be hard. So to help out, here's a couple of my favorite hair trends that are perfect to try out this holiday season.

The first hair trend that has been every where lately is The Braid. Everyone from Jlo to Blake Lively to Jennifer Aniston have been seen with this hair trend. But it's not your traditional braid. The trick to this trend is to do a modern version of "The Braid" and pair it up with great makeup and a great outfit. Check out some examples of modern versions of "The Braid".




Another one of my favorite hair trends right now that has been seen on everyone from Megan Fox to Kim Kardashian is the classic Veronica Lake vintage waves. This look is beautiful and ultra glamorous. Pair it up with vintage makeup like a classic red lip and black liner and you'll be the hit at your Christmas Party!







What are some of your favorite holiday hair trends?

Global Cool's Stylish Way to Turn Down The Heat!

The environmental charity Global Cool has teamed up with Stella Tennant, VV Brown, Jo and Leah Wood, Adam Crossdale and Laura Bailey to create a series of short films to raise awareness of the benefits of turning your central heating down to 18 degrees – including saving money, saving your skin and ALSO helping to save the environment.
Each film sees a celebrity and stylist create a fashion-forward look that’s both hot and warm, using clothes from the high street and the high end to suit a variety of scenarios – whether it’s VV Brown writing music at home, Actor Adam Crossdale (cute new doctor from easties!) preparing for a date or Jo and Leah Wood dressing up to the nines at their new pop-up restaurant.

Check out some of the videos to learn how to turn up the style up while turning down the heat! Also see below on how you could have the chance to Win £500 of ASOS vouchers by supporting Global Cool's warm winter style!

As it has emerged that individuals are responsible for 40% of UK emissions (cars account for 26.1%) and that quite staggeringly 69% of apples sold in the UK are from abroad, our celebrities have joined forces to raise awareness of the benefits of keeping your thermostat below 18 degrees – whether it’s environmental, financial (you can save up £40 a year by installing an intelligent thermostat) or physical as you can burn up 60 KCals an hour by keeping your heating below 18 - now if that isn't a good reason other than thinking of the environment I don't know what is!!! As I write this I'm just about to do the very same, if I can ever work out how to use my new so called state of the art heating system, however it's definitely a task worth tackling!

Film viewers will also have the chance to win a new winter wardrobe in order to recreate these looks by entering Global Cool’s Facebook competition, in association with ASOS.com. Global Cool’s Facebook fans can upload a picture of themselves wearing their most stylish winter knits and get their friends to vote for them to win £500 worth of vouchers.

Hot Mess Monday - Alicia Keys


I think that secretly, Alicia's stylist HATES her. She would really have to despise her to put her in the awful get-up. I mean really, just hate her with a passion. There is nothing good about this outfit, absolutely nothing. Besides the fact that it is disgusting, it does nothing for the poor girl's figure. And don't even get me started on her hair - that poof is a crime!

I hate the fact that it is Monday again. Kill.Me.Now
