Hot Hair: Mermaid Waves

Easy, quick and gorgeous pretty much sums up what I look for when styling my hair. The most common variation is to simply do one braid on each side from the ear down with almost dry hair and leave for a couple of hours, or overnight. If you don't have enough time that's fine! Simply blow dry your braids. For myself I usually need 90-95% dry hair to get optimal results.
Some Tips: For bigger, looser waves opt for one braid, for tighter waves opt for the two etc etc. When I wanted that frizzy but sexy Carrie Bradshaw hair I would do braids all over my head!

Product Love!: Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain

Brand: Revlon

Price:  $17.99  AUD

For best results, according to Revlon: Apply to dry lips, wait 30 seconds then apply the lip balm (attached)

What I think? I love this lipstain! I've tried the ones from Bourjois and Covergirl but this one knocks them out of the water! I have the Revlon Just Bitten in the shade Gothic (second from the bottom, in picture above) and colour pigment is great and it doesn't dry out your lips! Bonus! I especially love the balm attached on the other side as it intensely moisturises and adds shine! Oh and I can't help thinking the name and it's association with Twilight is pretty alluring.  Picture below is of me wearing Gothic on my lips, and I have to admit I applied it very quickly so I didn't do a perfect job, haha! It is also important to note that I gave the product 8/10 kisses and not 10/10 kisses as the colour did fade as the day went on but with a few re-applications it was great!

 Rating: 8/10 kisses

(p.s My formal is coming up soon and I will definitely be wearing this lipstain!)

Style Love!: Casual Boho Stylin' with Lucy Hale

One of my favourite shows is Pretty Little Liars, and as you ladies might know Lucy Hale is one of the stars. Her on-screen and off-screen fashion is girl-crushworthy! On-screen she loves layering, and adding eclectic touches to her outfits (future post on this guaranteed!) Off-screen her outfits scream boho babe. Take the picture above, super cute, super fashionable and super easy to copy!
Tips for the look:

• Basic T-Shirt: Every girl should have a well-fitting, super comfortable white t-shirt in their closet. It is a staple item that you can mix in to any outfit! The only thing to watch out for though when choosing a white T-shirt that at times it can be made from thin material therefore giving an unflattering dimension to your body and being see-through. (No pressure though, I am still looking for the perfect staple basic tee!)
• Vest: Add a vest on top of your t-shirt! Vests add a boho vibe and can help make an outfit look more casual. In the picture Lucy has a black vest with fringe detail, anything fringe again can add a boho vibe!
• Denim shorts: Next add a pair of denim shorts. Comfty, looks good and is perfect for warm weather!
• Boots: Any pair of up-to-the-knee boots will match the outfit but by picking black boots it will match the vest and therefore pull the outfit together.
• Statement Long Necklace: Often you will see Nicole Richie, Vanessa Hudgens and Demi Lovato throwing on a long necklace to add a finishing touch to their outfit. This is exactly what Lucy Hale has done and therefore adds interest to her look. You don't necessarily have to wear the exact same necklace as in the picture but by finding a necklace that is similar length or shape will help you achieve this look to a T.
• Handbag: Lucy has a bright coloured handbag in the picture which adds a pop of colour to her outfit. The good part is that any handbag will look good with the whole look. I personally have a long brown messenger bag that I would love to pair with this!
• Sunnies: Protect your lovely peepers with some fashionable sunnies; just throw on your favourite pair!

Style Love: Brenda Song's Edgy Rocker Look!

Brenda Song in the picture above epitomises the effortless edgy rock look that I love! The loose tousled waves to the relaxed but gorgeous outfit makes for a great look! Also what spiked my interest to the outfit is when I read that guys love this look due to it's casual, and cool appeal!

Tips for the look:

• Hair: A rocker chic look is not complete without tousled loose waves!
• Tank Dress: Just like the one Brenda is wearing throw on a tank dress that has an interesting detail in the front. If you are curvy opt for a more fitted dress and if you are of athletic build then go for a loose fitted one.
• Fringe Vest: The fringe vest adds an effortless bohemian vibe. Fringe is fun and adds a nice touch to the outfit.
• Belt:  Throw on any belt that you wish like Brenda did! Remember if you would like to accentuate your curves or make your body seem curvier then tie the belt around your waist (as it is the skinniest part of your body).
• Shoes:  The best thing about the outfit is that you can dress it down by wearing flip flops or sandals, or dress it up with wedges or heels!

Hot Hair: Nicole Richie-esque Headscarves!

Bad hair day? Thank goodness for headscarves! You can wear them in a multitude of ways, and they disguise bad hair days! Just like Nicole Richie in the picture above; just throw your hair up in a messy bun, leave your bangs/fringe out and add a pretty headscarf to finish off the look! It gives a very 'I just threw this on' look, very effortless! I love headscarves I have quite a few from leopard print to plaid, you can throw it on whenever and it can change up your look. It's also super-cute for school/college!
