Well, appart from his awesome personality, it's his amazing voice! Interested? Then hit the link below! (& prepare for your heart to melt!)

Hot Hair!: Bangin' It!

Whether you want a blunt, dramatic look or an edgy, rock and roll one, bangs/fringe can change up your look in an instant! Lea Michelle (above) is rocking an edgy piecey, eye grazing fringe that draws the attention to her eyes and gives her a gorgeous overall look!  If you are interested in getting the cut, you might want to be aware of the maintenance that comes with it, see the tips for the look below!

Tips for the look:
  • Straight hair: Ladies with straight hair don't need to worry about fringe maintenance, lucky you!
  • Wavy hair: I personally have wavy hair and have had a fringe before so I know from experience that a handy blow-dryer/hair straightener helps avoid a wonky fringe!
  • Curly hair: Make sure to avoid a frizzy fringe by using products that help combat frizz!
  • Washing the fringe: Make sure to wash your fringe everyday as it can tend to get oilier than the rest of your hair, and can therefore lead to forehead breakouts!
Despite the things you have to take into consideration, getting the cut can have fringe-tastic benefits such as; drawing the attention to your eyes, hiding accidentally over plucked eyebrows or a large forehead. It can also add an edgy or dramatic look as well!

A Little Crush On: Paul Wesley!

If I do a "crush on" segment for Ian Somerhalder, I had to do one for Paul Wesley! I think the brothers on the Vampire Diaries are hot in their own way, Damon is the bad-boy with a sensitive side and Stefan is the sweet and brooding guy! The thing that makes Paul crush material, apart from his good looks, is that he is humble and has a great sense of humour! The thing that really won me over was when I saw an interview of him with George Lopez, link below!
(p.s He speaks polish! A guy who can speak another language? Yes, please!)

A Little Crush On: Ian Somerhalder!

Enjoying the shirtless picture of Ian above ladies? Yes Ian Somerhalder is hot, hot, hot!  He plays the bad-boy , with a sensitive side (swoon!)Damon Salvatore on the hit show The Vampire Diaries! You might have also seen him on Lost! His tousled 'Romeo' hair, smouldering emerald eyes, chisselled and rugged features and a unique sense of style all add to his appeal! It's interesting to note that he is apparently dating his Vampire Diaries co-star Nina Dobrev (who plays Elena), I guess that sizzling on-screen chemistry transferred off-screen as well!

Love the Look!: Eva Mendes' Coral Lips

Coral lips are perfect for those of you who are experiencing summer and spring at the moment! It's a fun way to incorporate colour into your makeup look and looks super gorgeous! Eva Mendes paired her coral lips with a similar coral blush on the cheeks, kept eye makeup quite neutral and natural and went for effortless waves.
Tips for  the look:
  • Keep the colour of the blush and lip  to the same colour family to get a more polished look and use blush sparingly as you want the focus of your face to be your pretty coral lips.
  • Go for a more natural and neutral eye and tousled waves, for that effortless look that Eva has in the picture above!

Style Love!: Preppy Casual with Ashlee Olsen!

Effortless, sophisticated, preppy & perfectly casual. Ashlee Olsen totally rocks the "low maintenance" look! Pair this look with tousled beach waves and natural makeup. Ashlee's style tends to be more casual and minimalistic than Mary-Kate's but nevertheless I am a big fan of both sisters' style!
Tips for the look:
  • Sunglasses: Preferrably black wayfarers!
  • Button down shirt: Unbutton a few buttons for a sexy and effortless look & tuck into jeans
  • Skinny jeans: Comfort is key, so throw on your favourite pair of dark blue or black skinny jeans!
  • Shoes: Gladiator wedges would be perfect for the look but any strappy wedge heels would be fab as well!
  • Gold wrist accesory: Throw on a gold watch or bracelet and voila!

Hot Hair!: Braided Ponytail!

I am really liking the braided ponytail at the moment! I think it looks super cute and pretty. Sorry the picture above isn't of the best quality but as you can see that the scene is from Gossip Girl, where Serena (Blake Lively) on the right, is rocking the look. The great thing is that it is super easy and can be done in minutes! Below I've attached a youtube link which will show you how to do it step by step, but for the basic how-to for the look;
How to get the look:
  1. Pull your hair into a high ponytail and secure with an elastic
  2. Braid your ponytail (you can braid it halfway or all the way, it's all up to you!) and secure with an elastic

Love the Look!: Bombshell Hair & Sweetie Pie Makeup!

My absolute favourite look from this year's Video Music Awards was definitely Selena Gomez! I think she looks absolutely gorgeous! Her Bridgitte Bardot-esque bombshell hair, diffused soft smokey eye and pink lips, I love it! This look would definitely be flattering on anybody!
Tips for the look:
  • Hair: Leave out two large-ish pieces of your bangs, then wrap around the outside of your curling iron making sure to curl away from your face (as this is more flattering). Mould it with your fingers to make sure you get that "swoosh" Selena has in the photo above. Then twist once or twice sections of hair before pinning them back to get the texture in the picture above.
  • Eyes: Apply some neutral beige to the lids. Then grab an angled eyeshadow brush, dampen it and then dip it into a black eyeshadow (use grey if you prefer a softer look) then line the top lashline, and outer third of your bottom lashline. Line your waterline with a black eyeliner and then smudge it out. Curl eyelashes and apply a few coats of mascara .
  • Lips: Apply a peachy-nude-pink lipstick and matching gloss!

Hot Hair!: Strands to the Side Glamour!

Miranda Kerr, Pippa Middleton & Kim Kardashian in the picture above all look gorgeous with their hair thrown to one side! It's very simple & looks so pretty! To get the look just put all your hair to one side, simple right? Looks great with wavy, voluminous or straight hair.
