2014 Cannes Most Daring Celebrity Hairstyles

    5
    This year's star-studded Cannes Film Fesitval was as glamorours as ever. Here's what we loved and loathed about some of the most interesting celebrity hairstyles.

    Nicole Kidman

    From the front, Kidman’s side-swept ponytail looks soft and elegant. The delicate roll above her right ear gives a touch of volume and structure. From the back, however, we aren’t sure what to make of this messy waterfall-braid.

    Blake Lively

    14 05 22 Cannes 2a14 05 22 Cannes 2b
    The Gossip Girl style icon has some seriously coveted tresses. Sleeked back into a voluminous bun, Lively looks perfectly polished in this classic style. We hate that you can see pins sticking out when she turns her head in some photos, though.

    Naomi Watts

    14 05 22 Cannes 3a14 05 22 Cannes 3b
    Watts’ blonde hair looks effortlessly chic brushed back with loose curls swept to the side. We love the way her hair gathers into the curls at the back. It's a good twist on the over-done "side-swept" hair trend.

    Jess Weixler

    14 05 22 Cannes 4a14 05 22 Cannes 4b
    Weixler’s intricate bun looks somewhat unfinished. The fishtail wrap-around is a unique look, however the middle section of the bun looks as though it should be hidden. We do give her points for trying something unconventional, though.

    Marion Cotillard

    14 05 22 Cannes 5a14 05 22 Cannes 5b
    We love Cotillard's smooth style. The faux bob pulled back from her face accentuates her cheekbones and its simplicity contrasts nicely with her ornate Dior dress. We appreciate that she dares to be different!

    It's a New Year!

    Out with the old and in with the new! as much as it may be difficult for people to say goodbye to 2013 i always feel its so nice to put another year behind us and reflect on what a year it has been. I'm not talking about setting up new year's resolutions, but just reflecting on the good the bad and the ugly of 2013. a chance to mend any scars or tie some loose ends and start 2014 with a fresh new outlook and look look!!! that's right people. new year new look. it's basically Xmas for fashionistas !!!!! every store is having blowout sales on everything from dresses to shoes to household goods. Its a perfect time to do a little shopping and spice up the new year. sure the new arrivals of 2014 are not on sale, but who says we need to follow every trend? its a new year, lets make it a new you. I'm tired of reading about what were supposed to look like. My resolution to myself, is to be myself!! So rather then fill the following page with what society expects you to look like i would rather keep this Blog a blank canvas, so that you can create explore and discover your new you!




    ?







    Here are a few tips on where to start;

    1. your closet! that's right, when was the last time you cleaned out your closet. i'm sure there are tones of hidden treasures in there as well as ship wrecks, so start by cleaning out your closet and re-asses your fashion situation.
    2. CHANGE YOUR HAIR!!! Its time to grow some Chutzpah!!! Now I'm not saying all "stylists" are qualified for this type of transformation, but if you feel yours isn't, then maybe its time for a change there too. Ask around, ask people who you've admired for there hairstyles over the years, who they go to. a good stylist will be able to look at you and your overall life style and suggest a look that would best suit your needs. the problem with most women, is they get so comfortable with a stylist that it becomes a relationship, and like all relationships we tend to get into a comfort zone where we feel its OK to wear flannel pajamas or fart in front of each-other and pass it off as sort of sexy, we forget what its like to feel sexy or desired, but let me say, the main ingredient in your spicy dish of life is you!! you are your own chef and what you put in is what you will get out. 
    3. Hit up the trendy shops in your area, they tend to have the best selection of unique fashions. sometimes after assessing your closet situation a few good pieces is all you need to make all the difference.  
    That is all for now ladies, so, let's make sure that we start the year on the right foot so when we reach the end of the year we don't feel like we landed on our faces! here's to 2014!!
