2012 SUMMER HAIR COLOR TRENDS

February 2, 2012 – 6:45 am

What are the 2012 summer hair color trends?

Usually, hair color trends don’t change from season to season as easily as that. Sometimes you get some sun kiss highlights in summer, or some warmer tones in spring. These would be the logical changes that might occur to your hair color through the seasons, but other times fashion goes completely crazy and starts dictating some frenzied hair color trends.

For 2012 summer hair color trends it is neither the case that hair will get highlights, nor will it be some wild, uncommon change in hair color.

There are two main trends for hair color summer 2012:

Chocolate Brown 

Honey and Caramel Blonde

It’s up to you which one of these colors to chose. They are both very fashionable and classy. My recommendation is to go with the color that is closer to you natural hair color. If you have a natural dark hair, I wouldn’t be so sure about discoloring the hair, this action may damage the hair and make it look rough. Don’t forget that hair trends for 2012 are totally for soft, healthy looking hair!

MUST-HAVE MAKEUP BRUSHES – Essential Makeup Brushes for Perfect Makeup

February 1, 2012 – 7:58 am

I’m sure that you’ve already watched hundreds of makeup tutorials and you are overwhelmed with the number of makeup brushes. But you aren’t going to buy 30 different makeup brushes, are you? Let’s see which are the must – have  makeup brushes, those essential makeup brushes that you need in order to get the perfect makeup and let’s make that number of makeup brushes as small as possible.

First of all, no matter how many makeup brushes you have, the most important rule is that the makeup brush is made with the softest, natural hair bristles. One high quality makeup brush will do better than 10 low quality makeup brushes. So, let’s see what the must – have, essential makeup brushes for a perfect makeup are!

1. Powder brush

Without a powder brush you have no makeup. You can use your fingers for foundation, for eyeshadow, even for lipstick, but no powder brush means no powder at all, no powder at all is just like letting your makeup float in the air. So, the first and most important brush you need is a powder brush.

2. Blending shadow brush

We all know that rough edges aren’t really classy. Eye makeup must almost always look soft and even natural. Even if you apply the eyeshadow with your fingers or with the little brush from the eyeshadow set, you will still have to blend the shadows somehow, but, again, without a blending brush it will be impossible.

3. Cheek brush

Perfect makeup isn’t yet finished until you have some blush in your cheeks. You could live your life without the powder blush, but you will never have a perfect makeup. Cheek brush is also a must-have makeup brush.

Well, these are the most important, essential, must – have makeup brushes. They must also be professional makeup brushes, to be sure you’ll have the perfect makeup. If you are wandering where to buy from these must-have makeup brushes, I would go for Lancome. They also provide an essential brush set, which I highly recommend. In this brush set they’ve added two more brushes apart from the ones stated above: Dual End Liner and Shadow and Foundation Brush.

Lancome

Tip: Never forget that less is more when less is high quality!

SPRING SUMMER NAILS 2012 TRENDS & COLORS WITH PICTURES

January 31, 2012 – 7:50 am

Now that you already know what the spring fashion trends for 2012 are, what nail color do you feel like wearing for 2012 spring – summer? I’m sure that you’ve already bought some new nail color and I’m also pretty sure that, if you are a fashion addict, then the nail polish you’ve just bought is the right color for spring – summer 2012 nail color trends! Just think about the airy fabrics, the poetic attitude, the art-deco style, the jungle prints. What nail color do they seem to ask for? I think we are talking about pastels and classics for 2012 nail color trends. And so does Chanel.

There are three colors that run the nail color trends for 2012 :

flamingo pink
pastel orange
burgundy

These colors for 2012 nail trends bring the right degree of femininity and softness which was missing from a perfect fashionable look for 2012. You must ALWAYS wear them on short cut nails. I hope that it is already clear that no nail stickers are allowed in 2012! The rest is history, just go with the poetic air of 2012 fashion and your final look will be spectacular!

January 26, 2012 – 9:16 am

This year doesn’t mark a fresh start in hairfashion, just like all the other years did. Instead of that, 2012 comes in clean continuity with 2011 hair trends. Long hair, simple haircuts and hairstyles, natural hair colors are still the main hairfashion trends in 2012. Only the exquisite feeling of undone, that ruffled hairstyle which was very trendy in 2011 is the one that changes in 2012. In 2012 we are talking about the ultimate salon smoothness. The hair must look perfect, but, just like in 2011, it still has to look natural…

Some would say that the the side part is the fashionable hair parting in 2012, but I won’t be so sure about it. A perfect center part is harder to get than a side part. That’s why 2012 hairfashion will appreciate more a center part hair cut than a side part one.

Beach Dresses That Never Go Out of Style

January 16, 2012 – 9:07 am

Hey guys! Due to so many demands on beach dresses I’ve decided to make an article about some sort of classic beach dresses (long and short) that are suitable not only in 2012, but anytime in recent fashion history. There are indeed some beach dresses that never go out of style because of their ‘personal’ beach – features. So let’s look up for this features that transcend fashion and time.

First of all, there is always the white beach dress. Usually this kind of beach dresses has a fresh shape and it’s made out of cotton (which is one of the best fabrics in warm weather). Secondly, there is also the black beach dress and the warm tones colored beach dresses. I will not place printed dresses in the top of beach dresses that never go out of style because prints usually tend to be very fashionable so you wouldn’t like to wear a floral printed dress when floral prints are completely out of style.

So, let’s see how some beach dresses that never go out of style would look like. All of the beach dresses below are from Victoria’s Secret.

2012 Nails Fashion

January 15, 2012 – 5:58 pm

I’m always amazed when I see how excited  my boyfriend gets when he ‘plays’ with his ‘boy toys’ (bolts, hammers, etc.). Just a few days ago a friend of mine came to my place and she brought about 10 different colors of nail polish. We put all of them on the table and we were absolutely fascinated by the beautiful colors. My boyfriend came into the room and when he saw so many colors he just said ‘well, I guess you girls like this kind of stuff just as much we, men, like hammers’.  That’s so true! We love nail polish! But hey, let’s stick to the point (I actually have a point with my story).

2012 Nails fashion is tempered. Unfortunately, in 2012, as much as we, women, love nail polish, we can’t just do whatever crosses our minds. 2012 is not a ‘crazy’ year for nails. I’m saying that you can’t just go wild with your nails (at least not in 2012).

Alberta Ferretti ss2012

The most common and yet fashionable 2012 nail polish color is light beige or light pale pink. In fact, it isn’t the color that is important, the relevant thing is that, in accordance with 2012 fashion trends, nails have to look delicate and  cuticles must be carefully groomed.  You just can’t get delicacy with some green (or other crazy color) nail polish. Even red is not on the list of 2012 most favorites nails colors. Don’t forget that in 2012, nails must be short and professionally shaped with rounded corners (this is very important, because they have to look natural).

Also, in 2012, you will absolutely not use false nails, you will not have long nails and you will not paint your nails with some stupid design (or any design at all).

So, let’s sum up the most important 2012 nail trends:

  •  light beige / light pale pink color for the nail polish
  •  short nails
  •  professionally shaped nails (rounded corners)
  • carefully groomed cuticles
That’s it guys.  Just keep it simple and everything is going to be fine. 8)

Accessories Trends 2013 Fashion Forecast

January 10, 2012 – 5:22 pm

For the moment there isn’t much fuzz about the accessories trends for 2013. It seems that one sure thing you wouldn’t like to miss as an accessory in 2013 is the belt. Most of the 2013 outfits are underlined by elegant, sophisticated belts. The rest is history. Just the common things… a nice purse, a pair of gloves, an exquisite pair of sunglasses. You know the recipe. What I would like to add in this forecast about 2013 accessories trends is the fact that earrings, rings, jewelry mostly, are almost gone from the 2013 fashion scene. They are not completely gone, but jewels are not the most important accessories in 2013.

Don’t forget to read 2013 Fashion Forecast for more details on 2013 fashion trends. 8)

SPRING TRENCH 2012 – HOW IT LOOKS LIKE – HOW TO WEAR IT (WITH PICTURES)

January 4, 2012 – 8:17 am

2012 Spring is approaching rapidly and as I’ve many time before said, you can only wear a trench in spring. I’m lying in fact, you can also wear a jacket in spring, but leather materials are absolutely forbidden. So, what about trenches? They are elegant, always fashionable and classic. If you are a true lady, you can’t miss a trench out of your wardrobe.
2012 Spring fashion brings good news and bad news concerning trenches. The good news is that 2012 trenches keep the classic line, so there is no need to buy a new, up to date fashion trench for 2012. If you have one from last year, you can easily wear in 2012 as well. The bad news is that 2012 spring trenches are exclusively white.  If you happen to have a beige trench from past years, well, it won’t do the job in 2012 spring fashion.

Here are some key points for how a spring trench 2012 should look like:

  • The length of a trench in 2012 can vary a little bit up and down around the knee.
  • In 2012 you will not wear the trench with a belt, but, instead of it, you will use a string made from the same material as the trench is.
  • The 2012 trench must have a classic line.
  • It is imperative that the 2012 trench is WHITE.
