Ashley Olsen look for less <$103

Ashley Olsen is one of the trendiest females in Hollywood. I personally prefer Ashley's style over Mary-Kate's, only because Ashley has a simpler style. I love the turban headband she's wearing, and the way she's mixing neutrals.

VICTORIA SECRET 2011



Victoria Secret this year my 4th year now was Definitely the best production by far, Kanye was joined by Jayz sent the crowd into Hysteria Great stuff.
Orlando was the key stylist was honored to be part of his team once again, he went for a beachy bed head option for the hair, using a surf spray and then drying into hair bring front perimeter forward, then spraying the hair with hairspray (l'oreal infinium no3) then using a 1 1/2 inc curling iron to get a Marcel wave leaving it to set then brushing out with the mason pierson... and styling to each girls look... 
<3 VS one day ill key this show :) 

Back & Forth Half-Up

Here is a hairstyle that is similar to The Switchback hairstyle that we did a while ago but it's done just a little differently.
Start by creating a small, off-centered part on the top of the head.  Comb the rest of the hair straight down. 
Start by working on the left side of the head.  Grab a section of hair from the part down to the left ear.
  Comb it around the back of the head and over to the right half.  (Make sure you don't go all the way to the right but that you stay on the back area of the head.)  Grab a loose section of hair from that right side and combine your combed section in with it.  Secure it with a small clear elastic. 
 Now move over to the right side of the head and section out an area from the part down to the right ear.  Comb that across the back and over the elastic to hide it.  Combine it with a small section of hair from the back-left side of the head and secure it with an elastic. 
 Now grab one final section from the left side - right behind the ear and pull it over that last elastic.  Comb it across the head and combine it with a final section of hair from the right side of the head.  (From just behind the ear.)  Secure it on the back-right side of the head with a small elastic and then pull a bit of the hair from the section above it down over that elastic to hide it. 
The rest of the hair can stay straight down or you can curl it.  It's a very simple, yet elegant hairstyle.

Lauren Conrad Look for Less <$98

Leather leggings are a trend I'm always scared to try but if I could pull it off as well as Lauren Conrad, I'd be willing to try it out! She has it paired so flawlessly with a tan blazer, tank and suede pumps. Maybe I should give leather leggings a shot?

Friday's Film: Hair Pin Tutorial

I've had a request for a video showing how to make the hair pins that we use in several of our hairstyles.  They are very simple, very fast, and very affordable to make.  You will need some unused hairpins or bobby pins, a glue gun, & a flower/notion/ribbon for your focal point.
I told you there were easy!
Here's a finished product from the one I made on the video.
They are so fast to make that I was able to finish all of these in about 30 minutes.  I make sure to always have multiples of the same kind because I use all of them in certain hairstyles.  (I found these cute little knitted flowers on Etsy.com and they were super cheap.)
Here are some other examples of pins that I've made.  (You may recognize some from hairstyles we've posted.)  I just keep them in these little craft boxes from Walmart and they stay nice and organized.
Here are just a few of the hairstyles we've used these in:

The Rose Bowl

Baptism Picture Hair

No Go Without A Bow

Pot O' Gold

Double Layered Bun
As you can see, there are lots of ways to use them and they look great in adults as well as kids! 
Happy hair pin making!
