::Bob It

Bobs. I love Bobs.
Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Bob from biggest loser....Bobra Streisand, I mean...Barbara Streisand.

We may not want to admit this, but Barbara is the originator of the classic long bob that we see everywhere.

But don't you love it?

Those clean lines, those blunt lines...

Bobs with bangs, bobs with mess, bobs with color, bobs with shine,bobs with curl,bobs with wave,bobs with hats,bobs with red lips..bobs with puffy sleeves....

I am losing my mind!

If you are considering a new look, try on a bob for size.
 This classic cut looks good on EVERYONE.

I'm not kidding, a long bob flatters every face shape- adding bangs may not always flatter everyone, but adding a short and textured fringe, longer swept to the side or parted down the center-- easily makes a statement without doing much at all. (Your stylist can help determine what length/style of bang will suit you best)

DIY Hair::

What is it about Camilla Belle?
I mean, seriously?
Her perfect powdered skin, her undone but done lips, her subtle hazel gaze, or that every time you see her, she seems more beautiful than before. How is that possible?

Oh I know! It's that flawlessly tousled half up do that makes her look like the new girl next door.
Her hair.
Look at it.
LOOK at it again.

How EASY!

I know you all can do this at home!

This is what you need:

Hot roller set OR 1 inch curling iron and small clips
Flexible Hairspray
comb
Mason pearson (or like) soft boar bristle brush
hairbinder
bobby pins

Curl your hair with hot rollers or a curling iron set, spray with hairspray (10inches away), create a part in your hair, back comb (with the tight teeth end of the comb) small sections off your face and at your crown, brush over softly with mason pearson (like) brush, and pull front sections or half of your hair back loosely. Make sure to keep that tousled volume (from curl set and backcombing) for the WHO CARES feel. Spray again,and admire.

You will look just like her.

Pink Cheeks

It is that time of year where when you walk outside and the cool wind nips at your nose and bites at your cheeks.
 Don't you love that?
OR.
 Don't you love when you have color coordinated your scarf to your mittens and you happen to walk by a window and catch your adorable reflection? You are adorable, and not just because of your perfect winter wardrobe, but because you probably have a little more color in your skin than you are used to, and it isn't from baking in the sun.

 Its all cool, baby.

Let's be honest, everyone looks better with a little color to their skin, nobody likes looking pale and sickly.

I had a friend in school that would always slap and pinch her cheeks and I never understood what she was doing until I got a little older and realized her mother must have taught her that.
Her mother was brilliant.

If you don't like to wear much makeup, give your cheeks a little pinch for a natural rosy look.

AND.

If you do like to wear makeup, I love my Nars Multiple. I add it to my cheeks,lips and eyes for instant color!
