No more dark washed jeans; that trend is over! Dive into XXL jeans that are playful but large in proportions. Extra roomy wide-legged jeans paired with cocoon-like capes is the hot trend I observed at Milan fashion week. This trend can be worn very fashionably in a variety of different ways, both casually and formally.

In Fashion News: The fashion industry has been buzzing with excitement about musician and fashion icon Pharrell Williams becoming the co-owner of G-Star Raw, a brand that has launched several new denim lines. I’m partial to Don’t Cry Milan – a denim brand that is made in Italy. It is trendy, feminine and sexy.

The oversized tone-on-tone double denim trend is a must try! Double denim — also known as denim on denim — is simply the act of mixing and matching different denim pieces to create a head-to-toe denim outfit. Here are some of my favorites.

Oversize denim isn’t the only trend of the season- denim is making a strong comeback in many ways. Jeans and trenches with stripes and patches created by technical patchwork is also in trend. Fashion bloggers and fashionistas should definitely embrace this new trend in edgy yet sensible fashion.

A woman’s hair frames her face like a beautiful frame does for a picture. When your hair looks good, you feel good and at your most beautiful.

So, how do you select the perfect hairstyle for yourself? Do you stick to what’s trendy? Or, do you engage in countless hair experiments until you get lucky?

Hmm…both choices can be a bit risky (and could haunt you forever).

by Prestige Artist Zulema.

There’s an endless selection of hairstyles and trends you can choose from. However, to find the perfect hairstyle that suits your face and hair-type it is best to consult with a knowledgable professional.

In the meantime, let’s start with how certain hairstyles become trends, and why sometimes trends should be avoided.

Beauty magazines, television shows, films and blogs are all dedicated to imposing hair, makeup and fashion trends on you. They are all about “What’s In, “What’s Out”, “This Rule”, “That Rule” blah, blah, blah! The truth is, all new trends are stolen, or inspired by “street-style”.

Street-walkers, and passers-by are the best “Muses”! It is really extraordinary! You can just sit and watch person after person walk down the street and observe the most varied personal styles, and unique forms of fashionable expression from people just being themselves.

However, that being said, “street-style” hairstyles are often mistakes spawned from “do it yourself attempts” at real trends. Unfortunately these homemade attempts at “hair trends” have lead to what’s now called “fashionable accidents”. These hair nightmares are eventually embraced as hairstyle-trends and imposed on society. I say, please God, make it stop!

For example, the popular coloring technique called the “shatush” is a prime example of “do it yourself” gone wrong! This style consists of hair that is bleached on the bottom and darker on top. This “do it yourself” color mishap became a fashion hair craze that all women fell in love with. Ok, I admit, I fell in love with it too, then I came to my senses.

 

 

Let’s stop perpetuating massive hair mistakes, and start launching hair trends based on correct styling techniques that are not regretful, or hazardous to the hair!
So ladies, (and gentlemen) let’s begin by saying goodbye to the “shatush”. Let’s embrace new, and correct color trends that don’t kill the hair, but are still fun and darling!

For example, let’s show some love to the professional creations called the”bronde”, the”flanboyage” and the “surfer strand”. I know you maybe thinking, the huh?! The what?! I know, the names are regrettably weird, but these new hair color trends are un-regrettable trends you can love forever!

These new professionally concocted free-style hair colors are spawned from your natural haircolor, enhanced by added highlights made from mixed colors, without the use of bleach. This technique creates brilliant shadows and a supernatural effect. The result is ” beautiful hair made simply “.

Haircolor that’s mixed with warm tones, as seen above, will give hair a more natural look. This color technique will help you achieve a healthier more desirable look. Over time the haircolor will fade away naturally by routine shampooing and by sun exposure. Hence maintaining your natural beauty while the color fades away without looking like a chemically altered bleach victim.

 

For more hair advice ask me anything. My mission is to save you from horrible trends, one person at a time :-) .

 

Cheers!

If your struggling to loose weight or just stay in shape, but you don’t want to revert to tasteless boring diet food this is the article for you!

Here are the 9 best guilt-free snacks that you can eat without fear of weight gain.

Your welcome :-)

-S. Lenore

 

 

SEAWEED SNACKS

Seaweed snacks will conquer your salty craving and it’s very low in calories. Seaweed is loaded with lots of nutrients, including minerals such as magnesium and calcium. Seaweed snacks are metabolism-boosting and rich in iodine, which helps boost thyroid function. With their light olive oil coating, they’re just greasy enough to satisfy that hankering for potato chips.

 

 

 

 

If you have a weakness for chocolate now you can indulge your craving without hesitation by drinking chocolate milk – just make sure it’s with almonds.

With more calcium than cow’s milk, and only two grams of carbs, this is a chocolate drink you can enjoy with no calorie guilt. Warm it up and add a cinnamon stick for some extra zest—plus, the cinnamon helps to decrease the appetite.

 

 

CUCUMBER OR JICAMA SLICES

Sometimes veggies really do the trick! Thanks to their high water content, cucumbers and the slightly lesser-known jicama make a totally refreshing, crunchy snack. Both of these healthy snacks will also kill bloating.

For a little zing, add some sea salt and chili flakes to the cucumbers. Or have the jicama with some lime juice and cinnamon to bring out its natural sweetness. (For those unfamiliar jicama is tastes a lot like a mild pear.)

 

 

AIR-POPPED POPCORN

Butter-less popcorn is an empty carb but you can still reap the benefits from it’s very low calorie count! For an even healthier snack try popped sorghum which is slightly higher in wholesome grain.

 

 

 

FREEZE-DRIED APPLES

This has become a popular snack within the fashion industry! By snacking on freeze-dried apples you’ll satisfy your craving for sweets while getting some magnesium, which is great for stress.

 

 

 

 

PICKLES

Grabbing a pickle after a particularly vigorous workout can have many health benefits and help curb cravings. If you sweat a lot, the salt contained in pickles may be just be what your body needs to replenish itself. Plus, they’re salty and crunchy, nailing two cravings at once—with almost no calories.

 

 

 

TURKEY JERKY

For the meatheads—you can get your guilt-free fix too.

Aside from the mouthwatering smokiness, turkey jerky provides a pack of protein unrivaled by any other snacks on this list. Turkey jerky helps to lay down lean muscle – just make sure it’s nitrite-free because dried packaged meats tend to be chocked full of preservatives.

 

 

 

KOMBUCHA

If you tend to crave the sweet and fizzy stuff step away from the diet soda and try Kombucha instead.

You can find this drink at almost any grocery store or bodega, and it is actually good for you! The fermentation gives you a great dose of healthy bacteria which can helps with digestion, and soothes the stomach. It’s yummy and it’s made with stevia instead of sugar.

 

 

 

GRAPE TOMATOES

If your looking for something virtually mess-proof, easy to pack, and void of any offending smells, look no further than these healthy little nuggets. You can pop ‘em like candy, without all the sugar and you’ll burn more calories eating these than they actually contain. Grape tomatoes are packed with vitamin C, zinc, and lycopene, these all antioxidants that will keep the skin dewy and bright. Lycopene also helps intensify the skin’s natural barrier to the sun.
