Re-inventing Your Image!

2010 is looking like a big year for fashion risks! So many little things can give big impact to your image. Fashion isn't just for models and photography anymore. We're seeing a lot of outrageous and couture looks being worn on more of a daily basis. Fashion is more than just clothes; it's hair, nails, make-up, shoes, but most importantly confidence. It takes confidence to pull of these bold looks; it's the confidence that makes others want to replicate it, not the look itself. Lady Gaga shows us how it's done.

What They Really Look Like!

Women are so hard on themselves. This day and age everyone is searching for the fountain of youth. We go through so much to portray this image that we are perfect. A lot of our need to feel or try and look perfect comes from the media and marketing of celebrities. Let up a little bit on yourself, no one is perfect. One of the most beautiful things about us is that we all have flaws. Even our most adored celebrities are just human when you take away the make-up and the entourage.

Here's an Idea!

February is the month of love. This Valentines Day make sure you look your best for that special someone. Don't forget to get your hair color touched up and your ends trimmed. Having a fresh manicure always makes a women feel feminine. Come in and try our new no chip axxium manicure that last 3 weeks. Instead of going with your typical red try a deep maroon or a pale pink.

Gold Mine~

Allure magazine has officially declared gold the color of the year. Previews of the spring 2010 runways verified this. So, be sure to add pops of gold to your wardrobe this year. Whether its a cute little clutch, a hot dress, or a pair of heels, gold is the color to choose.

Oh No!

Heidi Montag has been all over the news recently for her decision to get 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day. It saddens me to see her do this to herself. At only 23 the procedures have left Heidi looking fake, overdone, and older. This is not what we mean when we say try a new look for 2010.Start with just a simple change in hair color.

Whoa!

Hayden Panettiere was recently photographed as a red head. Hayden has channeled  her darker more mysterious side for 2010. Going from blond to red is a brave thing to do. If this is a transformation is something you think you are brave enough to do make sure you are not only committed to the up-keep but also ready for the change. She pulls it off well.

The Golden Globes

We don't need to say much about the illusion of this dress, it kind of speaks for itself. Christina Aguilera was one of the best dressed presenters at the Golden Globes this weekend. The Versace gown is gorgeous dont get me wrong but leave it to Christina to wear such a risk-ay dress.

Celebrity Secret

The secret is out. Want to know the secret the celebrities use to get the most out of their manicure? Celebrities like Beyonce are getting opi's new manicure called axxium. The technique uses a gel soak of polish that allows your nails to stay polished without chipping for two to three weeks. Every girl knows keeping your natural nails polished is really hard considering most polish chips after two or three days. Opi Axxium manicure is the answer you've been searching for.
