Celebrity Inspiration for Special Occasion Hair

By -
Hair isn't really my thing. My m.o. lately has been to cram a hat on my head before popping out the door. Not surprisingly, when I have an event coming up, I frequently scramble at the last moment trying to figure out my hair. My standard is to do the opposite of my daily routine. Taylor Swift, famous for her curly locks, has provided a few examples of that lately by straightening her tresses for big occasions.

She's not the only celebrity who's been letting her hair down lately. It seems most women at awards shows this year went for loose locks with casual waves. That can be fine if you normally wear your hair up, but I do like a little more effort for a night out. Reese Witherspoon and Dianna Agron amped up this style simply by pulling it away from their faces. Reese with a headband and retro bump and Dianna with a diamond pin.

A good hair accessory can enliven even a lack-luster hair style. (It's also a great idea for short hair.) Hillary Swank's teased chignon isn't anything to write home about, but the beautiful crystal and enamel pin makes it special. If you don't want to add another ounce of jewelry, try a braided bun a'la Mandy Moore. (Perfect for dancing the night away at prom or your friend's wedding!)

Taylor Swift's hair makes me look like a monster that came out of a sewer. Great example though! :)

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
