New Year’s Style

December 31, 2009

I don’t have a fancy party on the agenda this new year’s eve, but if I did I’d be wearing something like this:

nye-outfit

I love the subtle sexiness of the dress and the little bit of glitz that is added by the gold accessories.

Dress: DVF – This dress is kind of pricey but simple enough that it would more than pay for itself.

Shoes: Paris Hilton – I love the bow detail on these shoes as well as the pink soles.

Bag: Jessica McClintock – This clutch is wallet friendly, which is nice since I rarely have a need for one.

Earrings: Isharya – These are big and fancy, perfect for New Year’s.

Winter Frizzies

December 12, 2009

Because I have fine hair I get tons of static in the winter. The dry winter air makes my hair frizz and fly-away and stick to my face and other unruly shenanigans. It always takes me a few days to get it under control but I do manage. Here is my list of things to help combat dry staticy hair.

Be sure to condition extra well. If you already condition every day then try a leave-in version or use a deep conditioning treatment once a week.

Get a humidifier. Put some much needed moisture back in your home’s air. This will help with dry winter skin too. It also helps with that annoying static shock you get all winter.

Touch your hair as little as possible throughout the day. The more you run your fingers through it or brush it, the more static you are putting in it.

Also don’t blast the heater in your car. It just strips the air of all moisture and pumps it full of ions. Not good if your hair is already standing on end.

That’s just a few things I do to get my frizzies under control. Good luck.
