"TOP TWO"

MAKEUP    l    HAIR    l    NAILS

trends for spring 2013.

Whether you're a magazine reader, or fashion blog follower (like myself)...you've probably been inundated with "top trends" for the coming spring season.  Which, is hopefully here sooner than later!  As much a "Winnipeger" as I am, I can only handle the snow for so long...

That being said, I've been searching the web day&night for some spring fashion inspiration.  Hair, makeup and nails all play an equal part in your overall look.  Here's my top two in each category.

MAKEUP

dark glamour

Deep and rich shades, like bordeaux, on the lips seems to have be trending for a little while now.  But I am still IN LOVE with this look.  Who says we have to only wear these kind of shades in the fall?  I say we can totally carry them into spring...

going grunge

A lot of grunge makeup is softer on the face and focused on the eye.  Eyeliner is a key player, but try focusing on the lower lash line.  If you want to have it a little more subdued, use a brown liner and smudge it with some brown shadow and an angle brush.

HAIR

blow-out & 90's flip

Blow-out (aka blow-dry) AND 90's flip?  Shit, this look is TOO good to be true.

short with fringe

Fun & flirty.  Chopping your hair seems to be all the rage lately.  Adding just the right fringe can give you that much needed change you've been waiting for.

NAILS

subtle nail art

Sometime the tiniest little pop of colour is all you need.  Rather than doing that classic french, reverse and colour the half moon.  Contrasting colours will make it stand out even more.

mint condition

Seafoam and mint nail polishes are definitely two of my favourite colours.  A dear old friend of mine has been wearing mint for a long time now and instagrams a picture near anything else mint.  And voila, mint condition.  Actually quite genius.  Check her out @houseofelle

What are your top two?

magic monday- heart on

Who are your current hair-heroes? HEART, 1970s : Ann Wilson(right) and Nancy Wilson. Central Park, New York, USA.

Ann + Nancy Wilson of HEART, have forever been an inspiration to me.Not only are they one of the most ferocious sister duos in the history of all sisters, they can slay your heart through song. I mean, Magic Man? Come on now.

Since cutting bangs about a month ago, I've been looking to the Wilson sisters for a touch of hair-spiration, and as a result of countless hours spent in a youtube wormhole (watch this video to see how ann + nancy made robert plant cry), their Little Queen-era gypsy rock style has been heavily influencing my thrift buys as of late (how much black fringe does a girl really need?? am i really going to wear pointed, studded black boots with this silk kimono??)

In about a weeks time, I will be in the presence of these sublime sisters, and here's what I'll be doing to get the same sleek, rocker hair as the Wilson sisters are sporting. Start off by throwing in a bit of Body Guard to your damp hair will not only offer you a bit of heat protection, but it'll also help to smooth out any dry ends. After you've dried up your coif, throw in a few heavy, flat-iron curls. Spray with a hair spray (we like Session Spray or Glamour Queen) and SHAKE IT OUT! For any fly aways, try taming them down with a tiny touch of an anti-frizz cream, like Anti-Gravity. VOILA!!

Now for those super sexy lash-grazing bangs. NOTHING is better for your bang situation than the Freshair Dry Cleaning Spray. I repeat. NOTHING. I've struggled with bangs for years, and I'm now convinced it was because I didn't have this spray in my life. When your bangs are freshly washed and almost too clean, Freshair will give them a bit of extra grit and lift, which in turn takes them a bit off your forehead, thus avoiding greasy pizza face. Then, as the days wear on, a little spritz of this stuff will ensure that no questionable looks of 'did you just crawl out of an oil slick?' be directed towards you.
