Hasta La Ideas

Side Swept Ponytail – An easy ‘do that’s flattering on all face shapes! Simply rub a few drops of sleeking serum into slightly damp hair, sweep hair to one side and gather loosely at the nape of the neck. Secure with an elastic band and a few pins in the back to keep hair in place (leave the front tousled for an effortless appeal). This look also words well as a loose braid!

Twisted Bun – This style is classy and clean! Add a pumps of a pliable hair mold to damp hair and grasp hair into a ‘ponytail’ at the nape of the neck. Gently twist hair until it naturally starts to turn in a circle. Loop hair around itself tightly and secure with an elastic band (two if you have longer hair!). Hide the ends by tucking them under and use a few bobby pins to secure. This look is also fun to adorn with silk flowers or a shiny headband!

Sleek High-Ponytail – A classic coif that gives sass to any ensemble. Simple use a few drops of sleeking serum and brush hair so that it is pulled back with no part. Gather hair tightly to at least the center of the head if not higher and secure with an elastic band, being sure that the front and back are smooth. Grab a section of hair (about to finger widths) and wrap it around the elastic to hide it, tucking and pinning the ends underneath to hide it. Add a few more drops of sleeking serum to smooth out flyaways!

‘Can luxury be exclusive and democratic at the same time? How can we translate the essence of luxury to a wider audience? The world around us is changing rapidly and I find myself asking these questions more and more. A designer’s work is usually tailored to a very small group of people, but the collection for H&M was about trying to translate the dream of luxury to the masses. It was almost like going back to school for me.’

Happily, school’s out come November 23rd when the collection hits stores – an array of his signature colorful, Parisian-glam frocks & accessories oozing playful joie de vivre, not to mention sporty classics & natty tuxedos – for daytime! – for Lanvin lovin’ fashionistos.

The Designer Scarf – Think iconic. Look for a scarf that is warm and durable, but that is also immediately recognizable as well. Burberry plaid, Gucci or Louis Vuitton monograms and others immediately let others know that it’s a high quality item, but are also versatile enough to pair with classic looks or casual styles. Wrap it around your neck and add instant luxe.

Leather Bag – There’s a lot of cute bags out there, but look for a high quality leather bag in a classic silhouette like a satchel or messenger bag. It makes toting your essentials around in style a cinch and is a bag that can be used with everything. Opt for a medium or large size for practicality, as well as a solid color like black or camel so that the look is timeless and extremely versatile.

Blazer – A designer blazer costs, but the structured, flattering fit is worth it. Look for a length that hits at high hip as extra short or long styles come and go through the seasons. Black, beige or pinstripe options are classic and go with almost anything from flowy dresses to jeans and a tee!

Short Black Boots – A high quality shoe is always worth the splurge. It’s better for your feet, much more comfortable and definitely durable. While pop colors are fun, every season has a new ‘it’ color, but black stays as a versatile staple. A short ankle boot matches just as many looks as a pump, but gives an added touch of edginess.

Cashmere Sweater – It’s warm, soft and not as chunky as wool versions, making it a great layering piece or a flattering sweater when worn on it’s own. Pair it with leggings or dark jeans, or for even more style cred, try thigh high socks and shorts!

Who even knew this existed or was possible, but through the wonders of 21st century technology, you can be the proud owner of a staple-free stapler! Yes, you heard us correctly. This stapler doesn’t need staples to keep your papers together. It punches a hole through your papers and creates a tab that slides through all the stack and keeps everything together. Genius!
