Hair 101: The Versatility of a Ponytail

Selena Gomez

Keep it simple, causal, and voluminous with a pretty pony like Selena Gomez! Try curling your hair then smoothing it up into a ponytail or keep it even simpler by using your natural hair texture. Make it your own by deciding how high or low you want the ponytail to go and even add in some hair accessories.

Kiernan Shipka

Side ponytails add more fun to the everyday ponytail. Try a cute ponytail like Kiernan Shipka's by smoothing hair to the side, even adding a bit of a side bang. Leave out a small section of the hair, secure the bigger section with a ponytail holder. Then wrap the smaller section of hair around the ponytail holder. Add some extra fun by curling the ends of the ponytail.

Emma Roberts

Slicked back ponytails are perfect for more formal occasions while still being able to stay casual. Simply use a serum to make your hair slick and smooth so that it will easily stay sleek and chic all day. Only slick your hair back in the direction the ponytail will go, whether high or low. Spice it up by adding a defined part or even simple hair accessories.

Summer Series: Vacay Packing



Emma Roberts

I don't know about you, but I'm going on vacay, woo-hoo! Dreaming of vacation and all the things you plan to do is alway fun, but the not so fun part is packing. Not matter what it is a hassle deciding what and what not to bring, especially since it's not good to carry thousands of bags. Of course you need the basics such as toothbrush/paste, undies, pj's, etc., but how much "other" stuff do you need? Here's some tips about figuring out exactly what to bring.

1. Create Outfits! Putting together outfits before hand help to lighten the load and keep your bags organized. It's okay to bring more tops than bottoms, but make sure there are mix and match outfits between everything.
2. 2 Go To Shoes! Bring a pair of tennis shoes and a pair of sandals as essentials. If you must brings heels or flip flops to go to the beach, bring them! Just remember sandals are always comfty and tennis shoes are good in all types of situations.
3. Inexpensive jewelry! Never bring expensive jewelry, tour favorite jewelry, or anyting that will get you bent out of shape if you lose it. Try bringing neutral accessories that go with anything in a box so they will all stay together.
4. Make-up bag! Only bring your must have make-up, not your whole collection. All you need if you must wear make-up is mascara, lip gloss/chapstick, and foundation.
5. A small purse! A small purse is best for vacation, it can carry your money and personal items. A big bag contains too many things and only weighs you down.

Miley Cyrus

High waisted shorts are a HOT trend for summer and now that they have become so popular it is hard to make them stand out. The shorts are becoming more and more popilar because they throw a retro twist onto what has become the new modern "short shorts". High waisted shorts work for just about anyone and give the body a small waist and an hourglass shape. Emma Roberts gives high waisted shorts a girly chic look by pairing them with a sheer, flowy blouse and black peep toe heels. Adding girly touches like the sheer blouse and a nice handbag make a pair of denim shorts into an amazing outfit. Selena Gomez takes high waisted shorts into a summer-y vibe by wearing them in a starfish print with a midriff bearing top. The nude heels lengthen her legs and although the look is bold and daring, Selena is still rocking the look with confidence! Miley Cyrus goes hipster and casual with the look by taking a loose rock tee and tucking it into her short. The flats, jean jacket, and round sunglasses give the look fashion power!
