Ashely Greene looks chic and extremely modelesque in her leather skirt and silk, ruffle top combo. Although I am not a huge fan of the leopard print petticoat, I do think Ashley total confidence in this outfit and is looking picture perfect. The bet thing about Ashley's outfit, besides her lovely leather skirt, has to be the unique color scheme. It is very rare to see anyone rocking a burnt orange color which in actuality is similar to wearing a nude/neutral color. It can be paired with just about anything. The color looks especially amazing against tan skin, but it still works for everyone wether your pale or dark. Take a little bit of a color risk in yout outfit by trying out burnt orange, remember to it as a neutral!

Fashion 101: Ombre Clothing



Naya Rivera
Ombre is everywhere from hair to nails and now clothing! I love the colorblocking trend, but I definitely see myself and many other fashionistas turning to an ombre clothing trend. Naya Rivera's black, blue, and white ombre dress is beautiful and I love how it amps up a typical dress style into so much more. Any color scheme could work with ombre such as pink to white oor even red to yellow. Ombre outfits can be created with different clothing pieces as well. Try pairing a white shirt with a colored bottoms and dark shoes or vice versa. An ombre outfit is very unique because it is such a contrast to colorblocking and much newer. Try it out and experiment with different fashion looks,

Hair 101: Marilyn Monroe Curls

Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe's hair was always perfectly coiled into big, bouncy curls that look super soft. Of course they did not have a million flat iron and curling iron options back in Marilyn's day so the next best thing was the roller set which is actually much better for the hair compared to a hot tool. However in this time when a roller set is mentioned a person's brain immediately thinks of a poodle-like hairdo or an old lady, but there are lots of ways to prevent that from happening. Learn how to get beautifully curls with lots of body and bounce just like Marilyn's with these tips!
  • Don't use too small rollers! Large or medium size rollers work best for creating looser curls.
  • Never use a brush or comb on the curls, finger combing is best so that frizz is prevented.
  • Make the rollers go a little sideways to prevent all the curls from flipping under and/or upwards.
  • Make sure you wait for the hair to cool off before removing the hair rollers.
  • Let the curls fall on their own a bit before using in hairspray or lots of finger combing.
One of the newer roller set kits I have seen would have to be the Conair Xtreme Instant Heat™ . I have never used the product personally and I am not sponsored or affiliated by Conair, but I can say I have see many videos of people using the product and lots of positive reviews. These hot rollers are for girls on the go which is pretty much every girl.
