Things To Embrace: Messy Hair

As a girl with long hair my hairdryer and straightener are among my best friends! However I often have days when I can think of nothing worse that using my trusted tools. I have embraced the messy look a lot lately. I am blessed or cursed (sometimes I can't decide) with a good natural kink/wave to my hair. I do have a few trusty products on hand to give it extra texture. I normally blast the front of my hair to give it a sleeker look. Once my hair is towel dried I pop a little bit of my fave serum into my hair, I love this one (HERE). I then use a surf spray, you have to be very light handed with this as it can give you a hard crispy look. For a texturized, messy wave I spray it into my hands and work it through my hair. My go to one is Bumble and Bumble. If i want a softer wave I have a bargain find that I swear by. It is this Boots Curl Creme, a little goes a long way with this. I rub it in the palm of my hands and then work it through the ends of my damp hair. Sometimes when my hair is almost dry, I lightly brush it through for a sleeker look. In about 1-3hrs , depending on the thickness of your hair, you will have on trend, messy hair!

..............I did!!!!

Style Icon: Christine Centenera

Christine Centenera, was Australian Harper's Bazaar fashion editor and is now Vogue Australia's newly appointed senior fashion editor, is also a celebrity stylist, street style icon and a great fashion mind behind Kanye West's clothing line. Often dressed in Hermes, Burberry, Celine and the rest of high class brand names, but at the same time wearing them in her own uncopiable way....did you hear that Kim Kardashian!!! 

Christine is not intimidated by matching oversized clothes with statement shoes. It's the opposite - she is in the minority of people who can pull it off! She loves her leather pants as much as I do, she's wearing them very often as a wardrobe essential, usually matched with fur and super high heels for ultimate glam outfits, while messy hair and slightly baggy items give her that effortless and fun but very chic look. Love, love, love! <3

She likes to keep it simple with basic colors in her wardrobe: black, white, nude and grey.Christine cane never be accused of looking plain, she spices up her outfits with huge designer sunglasses, statement jewelry and lots of studs. Check out some of her to die for looks below.

Fashion Inspiration: The Olsen Twins

Another of my inspirations are the beautiful Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley. You certainly can not accuse them of dressing like every other young Hollywood star! They have created their own style, going for high-fashion looks with an edgy, hippy look. Their daytime attire may be a tad "homeless chic" from time to time, but I admire their desire to be laid back and edgy. From their hippy unkempt hair, to the piled on gold vintage jewellery...I want it all!!! Their style is their own and one I adore!

Undone Bun

Hair crush of the day...."Undone Bun". Buns have been a trend for a while and one that I love! They are back in a big way in as a modern "undone" style bun. Personally I adore the messy bun scrapped right to the top of the crown, but it can be worn loose at the back or to the side. I think I will rock one of the high top, messy buns myself this week.

Fashion Inspiration: Nicole Richie

A big fashion inspiration for me is Nicole Richie. She oozes cool and hip no matter what she wears. Whether it is a pair of cut off denims and white t-shirt combo or a backless Haute Couture gown. Her style is clean, laid back, hippy, cool. Key to her look is a very simple outfit, giving loads of room to pile on the accessories. This is a look that she pulls of so well.  Sunglasses are a major part of her look...rain or shine get your classic large sunnies on and rock them!! To finish it off...think bed head. Thant unkempt, I just got out of bed hair is easy wear and looks great. Nicole Richie I salute you for your California cool!
