How-to for Golden Globe Hairstyles!
This year on the carpet there were a lot of loosely pulled back up-do's. They are meant to look soft and effortless, while still looking elegant and chic. Here are some tips on how to get that effortless hollywood hairstyle! (Tips derived from Vogue.co.uk's Ian Carmicheal along with my own)
 |
Amy Adams |
Get the look by parting hair on the side and blow-drying the hair smooth and using large heated rollers or large-barrel curling iron to add wave and movement. Loosely pull the hair back and twist the hair into a low bun, securing with grips, taking care to leave loose sections at the front to frame the face and add softness. Finish with a medium hold hairspray so as to not lose movement. Remember the curls are supposed to be loose, so don't pull the curls in too tight!

Angelina Jolie |
Get this look by parting hair on the side, and blow-dry hair with a large barrel brush and fasten large rollers on random sections to create loose, flowing waves (mostly in frontal sections). Use large barrel brush to flip bangs up and away from face, giving a slightly feathered bang. Finish with a medium hold hairspray.

Eva Longoria |
 |
January Jones |
Get January's look by applying volumising mousse to damp hair for added lift, and after parting hair to the side, blow-dry hair in sections with a large barrelled brush, curling the ends under as you go. For more effective curls, use large rollers to curl in the ends and brush out when dry. Finish with a shine serum for a super-glossy effect.
 |
Lea Michelle |
Get this look by doing an extreme side-part, and using a small curling iron throughout dry hair to add slight movement and softly backcomb the hair from the back of the ears. Tease into place at the back, and gather into a pleat or bun, leaving sections at the front to hang free. The key to this effortless 'do is keeping it unstructured and relaxed. Finish with medium hold hairspray.
 |
Milla Jovovich |
Get the look yourself using heated rollers to create volume, before brushing through with a round barrel brush and pinning the hair to one side (parting hair on opposite side with extreme side-part). Tease the hair into large waves with your fingers and fix with strong-hold hairspray.
 |
Mila Kunis |
Tip dry hair upside down and spray with a root-lifting product then backcomb from the front to the crown to create height and volume. Fasten into a pouf with pins, allowing the finish to remain rough and textured. Twist into a bun or french twist. Finish with stong-hold hairspray.

7 Ways to Wear a Scarf!
I'm not sure about all of you, but I've been under the weather all week and it's probably largely because I am underdressed walking around in the cold winter air. This video was shown to me by a friend, and I think it's great! The girls show 7 different ways to tie a scarf to suit your style and to help you stay warm this winter! After the video I have also featured several different styles of scarves and where to get them! Enjoy!
Circle Scarf- American Apparel in "Cream"
Price: $34.00
This scarf comes in 46 colours! It is somewhat similar to the circle scarf shown in the video, and there are even more ways to wear it (all are shown on the AA website with different pictures and videos). This piece is a must.
Hooded Scarf- French Connection in black/white pattern
Price: $29.99 (On Sale from $48.00)
This Scarf is great for winter time with its large hood and scarf to keep you nice and warm. It is made completely of acrylic, and the pattern is different but not too loud- so you can wear it with almost anything!
Ruffled Edge Scarf- ModCloth in Plum
Price: $34.99
I have a very similarly styled scarf in black from H&M. I love the ruffled edges, because no matter which way you wrap it, it looks so elegant and effortless. I love simply wrapping it loosely around my neck several times, but with that much fabric there are so many variations to work with!
Fringed Shawl/ Scarf- ModCloth in Mocha
Price: $39.99
This fringed scarf is perfect, because not only can you use it as a scarf, but you can use it as a shawl as well (and it looks great with a skinny belt at the waist!). Unfortunately this garment was so popular it is currently sold out on ModCloth, but if you can find a similar style, that's all you need! ModCloth frequently brings popular items back as well, so keep your eye out.
Let me know what you think of these "how to" posts. I think they are great for giving people new ideas on how to wear certain items, or even how to do certain hair/ make-up tricks. I am thinking of doing a few of my own "how-to" instructional videos. I aim to please, so let me know what you want to see!
