Spring in to Summer




The gloomy winter period is well behind us, and we are nearing the long sunny days of summer. Hoorah! I found the above vintage pic and thought it looked like the most idyllic setting - so it became the inspiration of this week’s article.

We want to make sure you’ve got a spring in your step as you enter the glorious season of sunshine, so we’ve put together a few tips to brighten up your insides and outsides and make sure you’re alive and kicking, happy, healthy and ready for summer.

Hair
Brighten up your complexion with the right hair colour and cut. 

Add a big dose of radiance to your appearance, by choosing a hairstyle that compliments your face shape and highlights your best features. When it comes to colour opt for a hair hue that flatters and illuminates your complexion. For tips on fitting cuts read our article on face shapes, and for complementary hair colours, check out our skin tone article.


Skin
Brighten up your skin with a good scrub and condition.

Exfoliating two to three times a week (less if you have dry or sensitive skin) will do wonders for your skin. By removing dead skin cells you will uncover the glowing new cells beneath, as well as revitalize cell renewal, boost circulation and give your complexion a smooth, fresh appearance. Following exfoliation, replenish and rehydrate your skin with a quality moisturiser to keep your skin soft and supple. As the summer sun intensifies, make sure you invest in a moisturiser with SPF protection to shield your skin from UV damage.


Fitness
Brighten up your body with a health dose of movement.

The winter months can be less than motivating when it comes to regularly exercising, but with the magnificent golden ball of heat and light now high in the sky it’s time to get outside and get moving! Not only is regular exercise important for weight control and general health, it’s also a key component for improving your mood, your energy levels and your sleep patterns. Choose to stay fit and limber by simply scheduling regular walks or bike rides through your local park. Why not try a Pilates or yoga class too…There’s even the option of a boot camp if you’re brave enough!

Nutrition
Brighten up your insides and outsides with fresh, whole foods.

You are what you eat! What goes in your mouth determines the state of your vital organs as well as your skin and hair. To cultivate and maintain a healthy, happy body inside and out choose to eat a well-balanced diet full of fresh, colourful whole foods (with the addition of occasional sweet treats of course!). Pack your daily feasting full of nutrient-rich foods like nuts (zinc, protein, omega-3 fatty acids), legumes (biotin, zinc, iron), leafy greens (vitamins A and C), berries (Vitamins A, C and E), eggs (protein) and seafood (essential fatty acids, protein, iron, B vitamins), to ensure your body receives the essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants it needs to stay in mint condition.

Happy summer days to you and yours!

Spring - the season of new and renewed Part 1

[gallery link="file"]



 

Part 1: Refreshing your body, inside and out.

As the winter frosts slowly begin to melt away and the hours of sunshine gradually increase, we can finally start preparing for summer and celebrate the wonder that is Spring! We’re not there just yet, but we’re so close and it’s exciting to see the green leaves and blossom starting to emerge!

In light of the new season, let’s consider giving ourselves a little spring-clean! There’s nothing better to do in the season of new and renewed beginnings than REFRESH and REVIVE with a good clean, a bit of clear out and a few touch ups or modifications. Whether it be a room, your house, your garden, your wardrobe, your body or your hair – it’s time to recharge and rejuvenate!

Over the next 2 weeks, we’re giving you a few tips to help you spruce yourself up for spring and the coming season of sunshine!

This week: Refreshing your body, inside and out. Next week: Revamping and pampering your look.

What’s going in?
The most effective way to keep your body healthy, your skin youthfully supple, and your hair silky strong is with a well-balanced diet of fresh, colourful, whole foods packed with essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants! A few essential foods to help keep your body, skin and hair looking and feeling fabulously fresh are:


  • NUTS- packed with necessary nutrients such as zinc, protein and omega-3 fatty acids

  • BERRIES- nature’s candy filled with powerful antioxidants Vitamins A, C and E

  • LEGUMES- power-foods injected with biotin, zinc and iron

  • FISH- a must for essential fatty acids (omega 3’s, 6 and 9) as well as protein, iron and B vitamins.

  • Also, don’t forget to hydrate your body - and thus your skin – by drinking eight to twelve glasses of water a day.


Get Fit
Regular exercise is key to staying happy, healthy and full of energy. Not only does exercise help control your weight, it also helps prevent high blood pressure, improves your mood and can lead to a better night’s sleep. There is no negative to exercise! Keeping fit and limber is as easy as going for regular 30 minutes walks with a friend, enjoying a bike ride or stretching out in a Pilates class. Get moving!


Skincare regime refresh
Replenish and restore your skin by refreshing your skincare regime:


  • CLEANSING and TONING are vital steps, which unclog pores and prevent blemishes, by ensuring the removal of make-up, dirt and excess oil (make sure to use a hydrating cleanser in accordance with your skin type).

  • Regular EXFOLIATION will revitalize cell renewal, boost circulation, prevent oil build-up and give your complexion a smooth, renewed appearance (no need to scrub too hard though).

  • REHYDRATE your skin daily with a quality facial and body moisturiser to help keep your skin soft and supple. –apply immediately after showering for the best results.

  • Take the opportunity to clear out your make-up bag too - old mascara, foundation and make-up sponges can accumulate harmful bacteria.


Start your spring-clean this week, and look out for next week's 'Revamping and pampering your look.'

Ch ch ch ch changes!

Celebs are often sighted for their dramatic haircuts whether it be for a specific role or quite simply because they feel like a change. Drastically modifying your hairstyle can be extremely daunting, but also surprisingly liberating!

A new season is a great excuse for giving your hair-do a bit of a makeover - but we’re not just talking weather wise. If you’re embarking on a new job, a new age or merely purchasing a new dress – consider the additional revamp of a distinctive statement haircut too!

You may have found a defining look that works for you, and like Jennifer Aniston – you should stick to it. But if you’re game, it can be fun and refreshing to experiment with different hairstyles and cuts.

Here are some of the impressive and daring transformations that have really worked! Be inspired and consider making a ch ch ch ch change….

This year the beautiful Anne Hathaway chopped her tresses uber short for her role as Fantine in the movie-version of Les Miserables. Although she was initially reduced to “inconsolable” tears as long hair was cut to inch-length, Ms. Hathaway seems to be “quite pleased” with her new look – and we must agree. Her crop chop really accentuates her stunning eyes. We just love it!

After wrapping up filming of the final Harry Potter movie, Emma Watson made the bold move of cutting her shoulder-length locks into a super sweet pixie cut. This statement move, marked the beginning of her adult career which included becoming the face of beauty giant LancĂ´me. We think Emma’s shorter hair really suits her - it’s super sophisticated yet sassy!

Keira Knightley has reformed her hair many times over. In 2005, she went from long wavy tresses to a choppy blonde crop. In 2009 her locks were back to shoulder length with a thick blunt fringe. But we absolutely love the short Sassoon-style bob Keira started rockin’ in 2011.

After donning long chocolate locks, Natalie Portman shaved it all off for her role in V For Vendetta in 2005. Shocking you could say - but let’s be honest, with a face like that you can get away with just about anything! Ms. Portman pulled off a stunning short crop as her hair grew out, but she’s stuck to luscious long hair since then.

Get the look: Diane Kruger's chic and sassy summer braid

[caption id="attachment_737" align="aligncenter" width="320" caption="Image courtesy of Smarter.com"][/caption]

 

When you’re in a rush but you need to look slick for a meeting, lunch date or evening out, it’s always handy to have a few go-to hairstyles up your sleeve. Diane Kruger’s relaxed side-laden plait is one to add to the list - it exudes both feminine elegance and bohemian glam.

Braids are a great choice for creating an instant statement style without having to rely on assorted hair-stylers and products. As well as being super on-trend this season, plaits are also a great option for protecting your hair from sun and heat damage.

Diane’s braided beauty is reasonably easy to fashion and provides a versatile, carefree style, perfect for hitting the beach or attending a fancy summer soiree.

Emulate the look by following these simple steps:

  1. Roughly blow wave your hair for volume and texture. Run a matte styling product through your locks for added texture and hold.

  2. Create a deep side parting to form 2 sections.

  3. Braid a French plait down each side of your head, beginning just in front of your ears.

  4. Create your French plaits by taking a small section of hair and parting it into 3 equal sections. Commence with a regular English braid and slowly draw portions of hair into the left and right strands.

  5. Continue this process until the plaits meet at the nape of your neck.

  6. Join the loose ends from both braids together and then section the hair in two.

  7. Create a fishtail braid by taking a small piece of hair from underneath one of the sections and wrapping it around and over to join the second section.

  8. Reset your hands, so you’re always holding two sections and repeat process with the other section.

  9. Continue taking small portions of hair from under one section and transferring them over to the other section, until your braid is finished. Secure with a hair-tie.

  10. Conceal your hair-tie by wrapping a small piece of hair around it.

  11. Lightly tug the edges of your braid to create a wider, fuller looking plait.


For a slightly easier version, simply weave a loose English braid that rests over your shoulder, leaving wavy strands to frame your face.

Don’t worry too much about making it perfect – the tousled carefree look is all part of the charm.

Wash 'n' wear cuts for summer

Giving your hair a break from styling tools (and possibly even products) is always a good thing, and in this day and age, the more precious seconds you can save the better right? At the same time, you don't want to have to trade looking-good for more time on the clock - and neither do you have to!

In the 1960’s famed British hairdresser, Vidal Sassoon transformed the hair industry with his pioneering “wash and wear” philosophy that dubbed him “the Chanel of hair.” He revolutionised hair-art by creating cuts that give the illusion of endless styling, but are in fact extremely low maintenance.

Summer calls for easy breezy carefree hairstyles that make you feel fabulous and look great – naturally. We've chosen 3 classic Vidal-inspired cuts that - as well as being super versatile and simple to maintain - are effortlessly chic and a little bit edgy!

Short and Sweet

Taking cue from Mia Farrow’s “Rosemary’s Baby” pixie cut, Michelle William’s soft and feathered crop really puts your bone structure in the spotlight. This strong but feminine style is a no-fuss cut that requires minimal styling.

The Mod Bob 

Nancy Kwan’s inverted bob was first made famous in the sixties, but it’s made a comeback with A-listers such as Keira Knightley, sporting the super elegant style. Drawing focus to your eyes and cheekbones, this uber chic cut with it’s voluminous flair, is a guaranteed showstopper!

Fancy Free!

Jean Shrimpton worked it in the sixties and Alexa Chung is rocking is now! With a choppy fringe and layers that frame the face, this longer cut works particularly well for hair that has a natural wave. It creates a textured and carefree, layered style that looks fantastic - slick and straight or tousled and wavy.

Summer hair care

[caption id="attachment_619" align="aligncenter" width="489" caption="Image courtesy of She Knows"][/caption]

The summer months have finally arrived! The days are longer, the sun is higher and the summery warmth is setting in. It’s time for summer soirees and basking in the golden light at the beach, lake or poolside.

But for all its benefits, the summer season can take its toll on your hair. Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from the sun and water in order stay healthy and hydrated. As well as the sun’s heat and resulting humidity, your hair is exposed to salty seawater and the chlorine in pools. These summer charms can damage your tresses leaving them dry, brittle and discoloured.

Here are a few essential tips, to avoid damaging your locks and maintain healthy hair while enjoying the rays this summer:

Give heat the cold-shoulder
With all the heat your hair will be getting from the sun, try to take a break from hot stylers (hairdryer, curling and straightening irons). Air-dry your hair (with rollers for added volume) or consider a new “wash and wear” haircut that will air-dry in style. Help combat potential frizzy hair and limit the amount of sun reaching your locks, by sweeping your hair back in a high pony, low bun, or braided arrangement (dry your hair in braids for natural beach-worthy waves.)

Shield your hair from the water and rays
Intensive moisturising will help you avoid dry, brittle, frizzy hair. Replenish and maintain moisture, with regular deep conditioning treatments. Book a treatment at Wellbeing, give yourself a hair mask or use a quality leave-in conditioner (especially when sunbathing or swimming). As well as hydrating your hair, keep your body hydrated with eight to twelve glasses of water a day – it’s good for your hair and your health!

Cover up
Your hair can get sunburnt just like your scalp. Prevent sun damage by slipping on a super cute sunhat or headscarf, when you’re going to be in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. As well as protecting your head and hair, hats and head wraps are a quick fix on bad hair days for effortless style (check out our guide to wearing headscarves).

Rinse well
After swimming, make sure you give your hair a good rinse (ideally a shampoo and condition too) to wash away the salt and chlorine trapped in your tresses.

Take care
Prevent split ends by making sure you don’t over-brush your hair. Try to restrict your combing to before and after showering (carefully untangle knots – no need to tug too hard).

Stay trim
Dry hair leads to frizzies and split ends. Make sure you have your locks trimmed every six to eight weeks to rid your hair of damaged ends.

Inspiration for your spring and summer soirees

We just love a good gala event for surveying the hottest trends of the red carpet. The world-renowned Festival de Cannes, not only boasts the latest and greatest films of 2012, but also hosts some of the world’s most esteemed celebrities and their fashion-forward flair.

As we head into the season of soirees and BBQs, we’ve taken cue from Cannes and collated a few of our favourite looks from the gala as inspiration for your party and evening style lookbook…


















[caption id="attachment_542" align="aligncenter" width="200" caption="Image courtesy of Vogue UK"][/caption]


Eva Longoria donned an edgy retro beehive - a super trendy look this season. Her smoky eyes and bronze beige highlighting complete her dramatic but fresh look.



[caption id="attachment_540" align="aligncenter" width="200" caption="Image courtesy of Vogue UK"][/caption]


At the Killing Them Softly premiere, Diane Kruger was simply elegant. Her high chignon bun was modest chic, and her subtle smoky eyes and rosy lips made for a fabulously feminine ensemble. 



[caption id="attachment_539" align="aligncenter" width="200" caption="Image courtesy of Vogue UK"][/caption]


We absolutely loved Marion Cotillard at the screening of her film Rust & Bone. She was belle-of-the-ball perfection with a polished feature bun bejewelled with a dainty floral chain. Her porcelain complexion with defined eyes, flushed cheeks and matte berry lips completed her look.



[caption id="attachment_541" align="aligncenter" width="200" caption="Image courtesy of Vogue UK"][/caption]


With classic, vintage curls loose around her shoulders, Lana Del Rey looked both sultry and sophisticated. Her cat-eye eyeliner was clean and classy, and her porcelain complexion and natural lip colour proved that sometimes less in more! 



[caption id="attachment_544" align="aligncenter" width="186" caption="Image courtesy of HJI"][/caption]


Kirsten Dunst was ‘pretty and bright’ at her photo call for On The Road. Her super sweet milkmaid spin-off was picture perfect with loosely pinned-up curls and a darling tiara adorned with roses and pearls. 


[caption id="attachment_545" align="aligncenter" width="200" caption="Image courtesy of Glamour UK"][/caption]

Diane Kruger really suits old Hollywood glamour doesn’t she?! Her simple half-up, half-down style at the Cannes premiere of Amour was vamped up with a side-swept wave that was just divine! (Her custom-made Vivienne Westwood sequin gown was absolutely gorgeous too!)

Jessica Chastain: Queen of Cannes 2012...so far

The 65th Cannes Film Festival commenced mid last week. We’ve been following the events and drooling over the numerous styles gracing each day’s proceedings. Next week, we’re going to do an overview of some of our favourite red carpet looks - perfect for your mid-spring/summer soirees - but for now, we just had to shine the spotlight on an actress who in our opinion, has been the epitome of style and grace at every occasion.

Jessica Chastain, best known for her roles in The Help and The Tree of Life (both worth seeing if you haven’t already), transitioned effortless between day and evening events, with retro glam waves and elegant up-dos. And with that beautifully sweet smile, how could you not fall in love with her!

These are the luscious looks of Jessica Chastain…

















[caption id="attachment_519" align="aligncenter" width="200" caption="Image courtesy of Vogue Germany"][/caption]

On opening night of the festival, Jessica looked simply ravishing with her wavy tresses swept back into a low plaited twist. With dewy, understated make-up, she looked positively radiant.


[caption id="attachment_521" align="aligncenter" width="208" caption="Image courtesy of Zimbio"][/caption]

For the photo call of Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, Ms. Chastain highlighted her feminine elegance with classic loose curls and earthy neutral tone’s that accentuated her natural beauty.


[caption id="attachment_522" align="aligncenter" width="207" caption="Image courtesy of Zimbio"][/caption]

At the premiere of Madagascar 3, Jessica graced the red carpet with old Hollywood glamour, adorned with vintage curls smoothly swept to the side. Her make-up was porcelain doll perfection with defined eyes and rich red lip colour. Simply stunning!


[caption id="attachment_520" align="aligncenter" width="200" caption="Image courtesy of Vogue UK"][/caption]

For the copious TV interviews and press conferences, Ms. Chastain looked vivaciously fresh with soft, natural-looking curls, and minimal make-up, utilising rosy pink tones that made her shine!


[caption id="attachment_516" align="aligncenter" width="200" caption="Image courtesy of Glamour Magazine UK"][/caption]

At the Calvin Klein party, Jessica highlighted her stunning bone structure with a polished, ultra-sleek and chic up do, with pinky beige make-up to soften the look.

Colour me happy!

[gallery columns="4"]

Brighten up your locks with a fresh new coat of colour and see if it doesn’t brighten up your outlook on life too!

There are two distinct colour trends featuring this year with varying degrees and interpretations. In one corner you have the more natural look with warm golden tones - moving away from the sharp, heavy highlights and dipped tips, and instead, blending a combination of harmonious shades to enhance your natural colour. In the opposite corner is the dramatic show-stopping option that opts for radical block-colours and pops of bold hues for a striking result. The choice is yours - take your pick….

Warming up
Whether blonde, brunette or redhead, this year the hues are warming up with gorgeously buttery golden tones to brighten up your complexion. Platinum white was the 2011 blonde but 2012 marks the season of a softer creamier blonde - with golden sand, earthy beige and champagne shades in demand. If you have darker hair, consider boosting your natural colour with touches of caramel, chestnut and bronze tones to create rich, textured colour. Reds are also popular this season with bold, deep copper tones conveying a warm sultry look.

Ombre is here to stay
The ombre style with its darker roots and light coloured ends is still a popular choice and a great option for sprucing up brunette hair. However, this year the look is taking on a more subtle approach - with less contrast between the richer colours at the roots and a more gradual fade to lighter shades at the tips. This creates a radiant sun-kissed look perfect for the summer season.

Bright and bold
In contrast to the warmer natural styles, bright and bold colours have also been thrust into the spotlight thanks to the likes of Katie Perry, Rhianna and their strong, vibrant hair colour selections. If you’re one to push the boundaries and you like your hair to make a statement, this trend is for you! Whether block-colour or multi-coloured highlights, steal the spotlight with deep purples, blues, reds and even greens.

Greys and pastels - The new cool
If you crave the cooler hues, be prepared to think out of the box! Grey is the new cool, with ashy and silver highlights and lowlights proving to be an up and coming trend with Lady Gaga and Kate Moss leading the way. To add a summery edge to cooler colours, inset subtle pastel tones of pink, purple, yellow or blue to sections or the tips of your hair.

If we've got you buzzing to try one of these new hair colour trends - you know who to call!

Happy Spring everyone!

Spring has officially sprung and with it comes daffodils, singing birds, the return of the sun and spring-cleaning! Spring is a great time to freshen things up and try something new. As we usher in the warmer months with open arms, put an extra spring in your step (excuse the clichĂ© pun, but it was too hard to resist) by experimenting with some of 2012’s top spring/summer hair trends:



[caption id="attachment_349" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Image courtesy of Vogue UK"][/caption]

 

It’s all about accessorizing darling!



From headscarves and flower garlands to baubles and colourful ribbons - hair accessories are in! Transform your hairdos from plain to just plain fabulous by adorning your locks with a few embellishments. Add a subtle touch with decorated bobby pins or try a statement piece such as a giant rose ensemble. Experiment and have a little fun with it!

 

 

 

[caption id="attachment_350" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Image courtesy of Vogue UK"][/caption]

 

Morning Dew.

Whether sleekly tied back or shaggy and loose, the “just got out of the shower” look is a dominant trend this spring and summer. Glossy, shiny, wet-look hair is a fresh, low maintenance style that is putting a bold glam-rock twist on the unintentional “hairstyle” that ordinarily never leaves the bathroom.

 

 

 

[caption id="attachment_351" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Image courtesy of Harpers Bazaar"][/caption]

 

Lace up those locks

Plaits, braids and twisted knots are another big trend this spring and summer, but we’re not talking “Little House On The Prairie” or “Sound of Music” pigtails here! Think romantic spirals of plaited love inspired by Romeo and Juliet, and playful yet classy twists that wouldn’t look out of place in a charming French film.

 

 

 

[caption id="attachment_352" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Image courtesy of Harpers Bazaar"][/caption]

 

Making Waves.

If you have naturally wavy or curly hair count yourself lucky, straight hair has taken a back seat this season! Beach hair meets city life with ruffled, whimsical waves that make for effortless “cool”. For a slice of glamour (and if you have a little more time on your hands), have a go at creating some 20s-style finger waves for a sophisticated and sassy look.

 

 

 

[caption id="attachment_354" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Image courtesy of Harpers Bazaar"][/caption]

 

Ponytails.

The humble ponytail is a classic style that can be adapted to fashion numerous looks. A neat and high ponytail accomplishes the current “classic, preppy” trend. Achieve laidback elegance with a low, tousled pony at the nape of the neck- clipped in a loop or secured with a dainty ribbon for extra loveliness.

 

 

 

[caption id="attachment_353" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Image courtesy of About.com"][/caption]

 

Bring on the Bouffant!

Big truly is beautiful! The sixties have made a come back thanks to the likes of Adele and Katie Perry. Whether you opt for the light and bouncy “blowout” (a signature Adele style) or an elegant beehive up-do, the more volume the better!

 

 

 

If you need a few tips for creating these styles yourself, have a chat to your stylist- they’ll be happy to help!
