  Thats it….. Have fun!

WWD Report: “Green Day”

Everyone’s thinking Go-Green lately, as in eco-friendly.  Here’s WWD’s take on green in the high fashion world of accessories. 

“These days, designers are definitely thinking green in more ways that one.  And there are plenty of glam accessories around in the shade.”

time for a tan

IT’S FINALLY GETTING WARMER. YES! We’re in that warm weather equinox — you know, the period between comfortably warm and miserably hot. And that means the shorts and sundresses are coming out!

I don’t know about you, but I’m so not ready to bare my winter-white legs to the world. It’s seriously time to start thinking about a tan.

But every summer I have the same battle with myself. Is having a real tan worth the sun damage? I’m terrified of skin cancer and absolutely refuse to contribute to my own premature aging, so laying out in the sun for an extended period of time and going to the tanning bed are pretty much out of the picture.

Fortunately for myself (and those of you who share my sentiment), Glamour has our backs. Just yesterday they posted a really great guide to achieving “Cannes Riviera Chic” (aka bronzed and beautiful) sans harmful UV rays.

One of the products they featured was Guerlain Terracotta Tan Enhancer Mist, a temporary on-the-go bronzer. It’s a bit pricey, though, at more than $50 a bottle.

Also featured was Benefit’s Talk To The Tan creme, also an instant bronzer. This was a bit more affordable though, at about $26 a tube.

Anyone else got any suggestions? I’ve heard about spray tans from tanning salons, but do they actually look real?

Bright! Bold! And Beautiful!

My favorite thing this Spring is COLOR ! Everything in my closet is focused on color rather than pattern or adornments. While I admit I still love beading and the embellished look, my new weakness is anything with a bright and beautiful color! Like this dress from Calypso–

Check out this dress from BCBG–

And this one from bevello.com–

When you wear beautiful color that pops you don’t need to accessorize too much, because the color speaks for itself! Wearing a solid, bright color is always flattering and fun!

long live the side pony

Fellow Bevellonians, I have a confession: I secretly love the side ponytail.

I know, most people say they look ridiculous and consider them a serious faux pas in normal social situations — but hear me out. I was only alive for 1.5 years during the ’80s (aka when the side pony had it’s heydey) and unfortunately, one-year-olds pretty much have no hair so my options were limited. And I can’t help but feel deprived in missing out on this trend.

We almost had a side ponytail comeback a few years ago, and every once in a while you’ll see a celebrity donning a glammed-up version on the red carpet.  But as far as day-to-day wear goes, you just don’t see them anymore. And I really don’t know why not.

I mean, lets think about it for a second.  Normal ponytails don’t exactly make a girl feel attractive, do they? All of your hair is pretty much swept off your face and knotted up behind your head. But we wear them because they’re so convenient when there’s just no time to style.

The side ponytail, though, adds more finesse to an ensemble than a regular ponytail, but is just as quick and convenient. Sure, your hair is up, but it’s also brought to the front and can (for those with longer hair) fall in front of your shoulder quite nicely.

Now, don’t get me wrong — the side ponytail can certainly go horribly wrong. I present to you exhibits A and B:

Exhibit A

I can appreciate JLo’s effort, but this side ponytail is a bit too high and a bit to…on the side. InStyle says side ponytails work best lower, nearer to the nape of your neck.

Exhibit B

Yeah, I don’t really know what’s going on here. Again, higher side ponytails just don’t look right. Also, a rule of thumb: the more natural they look, the better. No need to use a can of hairspray to hold everything in place.

Now, let’s see it done right:

Molly Sims

That’s more like it. Instyle also suggests blow-drying your hair upside down and scrunching it before you put it in a side ponytail to give it this thick, tousled look.

Nichole Kidman

Or you can smooth it out and dress it up like Nichole Kidman!

True, it’s hard to predict now what the hairstyling trends will be this for summer.
But when I need a quick ‘do, I know what I’ll be rockin’.

“The fashion show” recap and commentary

My new obession the “fashion show” was on last night. I just wanted to see if anyone else was upset that Reco wasn’t even recognized for his dress he made! I thought it was one of the better constructed pieces. Anna’s was classically pretty but very safe. I feel that in these fashion reality shows the contestants are so quick to do the high waisted skirt and the high neck sleeveless number and it always wins! I remember seeing this on project runway! The judges had it right with Daniella this week. The short jumpsuit and sheer jacket with bow was a great look and wasn’t playing it safe.

Bravo has a great poll where you can be the judge and see all the looks.

Here is the last ten minutes and in my opinion the most entertaining part of the show.

Have a great weekend bvers!
