Spring Hair Trend- Braids!

- by Pixie

You've seen all the girly celebs out there sporting the cutesy braids lately. I love how the throw-back style is making a comeback in a new fresh way. Try this new trend to get out of your typical ponytail rut.

Tips: Add a texturizing creme to dry hair to get it ready. Keep the braids soft, loose and messy to keep it updated looking. Keep the part clean and try some wisps around the face like Nicole Richie. Try an already-braided headband that matches your hair color for a quick fix!

There's a few types of braids you can rock right now...put in a few mini braids around the sides or front of the hair in a messy chignon style, put a chunky messy braid creating a side pony, add a few thin ones in a wavy beachy chic style, french braid the front of the hair to keep growing-out bangs at bay. The possibilities are unlimited!!!

Braid on!

MAC Dazzleglass Lipgloss

-by Pixie


I couldn't help but stop at the MAC counter yesterday & was hypnotized by their new lipgloss Dazzleglass. I am a huge fan of super sparkly lipgloss and MAC's Dazzleglass doesn't disappoint. Big pearls of sparkle reflect the light so everyone in the room notices your sexy lips. I am so in love with my new tube. Yeah yeah!!!

Massage: Use a slice of the orange to rub across entire body (use up to eight slices). Oranges' scent brighten the mood, and have vitamin C which helps slough off dry skin and bioflavanoids to improve circulation and texture.

The most YUMMY Spring Shoes!

While I may not be a huge fan of her music, I have been a fan of Jessica Simpson's shoes since they launched. They are always girly, glamorous & fabulous.

This pair is on the top of my MUST-HAVE list for Spring. I'm drooling just looking at these. They fit my girly-rocker style perfectly. I'll pair them with a short flirty dress first, for drinks on the patio of a hip downtown bar. Then I'll pair the with my black skinny jeans for prowling the mall with my gfs.

Ahhh! Can these get any yummier???

How to Care for Your Designer Jeans

by Pixie

A few tried-and-true tips to keep your designer jeans in tip-top shape!

1) Wear your jeans for as long as possible between washes. This will help them form to your exact shape, giving you an amazing fit.

2) Wash stretch jeans more often. If they have 2-4% stretch, they will loosen up after a few hours of wearing so buy them a size smaller.

3) Wash them inside out & in cold water to protect the color. Wash with your other jeans to prevent color bleeding.

4) Don't dry your jeans! For stretch jeans, tumble dry for only about a half hour. Drying breaks down the elasticity in the fabric, so do it as little as possible. Tip: air dry them most of the way and then toss them in for about 10-15 minutes to snug them up.

5) Hang your jeans. This helps them keep their shape in between wearings.
