WAG’s tend to appear splashed across the pages of an array of magazines on a daily basis! This is great news for those that wish to imitate their style! Simply pick up any one of the magazines on sale in your local shop and you will be guaranteed to steal a littl inspiration!

Many wives and girlfriends in fact have their own clothing lines, make-up ranges and perfumes on sale! This makes it that little bit easier to steal their style!

Take the queen WAG VB for example, her statement line of body con dresses are proving to be a sell-out at most major fashion events!

The star does however always look impeccable and this certainly makes her one of the ones to watch!

Even her baby daughter is on trend and often matching her parents! Another thing she is famous for is her heels! She is rarely seen wearing anything but

What goes around comes around

Just like in the world of clothes, what goes around comes around in the hair world!  This season is showcasing an assortment of choppy and razor-like styles, all of which are proving to be a blast from the past!

An assortment of A-list celebrities have recently taken the plunge and swapped their long and luscious locks for something a little more statement in style.

Such a style works to create both a sexy and playful look.  The iconic razor-sharp look mainly consists of a variety of shattered lengths.  Such lengths work to create an edgy, no nonsense style.

There are no rules with this hairstyle and all lengths should be left a little uneven as appose to perfectly groomed.

This style doesn’t have to be combed to perfection, simply run through it with a pair of Babyliss straighteners.

Alternatively tip your locks upside down and roughly dry your hair with a Babyliss hair dryer.

Finish the look with a fine toothcomb and lashings of hairspray!  Backcombing is a great way to add a little extra volume to your locks, simple part you hair into sections and work your way through your locks.

The end result will offer an unmovable style an one that is perfect for both day and night.

Hold up on the back combing for a daytime style and pump if up a notch or two for an evening out on the tiles.

This is certainly a style that is coming back into fashion and one that is in fact very easily achievable.  The main effect is created using a razor.  A razor is able to achieve a lot more movement than a pair of scissors and works to lift the weight from the hair.

The styles the wags are working

For a high and sleek chignon like Eva Longoria, secure your ponytail high up.  Rub a little gel in your hands and twist and twist the tail around itself in order to create a neat bun.  Flyaways can be pinned away or smoothed down with gel.

 

If you like your hair loose, take a few style notes for the actress Cameron Diaz.  Her glam and surf style waves are the envy of many.  In order to create such a look, use a volumising moose and rough-dry the locks upside down.  Go over the style with medium-sized tongs in alternative directions.  Spritz hairspray onto the hands in order to create a tousled effect, this can be done by combing the style with the fingers.

 

Now that you have super Hollywood hair, you will need to finish the outfit with standout eyes and super-glam nails.

 

Rachel Weisz has this nailed.  Her flawless red-carpet eyes are some of the prettiest party peepers out there.

 

In order to achieve a similar style, use a black eyeliner along the top lash line.  You should take this slightly up and out at the ends for a more exaggerated style.

 

Apply a darker eyeshadow and blend it along the bottom lash line, continue this into the socket.

 

Finish with lashings of mascara to the top lashes; try L’Oreal Telescopic Mascara in order to create the effect of false lashes without the hassle of actually applying them.

 

If however you wish to achieve an even more statement look, run khol liner along the bottom inner rims and top of the eyes,, then smudge it with your fingers for a rock-chic look.

 

Try Contour Khol in Jet Black, which can be purchased from L’Oreal Paris make-up.  This is a great investment to your make-up bag!

The ones to watch!

If you are a little lost when it comes to the new season fashions and can’t decide what to buy into for now, look no further than the celebs!

Celebrities are certainly one of the A-list breeds to watch, they do after all have many of the infamous and also the up and coming designers on speed dial.

They often turn up to the latest red carpet shows with an assortment of designer clobber on!  They also turn up to such events donning the latest hairstyles, the ‘of the moment’ designer shoes and the on trend make-up styles.

Gone are the days of pastel coloured felt tracksuits with heels and designer handbags enter instead into a world of runway fashion.

WAG’s have certainly changed their appearances since the initial days.  We now look to them for ideas and inspiration as appose to looking to them to see what catastrophes they are donning this week!

Take Victoria Beckham for example, she is now classed as one of the best-dressed woman in the world; she even has her own line of Victoria Beckham attire to prove it.  Think the statement sculptured dresses and uber high heels.

Her daughter is now being watched as one of the best-dressed tots, she is usually seen wearing something equally as stylish as her designer clad mum!  It is of course always matching or in a shade that offers a colour opposite to what VB is wearing!

We imagine she is going to grow up to be as equally as stylish as her mum, especially when she has access to possibly one of the most enviable wardrobes of all time! She will also have a front row pass to many of the Fashion Week fashion shows as well, just so that she can get in a little inspiration early!

Nailcare SOS

3 Different styles using hair straighteners

A good pair of hair straighteners is one of the most useful and flexible tools you will ever own. High quality hair straighteners are not, as the name may suggest, only useful for straightening your hair. As long as the straighteners heat up to high enough temperatures, you can use hair straighteners like the ones produced by ghd to style your hair in many different ways.

Straightening your hair is perhaps the simplest style you can achieve with a heat styler. If your hair is naturally very curly and stubborn, however, the process may take a little longer. Quality stylers like ghd straighteners rise to high temperatures that break down the hydrogen bonds in your hair that make it curl. Straightening is a simple process once you get the hang of it – you simply separate your hair into sections, then clamp the irons of the straightener around each piece, close to the scalp, and draw slowly downwards towards the tips. Move the styler in a slow but consistent sweep. If you go too fast, then your hair may not be exposed to the heat long enough to straighten. If you stop on one section of hair too long, you risk damaging it by overheating.

Curling your hair is actually a similar process to straightening, even though at first that may seem like a contradiction in terms! As with straightening, you need to separate your hair into sections and then clamp the straighteners around the hair closest to your scalp. However, as you begin to draw the styler downwards, make sure that you stop before you reach the tip. Then roll the styler back towards your head, curling the hair around it. When you have curled all the way back to your scalp, hold in place for ten seconds or so. If you want lose curls, hold for a short time, or for tight curls hold for a little longer. Then gently pull the styler out of the curl you have created, not back the way you came but sideways. This prevents you from undoing the work you have just done.

These are two of the main styles you can create with hair straighteners, and you can add as much variation to the basis of those styles as you like as well as creating many more. There are hundreds of styles to choose from, and the only way you are going to learn is to experiment as much as possible. For one more possible style, you can use hair straighteners to style an asymmetric bob. Simply proceed as if you were straightening your hair, only on one side of your head flick the hair outwards when you reach the tips, and on the other side flick inwards. This will create a styled bob with an asymmetric twist!
