The High Bun


The high bun is perfect for summertime - an elegant look that transitions perfectly from day to night!

1. Put your hair in a high ponytail
2. Use your hand to twist your hair then spiral it around to create the bun.
3. Secure with a Spin Pin (for thinner hair, all you need is one!)

A timeless hairstyle that is easy as 1-2-3!

Talk that Talk: SEX

After attending the Diamonds World Tour at the Staples Center in LA -  I said to myself, how about a round of applause to RiRi's stylist! Every piece screamed "SEX" and whispered "come hither…" - you just can't take your eyes off of her!

Yes, we all know Rihanna is one of the biggest sex symbols in the game, and OK yes, Rihanna does have a way of pulling off the most risqué outfits without looking like a total whore…but, as the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way!  Be willing to open up to your sexy side and find the best way of doing it.








Crop Tops - They are sexy and perfect for Summer. Paired with a below the knee or maxi skirt, jeans or pants, you are ready for the day.  If you are going to wear shorts or a mini skirt, throw on a chiffon button up or blouse to complete the look - remember, start small.  You could wear a long-sleeved crop top and a maxi skirt, but it's that small sliver of exposed skin that gives the extra sex-appeal. 







Mini-dress - An obvious wardrobe staple that is so versatile.  If the dress is low cut, at least try to compensate - I know it's summertime and hot outside, so I understand the urge to let it all hang out.  But you can always let out that hem, to add a few extra inches to the length.  If it's a high neck, you have much more wiggle room, no pun intended, to go for a shorter length to show off your legs.




Let's leave it at these two items to start - remember, leaving some mystery is the sexy part of it all!

Red lip, hot summer days: The All American

We love a great red lip, high bun, sunglasses, button ups, and high waisted shorts for summer! 






1. Sunglasses - Ray Ban
2. Red Lip - MAC


Happy 4th of July!

Oh, those summer nights


This is a classic look that you can wear all year- leggy mini dresses and high waisted shorts are great for the summer but sometimes changing it up wearing a long comfortable dress can amp up your wardrobe. Mid-length dresses like this can sometimes look too mature but styling it up with fun accessories is what makes the biggest difference. 





More dresses at this length that we love:

Everyday Summer Makeup


With oily skin, it gets really apparent in the summer time that you have to change up your skin routine to keep it from becoming an oil slick mess. These steps have been a lifesaver so far, even though summer just started it has been so hot in LA!
