Glitter Boots

Some of Hollywood's top stylists sat
down with us to discuss their secret
tips and tricks...

First on the list is the hottest hair
looks of the season.

The first look is called "nature
girl."

Appropriately so, because it is
considered an extremely low
maintenance look.

On the runway, the look showed with
tousled tresses and haphazard parts.

Be careful however- you should never
take the trend too literally.

The basis behind the nature girl look
is simple: embrace what you already
have.

Love your hair's natural texture and
flow and don't fight your curls or
straightness.

You should dry hair naturally to give
it a welcome break from the heat of
styling.

The secret behind the nature girl look
is to give nature a little "boost" in
the form of hair products that will
minimize the negative tendencies of
your hair.

To get this look at home, add a
smoothing or volumizing product to wet
hair and allow to dry naturally.

The second hottest style is a look
called "Face Off." The idea behind
face off is a new trend involving
pulling the hair off of the face.

Hair is gently, never severely, swept
up and away.

To get this look yourself, dry your
hair as normal, then gather your hair
into a loose ponytail or up do (or
just pinned in one section) and leave
the rest of the hair to hang loose.

Secure shorter sections with bobby
pins and don't worry about some pieces
falling loose.

Another beautiful accessory to the
face off style is to add a loose, long
ribbon to your ponytail to add an
extra flash of feminine flair.

The last look we will discuss today is
the Windy Ways look.

Imagine a natural look, or hair swept
off the face, and add an extra element
of ease.

At many of the latest fashion shows,
the models can be seen with straggly
pieces, textures and crimping, and
just downright messy hair which adds
a bohemian look to many of the new
fashions.

It's truly the opposite of a
structured style.

Its body is free spirited and, in the
right environment, can work for a day
or an evening.

To get this look yourself and feel
the fabulous freedom, allow hair to
dry naturally, then either sweep it up
into a loose up do or let it flow
loosely.

Randomly tousle sections with your
fingers.

Another hot stylist tip is to take
your denim and make it versatile!

Denim is starting to be found
everywhere- even in places where
before it was considered oh so taboo!

To wear your jeans everywhere, follow
these simple ideas...

Definitely do dark denim.

Your faded, worn-in jeans have a
worn-in, weekend feel, while crisp
jeans in a dark indigo rinse are a
touch more formal and look awesome
with most tops.

Choose a pulled-together cut. For
weekends, baggy boyfriend jeans are
comfy but for a night out on the town,
try a sleeker look.

Boot cut jeans with a low rise are a
perfect example of something you
could wear as the cut gives you a
leaner, more sophisticated line than
a baggier cut would.

Weekend jeans are great when
accompanied by sneakers or flip-flops,
but what makes a great pair of jeans
even better is a pair of really sexy,
dramatic footwear.

Sexy, strappy heels lengthen your
legs, as long as your jeans are long
enough to cover most of the heel.

Our recommendation?

Try a pair with pointed toes and a
slender heel for instant chic. If
you can't deal with heels, try a pair
of ballet flats in a wild color like
silver.

You can then give your jeans an
Audrey Hepburn-like appeal...

To give your outfit of denim the icing
on the top of the cake like it really
deserves, add in a dramatic shirt.

For nighttime, leave your jeans' usual
companion- a lovely T-shirt- at home
and opt for a luxe, evening fabric
like satin or chiffon. Feel free to
try sequins too.

Lastly, accessorize, accessorize,
accessorize!

The finishing touches on an evening
jeans look requires accessories.

Go for the glitz here- add chandelier
earrings or hoops, a bold cocktail
ring or a metallic clutch.

Anything more demure like pearls or
diamond studs is way too daytime.

Stylist tips are helpful but you
should also be developing your own
unique styles and your own tips that
help you develop into the woman you
want to be.
