Snow White

This months issue of Cosmopolitan is claiming that white is the new black for nails. I saw this trend popping up a few weeks back and I have to agree with the fashion gurus. Black is old… I was never very fond of the trend anyway, only a few well manicured hands could pull it off and even then it should have been a last resort. But this white nail trend I like… it is something i will definitely try out…maybe even for my upcoming Bridal Shower. Come to think of it, it won’t be my first time, in grade school I use to paint my nails with White Out when I would get bored. Maybe I’ll let the professionals handle it this time.

Thick and Thin

Ballerina Bun

I sport high buns at home all the time. But it’s not secret that the bun is no longer the lazy girls go-to hairstyle. Paired with jeans or even a long formal gown, the ballerina bun is proving to be one of the most versatile hairstyles around. The best part is that it is extremely easy to achieve, and it is a great alternative my second popular style of choice at home, the ponytail.

There is no right or wrong way to wear the ballerina bun, it can be neatly made, worn with a hairband, tousled softly, worn high, or down at the nape of the neck. Whatever works, you can do know wrong my little Black Swan.

Let’s Get High!

High-waisted that is! 70s are back…again. Super cute and flattering trend of hippy high-waisted fashion is waay in!

Worn wrong, and you end up looking like a flat butted momma. Worn right, and you’ll look like you have a tiny little waist, beautiful hips and a nice arse.

Scarf it Down

Scarfs are fun, and a great way to spice up what can otherwise seem like a boring outfit and they are no longer just for winter…it is pretty much a year round trend these day. The way people wear them changes from season to season.

Gwyneth Paltrow brings the Quotes

Meha — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 16:41:42 +0000

“I never thought that I’d be considered to have a good body. I was bony up top and kind of dumpy on the bottom. But my trainer, Tracy Anderson, completely changed my legs, butt, arms and stomach. I feel better than ever, too.”

On her challenge areas:
“My butt! My butt, butt, butt. When Tracy met me, she said that I had a long, square butt that she was going to redesign, and I was, like, “Yeah? Good luck.” The amazing thing is, she was right! And it’s still changing!”

How she stays sane about her body:
“I’ve found what works for me. I know if I put in an hour and a half, five days a week, I’m good. If I’m on vacation and, like, “F— it, I’m not working out,” I know what to do when I get back. A lot of women think, “Oh, my God, I could never get there,” but I don’t think that’s true. It’s simply relative to how much you put into it.”

How consistent she stays, foodwise:
“I say I always eat right, but last night, I had fried clams, pasta with duck sausage and two glasses of red wine. When I want to lose, I eat less pasta, bread and potatoes. Before last year’s Iron Man 2 premiere, I did green juices and salads for three days.”

Gwyneth’s fitness secret:
“I do 45 minutes of cardio five days a week, because I like to eat. I also try for 45 minutes of muscular structure work, which is toning, realigning and lengthening. If I’m prepping for something or I’ve been eating a lot of pie, I do two hours a day, six days a week for two weeks.”

Otherwise, love her for at least knowing how to do her hair in many different beautiful styles.
