Head to Toe

          Fashion isn't just about the clothes you wear. Awesome accessories, hot shoes, even makeup and hair are all important elements of your personal style. When it comes to makeup, I've always been of the "less is more" theory (Honestly, who wants to look like a cheap hooker in broad daylight?) However, there are some who can pull off heavier makeup in a classy manner, simply by using brighter colors, darker liners and classic, full red lips.

          When it comes to hair, certain styles have achieved "timeless" status (think sexy waves, classic side part, etc), it seems this year hairstyles are making quite a splash with more fun, edgy styles. Bright colors (such as hot pinks, royal purples, even cherry red) can definitely make your overall style pop. What I'm saying here is that sometimes it feels good to step away from the conventional and go with something daring and that you wouldn't normally try!

           If bright colors are just a few steps outside of y our comfort zone, fear not! There are plenty of ways to be edgy and daring without dying your hair lime green (or some other color that would make your grandmother blush). If you have long hair, try to add some funk to a plain jane style by adding braids! Or, you could always experiment with new products (think mousse, hairspray- anything to add volume and body).

           Sometimes, the best looks are ones you would never consider for yourself. If your hair is super short, why not try some extensions? Or, add some hair wax to create funky texture and give yourself a whole new style. If  your hair is straight, grab a curling iron and create something so awesome, it would reduce Shirley Temple to shame!

           Just like any other aspect of fashion (clothes, makeup, nail polish, etc), the perfect look isn't always about whats trendy or "in style", its about taking a look that you might not normally consider and finding ways to make it your own.
