I have a few things to say about this. First this is red done right her skin is perfect for this shade of red. All you spicy Latina ladies out there take note. She is hot hot in this Dolce & Gabbana at the The 66th annual Venice Film Festival. And trust me Italia took note.

 Tip: With animal print a little goes a long ways consider trying just shoes, headband, or clutch with an animal print.

Rocker-chic looks are in for fall. Studs, rivets, big bold buckles, and chains will all be dominating boots, shoes, jackets, handbags, and other accessories.

Dramatic shoulders promise eye-catching results to those daring enough to try them.

We love them .. we hate them they are back! Why should we like them.. Ill tell you why. It gives the sculped shoulder to make the waist look smaller… Everyone could use a little more of so hail the 80’s shoulder pads are back.

Whats next in the ever changing jean trends?

The Knit Jean.

The more flattering knit jean is next. “It’s sort of a cross between a legging and a skinny jean and it’s much easier to wear. Everybody looks good in them.

Last winter we saw alot of that deep hue of purple.

This season you will see orange.

What people need to keep in mind is that everyone can wear orange, just not everyone can wear bright orange. I think we’re also going to be seeing a lot of blues, greens and pinks.

The hair trends for spring are already being determined. Think sleek ballerinabuns, beachy textured hair extensions, braids and french twistes. You’ll never be bored with your hair if you try these styles.

My favorite….. we all know is Diane Von Furstenberg

Style trick: Spray  hair with texturizing hairspray then create a low basic braid starting at the nape of your neck. Let hair set in the braid for 30 minutes (or sleep on it) then let out the braid to reveal an edgy, sexy texture.

Not too far behind was this look from Terexov

Style trick: To make sure your bobby pins hold your style securely, point the tip of the bobby pin toward your scalp until it touches it then push it into your chignon to anchor it.
