]]> French Twists have recently taken off among celebrities and style influences as one of the hottest hairstyle trends of the summer. With a timeless elegance and an effortless charm, they’re a classic updo that’s versatile enough for any occasion. If you’re looking for a hairstyle that works for everything from casual outings to formal events, here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a picture-perfect French twist. 

Step 1: Prep Your Hair

Begin by brushing your hair to remove any tangles or knots. For added texture and grip, lightly spritz your hair with a texturizing spray or apply a small amount of dry shampoo.

Step 2: Gather Your Hair

Gently gather all your hair at the nape of your neck and hold it in your non-dominant hand, creating a low ponytail. Make sure it is centered and secure it with a hair tie.

Step 3: Twist and Tuck

Hold the ponytail with one hand while using your other hand to twist the ponytail upwards, towards your scalp. As you twist, continue pulling the ponytail upwards, creating a vertical roll.

Step 4: Secure the Twist

Once you’ve reached the crown of your head, carefully tuck the ends of the twist into the roll, securing them with bobby pins. Insert the pins at an angle, crisscrossing them for added hold.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Smooth down any loose strands and apply a light-hold hairspray to set the style. For a more romantic look, leave a few face-framing tendrils loose.

]]> Monochromatic outfits are all the rage these days. Dressing in a single color from head to toe is a bold fashion statement that can be chic and sophisticated when done right. Here are some tips on how to rock a monochromatic outfit like a fashion pro.

Choose Your Color Wisely

Monochromatic outfits work best with neutral colors such as black, white, gray, or beige. However, don’t be afraid to experiment with bolder colors such as red or blue.

Mix Textures

Mixing different textures can add depth and dimension to your outfit. For example, pair a cotton blouse with a leather skirt, or a wool sweater with velvet pants.

Play With Proportions

Wearing pieces of different lengths and sizes can create a visually interesting outfit. Try pairing a long jacket with cropped pants or a short top with high-waisted trousers.

Add Some Accessories

Accessories can make or break a monochromatic outfit. Add some statement jewelry, a bold scarf, or a contrasting belt to add some interest to your outfit.

Pay Attention to Details

The devil is in the details! Make sure your outfit is well-coordinated by paying attention to small details such as matching your shoes to your belt.

]]> Nothing says “classic” and “feminine” quite like a pointed-toe shoe. Heels, boots, or flats, the pointed-toe is quite a look. Although they may go in and out of style, it’s worth investing in a pair because you know that they will always come back! They are the perfect piece to elongate your legs. Since pointed-toe shoes are quite a statement themselves, it’s best to wear them with a simpler outfit. Here are some of the best ways to style a pointed-toe shoe!

Wide-Leg Trousers

Wide-leg trousers are amazingly stylish, but sometimes you want to bring a more feminine energy to your look. Pairing a pointed-toe heel with trousers can really bring together the outfit and realign you with your feminine side!

Straight-Leg Jeans

There is just something about the combo of a casual sweater, straight-leg jeans, and tan pointed-toe heels that screams “model off duty”. If you want to elevate a simple outfit like this, a tan pointed toe makes anything look so classy, people won’t even realize you wore it last week to run errands!

Flowy Skirt

Short or long, a flowy skirt pairs beautifully with pointed-toe flats. Again, the pointed toe just gives that extra bit to make the outfit that much classier!

]]> One of the most challenging parts of developing your personal style is learning to recognize the difference between what looks good in general and what looks good on you. Have you ever seen a picture of someone wearing a particular outfit and thought that it looked great, only to end up disappointed when trying on the same thing for yourself? It may have been that the other person you saw wearing the outfit was a different season than you. Understanding your season and what colors work best for you can make all of the difference in terms of how a piece looks on you and how confident you feel. Here’s how to determine yours.

Check Your Undertone

One of the most important factors in determining your color season is to figure out whether your skin has a warm or cool undertone. To check yours, put on a white shirt and stand in natural light. If your skin appears rosy or pinkish compared to the shirt, your undertone is cool. If it appears more yellow or golden, your undertone is warm. Warm undertones indicate you are a spring or an autumn, while cool undertones mean you’re a winter or summer.

Consider Your Hair

If your hair has a reddish or strawberry blonde color, it’s most likely that you’re a spring or an autumn. If your undertone is warm and your overall coloring is deep (dark hair, dark eyes, and low contrast between hair and skin), you are an autumn. If your hair, skin, and eyes are light with a warm undertone, you are a spring.

If your undertone is cool, you can determine if you’re a summer or winter based on the level of contrast between your hair and skin. If your hair is much darker than your skin, it’s most likely you’re a winter. If your hair color is ashy and the level of contrast against your skin is low, you’re a summer.
