On Target - Daily Makeover, Part II

With the inauguration coming up soon, I figured it would be time to focus some attention on First Lady Michelle Obama. There's much buzz about potential dress choices for her, but what about hair?

I played around with Daily Makeover for awhile again and came to a few conclusions. The First Lady looks best with warmer colors, and doesn't seem like a long hair type of gal. Here's a few looks I think she can pull off. I didn't touch her makeup (obviously) and used the best picture I could find. It's not perfect but still interesting!

On Target - Daily Makeover

So my buds over at DailyMakeover.com have hooked me up with a premium account. It's taken me a few weeks but I've finally started playing with it a bit. I'm at DM novice so it may take some time (and better quality self-portraits!) so here's a few looks I played around with on myself and a friend.

Tips & Trends - Pre-Fall 2009

Pre-fall is a season that only exists in the fashion world. However, the benefit of pre-fall is that it gives us a sneak peek of what's to come.

I spent the weekend going over the pre-fall collections posted on Style.com and noticed a few hair trends worth mentioning. It was glaringly obvious that simple was in, and big was nearly out. In fact, the trend I took the most note of were the long, straight, sleek, flat ironed locks with a side or middle part. A variation on this look included a severe slick backed look.

The straight style appeared in the collections of such designers as Alexander Wang, Rag & Bone, Doo.Ri and Roberto Cavalli. But other designers including Nicole Miller, Monique Lhullier and Narcisco Rodriguez played with shiny and straight, slicking hair back. Here's a few of the inspring images.

Alexander Wang - The Straightest of Them All

Rag & Bone - Straight Shooter
Doo.Ri - Sideways Straight

Monique Lhuillier - Shellac'd Back

Narcisco Rodriguez - Slide Back
