Favorite Short Hair Tutorials

photos by pinterest

There is a reason why we see so many Hollywood starlets with short and medium hair styles, short styles just tend to frame the face beautifully and easily add extra allure but.... short hair might easily look flab instead of fab. Pulling off short locks is all about styling, products, curl iron, flat iron and a touch of dare! This week I collected my favorite short hair tutorials!
(and for long hair these tutorials give such a good base for working with layered locks and bangs)

1) {DIY} Curly Locks


Kelly's "DIY Curly Locks" is one of the best tutorials for short hair! The tutorial starts with an "before" picture and guides easily trough all the steps! Not only is this tutorial a must for short and medium hair but in my book a must for layered longer hair as well!

2) Perfect curls for short hair

This video is another short hair must! The curls add so much flair and volume to a simple cut! I often watch the video for inspiration (and guidance) for my bang section while having long hair!

3) Short hair flair

Modcloth's tutorial on adding curls to a really short cut is a true little gem!

6) Chic Updo

An updo just about as perfect as it can get for short/medium hair! I just love knots and sophisticated yet somewhat tousled updo's and this one is just a beauty!

Hammam Facial by SoHappyElst


I just love everything beauty and skincare (I think most of us do) and always love to try new things! I do spend as much time on skin care as I do on make up because a perfect skin is key! My lovely  hairdresser Fabienne gave me this Facial Hammam set to try since she knows how much I love beautiful skin. The Hammam Facial it's a weekly ritual of lightly scrubbing the skin with the natural Olive Soap and the set comes complete with everything needed for the Facial plus the product are natural which is really a plus for my skin! It was such a cute gift so I just had to share :)

Nike LunarGlide+ 4

A much seen street style sneaker right now is the Nike. The Nike Running Sneakers are perfect for those sleek New York and Scandinavian chic looks worn daily in minimal and often sleek black looks and I have envied bloggers like Alice and Sabrina for pulling off the looks perfectly for a while now. 

But the Nike LunarGlide+ 4 is more then just fashion envy, it is a perfect lightweight running shoe with an adaptive glove-like-fit and an excellent blend of springy cushioning and support coming in a multitude of hot colors and color combinations. I think it's time for me to replace my all stars for the LunarGlide and add that bit of city fashion sleekness to my looks that I envy so much! (and instead of black I might go for the above pastels)

OUTFIT: Velvet Trousers and Buckled Boots

My last Paris outfit, I like the Winter for being able to play with heavy layered looks, I played up the blousing of the trousers with socks and the buckle boots for a tougher detail while the materials/texture of the satin shine shirt, the angora jumper and the velvet pants created some kind of classy feel to this otherwise bulky look.

Favorite Sexy Hair Tutorials

photos via Pinterest

I've always been envious of sexy hair! Glossy, soft beautiful voluminous locks that linger between out-of-bed-hair and brushed out waves. My latest find for when it comes to Sexy hair is Dry-Shampoo! Spray at the roots, let it set for 5 minutes, massage the roots and the perfect base for sexy hair is set, finishing it off with some lush waves or just letting the created Volume do its work for an out of bed look! But because a simple word of advice is not enough I collected my favorite tutorials to work with when it comes to Sexy Hair! (oh, and dry shampoo!)


1) Messy Bedhead Waves

UGGaustralia 

Last week I was invited by UGG to attent their Marakesh themed show/preview of the summer collection! The event was perfect with Moroccan drinks, snacks and even Henna Tattoos and the show was amazing! I totally fell in love with the bright colored UGGs in Blue, green and hot pink! They really looked amazing with black tights and bare legged with jeans shorts! Having cold winter feet I really wanted a pair of Hot Pink or Bright Blue UGGs myself!

Our Paris Home

Say Hi to our Paris Home! Well home for a few days! I stayed together with Yara and Cindy in an amazing loft in Saint Germain! The location couldn't be more perfect and the apartment was a complete dream! Renting an apartment over a Hotel is such a recommendation especially when visiting the Paris with more then just 1 friend! I really hope we can stay our next PFW at the same loft because I kind of became attached to it ;)
