HEAD GEAR OF THE DAY

So you've heard that head gear aka hats and hair accessories are more in than ever but here are my favourite pic's for the day! They are a really fun, inexpensive and an easy choice to set off a trend alarm.

Thin woven head bands worn on top of the back of your hair

(like mk has done with her peacock inspired band) are really in. You can even make your own by weaving three thin strands of cord together - VOILA its that easy!!!! I also absolutely love Rock n Roll daughter Zoe Kravitz knotted head band, it makes such a statement in red against her simple, neutral coloured dress - thank goodness matchy- matchy's out- its so boring. Tip: For supreme style, mix and match colours and prints but if your a little shy add a different splash of colour like miss Kravitz has done with a headband!

VINTAGE FANTASTIC AT LOLLAPALOOZA

LOVE THE SHADES!!!

SPOTTED - the ever so stylish Ashley Wentz-Simpson sporting a very low-profile baby bump and hubby Pete Wentz at the Lollapalooza music festival. Here are some other street style pic's from the festival, for those of you who dont know, Lollapalooza is an American music festival featuring alternative rock, hip hop, and punk rock bands, dance and comedy performances, and craft booths. Lollapalooza also provides a platform for non-profit and political groups. I just love the vintage-boho look that floated around!

TARTING AROUND IN TARTAN

As you might have seen plaid and tartan have been quite the rage in the fashion scene lately. House of Holland's fall '08 collection has taken tartan with a twist! Re-working it and bringing to life the usually boring aesthetic with their unique, signiture rocking 80's rave look!

Through the ever- genius eyes of Henry Holland we can no longer dismiss the fabric as lifeless and old fashioned - he has transformed it into what has been called a tartan/street style. A brilliant expression of European tradition and Punkish, British street style- what a quirky mix!!

HOW TO WEAR TARTAN THIS SEASON:

1. Mix and match multiple checks

2. Vivid plaids, shot through with violet, emerald, turquise and orange give the trend a youthful

spin.

I HEART HENRY HOLLAND

There once was a boy called Henry,

(Whose taste was somewhat bendy…),

With a pash for fash,

And all things flash,

He was quite the talk of the trendy.

One day Henry had an idea,

And a genius one it was clear,

For a range of t-shirts,

That were so hip they hurt,

"Anna Wintour'll love 'em", he cheered!

So he set about thinking of slogans,

That the fash crowd would lap up like no-one's,

His fave celebs,Designers (and plebs),

None were safe, and he had so much fun!

That's how House of Holland was born,

(on the name he never was torn),

"Buy this Coleen!",

His first t-shirt screamed,

And so Heat magazine got on board…

The rest, as they say, is history,

And there really is no great mystery,

If you want to be cool,

At work, play or school,

Better snap one up pretty damn swiftly.

FINDING SUNNIES THAT SUIT YOUR STYLE

Ever wonder what style of shades really compliments you ? Here is the low down on which styles suit which face type.

OVAL face : aka Liv Tyler
This means you have a slightly narrower jaw than temples, your jaw should gently taper at the chin if this is you.

Its your lucky day cause you are able to experiment, most styles suit you but the most suited are: OVERSIZED glasses, wrap arounds and aviators

SQUARE face: aka Gweneth Paltrow
You have a strong jaw line and the same width face at teh forehead as it is across your cheekbones.

The most styling choices you could make would be: Curvy styles like ovals and cat eyes which help take emphasis away from your jaw.

LONG face: aka Hillary Swank
You have a long and slender face with a narrow chin and a high forehead

Shine like the sun in: Square and round glasses with decorative sides as these add width to the face.

ROUND face: aka Mischa Barton
Go for: Softly angled or reclangular styles that are equal to or slightly wider than the broadest part of your face- this will make it look longer and thinner - eg. RAYBANS

HEARTSHAPE face: aka J.LO
You have amazingly wide cheekbones that taper down to a small chin.
you should HEART: Rimless styles or angular and aviator shapes to balance a narrow chin
