If you are the owner of a bountiful head full of curls you probably often experience a love hate relationship with your locks, sometimes the wrong cut can, at worst, leave you looking like you may have been electrocuted. If you have naturally curly hair you are actually very lucky as a variety of styles and tightness of curls can result in a variety of looks straight-haired girls can only dream of.
There is nothing is more glamorous than a sleek curly ‘do as many an A-lister will testify, and if you do have naturally curly hair these are actually easier than you think to do yourself. If you want to avoid the fashioned look work tongs, ghd hair straighteners or rollers in from the mid-lengths down and not the roots which can add too much bulk at the sides.
If you want a polished look use ghd straighteners, tongs, a wand or small rollers to create the perfect spiral curls and use hairspray to set in place, also you need to avoid breaking up the curls by steering clear of using a hair brush or messing with your fingers too much.

Below is a selection of items that are a welcomed addition to anyone’s wardrobe.
Pale denim – Designers such as Reiss, Uniqlo and Stella McCartney featured a lot of pale denim in their collections this year so no wonder many highstreet stores and other small designers have also picked up on it, it works wonderfully well with the nude and pastel trends as well as a great way to wear the full denim look.
The biker cardigan – Rather than a leather biker jacket which can be a bit too heavy for spring you can invest in a biker cardigan which is a tough yet feminine alternative. It has the same cut as a leather jacket but is made from a light wool or sued materiel in the light pastel shades of spring.
The waterfall jacket – A jacket or cardigan that is a great alternative to a chunky knit, it does not fasten however it instead ripples down at either side falling like a waterfall. It looks great in the pale colours of spring and great to wear over a plain t-shirt or dress.
The flippy dress – Although set to be a summer best seller flippy dresses can also be worn now as we enter spring with tights and boots and with other great must haves such as the biker cardigan and it’s great for versatility especially when we get the transition from spring to summer.
As a hair colour brunette will never go out of style, like the little black dress, deemed a more sophisticated than red hair, sexier than blonde hair and less goth than black hair brunette is an all over easy colour to work no matter what the occasion. Many celebrities smoulder on the red carpet with their long luscious brunette locks like Penélope Cruz, Jessica Alba, Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Garner. You too can copy their red carpet look by just slightly curling the ends of your hair with ghd hair straighteners to create a slight wave reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour.
Luxurious chocolate shades with highlights will suit all skin tones and add a few lowlights to mousey brown hair and you’ve got an instant style update for 2010. As well as giving your curls a new lease of life and swap the drying bleach for a chic warm brunette shade and keep it glossy with ghd reflection spray.
If you opt to lighten dark locks with a few caramel highlights to break up dark brunette hair you can still have natural looking hair plus with some lighter shades it’s a great colour for heading into summer.

Finding designer clothing when you’re a ‘normal’ size (that is, bigger than a size zero!) isn’t easy. Finding designer clothing when you’re a larger lady is nigh on impossible! Don’t skimp on style just because you’re classed as ‘outsize’ – there are loads of women’s fashion options out there, from the high street to the high-end boutique, the perfect outfit is out there for you!
Firstly, know what to buy to suit your shape. If you’re after an edgy, high-trend look that flatters, leggings are a comfortable and versatile option – perfect with layers, go for a shirt-dress in a pastel hue and accessorise with a funky scarf and leather biker jacket. Flat gladiator sandals are a comfortable choice or for an evening look try a clog for cutting-edge style.
For work-wear, a well-cut suit is an essential item that’s versatile – buy trousers and a knee-length skirt to go with your tailored jacket then alternate with blouses, vests and t-shirts for a varied yet stylish look.
Special occasions require a special outfit. Go for a floor length empire line gown to cling and drape in the right places – it’s a truly flattering cut to give you a slim silhouette. Combine with a beaded pashmina or sequinned bolero jacket for extra sparkle that provides a welcome cover up if you have problem upper arms.
Go for a casual look and opt for a pair of well-fitting jeans – a bootcut or kickflare is flattering and teamed with this seasons wooden wedge footwear will elongate the leg and give you some welcome height. Wear with a comfy belted knit and fitted t-shirt for a relaxed weekend outfit.
Don’t despair; there are lots of options both on the high street and on the web. A stylish wardrobe can be yours once you know where to look.
When your children are growing up you will probably find you have hundreds of pictures, some you will probably display in picture frames and photo albums but sometimes some great pictures get forgotten. A fun way to show off some of these great pictures is to have the images put on clothing by using t shirt printing, they can be used in any way you want and you have full control of the design. You can choose what size or style of t shirt you want or even have the images put on other things such as jumpers, hoodies, vests or bags the options are endless.
Having your photo’s printed on t shirts and other things also makes great gifts either for your child’s birthday like their 16th, 18th or 21st, or you can give them as gifts to relatives that you haven’t seen for a while. If you use an online printing company such as Splash Logo you can choose from a wide range of items that can be personalised for your needs, plus with a quick turnaround time you designs can be sent out quickly if you have a upcoming birthday or event. Making it easy to share those special moments with the ones you love.
Relax and take it easy in this season’s stunning sports-inspired fashion. From soft jersey pants with subtle pleating for a flattering shape, to cool racer-back vests in the cutest colours, forget the sharp, angular lines of 80’s couture and take it down a notch with comfortable luxe fabrics and easy to wear pieces. Sportswear is no longer dominated by designer menswear but now is much more feminine.
Ideal for the jet-set, this look travels well. An oversized vest is perfect as a beach cover-up or teamed with cute white denim shorts and wedge trainers for a stylish evening look. Buy one in every colour for a versatile summer capsule wardrobe; they’re perfect for layering in cooler climes – go metallic for an instant injection of glamour that can take you straight from beach to bar – just throw on a stunning statement necklace.
The new sporty dresses are simply too gorgeous to leave behind! Look for drapes and halter necks in breathable cotton; choose styles with a twist – a sexy zip or an oversized pocket are subtle details that can make this look really work for you.
Keep it simple with plain white fitted t-shirts and basic shapes – easy pieces that are no effort to wear and take up little room in your wardrobe or suitcase.
Create your own athletic look with touchable grey marl, sweatshirt fabrics, slouchy harem pants and silky tactile parkas. Look for joggers with up-to-the-minute contrasting waistbands and show off your sporty bralet with a stretch cardigan; yes this look allows the wearing underwear as outwear – radical!
This look is easy and luxurious but a word of caution: don’t ruin the essence with worn-out old running shoes – go for soft leather gladiators or a strokable low-heeled suede mule. And don’t even THINK about working out…
Wella have this year deemed 2010 the year of the blonde, new techniques and new shades mean you won’t see people sporting brassy roots and straw-like ends, instead creamy shades of caramel and honey and cool, crisp tones of beige think more natural sun-kissed locks. A good cut for this colour is a choppy, textured bob which the perfect style to show of creamy blonde tones and using ghd sculpting wax to give your hair definition.
If you have longer hair you can still rock the blonde haired look with bright blonde highlights are concentrated around the face while darker shades of blonde sit underneath for a natural look, with natural looking waves on the ends created by using ghd straighteners to get the beach look.
