Health, Fashion, Parenting and Women Related Issues

So it seems Cory Kennedy’s been up to her usual tricks. Partying til 6 in the morning and getting herself noticed by hitting all the hot music venues wearing a montage of stylish gear. As her popularity grows, you can’t help but wonder what is it about her that people find so interesting? I’ve concluded that there are two points of intrigue. Her style and her lifestyle.

Style-wise Cory possesses both the ability to throw together an outfit that ends up looking effortlessly cool and somehow manages to make a pair of $700 boots look like she found them behind a dumpster. It’s a strong combination of both and neither of which should be taken for granted. And although the later may seem like a downfall, it’s exactly the opposite. Taking a high fashion item and pairing it with casual pieces makes it wearable throughout her inner circle. Cory’s following is a young, hip crowd rather than women of refined sophistication. So the “downgrade” she brings to high fashion couture is actually an introduction of versatility..Giving the ok to hipsters everywhere to step out of their black grubs and embrace a look that’s loyal to their code of artsy rebellion while appearing fashionable.

Here Cory Kennedy wears a simple tshirt, wild screen printed leggings and Emilio Pucci rain boots. She doesn’t reserve the Pucci boots for a special occasion or even a wet, rainy night. Instead she pairs them with a colorful outfit and ends up looking rad.

Cory pulls it off because she dresses like she doesn’t give a shit when she clearly cares a great deal about fashion and devotes a lot of time and energy to branding her style. And people have taken notice. Needless to say, she’s working with a well fortified wardrobe to start. So even if she dresses every morning by picking up the first article of clothing on her floor, chances are it’ll be a coveted funky piece to work with. She obviously has a love of shopping, a daring take on fashion and a steady cash flow to support it all.

It’s been a big year for women’s fashion. We’ve gone back in time, oohing and aahing at the plush but completely impractical period styles seen in The Duchess and The Other Boleyn Girl. We’ve inched into the 20th Century with vintage fashions from The Edge of Love and Brideshead Revisited and embraced the cutting-edge contemporary clothes as worn in The House Bunny and High School Musical 3: Senior Year. The fashions have taken us through the seasons and to all corners of the globe from the sing-a-long sunshine of a Greek island in Mamma Mia! to the urban Manhattan chic of Meg Ryan and co. in The Women. And talking of Manhattan, there was also some other little fashion film about four women there that you might have heard of called Sex and the City. So before we make space in our wardrobes anticipating the great onscreen styles that 2009 promises with the likes of Confessions of a Shopaholic and Bride Wars, we’re taking a look back at 2008 and picking our top three women’s fashion spots. Trust us, it’s not been easy. Read more

9 times out of 10, I think women look best when keeping their hair color close to its natural shade, with a few added highlights to bring out the texture of the cut. This usually compliments your skin tone and eye color etc. Being a brown-eyed brunette, I always figured I’d look foolish as a blond..with dark roots and mismatched eyebrows, I deemed the look as being all wrong. That is, until now. With the new technique of highlighting, called bayalage, I am ready to enter summer with a whole new look of natural sun-kissed highlights. Ok, enhanced-natural.

Gisele Bündchen’s bleached waves generated so much attention, it wasn’t long before celebrities fled to their hair stylist seeking the same multi-tonal do’ So, I wondered…what is this new buzz word ‘balayage’ and what makes it so different?

Balayage, a French word meaning ‘to sweep’ is a new method of highlighting which lightens the hair gradually from root to tip. This technique has shaken the salons from coast to coast because it achieves an ultra-natural effect by mimicing nature’s way of lightening hair. Hair should always be darker on the base of the hair shaft or the root area, rather then having light roots and dark ends. To balayage the hair, a lightening agent is painted on using a brush and paddle in a sweeping motion giving the hair colorist a bit more room to play and less methodical streaks. Foils aren’t used and the precision of the fine-tooth comb weaving in tiny streaks is no longer necessary. The thick mixture of lightener is applied onto a section of hair using one of three paint designs: singles, slants and V’s. The stylist uses a “sweeping” motion to apply lightener from thin at the roots to thicker towards the ends. This provides ultimate control over color application, allows for less outgrowth, much more color contrast within the hair and since the process requires no heat or foils, the hair experiences minimal damage (which is key for those of us with long hair).
