Fall 2010 Hairstyles & Haircuts

Stores are starting to put out all the back-to-school stuff, so you know it’s time for you to start thinking about your look for the fall. Start school off with a fresh color and cut that suits your personality.
Summer blonde can last through all seasons, especially if you maintain it well. The right shampoo, conditioner and styling/finishing products can make all the difference. Use products that hydrate and protect from sun damage as well as styling and finishing products that will protect your hair from hot tools. Try to leave a day between washing if your hair is all-over color processed or heavily highlighted to give your natural oils time to permeate and protect your hair. Fall styles are less curly, but not stick straight. Take advantage of the more natural textures that are “in” which allows you to lay off the curling iron or flat iron for a while. If hair has gotten a little bleached out, tone it down a little with warmer blondes for the fall season.
2010 Fall Blonde Hair Style
For a fun alternative to the long straight style, get a shaggy shoulder length bob that you can loosely curl to dress it up. The fully inverted bob is out and instead we have longer, softer layers that give the hair body while still looking sweet and feminine. Keep the part on the side for the girl-next-door feel or part it down the middle for a more dramatic effect.

This cut looks great with richer colors, too. Spicy reds and darker browns are all flattering with this shoulder-dusting style that frames the face. Keep bangs longer to sweep across the forehead for the more romantic feel or have them blunt cut for an edgier style. To get the softness, add volumizing mousse then use a medium or large round brush when hair is mostly dry and blow it out.

Retro styles are coming back, too, so don’t be afraid of a more uniformly layered cut with lots of body. Keep curls less perfect by adding a texturizing product or combing through the curls with your fingers. They shouldn’t be quite as beachy as the summer curls, but you don’t want perfect spirals, either. Separating the curls with your fingers or twisting them around a bit helps take that perfect edge off. You can also flip your head upside down and spray with hairspray to add some volume. A medium hold hairspray should be all you need to keep this style in place while still allowing for movement.

Want to be stylin’ like Jersey Shore’s “Snooki?” Nicole Polizzi got a makeover and the new style is much softer and more flattering than the old one. The bump is toned down and the color is a fabulous rich brown that looks healthy. Her hair is smooth and straight but not severe at all. No bangs, but long layers keep the style from being over-the-top harsh. Use a leave-in conditioner and a light hold hairspray to keep hair looking soft and touchable and keep those fly away hairs in place.
Fall trends are all about color and unique styles, so don’t be afraid to express yourself through one or the other.

I wish I had the kind of life that necessitated silver cheese trays, a 10-man hot tub, hostess pajamas, and these...

All The Leaves



All the leaves are brown,

And the sky is grey.

I went for a walk,

On a winter's day.

We're having a little resurgence of summer temperatures here. The 'leafers' are out in full force, clogging up the bike paths with their awkward gaits and expensive Nikons. Still, it's lovely. I have returned home several times this week with leaves the shade of pumpkin, ochre, and rust in my tangled mane. Perhaps a better way to celebrate the season is adopting more deliberate, less dandruff-like, foliage. I'm particularly fond of the acorn/leaf combo bib necklace below:

cool Cornrows Hairstyle for men

cool Cornrows Hairstyle for men 2009
Cool Mens Haircuts - cornrows haircuts

Similar to the afro "cornrows" are a hairstyle that has its origins in the African tradition. The hair is thereby braided close to the scalp. It is important not to be braided too tight as this could cause headache or even hair loss when worn for a longer period of time. Loosely braided cornrows can be worn for weeks as long as it is carefully washed and oiled. Cornrows can be braided in single rows or in certain geometric forms which may take some hours to complete. This hairstyle is famous among hip hop and rap musicians.

The color of the hair can be enriched and the texture of the hair can appear lightened, darker or can even appear fuller than before the color has been applied. So start styling brown hairstyles and try one of these cool brown hair hairstyles for 2010:

B Mine, B Makowsky

I get kicked out of the The Bay for fondling B Makowsky handbags like regular people get shoo'd from the supermarket bulk isle for grazing on the cashews. I finally bought a little red satchel, and like Lays, "betcha I can't have just one". Damnit.


Varick Crossbody $272 at Zappos.



If you're not familiar with the brand, sold at QVC/Nordstroms/Macys, it's probably because they are relatively new on the scene (since 2006). I think the husband and wife team (Makowsky is married to fellow handbag designer Kathy Van Zeeland) have found their niche in the $200-$300 range. Made from super-malleable drum leather, or 'glove' leather, the bags feature metal hardware that really stands out against clean lines and a minimalist silhouette. A couple past collections had a teensy bit of fringing, studding, or weaving. On the whole, these are just really elegant leather bags in rich colours and traditional shapes. Look for the telltale leopard print lining from the past few years or the current paisley version.


Lahaina satchel $99 (Reg $250) on Amazon
So, why B Makowsky? Well, I recommend buying handbags much like you would buy a cantaloupe, using both appearance and intuition - touch, sniff, hold one in each hand to judge the difference in weight and heft. Of course, you could just take my word that this is the cantaloupe for you. The leather, being drum dyed, should retain it's colour even if scratched or scuffed (the dye penetrates the hide better). The chunky metal hardware usually has a satin finish and is really sturdy, especially when held up against brands of comparable price like Roots, Fossil, and Coach. If you're particularly brutal on your baggage I'd recommend a style with thicker straps to prevent fraying or breakage. You're going to want to wear this bag for a while!

Q: Why did God invent beer?

A: So the Irish wouldn't rule the world.
Every once in a while I treat myself to a foreign fashion magazine, the kind you have to get at a megaretailer like Chapters rather than the corner kiosk:

A) It makes me feel extra fancy while I sit in my Hanes sweats and drink coffee.

B) I can forgive the unavailability of some items, language barriers, and constant currency conversion; I don't exactly make a laundry list of "price upon request" items I plan to buy out of US Vogue anyway.

C) The Sartorialist, being but one man, can only take fantastic street-style photos and blog about them one locale at a time. I need more globetrotting peoplespotting than that, but just don't have the Air Miles.


I was recently farmsitting for my folks while they, being semi-retired, pubcrawled across Ireland. Mama Bear sent envious highlight emails while I looked after the geriatric cat and octogenarian dog. Now, this hometown is too small to stock the latest issues of Vogue Italia or Jalouse (you would have to drive 100 clicks just to find a Playboy, my male friends tell me), so coming back to the city a few weeks later I feel a might out of sorts.

To hear Mama Bear tell, it's all paint-on skinnies and jeggings (*shudder* - worst chimera ever!) over there. And although Papa didn't allow for an official Arnott's visit, she managed to make note of the biggest trends. Handkerchief hems, lots of swingy/draped tops, rugby jerseys, and everything is over-accessorized (by North American standards, that is). Even the men have style. They're beating us.

It's unsurprising that the Irish are ahead of our curve, just like the British cousins. High Street retailers like Topshop, Next and French Connection consistently churn out affordable designs that both mimic and inform high fashion. Now, I'm not saying that Frida Giannini is scouring the H&M sale rack before designing Gucci's next collection, but the last few decades have seen a real shift in semiotics of fashion, in the dynamic between producer and consumer.

Designers cater to celebrities, who have the tremendous exposure required to launch careers in an industry of which they are not, strictly, a part (only Mrs. Obama could make a name like Prabal Gurung remotely pronounceable).

Consumers-come-connoisseurs are the new front-row staples (Tavi, bless her prepubescent heart) and designer muses (think models-turned-actresses-turned-spokesmodels Diane Kruger & Charlize Theron).

Remember Madonna (mis?)appropriating the 80's gay scene and Gwen Stefani incorporating Tokyo's Harajuku district style into her stage show and clothing line. These paragons of reinvention have been pirating street style for decades, but the industry acceptance of such tastemakers' legitimacy and importance is something new. Most recently, street style bloggers (ie: less euphemistically, peoplewatchers) have become the arbiters of what is 'happening'. The truly apt of this group are also the most valuable, commercially. Those who can spot what is about to happen, are worth their weight. Trendforecasting agencies hunt for people so in-the-know that they can predict oncoming tidal waves of consumer desire; it pays to be a precogniscent peoplewatcher. Seems they get swag and sometimes (gasp!) real jobs.


Two of Ireland's best Facehunter-esque blogs:

1) Fashionfilosophy claims to be "Ireland's 1st" street-style and fashion blog.

2) Also, DublinStreets is cute.


I am curious enough to do a little more research into what the fine Irish lads and lasses are wearing. In July of this year, The Irish Post issued a collection of six stamps honouring Irish designers and their eponymous collections. It's a good place to start, at least until I get my hands on a copy of If magazine.

Nike Air Max 360 Wallpapers

On 21 January 2006 Nike launched the Air Max 360, a new shoe design that utilized Max Air throughout the shoes midsole.

In September 2006 Nike introduced a special 'one time only pack' which fused the 360 model with three classics. The three shoes used were the Air Max 90, Air Max 95, and Air Max 97. For this special release, the design of the 360 sole was used in place of the normal sole of the three classics. The shoes were released in the three original colors: red for the Air Max 90, green/yellow for the Air Max 95, and grey/silver for the Air Max 97. Like other Air Max releases, deluxe editions were also produced. These deluxe editions lasted for about 500 miles (800 km) before their shock absorbing properties deteriorated. The use of '360' of air cushioning is meant to ensure the shoes longevity.

Nike Air Max 95 Pictures

The Air Max 95 was based on the human anatomy, with the spine of the shoe resembling the human spine and the original materials to represent skin etc. Although stores were reluctant to stock this shoe because of its high technology and hence high price tag, they took a chance and it became the first shoe to be more than £100.00 sold in JD Sports. However they are often replicated and sold on the Internet for a small fraction of cost.

According to a new police database, the footwear of choice for criminals are Nikes with Nike Air Max 95s being the most popular.

Air Max cushioning has been used in shoes for almost all sports by now including basketball, cross training, golf, casual shoes, sandals, tennis, etc.; however the "Nike Air Max" is always a running shoe. An example of a basketball shoe would be "Air Max Uptempo."

Known as the Air Max III until 2000, when it was reissued taking its name from the year of its launch year. The original colourway of white/black/cool grey with infrared was chosen to exaggerate the thickness of the sole air unit. The AM90 is especially popular in Europe.
