Long or short hair can be glammed up by using volumizing mouse and hot rollers. Don’t have hot rollers on hand? Try curling with an iron and pinning in place using bobby pins and spritzing with a light hold spray . apply your make up while the curls set and cool off. Take out pins or rollers and run a large tooth comb through your hair. This will create sexy waves that will last all night.

As I go through my everyday rituals of leafing through fashion magazines, surfing sites like style.com and watching my favorite reality shows one thing remains depressingly the same. The eighties are here to stay, and if you’re like me, you spent the last few seasons with an up turned nose, passing the racks of leggings and acting appalled at the return of colored skin tight jeans.
During one of my many lunch trips to Starbucks, inside Barnes and Noble, I surveyed the woman’s sections of magazines, leafing through Runway, Elle, Style and finally coming across a magazine that should have earned the title of a book. It was a large 320 page magazine entitled The Vogue collections, Paris Fall-Winter 2010. So I did as any other fashionista would do, I purchased it grabbed a drink from starbucks and hurried to sit down and leaf through hundreds of photos straight from the runways of the worlds top designers. After studying the magizine I came up with good news, the in your face eighties garb has taken on a sophisticated refined styling, if it were an album the next season would be titled The Best of the 80’s. So what does this all mean, and what can we prepare our selves for this season? Well as with any other trend always mix it with classic pieces, and you won’t look like your “over doing “ it. (never spend your entire wardrobe budget on trends. ) Here are my top ten picks that aren’t going anywhere, at least this season.
1. Ruffle front blouses
2. Large bold belts
3. Leggings
4. Skinny jeans
5. Vests
6. Cage shoes
7. Flannel
8. Bold neon Colors
9. Studs, pyramid studs
10. Animal print
