Obsessed. I’m not sure how willing I am to tease like crazy but perhaps…I’m love-love-loving this tutorial from BJonesStyle.

Always have been, always will be a fan of big hair. Done right, of course.

Style Inspiration (Cheryl Ladd in Charlie’s Angels)

I recently found myself watching a Charlie’s Angels (the original) episode. I was shocked by the bad acting and the amazing fashion! Mostly the fashion.Raz I was particularly impressed by Cheryl Ladd. I want to recreate every single outfit of hers. I’m slightly obsessed. The 70s fashion is totally applicable to today. Don’t you think? My favorite things: her oversized sunglasses, her hair and her high-waisted pants.

Would You Wear? {Turbans}

Women of the western world have been dabbling in turban-wear for quite a while. But, if you’re acquainted with the Man Repeller, you know that turbans are not one of the most attractive things you can wear (according to men…but who cares!). However, it is easy, fashionable and a fabulous way to disguise unwashed hair. Personally I love it but have not tried it. For some reason, I feel like it looks better with a tan (doesn’t everything?). PS – I discovered airbrush spray tanning. Life changer. I digress. What do you think of turbans? My final thought is that it takes a chic person to make the turban look chic.

Top Knot Tutorial

Lately I have been really into topknots, buns, chignons (a la @OscarPRGirl below) and have been looking around for relevant instructions. The easiest way I’ve found is to either use a hair piece or place a clip around your pony tail and wrap the hair around that to make it fatter. I still haven’t grasped the whole teasing concept.

I’ve found two helpful instructions for you (and me). From Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere here and below from NWA’s own Anna of TulipLouise and StyleBy.Me.

I’m hoping to add my own eventually!
