Textured Knot

Hey everyone! Long time no see! I can't wait to show you this new look, which has first appeared at the Band Of Outsiders fall 2013 show. This artfully rumpled style has been created by Duffy, a beauty expert. I've found this tutorial ( well, more like, a video) on Vogue.com on its top 10 stories from this week. I must say that this fashion season will be mostly marked by a little more classier and sleeaker hairstyles, but nevermind, because this is a great mixture of messy and classy! And even though this is a very casual style, it's the texture of the hair that makes it so exceptional!

For more info about the products used in this video (oh yeah, don't be afraid of clicking the link, It's not a virus or a pop-up, It will just open an extra tab and you will watch it there!) you can visit the Vogue page here. And as for the video, just follow this link: http://bcove.me/5i06rgeb

Big Classic Bouffant

I really am a fan of this look, and I always was. It's so classic, feminine and the dramatic cat eye eyeliner is probably my absolute favorite look, although I don't wear it. Anyway, I found this handy tutorial on Bobby Glam Blog, and If you want to check it out you will find lots of these classic hair tutorials. 


Firstly, you need to fit the Hair Booty hair extension to help achieve a big bouffant to rival Brigitte Bardot’s! You need to take a section from the front of your hair to pull back over the Hair Booty once it has been fitted. Like you can see in the pics above, if you have a fringe like me, take the section from behind your fringe. If not, begin so you are in line with your temple. Take a section about 2cm wide to cover the Booty.
Take the sectioned hair and secure with a sectioning clip to keep it out of the way whilst you are fitting your Hair Booty.
Now you need to fit your Hair Booty, the trick here is to put the Booty quite high up on your head as it creates a much bigger and more voluminous bouffant. So the clips of the Booty will be fitted on to the top of your head, with some falling around your crown area. Now, if you’re wanting a super duper bouffant you could always backcomb your hair before you fit the Booty. If you don’t want oodles of volume, you can skip this step … totally up to you.

Once you have your Booty fitted you then need to un-clip the section that you sectioned off in step 1. This will be pulled over to cover the Hair Booty. Backcomb this section a little and spritz with hairspray to ensure all of it is covered.
Pull all of your hair over to one side and secure in place with bobby pins. The side you choose is completely up to you; generally the same side as your fringe works best.

Then if you have a fringe, you need to pull this over and secure neatly with a bobby pin. If you don’t have a fringe you can just pull a section of hair to the side and secure it with a bobby pin too … it should still look the same.
Next you need to take your hair straighteners or curling tongs, whichever you prefer, and carefully add a few curls throughout the ends of your hair. Be sure to start the curl from the mid-lengths of your hair to achieve that classical look!

Holiday Hairstyle Inspiration

Hey! I haven't posted anything a long time ago... sorry about that. But I'm very happy today, because here, it's Christmas! I've spent this day wathching some Christmas movies like 'Home Alone' with my family and of course, eating! And I am so excited, so It seemed nice to post sometnig finaly. So, these are my top three festive, kinda, holiday inspired hairstyles, and I have a tutorial for each one of them! I hope you'll enjoy it! And Merry Christmas to everyone who is celebrating it today just like me!!!


No1: Loosley Curled Chignon
This is a tutorial I found on She Lets Her Hair Down, (actually I found all of these tutorials there) and I really like that blog! It's so inspirational, and you can really find any hair tutorial! I love it, thank you! 

Prep your hair by spraying hair spray all over it and brushing it through twice to have a texture that can easily be molded. You need that "dirty" texture in order for your hair to hold a curl and to achieve a hairstyle like this. 

Separate a section of hair at the top of your head and clip it out of the way.
Curl all of the rest of your hair in whichever direction you'd like. This doesn't need to have a rhyme or reason to it because it is just to give your hair texture. Once it is all curled, separate the curled hair into two equal sections and twist them until you reach your ends. 

Keep twisting them together and overlap the two sections over and over to create a loose bun at the back of your head. Pin the bun in place using strong bobby pins. Don't make it too tight on the sides. Take down the section of hair at the top of your head and curl it all going back and away from your face. Loosely separate the curls with your fingers.

Bring the curled hair at the top of your head back towards your bun and twist the ends so you can pin it into place. Loosely pin the top section towards the back using hair pins. The look should be loose and have a little bit more volume at the top than on the sides. 


No2: Mini Crown Braid
As always, it's best to have slightly dirty hair so your braids stay in place and so you can easily attach pins into your hair. Here are some products you can use to give your hair that "dirty hair" texture.


 Start with a small triangle section on one side of your middle part. Split that small section into three smaller sections. Start a normal three strand braid by taking the section that is closest to your middle part and bringing it under the middle section making it now the middle section. Now take the section closest to your forehead and bring it under the middle section.

You're now going to add hair to your three strand braid by taking a long section from your middle part to where your braid is laying. Add that hair into the section that is closest to your middle part.

Now take that whole section under the middle one making it the new middle. Next, take the section closest to your forehead and bring it under the middle section (you're not adding hair on this side). Now you will repeat steps 4 and 5 until you reach the end of your middle part (about 3 times).


After reaching the end of your middle part, you will continue braiding like normal without adding hair.
Once you absolutely can't braid that hair anymore, you can tie it off with a small elastic band or with a bobby pin.Repeat the same braid on the other side and secure it at the end.

Wrap each braid around your head and pin the ends into the braid on the other side. Hide your pins and the ends of your hair by tucking them under the other braid. It might help to add some hairspray to the spot where you will pin the ends into to make sure the pins and braid stay in place.


No3: Stars Chignon
I already posted a very similar tutrorial, you can look up the tutrorial here. But If you would like if you want to look up the whole tutorial go to She Lets Her Hair Down. Here's a quick gif to show you how to warp the chignon, and for the rest well, I already posted the link. 
Don't forgent to get the "dirty" texture, it's essential. You will need strong bobbi pins, hairspray and an  festive accessorie (optional).  


The star bobbi pins are as I said, optional. Here is the original DIY tutorial for the star bobbi pins that she used here, or you can buy also similar bobbi pins on Ebay

Good luck!

Red carpet: Kristen Stewart looks at the 'Breaking Dawn Part 2' premieres

Hey guys! I've been following the events that have been happening in the past few weeks and one of them in the wold premiere of the last epic ending of 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2'. I haven't watched it still, but I will soon. Untill that, here's the total roundup from all of the looks that Kristen wore at the premieres in L.A, London, Madrid and Berlin.


First, there's the picutre from the L.A. premiere and she looked so divine. With that transparent nude lace that creates that certan look,  and with the makeup she was so elegant that i can't even. But, enought about that.

The second pic is a very bold look. I liked that she goes a little bold in fashion. Anyway that nice transparent black laced overall is very nice. Feminine. I liked it!

Okay, so the next dress is from the Madrid premiere and is much less elegant than the other dresses. But that is a very flirty, summer dress in the color - fluorescent yellow, and we can's forget the heels. They are like a big finishing touch to the look and breaking all the yellow.

At the end there's the beautiful gold dress (wich is my favorite) at the Berlin premiere. I just love the way the dress looks on her, and the beautiful gold makeup, made her look fawless.  But which one of these is your favorite?

Red Carpet: MTV EMA 2012

Hey! I haven't posted for a while... sorry for that. But, as you already know, something really amazing is happening right now as I'm writing this post. Yeah, that's right - the 2012 MTV European Awards! Follow everything live now right here! And stay tuned with everything by going to tv.mtvema.com! Heidi Klum, I have to say looks so beautiful! I'm so excited! So here are my top 4 red carpet looks from this year's EMA:

The first look is from the gorgeous Taylor Swift, who looked absolutely enchanting in this haute couture J. Mendel dress. Her whole look was so elegant and feminine, just the words to describe her personality. So, I think she deserved the Best Look award, because she really looked  gorgeous. Nice work Taylor!

Next, there's the uprising star Rita Ora. She looked so different from all the girls on the red carpet in this Marchesa dress. And I really liked it, so cute and has elegance. Gorgeous combination! Rita really did her homework! 

Also another uprising star, the inevitable Lana Del Rey. She had so much class in that simple blue silk dress. Absolutely divine and simple. Very good for your first EMAs!

 And last, but not the least, the super mom Alicia Keys. Also keeping it simple in this beautiful Stella McCartney dress. Nice accessories and makeup, and all in all a great combination! Don't forget her fire preformance at the EMAs, she really was the girl on fire! 


Who was your favorite?

Inspiration/ Ebba Zingmark

Okay, first I probably have to write a huge alpology letter to all of my folowers who have waited this long for a post. I'm really sorry, but, school started and I've been busy (sorry, I always say that, but It's true). There's a lack of new tutorials so when I find one new I promise, I will post it right away. Untill then I think I should make this blog a little more personal, and post things like my new fashion inspirations. There are some amazing people all around the wold! And this girl is just the  beggining. But, these kinds of posts won't be posted like, all the time, just once a month (maybe). Take a look at these gorgeous girl and her amazing & original fashion sense:

EBBA ZINGMARK 
She's a 16 year old girl from a little town in northern Sweden. And besides being a student she's also working as a fashion blogger at the swedish fashion-site modette.se. Visit it here. I love her blog because she is fearless when it comes to showing her style and she shows her complete personality throught her blog. Every post is well thought and I love to read them. She always creates original wearable combinations that I have never thought it could be put together! She is really talented!


“At most I get my inspiration from my friends and people around me, and because the styles of the persons who inspires me is very varieted my own style gets very mixed. I love looking a little bit fairytale, but still in an edgy way” – Ebba
