Fash Trends - Fabulous Buns

Whether you're strutting through New York's Fashion District or attending a fancy holiday event, there's no denying that the ballerina bun has become 2011's most versatile hairstyle. For those of you first timers to the bun world, don't let this classic updo intimidate you. The stylish alternative to a ponytail is actually incredibly easy to achieve. And the best part... there's no right or wrong way to wear it. You can take the messy route or opt for a more sleek alternative, either way the secret is to calmly manipulate your hair and use bobby pins to tame the strays. Not only does it give you a clean, powerful and polished look but it only takes a minute to create. Below are some of my favorite celebrities rocking beautiful buns as their stylish ensembles best accessory. Get inspired by their fashion forward updo's and incorporate them as a stunning staple into your fall wardrobe. I promise after a few tries, it'll seem as easy as a ponytail. Which celebrity do you think is rocking the best bun?

Having An Orange Moment

Ever since orange was dubbed the new red during the Spring 2011 runway shows, the bright shade has been a burning obsession for all of Hollywood's most stylish celebrities. The explosive and bold color not only demands attention, but also compliments a variety of skin tones while accentuating your natural glow. Whether it's against Kate Bosworth and Britney Snow's perfectly pale pigments or the bronze tones of Zoe Saldana, orange is bound to give you a sunset glow that no other color can compete with. If your skin complexion falls into the olive or darker category opt for deeper shades of orange and save the lighter and brighter shades for those with a paler complexion. Above I'm wearing a vibrant orange dress from H&M which I cinched in with a skinny Forever 21 belt and paired with my favorite pair of black Mary Jane pumps. Girls, it's time to be daring this fall. Incorporate a citrus burst into your wardrobe, whether it be a dress or a cropped trouser. For a more subtle approach try making your neural ensembles pop by accessorizing them with an orange envelope clutch or ankle boot. I also strongly suggest trying OPI's "on the same paige" nail polish or Estee Lauder's "orange crush" lip gloss. Both are utterly uh-mazing. Below are pictures of celebrities rocking the bright and bold trend. Which look is your favorite?

Fashion Week Fix Up

Spring 2012 Fashion Week has officially begun and the stunning creations are more fabulous than ever. Just as we're sipping on our pumpkin spice lattes, packing up our airy Summer pieces and bashfully transitioning into Fall, we're teased with Springs bright and adventurous designs as they strut down the runway during fashion's favorite time of the year. My favorite trends shutting it down at NY's fashion week thus far are the mint colored textiles and double slit skirts. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't already feverishly planning several future outfit post. So far I'm most impressed with Christian Siriano's runway showcase. His fabulous statement pieces are utterly breathtaking and coming to grips with the fact that the deliciously orange gown pictured left may never hang in my closest is enough to cause a fash tear. For now, the stylist in me can't help but mentally dress the stars in my favorite runway looks. Below I've pulled some of Spring 2012's show stopping looks and paired them with the celebrities I think would rock them the best. Which runway show has been your favorite thus far?
