what should i do with my HAIR?

DON'T GET TO EXCITED WITH THE HAIR
This summer the trends are very defined and easy.

PONYTAILS

Ponytails make a fresh and juvenile look. It makes life much easier for those that have really long hair in working hours. This summer is the time to put your hair up!

 Gwyneth is the perfect example that ponytails are not just for the day but also for the nights. You will look amazing if you are wearing very attractive clothes, i would avoid wearing them with pastel colors, because you might end up looking like a doll.


Gwyneth Paltrow
UNTIDY BUN

If you don't like your ears, because you find them too big, too small...whatever, this will be perfect for you. To be successful and look pretty don't use a brush, do it with your hands, your hair will look wilder.

 HIGH BUN

 Sharon Stone one of the most gorgeous woman in all times, have not looked more beautiful than in "Casino" when she worn this high and huge bun. This bun is perfect if you are wearing a closed-neck dress or shirt.

OSCAR DE LA RENTA
 BALLET BUN

 The black Swan without doubt a very controversial movie. Some people love it some people heat it. This film has made a return to the ballet bun, very rounded, low and perfect.

30's STYLE

If you wear your hear loose, make your that is not all over your face, this summer is about neatness. The 30's style that Marlene Dietrich stared, is back this year, for good!
You can re-create it but also be inspired by it and do a new look.

 P.S: if you like your hair loose and messy, is perfectly comprehensible, (I do), just take any chance if you have any special occasion going on to look rarely fabulous.

STRIPES

Time for stripes...
Andrea Klarin
 Stars shapes and Polka dots have been very into fashion lately, maybe because we see both in the indie culture and the vintage concept that has become more and more noticeable. 
I think stars are fun, they are very arty. In the other hand, I absolutely adore Polka dots (maybe because as a spanish I have to) they are elegant and classy. 
Stripes have the good qualities of both, they suit every occasion, they can be either distinguish or very funky and juvenile.



Prada
Jil Sander
To renew this look do not be shy, try to combine different wideness of the bands and play around with the colours, blue navy and red are not the only possibilities.

Harper's Bazaar
Try not only to mess around with the colours but also with the inclination of the stripes,  put some vertical and diagonal lines, and it will look much more cutting edge.

Sonia Rykiel


  Black and white stripes have become like a neutral colour in itself , It is the easiest way to wear stripes in a fabulous way. I would recommend you to wear accessories that have very highly saturated colours, you will look awesome.

DESERT NOMADS...

I am going to propose you a trip you will not reject.


 I say, lets go to the Sahara dessert, to experiment the sun as never before.
Where the water is the word "hallelujah" and sandstorms are the only noise.
Lets go where the earth breathes colours, and colours are its soul.






This trip is not new, it has been done plenty of times. However the look that this summer  is brought with this Sahara concept is different from the others.

Vena Cava
This summer is not about the most extravagant and luxurious things. The inspiration comes from the most humblest spot


The colours are the most important characteristic but textures play also an essential role.

Alberta Ferreti
Marc Jacobs



All the garments come very voluptuous, they are like parachutes ready to be blown in the wind. Try to get for this summer light fabrics to succeed in having this effect.

Vanessa Bruno
Vena Cava



Chloe
Christian Cota
From the very nude hues to the darkest browns. This neutral colours are very powerful when they have reddish and greenish accents.




Lanvin
Fashion Fringe
Brioni
Military green combined with different ochres are a must. Soft and curved lines are not just the only option,  strong and straight lines are absolutely necessary to have an equilibrium. Otherwise it will be a little to boho for this summer.

 Combine this trend with all the others,  putting some bright tones is an excellent idea. Ombre dying, or long items are other great ways to wear it,  if you dare not to put it together with motifs, stripes, 70's style...


Turbans are the key.


 
In order to orientalize try to wear a turban or something similar, do not feel shy, it has been worn for hundreds of year, so It can't be useless.
