BIG HAIR IS BACK!

dioni tabbers vogue italiaYep, big hair is back! It probably all started with those Bumpits commercials but the trend is here to stay.....at least for now.

The good news is, it doesn't matter what decade you're into.....1960's, 70's, 80's.....it's
all in!

Going for a mod 60's look? Teased hair at the crown, a little spray, possibly a headband, and you're all set! Want to catch a 70's afro vibe? Try a diffuser on the end of your hairdryer if you've got curly locks, dry with your head upside down and spray with hairspray. For stick straight hair it's best to grab a wig Louis Vuitton style (see picture 6 below). And for 80's rocker chic, there's nothing better than an old school crimping iron and a nice can of Aquanet!

So what do you guys think of the big hair trends?

A. I own Bumpits, backup Bumpits, 18 different products, and carry a teasing comb at all times just in case!

B. Eh, that looks like fun but I think my boyfriend, parents, boss or significant other might have a meltdown.

C. Motley Crue called, they want their hairspray back!

Love All Around,
Cara Mia

HOW TO BE A ROCKSTAR

rockstar fashion modelsSo you wanna be a rockstar? Here's a few fun things to get ya started........

First, never forget your big dark sunglasses....even at night! You never know when the wild festivities will turn into early morning Denny's runs!

Second, mixing various prints just says "I'm a rockstar and I can wear anything I want!" Anything of the animal print variety will do quite nicely.

Always remember to program a taxi service on your cell in case you have a "dude where's my car" moment. Snapping your fingers for the limo driver can work as well. "Chop Chop!"

Remember, you don't have to play an instrument or even sing to be a rockstar....

It is perfectly acceptable to just sit there looking fierce!

Sometimes dating a rockstar guy can get you a "free pass" into the limelight...

But it's much sexier to be confident and independent!

Whether you're a guy or girl, leather and fur (preferably faux fur) should be a staple in your closet.

When in doubt, shred it! Shredding says, "No matter how rich I am, I'm still hardcore!"

Always sport your best pout for those pesky paparazzi photos, you never know where they'll end up!

No rockstar life is complete without spending at least one night at the Chelsea Hotel in NYC and channeling the Sid and Nancy vibe.

And last but not least.....have fun and enjoy your life! There is only one of you in the world, so no matter what anyone says, be the unique rockstar you were created to be!

RACHEL ZOE IS....

rachel zoe and husbandAWESOME! FABULOUS! FIERCE!

O.K., I know there are mixed reviews about her. Some people love her....and others (probably just jealous!) heh heh *insert devious laugh here*

Anyway, love her or otherwise, the following video below is pretty funny. Lately there has been a comedian by the name of Amy Phillips who has been impersonating Rachel and posting it on Youtube. Instead of lashing back, Rachel, having the wonderful sense of humor that she does, embraced the comedian and decided to share the spotlight with her in the latest video called "The Zoeinator."

If you subscribe by email and can't see the video, go directly to Hippie Couture.

Season 3 of The Rachel Zoe Project officially kicks off Tuesday, August 3 at 10:00 EST.

Love All Around,
Cara Mia ♥
