The Latest Trend ~ Top Knots…

I’m really not sure how this trend ever started but would you really call this style?

I’m sorry, I know this is a big hit with everyone right now, but I cant help but feel like this is a look for lolling around at home or for jumping in the shower, (which is when I usually have my hair like this for)  but for it to appear outdoors in public on everyone from Miley Cyrus to Nicole Ritchie (who I have every respect for when it comes to style) but still, I’m just not feeling this one.

Sorry to the girls at Dekko, just my point of view.. Here’s an article from Star magazine this week about it, I must say I do think Julianne Hough’s looks pretty cool on her, cos it looks abit more than a round ball on top of her head!

Renegade Fair Hair

Its been a long time since I’ve been out on the streets looking for my ‘Cool Mops’ for my blog, and I didn’t actually intend to go approaching people again, but once I walked around the Renegade Arts and Crafts Fair yesterday, (an Annual Event held at the Fort Mason in San Francisco) I noticed a few good looking Hair (and stylish) girls around. So out came my i-phone and before I finished up for the day I went snapping away.

Here are some of the looks I  saw and because I’m so out of practice I only got a few of their names so hopefully they might see this and I can add it later, Thanks girls for posing for me and  letting me put you on my blog.

Fashion Illustrator ~ Julie Verhoeven

I came across this talented English artist in the magazine ‘Plastic Dreams’ and loved her bright colorful artwork. Not only is Julie’s work colorful but Julie herself as well as her home is vibrant and full of color.

Her doe eyed trendy figures have used and illustrated on bags for LV and Mulberry, swimsuits for Versace and lip gloss tubes for Lancôme. Her designs are also published in Vogue, Dazed and Confused and The face magazines as well as working with other companies such as H & M home.

She has a permanent collection in the Victoria and Albert Museum with around 40 of Julie’s drawings, Now that’ what you call an achievement. Excellent!

Here are 2 of my favorite picks of  her drawings:

Julie reveals that she is inspired by pop culture, city lie, music and also by her own mortality, so to move forward she is finding new ways to express herself – Darker, gritty and less pretty. We cant wait to see more of her work.

New York Post -China star: sex tale a ‘smear’

Thanks to my clients, here’s an Interesting article I came across in the New York Post….

true or false??

 

Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi has strongly denied reports she earned $100 million by having

sex with disgraced politician Bo Xilai — and astonishingly, sources close to the “Crouching

Tiger, Hidden Dragon” star blame the reports on a smear campaign by a rival actress. It was

reported that Zhang earned a fortune by prostituting herself to powerful Chinese men between

2007 and 2011, including to Xilai, who was recently removed from power following allegations

he was involved in a murder plot. At the time, Zhang was dating financier Vivi Nevo.

They were engaged in 2008, but split in 2010. Last night, reps for Zhang said she was

consulting lawyers to sue for libel.

Her rep said, “The accusations made against [Zhang] are completely false and defamatory.

There is no truth in any of the allegations that have come forth, which are a result of cal-

curated, cruel intentions against a well-respected, established actress. Legal repercussions

are ensuing, and these slanderous reports will not be tolerated in any way.” Sources told us

that Zhang believes the allegations were spread by a “jealous rival.” One said, “This isn’t

the first time vicious rumors have been spread about her in the Chinese media by somebody

who wants her roles and her success.

” The source declined to name the rival, but added, “We will not put up with this, and will

take every action necessary.”

Hit or Miss.. Hats

Quite extraordinary talent I would say to be able to mold the hair or whatever medium was used to create these hats to look like hair. Hairstylist Olivier Chomienne was the talent behind these creations..

What do you think? Likey or No likey?
