I would describe my style as '50s Glamour Chic' and Marilyn Monroe, Dita Von Teese and Greta Garbo are my style icons. I like it when people dress according to their bodyshape instead of following trends. Today I'm wearing a Reprobates dress and Peacocks shoes.

Fashion addicts looking for fabulous, lush hair, rejoice: Designer Mara Hoffman has joined forces with Sebastian Professional to create an UH-MAY-ZING limited edition designer gift available now in salons. The whole shebang comes with Sebastian Professional's Volupt shampoo and conditioner, plus a punchy, print headscarf that Hoffman created exclusively for Sebastian, but was inspired by the designs in her Spring 2013 collection.
Of the scarf, Hoffman said, "It's great for versatility; it can be worn in multiple ways and is a fun way to incorporate a great print into any outfit."
Shopping for new spring stuff can put a huge dent in your pocket, but the set, which has a $120 value, will retail for only $25 bucks at Sebastian-approved salons. You can add this to your essentials for spring to help give your wardrobe a fresh look. Bonus: Try this really chic way to rock your scarf post purchase.

I'm wearing boots and socks from Topshop and dress and jewellery from Juicy Couture. The headphones are from Wesc. I wear whatever makes me feel happy - I love bright colours!

I love designer stuff -- guess I'm a snob like that -- but the truth is I can't really afford it as much as I would like to. So, I get super insanely excited when beauty brands do partnerships with the badass designers that I dig.
The latest: Sally Hansen's Fashion Week Inspired shades for Prabal Gurung, Alexander Wang and Tracy Reese. Not only are the polishes $8 each, they're also are part of the Complete Salon Manicure line, which might be the easiest polish to DIY of all time. (The formula is designed to not only paint nails, but add a high-sheen topcoat that prevents chipping, too.) And while I love all three collections, I'm kind of obsessed with Prabal's the most -- the shades are just so freaking fierce.
The Spring 2013 Prabal Gurung show took inspiration from the amaze sculptor Anish Kapoor, and featured gauzy tees, chiffon tops and geometric designs that are Gurung's trademarks. To compliment his line, he created three lacquers with Sally Hansen: Apparition, a gunmetal shade I plan on rocking for nights out; Resurrection, a grayish blue that looks made for a summer pedi; and Angel Bite, an incredibly sultry deep red. I swear I'm gonna wear it on my toes till the end of time, and my editor, Rachel, swears she may just only wear it for the rest of her life. Frankly, it's the first time a seen a really cool, bluish red.
Did I mention each of the bottles cost $8 each? That's a LOT cheaper than this Prabal scoopneck dress I've been lusting after. Thanks to Sally Hansen I can now at least say I own something from the designer.
