Braided with Color

☝☝☝

Natasha Poly's hair speaks punk and looks chic. But it's the braid that creates a feel of chic infused with a punk back-bone. For the ladies with long blonde hair, EXPERIMENT!! You are blessed with a large, light, canvas to create artwork so style away!

another example of the magic created by the collision of color and braid on the runway:

It may be "2000 and late" but black lips are my current obsession. If you're gonna go with it, make your eyes as natural-looking as you can otherwise you'll over do it and look like one of the KISS band members. Use light silver, white or nude eye shadow, and a dash of mascara to complete the look. You can also use a little bit of eyeliner but keep it minimal.

NO!! YES!!

Here's a couple lipsticks that'll do the trick. ;-)
