Metallics are back and better than ever. They are popping up in the likes of boyfriend blazers in rose gold from 3.1 by Phillip Lim, silver lamay strappy sandals from Urban Outfitters, and these killer gray lamay shorts from Bloomingdale’s.

At first glance, this rose gold jacket seemed tacky. But then you see it on the model and she looks darling. It is all about how you mix and match, however the jumpsuit in the middle, not such a fan. Those sweet silver sandals are a perfect pair to have in the closet for spring/summer.

My favorite things that sparkle would have to be those AMAZING gray shorts. Those are a perfect necessity to replace those jeans you wore all winter. Pair those with a cotton v-neck for lunch with your girlfriends, then switch it up with a while silk blouse for a night out.

And don’t forget to give your hair some extra shine with Brazilian Gloss Daily Glossing Serum to help complete your fabulous look!

1. DRINK MORE WATER! Most of us do not drink enough water and therefore our skin gets dry. Hydrate, your body will thank you.
2. Exfoliate. This helps rid your skin of dead cells, leaving your skin softer and smoother. It also helps to prevent ingrown hairs. (Ouch!) It also helps to unclog your pores which will create a smoother tan while you bronze on the beach this summer.
3. Moisturize. A good moisturizer applied both at night before bed, and in the morning under your makeup will help to keep your pores from clogging with your makeup and dirt from the air. You do not have to change your moisturizer during the fall/winter and summer/spring. Just use less in the warmer months!
4. Sunscreen. We know it is important to put it on when we are headed for a day at the beach, but what about the day you spend walking around shopping? The sun is still shining and you are not protected! Put sunscreen on 30 minutes before you are going to be in the sun, so after you get out the shower apply sunscreen to the exposed skin and keep it beautiful. Use an oil-free, waterproof sunscreen so that you won’t sweat it off during the day and you can apply it on your face too!
5. Wear a hat. While it won’t protect your face as much as the sunscreen will, it will definitely protect your hair. Keep those gorgeous locks from drying out by covering them up in the sun. Also, bring a leave in conditioner so when you come out of the water you can apply it to keep your hair moisturized, especially blondes.  Green is a great fashion color, but not on your hair!

One of the hottest new trends is feather extensions! They are an easy way to add a little bohemian funk to your everyday look. You can add a pop of color for a day of shopping or a fun night out and they can last for up to 4 months!

You can treat them like real hair; everything from washing, drying, curling and styling! They are popping up all over Hollywood . You can choose natural colors like Hilary Duff’s for a subtle difference and a little flair for a fancy affair, or like Jennifer Love Hewitt with the bright colors contrasting against her  golden brown hair.

They are an affordable way to change up your look without having to cut off any length or chemical treatments when you are in need of something new.

Hollywood is going platinum! Recently we have been seeing a hair trend among the stars that consists of losing a lot of inches and a lot of bleach! There are many variations being seen in Tinseltown in the last few years, everyone from Hayden Panettiere, Michelle Williams, and Renee Zellweger to Ashlee Simpson has tried their own versions of this style.

Katharine McPhee, formerly of American Idol, chopped off her gorgeous brunette locks for bleach and a shag last year. This style looks amazing on her because it is very fun and flirty, and the blonde has a cool undertone which works well with her skin tone. This is a great look for summer if you want an effortlessly chic ‘do. 

We all fell in love with Kate Winslet back in ’97 when she played Rose Dawson in Titanic with that long red hair but she has come a long way since then. While she has been a blonde for a while, this brighter platinum is funkier for this newly-single lady. She debuted this look on the April 2011 cover of British Vogue and delivered a knockout with this style!











 Here are more celebrities who have dared this look, which is your favorite??

 Spring is here, and so are the newest trends. As designers showcase their collections, hair trends are on high alert. Lacoste’s sporty yet chic collection had a repeated hair trend of low ponytails and beautiful braids along the hairline. It’s the perfect modern look that can complete any spring outfit. Of course we can’t forget Gucci and their bright new bold colors complimenting the different hues of neutrals in their collection, topping it off with a sleek, extreme side- part low bun. Sophisticated, and stunning.

These simple styles can be easily done, whether you want to dress up for a night out or going out for errands all day, both will be suitable.

We all remember watching Lauren “LC” Conrad live a life full of drama when she stared in her reality show Laguna Beach in 2004 and then made her move to Hollywood on The Hills. I think it is safe to say she has made such an amazing transition from a bleach-blonde Laguna girl to a chic fashion designer. And her hair has seen the most change! Lauren consistently alters her hair one way or another every few months and every little tweak she makes, she looks more amazing. Personally I am a big fan of her spiral waves and dark hair. It really brings out her features. With her new contemporary line, Paper Crown, launching in stores soon and her best-selling books on book stands now, this girl is unstoppable. Can’t wait to see what she does next and how her hair transforms again!

Finally the beautiful Isla Fisher comes out from hiding! After taking time off from the spotlight, Fisher stepped out Monday night for the premiere of her new film Rango, starring Johnny Depp. Fisher didn’t disappoint, looking beautiful and fresh in a strapless dress from the Temperley London Spring/Summer Collection 2011. Aside from her dress, her hair looked flawless. She styled her striking red hair with soft, delicate curls. What do you think of Isla’s look?

Hayden Panettiere is not afraid to take risks and that’s why she wins the Brazilian Gloss Look of the Week.  In 2010, Hayden took the plunge and chopped off her long blonde locks to create this overgrown pixie cut and we love it!  The new look is mature and shows off her flawless skin. With this particular hairstyle, she manages to create slick sides while maintaining an overall soft look.  This is a great example to show how to achieve amazing volume without being overdone.

 To keep your hair frizz-free and in-check, try our Brazilian Gloss Daily Glossing Serum!
