Have you looked around lately at how men are styling their hair? I have been keeping an eye out when ever I am out in public or watching the latest reality TV show for how the men are styling there hair. I notice that either the men have a clean-cut look, or somewhat of a rocker look. Both looks can be pulled off, but one look has been around a lot longer then the other. What is this new rocker look? If you ask me I really like it. I love when a guy is willing to step out of the box and have his own look. The clean-cut days are slowly disappearing while this new punk look is starting to be latest way to style your hair.

My fiancé has the clean-cut look and it does look good on him. I do think that after a while he should change it up a bit. Maybe grow it out a little and change up the way he styles it. Currently he has it short and spiky, which is a little longer then, a real short haircut. However I think it would be fun to see how he would look with longer hair.

So I did not have a chance to check out the Golden Globe awards but I was able to read about what some of the celebrities wore and I was able to see pictures. You have to wonder what these actresses and actors are thinking when they are getting ready for such an event. For some of them they have done this time and time again so it is nothing new to them and for others it is there first time to prove them selves in public eye. Do some of the old timers just get board of looking normal, or is it that they want to make a statement?

For example Renee Zellweger…She is said to be the number one worst dressed at this event. She has been attending these events for years and she usually always looks stunning. Did she want to spice it up this year? Was she trying to get the award for worst dressed? By the dress she wore it is only natural to wonder! Another example is Glenn Close now she has been around the block a time or two but does that give her the right to dress like a ringleader of a circus? I love both these actresses but sometimes you really just have to wonder…

This is such a great topic because we all know there are always the popular dos and don’ts of fashion. I caught an episode of the E channel and they had some pretty good advice. Lets start with a couple no brainer don’ts.

1. Don’t make the mistake of wearing too much bling. A little bling can go a long way and too much bling goes the wrong way fast!

2. Don’t wear too much make up. Have you ever noticed too much make up can make a beautiful person look fake and not as attractive? You never want to sell out your natural beauty.

3. Don’t let your thong show over the top of your pants. Now this is very important because some girls still try to pull this off and it is a big no no! Even men do not find this look the least bit attractive, instead it just looks trashy.

4. Don’t wear clothing that is not your true size. Now this can go either way, if clothing is too small it can make people appear larger then they really are and if the clothing is too big it can look frumpy and unflattering.

Now lets get into some fashion Do’s:

1. Do wear clothing that is the correct size for your body. This way ever outfit you wear is as flattering as it can be.

2. Do experiment with color. A little color can spice up any outfit.

3. Do wear the right amount of jewelry. Just remember a little touch of sparkle can go a long way.

4. Do change up your hairstyle at least once a year. Have you ever looked at a picture taken more then a year ago and thought to your self I still have that same due…

Well I hope this helps next time you go shopping or to your closet.

So what is in style for 2009? Well it is only the second day of 2009 so I can only guess. From looking at all the latest celebrity hairstyles I have noticed a couple trends. One of the trends I have noticed is the side swept bang. Now this is taking regular bangs to a whole new level. Don’t get me wrong ladies you still have bangs, but instead of them lying straight down they are off to the side. When going for this look there are a few things to be aware of:

1. Do not wear the bangs too long, as they will cover up one or both eyes!

2. Do not wear the bangs to short or they will not as stylish as they do with a little longer edge to them.

3. You do have to take the time to style them correctly or they will become a regular bang.

Another style that I am noticing is long barrel curls. Now how do you pull off the long barrel curls look? Well you either have to have a great curling iron, or a good set of hot rollers. I am in the middle of solving this mystery so when I find the answer I will be sure to let you all know.

Good luck for 2009, until next time…
