LIVEN UP YOUR LOCKS WITH THESE NINE LOOKS


You know you want to! Stop committing to the same look day after day. Looking red carpet ready may not be as hard as you think- check out these 9 ways to liven up your daily hair routine… look and feel like a star!

Holy High Bun
Think Mad Men’s January Jones not Center Stage sweetheart! Be bold and try the holy high bun.
Get January’s look - Plant a ponytail at the crown of your head, then braid or twist your lovely locks.  Wrap the braid around the base of the pony and secure with bobby pins. 

Bid Farewell to the Flat Iron
We know it’s still winter but you can still get the sexy summer beach wave!
Get Kate Hudson’s look – Rub a little anti-frizz serum on damp hair and blow-dry with a diffuser, scrunching sections as you go to bring out a natural beach wave.

Say Hello to Smoothing Cream
Got the Carey (Mulligan) cut? We’ve got you covered!
Get Carey’s look – Apply a dime-size portion of Bed Head’s After Party Smoothing Cream to wet hair then blow-dry. To finish of the look take a paddle brush to smooth and sweep hair to the side for a sexy yet simple do.
 

Show Love to the Layers
Nothing is better than a beautiful blowout! Whether your layers are long or short it’s time you show them off!
Get Carrie Underwood’s look – Apply a few drops of L'Oreal’s Serie Expert Liss Ultime Shine Perfecting Serum to wet hair, then section hair and blow-dry with a round brush. Part hair to the side and tuck those long layers behind your ear.
 

Let It Loose   
Let those fly aways and short layers hang loose and learn to love the low-key look.
Get Taylor Swift’s look – Leave a few face-framing pieces in the front and pin the rest of it back. It’s that easy!

Bump It Up
Channel Snookie from Jersey Shore (we’re only kidding) and bump it up baby!  
Get Gwen Stefani’s look – Make a side or center part, tease your crown and spritz it with hairspray. Then pull back both sides back around the teased section and pin into place.

Get the Skinny
This spring think thin – hot new headware.
Get Scarlett Johansson’s look: Tease the front of your hair first for volume to give the headband something to grab onto. The girly girl look is back!
 

Change It Up
Feel like a new woman with just one box of color.
Get Nicole Richies’s look: Pick up a box of color from your local Planet Beauty. Follow a few easy steps on the box and voila – a fabulous new you! Not bold enough to tackle coloring your hair… make an appointment with your most trusted hairstylist aka your therapist!

SwimSpot’s favorite look – the holy high bun! Dressed up or dressed down it’s a chic and sexy look…perfect for poolside.

  • Athena’s 2012 Collection Suits Your StyleAs we fly into 2012, Athena has an amazing new collection. It includes updates from the 2011 Maldives Collection. With Slim-Power lining and shirring details, Athena’s new collection gives you the right amount of tummy control and will help cover up all those imperfections for those days at the beach.

  • Look Good, Feel GoodFall is finally here! Time to dig up those scarves, boots, and cardigans buried deep inside your closet. In terms of fashion, this is definitely my favorite time of year – I especially love the bold pops of color that are trending this season. And of course, the layers! But unfortunately, being bundled up in sweaters and coats doesn’t quite give me the motivation to work out. I won’t be sporting a bikini any time soon anyways so what’s the point, right? Wrong! We’re all aiming for that perfect beach body once Spring rolls along, so why not start working for it now? Getting toned and fit is a gradual process—although I’m sure we all wish it would happen overnight. Swimsuit season will be coming around the corner before you know it, so save yourself from the intense dieting and exercise the week before spring break and start now!
  • Feelin' Nautical?Feelin' nautical? Hit the deck with Nautica's Classic Solids Underwire One Piece Bathing Suit! This slimming one piece suit sports an underwire feature to provide optimal support, comfort, and fit. The white straps create a great contrast against the navy and the sweetheart neckline sets an irresistible modern twist on this maillot. To cover up, try Nautica's Under the Sea Tunic. The white and navy stripe print of the tunic perfectly compliments the solid suit, creating a chic sailor look.
