Tip: How to wear jeans with booties this winter. If you are wearing slim bottoms, skinny and leggings jeans then it’s better to team them with ankle boots. Just slip tight-fitting bottoms into the top of ankle boots. Booties with skinny jeans look chic. You can also fold or roll your jeans to skim the top of your ankle boot/bootie or fold them higher with a sneak peek of your bare calf showing or your socks peeking out on top of your bootie

How to wear tights/leggings with booties this winter? Wear them with a sweater dress, a long shirt or a mini skirt.

Winter season offers lots of opportunities to experiment with your outfits; there are many fashion trends to explore and adapt to your own taste and style.

Put yourself on your “To Do List”

Looking for a way to offset all the damage you’re likely to do on Thanksgiving?   Elizabeth Morrell gives us more great tips on keeping fit, even during the holidays:

photo 1

Ah, the famous “To Do List”.  I’m sure you have one.  I do. The holidays are upon us and it’s the time of year when we are rushing to do this, rushing to do that, and we have so much to do, our list is full.  Between the shopping, working, planning and entertaining, we forget to take care of ourselves.  Everyone else’s needs seem to come before ours. It is time to stop and put YOU on your “To Do List”!   Continue your shopping, get your work done, plan your holiday activities and entertain like no other but give yourself 30 minutes to an hour each day to get your heart pumping and reset your mind.

By getting your heart pumping (aka cardio) you will burn calories as well as decrease stress, increase your energy level, and release endorphins so you can do all the extra things this holiday season with a smile.

Here are a few quick ways you can get your heart pumping (cardio) at least 30 to 60 minutes a day (at least 3 times a week).

1.  Jump rope – 10 minutes of jumping rope equals 30 minutes of jogging (you know I do not jog!).

2. Hula hoop – You can Hula hoop for at least 30 minutes. If you can’t do it for that long, start out with 10 minute intervals and gradually increase to 30 minutes and then eventually to 60 minutes.

photo 2

3. Boxing – If you have a punching bag, put on your gloves and beat it!  If you don’t, no worries, you can just shadow box. Get in front of the mirror and cross, jab, and hook yourself into a frenzy.  Go at it like you are in the boxing ring 3 minutes and break and go at it again.

Take time for yourself with a quick workout so that you can not only relieve stress, but give yourself more energy and turn your” To Do List” in to a done list!

American Music Awards hair how-tos

Each fall, the American Music Awards celebrates the latest and greatest talents of the contemporary music scene. And with award shows, comes great fashion & beauty – Jenny Balding, Cutler/Redken Stylist, shares two of her favorite looks from tonight’s 42nd Annual AMAs – Rita Ora & Julianne Hough:

Rita Ora

Rita Ora

Rita Ora

“Rita Ora has a slightly different take on a simple topknot. It’s all in the detail, which really gave this style an original edge – her undercut was a great point of difference from the back.” – Jenny Balding

To recreate this ultimate sleek topknot:

•Start by blow drying your hairline up and back to really help getting it smooth and sleek
•Use a sleek balm through the roots to tame and smooth the flyway’s. Cutler flyaway stick is the perfect product for this as the more you use the more it will hold and create sheen.
•Sweep into a really high ponytail that sits right on top of the crown.
•Use a straightening iron on the ponytail to create a super sleek finish.
•Mist each section first with a strong hold hairspray that won’t flake and delivers shine also. Redken Control Addict 28 is perfect for this
•Wrap around the base of the ponytail, section by section until the last section of hair leave about 2″ of hair out to create Rita’s topknot.
•Finish by misting Redken Diamond Oil High Shine Airy mist to achieve exceptional shine.

Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough

To recreate this slick back bob:

•Start by blow-drying all your hair back and off your face.
•Create a deep side part of whatever side that suits you best.
•Starting at the back use a gel that has hold and creates shine for best results.
•Take small sections at a time and apply the gel and comb through each section. Continue until you reach the front hairline a sweep back off your face also.
•It’s important to start at the back to make sure every strand is coated with gel to create the ultimate sleek style.
