Levi Explore: Levi's Curve ID

Levi® Curve ID jeans were introduced in early August 2010 to provide women with curves a jean that not only accentuates their assets, but fits properly as well.  Levi's® brand designers studied body scans of more than 60,000 women to develop custom fits based on the difference between the measurement of a woman's hip and seat - the greater the difference, the more curvy the body.  The fittings range from slight curve to supreme curve.

Beyonce: Why Don't You Love Me

Hands down Beyonce is one of the fiercest women in the game. As Jay-Z says, "Got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain."  It's no surprise that she makes an appearance on the Billboard Top 100 consecutively single-after-single.  I particularly love this joint because of the creativity, risk, and style that this video encompasses.  You gotta love the red pumps, red lipstick, and nostalgic 60s-inspired attire.  I admire her confidence, sassyness (yes, sassyness), and overall attitude about life.  Check it.

Fashion Forward Friday

According to the latest articles in prominent Fashion magazines such as, Vogue, Glamour and Cosmo, the five hairstyles to rock this Spring are the low bun, Jane Birkin Bang, punky short cut, side part, and the swoop.  If you’re like me, you like to start trends and create your own style, not imitate them. However, these hairstyles will be rocked this spring, so be on the look-out, ladies.

The Low Bun: Guido Palau, who created the look for Nina Ricci’s spring show, recommends starting with a center part. Next, pull hair into a low ponytail, making sure to cover the ears. Then twist the ponytail into a loose knot. Remember, a too-tight style will look overly austere, so keep it loose for a touch of bohemian flair.

The Jane Birkin Bang:  “Bangs should be heavy, slightly longer on the sides, and kept below the eyebrows. Layers are long and flowing, with a slight angle below the chin. Blow-dry your bangs with a brush, then spray hairspray on a comb and comb through to make them look solid and thick.” – Kattia Solano of Butterfly Studio Salon.

The Punky Short Cut: If you’re ready for change,  go with this one, a short hair cut is always a sure fire way to say, “Here I am and I have confidence” as it exposes more of your beautiful face.  “The most versatile way to get this look is an undercut with length on top,” “To style, use a texturizing spray when wet, followed by a wax-based styling product once hair is dry.” – Pasquale Ferrante, co-founder of ION Studio

The New Side Part:   “Place a comb flat against the side of your head. The spot where your head leaves the comb is where the part should be placed. Pull hair into a sleek, low ponytail or secure curls with a few bobby-pins.” – Sam Brocato, owner of Sam Brocato Salon

The Swoop:   Loosely pin your bangs to the side, either with bobby-pins or a barrette. Use a dry shampoo to add texture or gel for hold and shine.
