Hair follows fashion trends!
Having been at the L'Oreal awards last night what fascinating from an accessories point of view. Although no accessories were used, it was great to see how they use fashion to style the hair to suit.
So for many of my brides who come to me totally confused, will now have a better insight in what to look for. Picking your dress first is a MUST, then consider how your hair will fit in with your dress and accessories.
I was delighted to see the David Kamo fashion show at the awards - wow what stunning stuff. You will see the likes of this on Cheryl Cole and Lady Gaga. These dresses will set you back at least £1000 or more - but they are show stoppers.

The dresses have an architectural feel to them which is accented with scrapped back sleek hair.
L'Oreal Colour Trophy Awards - update
Some of you may know that first and foremost I am a product designer to trade having studied at Napier University Edinburgh. But as a turn of events I went down the teaching route - but it always inspires me to keep up to date with what is going on in all aspects of trends.
So last night was a rare treat to be a the L'Oreal Colour Trophy Awards supporting one of my models who has done some work for me on the website.
What an experience - each hairdresser and model were sat at a booth and had 30 mins to style the hair, 10 mins before the end the make- up artist was allowed into the booth to do the last touch ups. Then the models took to the runway, while being judged by some famous hair industry experts ( and not a woman on the judging panel!)
The self picked outfits were varied and very fashion forward.
The brief was to create colour and texture to die for and a cut that would have people flocking to the salons asking for it. It was all to be influenced by fashion and that of the autumn /winter 2010/11.
Some of the models were fantastic and the mens category saw some very handsome candidates.
The winners hair were all sharp and blunt cuts, with colour from reds to brunette and a white blonde.
Well Done... more on this later.

Vintage Everyday Fashion
Had the a lovely day today in Glasgow's West End. Wanted to have a look at vintage stuff for the home and found loads of vintage shops on the way.
I must admit I LOVE working with the vintage designs for the wedding scene and would love to be able to find the right occasions to wear one for my own headband creations. However the everyday vintage style I don't think is me - not just yet.
Today was reminiscent of my youth when the store Flip of Hollywood opened in Queen St. A store selling second hand American apparel. Boy how things have changed since then. Second hand clothes were only bought through Charity shops and places like the Barras and Paddy's Market. But now we have eBay and utterly stunning vintage shops springing up all over the place.
A few of the store visited today were
We Love to Boogie - fab layout and has a cafe inside too. Although I never sampled the cakes they looked good. www.welovetoboogiesvintage.com
Vintage Guru www.vintageguru.co.uk
The Made in the Shade Maisonette - lovely vintage inspired home luxuries. Loved the moose head plaque - stunning. www.wearemadeinshade.com @madeintheshade1
Rachel Albert - handmade ladies and kids clothing. Utterly scrumptious designs made to measure and vintage inspired. www.rachaelalbert.me.uk @RachaelAlbert
Just for you also in Decourcey's Arcade get a worthy mention. What a fab idea to sell your designer items through the store. Definitely worth a look.
Pink Poodle - Vintage inspired fashion - fell in love with a very plain dress but definitely lovely. By the time I had got home I had imagined what I would wear with it - must go back and actually try it on. www.lovelaboutique.com
So if you are going to a wedding this year are want to be a stylish guest check out these fab shops. Remeber to check our fascinators and vintage inspired headbands and jewellery to finish your outfit off. www.weddingandbaby.co.uk

Just a little note to say thanks for your excellent organisation. Your wedding advice clinic was a great idea. I just wish I had gone in to see the dress one.The tea/coffee being provided was great. It's hard to get away from the stand so we always bring coke and sandwiches for a five minute lunch but the tea was far more enjoyable and the coffee heated John up as he was outside most of the day.It was good of you to fund raise for the prostate cancer charity. I don't think you could have done anything to improve your organisation - so well done on that. Keep us posted about anything else you might do. Patricia and John Taggart www.goldchoiceweddingcars.co.uk
