Kate Middleton Gives Us A Masterclass In Dressing Up A Classic Ponytail


Kate Middleton's famed for her luscious locks, but we're used to 'The Kate' being a tousled, glossy blow-dry. So you can imagine our surprise (and also, total approval) when we clocked her with this bumped-up ponytail at a charity event this week. That's right: The Duchess of Cambridge wears her hair up, too.

Despite opting to wear her hair down on her wedding day in 2012, Kate's choice of an updo this week is breath of fresh air from the long bob fever that's currently seized the beauty world. Kate's ponytail is ever so slightly lower than most, to allow for hair on top of the pony to be oomphed up, to give it more of a 'done' feel. It's like a tiny mini beehive going into the ponytail - very chic, and very understated.

Kate's hair is also ever so slightly falling around her face - we like that she kept it loose, rather than pulling everything back tight. It's more fun, but the height adds sophistication. The whole thing looks superbly unfussy, but still really polished.You can be a copy Kate (sorry) by teasing or backcombing every so slightly the top layers of your hair at the crown, then loosely pulling up the bottom layers and fastening into a pony. There are plenty of ways to wear a ponytail to make it more interesting - you can add height like Kate, wear it loose and low for a casual look or pull it tight and sleek for a more high fashion feel. Personally, we think Kate's pony is totally party ready. Pass the kirby grips, will you?

"Phat Pimp Child Costume" Sure, this costume grabs attention off the bat, with its comic fat suit and exaggerated colors. But people know what a pimp does for a living, right? Just so we’re clear. 2. Baby cigarette Unless you’re also DIYing a red circle with a line through it to go with this costume, it’s kiiiiiinda sending the wrong message to impressionable kids. 3. “Major Flirt” Boots on the ground? Yes, as soon as we make our tween girl take off this costume in favor of something more age-appropriate. 4.

Flip Manis: The Nail Art Trend That's Set To Sky-Rocket

Image
Nail art isn't exactly a new concept but we have to admit that we didn't see this talon-trend coming. Not by a long shot... Not content with merely adoring the top of their nails, the world's hottest manicurists have started bejeweling, painting and doodling on the under-side of their nails too, coining it as a 'flip mani', and we reckon it's about to go stellar. It all kick-started when songstress Ciara showed off her flip mani on Instagram and since then it's been big news on the nail art circuit, taking the LA manicure-set by storm. Yes, it might sound bizarre but as these shots prove, when they're done right, they can have seriously cool results. If you're a lover of kooky nails and bright polishes, then you'll be well versed in the fact that they're not exactly work-appropriate. However, because no-one can directly see your flip mani unless you really want them to, it'll give you the perfect arty fix minus any funny lo
