Celebrity Fashion Trends: June 2010

PIXIE

Is short hair fit for everyone? It's a risk that alot of people are not willing to take and I can understand why :) but it's one that I took. I was the girl who always wore a ponytail, so I thought why not snip it off. This bright idea didnt come about until I was 21 years old I believe. I remember seeing a photograph of a short blonde haircut that victoria beckham was sporting and I fell in love. I immediately went salon hopping :), few months later I got the haircut and dot get me wrong I loved it BUT...the minute I was face to face with

my new look in the mirror I wanted to go shorter into a pixie cut and believe it or not in a few blinks of an eye thats exactly what I did. I havent looked back since and its been about 3 years now. I just seem to be getting shorter and shorter. Now when my hair is only 4 or 5 inches long I think its too long, time for a haircut. Who knows maybe in a couple more years I will want to grow it back but right now I highly doubt it, im already thinking about how I will look with short gray hair:)

Below is Victoria Beckham's cut that started it all for me:

What is a Maillot - Defining Vintage Fashion Terms

A Maillot is a one piece bathing suit and was first used in the 1920s to describe tight fitting swimwear. Remember, bathing suits in the earlier part of the 20th century looked more like sundresses with full skirts and sleeveless styles.

Usually when I see the word "Maillot" to describe a bathing suit I imagine a strapless or heart shaped bust bathing suit or one with vintage inspired details such as ruching at the waist. To me, a Maillot is synonymous with the bathing suit styles of the 1950s.

Now a days we just call it a one piece. But if you want to be a bit more fancy, you can say you're planning on sun bathing in your gorgeous maillot bathing suit instead of sunbathing in your one piece. *hehe*
