Last summer saw Cult Gaia’s bamboo Ark half moon shaped bag take over Instagram. Shown on the arm of every fashionista and style influencer out there while on the beaches of white sand or in the cobbled streets of a summer in Europe. This year, the ‘It’ bag of the Insta-season is the Box Scott by Louis Vuitton.
The clear plexiglass ‘bag’ is actually designed as an ornamental box, complete with leather strap encompassing the box, gold hardware finishes and a vintage trunk style clasp. To turn this elegant box into a bag, fashion lovers out there have cleverly used a silk Louis Vuitton scarf creatively tied and twisted into the perfect handle. And voila – summer’s new must have accessory.
There are 2 variations currently available on their website. A classic white LV monogrammed version sitting pretty at $1,040. While a more colorful version sees shades of purple, pink, red and orange of the recognisable LV design a little pricer at $1,160.
Every woman dreams of having beautiful hair. We are trying to find something new, looking through the glossy magazines, surfing the Net and so on. We do all of that to look better and stay tuned on the new tendencies. How much do you know of the modern hairstyling trends and ways to do your hair? Is it relevant to use a curling iron or not? Read our article if you got interested!
What’s new about the trends in 2019?
Some of the tendencies we are going to list became extremely popular this year. Get ready to know some new info and get inspired by them.
1. Bunt bobs. Such hairstyle is about to suit every facial type, which is considered as the biggest advantage. If you have any doubts on this kind, you may ask your hairdresser on the details.
2. Grey hair as the new popular color. Does it mean being proud of the natural processes going on with your hair? It surely does, but also we are dealing with coloring hair grey when being young. Just look through the pics on the Internet, and you will see how interesting the woman’s appearance can seem.
3. Coloring hair at home. It doesn’t mean that women cease to visit hair salons. It means that it’s okay to retouch your hair roots at home four weeks after it was colored.
4. Big volume on your hair. It’s the dream of many women and we are trying to achieve it so much. Have you noticed there are plenty of volumizing shampoos in the stores? The reason is simple: we want to have more and more volume. The curling iron is also a good solution to achieve the volume, but you should also combine it with the hairspray.
5. Lilac color. That’s thought to be a trendy hair color this year. If you are afraid of doing something wrong, just talk to the professional hairdresser and he will help you with your transformations.
6. Super-straight hairstyle. Straightening hair started to be popular quite a few years ago. But this year it’s going to hit all the records, so get your iron ready!
Some advice on styling your hair
You certainly know some ways to do your hair. However, we are ready to offer you some more ways to make your hair look even better.
1. Before straightening your hair don’t forget to carefully brush it. It will help you to save the effect. Moreover, the thinner the strands are, the more time the straight hair will last.
2. To add more volume to your hair, use a special shampoo for this. Shaping your hair with your fingers is a normal thing to do. However, don’t forget about the brush! Moreover, always use a hair protectant before applying heated hairstyling stuff.
3. What about the curls? If you want to have long-lasting ones, use a lot of hair mousse and work it throughout all the hair. Random hair rolling onto the curlers will allow creating casually-looking curls.
What else should you know?
There’s one thing you should also be aware of: to create a beautiful hairstyle you should love your appearance, with all of its peculiarities. The understanding of the fact that your looks are the best should come to you as soon as possible.
To become even more beautiful and pretty, there’s one simple thing to do every day: to smile. It’s very easy, costs nothing, and will make your mood better.
Improving your general health will also affect hair positively. It has been proven by scientists and many people’s experience.
We hope that this article gave you useful advice and you are ready to use it. It will help you change your hairstyle for the better and get inspired by the new image. This, in its turn, will lead to loving yourself and your personality more. To sum up, there are many reasons to start changes!
An entire collection of beauty professionals are building their businesses around simplifying and automating daily tasks using salon-dedicated appointment scheduling apps.

Expert’s verdict
At a fraction of the price, Salon Life offers almost triple the efficient salon management tools offered by Styleseat. The fact that the latter doesn’t allow users to use the platform for free before subscribing to any of the plans is also very disconcerting.
Marketing your beauty salon yourself can be difficult. For this reason, teaming up with a digital marketing agency to help with pay per click management is the quickest way to grow your beauty salon.
In summary, Salon life is a way superior and easy-to-use salon booking software that offers business owners free salon management tools and real value for their money after subscribing to any of the plans. Still, in case none of these two looks interesting to you, you can test another booking software and see if that one does wonders for you.
Whether you’re heading out on summer vacation, planning a winter sun trip, or just debating whether to hit the local pool, being armed with the right swimsuit is vital!
Get Your Summer Body Ready
This doesn’t mean losing weight, strict diets, and hitting the gym every day – it simply means get your body however you want it to be. Comfort is essential before you choose any swimsuit, and you need your body to be at its perfect place so that you can best select the swimwear perfect for you. There’s no point falling in love with a swimsuit and saying ‘I need to lose weight to fit into this.’ Instead, you need to work with what you have and flaunt it!
This includes preparing your skin to be seen, too. Eating healthily and getting the right vitamins can help to get your skin and body prepped with a natural glow and healthy look. Altrient, Leading Liposomal Supplement Brand, can provide all your vitamin supplement needs in time for showing off that swimsuit body.
2. Understand Your Body Shape
Choosing the right swimwear means understanding what your body looks best in, and that means identifying its shape. Certain designs of swimwear can look more flattering on particular body shapes, so you’ll want to identify yours. Measure your body in all the relevant places – waist, hips and bust – so you can compare your measurements with the associated shape. The most common shapes are hourglass (even bust and hip ratio which pulls in at the waist), pear (larger hip size than bust size) and straight (an alignment of the bust and hip which appears more straight than curved). Once you know, you’re good to go.
3. Shop for the Right Swimsuit
Now that you understand your body shape, you can shop only for swimsuits which match the criteria. Online stores may make it easier with filters designed around specific body shapes so that you can save time and distraction by ruling out the swimwear which doesn’t apply to you, or if you’re in-store, you can ask a sales representative to point out the swimsuits best suited for the body shape you have.
4. Pay Attention to Fabric Cut, Color and Design
Knowing your body shape is only half the battle. You’ll then want to ensure that the swimsuit you choose serves to accentuate your favorite bits and camouflage your less-than-favorite bits. If you have a large bust which you like to accentuate, a low-cut swimsuit may be more desirable; or likewise, if you’d rather steer attention away from a large bust, you could opt for a full covered one piece with a high neck or a halter neck bikini. If you feel more comfortable having your stomach covered, then a one-piece is a better way to go than a two-piece.
Plain colors such as black are very slimming, whereas bold and bright prints and designs can draw attention to certain places – so make sure those places are the right ones!
Animal print trend has been undeniably huge in recent seasons. With boot season looming again round the corner, it is only fitting that we are seeing this trend transfer onto the Fall favorite must-have wardrobe item.
Brazilian designer Alexandre Birman does this beautifully with this $995 ‘Dora’ two tone zebra boot. By adding textures with the use of dyed calf hair, this pointed toe design even subtly sneaks in the clear panel trend running up vertical up the calf and across the ankle.

Are Jeannie Mai and Young Jeezy an item? It certainly seems so. The two struck a striking post at Jeezy’s Sno Ball in Atlanta, with Jeannie in a $3,850 Michael Costello Dress:
The dress features one shoulder and a backless design:
