Take a look at the following ideas of medium pixie haircuts, and choose the one that suits you best!
Kate Middleton has been admitted to hospital this morning! It's only a matter of hours until the planet's most awaited baby will finally arrive. Though many of rumors and speculations regarding the royal baby have been made almost on a daily basis, this time, the news was officially confirmed by the spokesperson for Kensington Palace.
The royal sources state that the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William arrived at the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital at 5.30 am today: "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge has been admitted this morning to St. Mary's Hospital, London in the early stages of labour. The Duchess traveled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge." The royal couple was escorted by police.
Kate Middleton will be giving birth to the prince or princess of Cambridge at the same hospital where Princess Diana gave birth to William and his brother Harry. The Duchess is well taken care of by a team led by experienced gynecologist Marcus Setchell, 69. A spokesperson announced recently that “Things are progressing as normal.” It is still unclear whether the Royal Baby will be delivered naturally or through a planned C-section. The gender of the baby, which is currently a mystery for both royal baby watchers and the royal couple, will be announced in two ways.
First up, a royal aide will come from the hospital with a signed bulletin carrying the Buckingham Palace letterhead. Then, the bulletin will be given to an official who will be driven to Buckingham Palace, where it will be posted on an easel in front of the building for everyone to see. Sounds complicated? The good thing is that the royals will also deliver the news via Twitter right after and the media will be officially notified.
The new For Love and Lemons fall 2013 collection is titled “Interview with a Vampire” and definitely stays true to the theme. The label enlisted its muse, Russian supermodel Anna Selezneva for its new season lookbook shot by photographer Zoey Grossman. The new line might center around the 'vampire' theme yet not all the new looks are focused on the easily distinguishable and fairly stereotypical Goth theme: a small part of the new line focused on feminine pieces with plenty of boho chic accents.
If you're a fan of cute and flirty dresses, the first part of the For Love and Lemons fall 2013 collection is definitely the one you should focus your attention on. The dresses from this particular section have a summery vibe attached, which makes them all the more lovable. Feminine and sexy yet not overly skimpy, these dresses are perfect for the transitional days to come. With both short and long dresses, the new options can work well for the upcoming season.
Still, if you're on the quest for trendy dramatic options for the new season, the second part of the line might be a better fit. Not only does this part of the collection feature more dramatic options with an easily distinguishable Gothic vibe, but most of the pieces are also made from warmer feel fabrics such as velvet, to ensure you'll be able to sport some of the new pieces 'till late fall. Once again, a sultry look is the main concern of the label. High slits, generous necklines and plenty of strategic sheer touches make their way into the new season offerings from For Love and Lemons.
Although the new designs attract attention instantly, the new For Love and Lemons fall 2013 lookbook doesn't bring too many accessories into the spotlight. Still, that doesn't mean that the alternatives featured are any less important. Sexy black high heel boots, cool long necklaces with cross pendants or simple metal rings can have a significant impact in creating an edgy allure as the new looks easily prove. Of course, a cool Gothic makeup is one of the most important aspects you should focus on if you're aiming for a similar cool look.

The Rupert Sanderson fall/winter 2013 campaign puts the spotlight exactly on essentials: sexy shoes that are bound to become instant celebrity favorites. Unlike other luxury footwear labels which focus on fads, the label opts for fabulous modern shoes with a classy allure that make a powerful statement every time. Shot by photographer Eddie Wrey on location at the Japanese restaurant Sake No Hana in Mayfair, London, the new Rupert Sanderson campaign brings six of the coolest new footwear alternatives created by the British luxury label.
For its newest collection, the label took inspiration from Eastern culture. Speaking about the new fall 2013 campaign, the designer stated that: “This season’s campaign really gives a razor sharpness and to a collection inspired by a modern and dark Japan. I was thinking Kill Bill and elaborate Japanese bondage techniques.” With such a complex source of inspiration, it comes as no surprise that the new styles feel so eclectic and intriguing.
The designer doesn't strive for conformity so the campaign styled by Tamara Rothstein doesn't feature many practical subdued options with a functional role. Instead, the new choices seem destined for the red carpet, due to their statement making potential.
The Laura Mercier Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Color range brings 15 amazing tones with a new and improved formula.

Doesn't it make the process a little easier? Choose between these cool Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour ($24 tones for the new season:

Choppy bangs can be the stunning detail for many hairstyles, but getting them right for your features is very important for a balanced look. Find out more about the best choppy bangs and how to cut and style them.
Short Choppy Bangs
Going for short choppy bangs is usually a good idea when you're keeping your hair either short or medium length. For a longer length, short choppy bangs can help you get the 1950s pin up girl look, but they'll also create a less versatile look.
Avoid very short choppy bangs if your face is round, as these will simply accentuate its shape, even if the rest of your hair is properly layered to elongate the face. Choppy bangs can go well with a bob or a shag hairstyle and they're usually cut horizontally for the right look.
Tweezerman and Isaac Mizrahi teamed up for a five piece limited edition collection. If you're on the lookout for things to prettify your grooming routine, the new line, which will make its debut this August exclusively at Sephora and sephora.com, might just be the best choice.
Conny Wittke, chief executive officer and president of Tweezerman International stated that the fashion designer's whimsical approach to design inspired the partnership: “Isaac is an American design superstar. His designs are fun and whimsical, so they work well on surfaces like ours. More importantly, he really believes in high-performance tools, which is very important to us. He’s a fan of the Tweezerman brand and products.”
Indeed, the designer acknowledged the important role tweezers have in a woman's beauty kit as he told WWD:“Tweezers are really important in the arsenal of beauty products. You notice when a brow is wrong. [Tweezerman] has the best product. That’s why we have this partnership.”
Though the creative director highlights the importance of well groomed brows, he never applied the principle to himself. Why? Isaac Mizrahi was born without brows. He made the surprising revelation for Fashionista.com: I don’t use [the tweezers] for brow purposes. I was born without brows–I have no brows! I use pencils to fill in my brow. Every once in a while I get a stray hair and someone goes, “I’m going to pull this” and I say, “No, no, no!” It’s the one [piece of] evidence I have of a brow.”
Vitamin water is being advertised as a healthy way to stay
hydrated, especially if you have an active lifestyle. The product has
been called "sugar water" by many physicians who disagree
it's any healthier than regular water. So... is vitamin water good or
bad?
The list of complaints about vitamin water is certainly bigger
than its list of benefits and the number of calories in one bottle is
very close to the ones in a can of Coke. The fact that a single water
bottle contains up to 33g of sugar is bad enough, but it's fructose,
not the much more natural pure cane sugar.
Great cardio is one of the best fat burners for women, but when

right foods that help you lose weight. Check out the best fat burning
foods you should start eating right now.
Sunburn is maybe one of the worst

But if the damage is already done and you need a sunburn itch relief
or a sunburn pain relief, try these useful tips and enjoy your normal
skin again!
The first royal baby photos have emerged! With no reason to keep her under observation, Kate Middleton was discharged from the hospital to the excitement of the anxious crowd that was eagerly awaiting to see the newest member of the royal family. The much awaited moment finally arrived as Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge proudly stepped out of St Mary's Hospital.
The new parents were glowing and the immense happiness caused by the arrival of their baby boy could easily be read on their faces. Kate Middleton looked surprisingly well rested given the circumstances and wore an adorable bespoke polka dot dress (similar to the one Princess Diana wore when she was discharged from the same hospital after giving birth) made by Jenny Packham, one of her favorite British designers. William also looked sharp in a blue button down shirt paired with elegant dark pants.
The happy new mother described the experience as very emotional: "It's very emotional. It's a moment that any parent having just given birth will know what this feeling feels like." Prince William also reiterated the statement and gracefully acknowledged the media's effort from the last two days: "It's very special I will remind him of this time when he’s a bit older because I know how long you have all been sat out here, so hopefully the hospital and all you guys can go back to normal now and we can look after him."
The couple also took time to speak about their son: "He's got a good pair of lungs on him, that's for sure. He's a big boy – he's quite heavy", the proud father stated adding that “he’s got his mother’s looks; he was rather tardy and I’ll remind him of that later". He also took time to make a joke about the baby's hair: “He’s got way more than me, thank God.” The couple still hasn't disclosed the name of the new prince and stated that they are “still working” on it.
The latest Lipstick Queen fall 2013 collection is titled “Velvet Rope” and features five amazing lipsticks. The new lipsticks have the most advanced formula yet. Australian entrepreneur and founder of the lipstick brand, Poppy King, took inspiration from the glamorous forties: “Hollywood glamour was at its peak in the Forties,” King told WWD:“It was a time when women were an equal presence on screen, and were there to be seen as well as heard. Each one of the female film stars in the Forties could match any man in terms of power and wit and look damn good doing it.”
The Velvet Rope lipstick line is aimed to be a very high quality one and is the result of an intense desire that goes way back for the founder: “I have been trying to make this [quality] lipstick since I started my first lipstick brand when I was 18. I finally found a chemist who cracked the code on ‘high-drama look, no-drama wear.’ This was the lipstick of my childhood dreams.” What exactly makes the new Lipstick Queen line so special? One of the ingredients, silicone elastomer, which makes the new lipsticks feel silky yet weightless and helping women get an intense color with a single stroke.
Additional ingredients of the new Lipstick Queen Velvet Rope line are vitamin E and apricot oil, which help keep the lips soft and well nourished, three types of waxes — candelilla, carnauba and beeswax. To make the lips plumper, the label also included peppermint oil in the formula. The new lipsticks are intended to be classy yet edgy: “Velvet Rope is about beauty and power and where the two meet on an equal footing”, the founder stated.
The names of the five Velvet Rope lipsticks, Private Party, Brat Pack, Entourage, Black Tie and Star System reflect that allure. The new lipsticks come in gorgeous shades that range from nude to intense red and will be available for purchase starting with September on lipstickqueen.com,Space NK and Barneys New York. The only downside? The quality of the lipsticks commands a fairly steep price. Each of the new lipsticks will retail for $50.
The Chanel handbags from the pre-collection for fall/winter 2013 - 2014 have just been revealed. The prolific label just launched a new website and several new handbag styles that can instantly make a die-hard fashionista fall in love. The fact that the label brings extensive fashion lines each seasons, doesn't interfere with the label's ability to constantly offer new accessory options that always rise up to the highest standards of quality and sophistication. The new Chanel pre-collection for fall 2013 brings interesting spins on some of the brand's most iconic styles.
Though a significant part of the new season collection is dedicated to redesigning the classics, the line also brings more trendy options for fashionistas who view accessories as a way to keep their looks fresh and exciting as opposed to investing in classics. One of the ways in which the label manages to do it is by expanding the palette of fabrics beyond matte leather.
The Twisted Wool and Sheep Shopping Bag is one such example. A new cable knit sweater in your wardrobe might be the furthest thing from original, but a similar pattern on a handbag might be just the right choice for making a cool style statement. Cool textures can change everything, especially when we're talking about luxurious accessories.
If you gravitate towards a cozy sporty style, the new felt bags might prove an interesting pick. The fab texture by the fabric definitely suits the mood of the chilly seasons. Of course, for true Chanel fans the classiness of a fab quilted clutch with the well known logo is without comparison. These handbags are made from lambskin and calf skin. If the pre-collection features so much good stuff, we can only imagine what the main fall 2013 collection will bring into the spotlight. Either way, the new Chanel website brings a much better view of the new styles, which is a definite plus. Any favorites from the new Chanel fall winter 2013 pre-collection?
Milla Jovovivch fronts the Marella fall/winter 2013 campaign. The stunning Ukrainian-born American model seems to look more and more beautiful in each new campaign for the Italian label. The newest Marella campaign was shot by the well known photographer duo Inez and Vinoodh, who were also behind the lenses of the past Marella ad campaigns. Sissy Vian styled the covetable looks from the new ads. For the upcoming seasons, the label has prepared cool trendy options with a practical vibe.
The Italian label excels at bringing wearable alternatives with fab feminine twists. Marella's fall 2013 campaign revolves around colorful coats knitted sweaters and spectacular leather pants and skirts. These are mixed and matched to perfection in a modern set of looks that instantly turn heads. The new combos are not eccentric or unusual in any way but they feel unique, fresh and ultra classy. The 37 year old model looks absolutely amazing in the new season outfits which have a fierce vibe attached to them. Or maybe it's her attitude? We don't know for sure, but her soft sultry makeup look and her fab disheveled bob hairstyle definitely play an important role.
Unsurprisingly, the classy yet sultry approach to style also extends to accessories. The latest Marella campaign maintains the simple and chic path to a voguish look by keeping accessories to a minimum: irresistible black pumps and a bold animal printed handbag being the only accessories shown in the Italian brand's latest ads. This only comes to show that you don't have to over-accessorize to infuse some personality into your wardrobe!
