Autumn/Winter Hair Trend 2014 Roksanda Ponytail

Arianne Suggs October 6, 2014October 6, 2014Leave a Comment

We love any hairstyle that is effortless, cool yet super stylish. Ponytails will never go out of style, especially since the ways to design one continues to get a fresh makeover on a yearly basis. We enjoyed the look created for Roksanda for the autumn/winter collection. The hair look is pulled back with not so much emphasis on sleek perfection allowing a few wisps to to escape and is accessorized with a headband. The headband is a perfect addition to deal with the impending winds of the fall and winter seasons.

Beauty Quickie: Never skip the step of moisturizing when it comes to your beauty routine. Moisturizers help keep skin smooth as well as supple and forms a protective film over skin to protect it from the drying effects due to weather. Nonetheless, be sure to pay extra attention to the jawline as well as around the ears, for these areas tend to be overlooked.

The lovely Binx Walton is “fit” to be in Chanel’s ad campaign for autumn/fall 2014 collection. Walton can be seen with fellow supermodel Cara Delevingne working it out in a gym setting. Okay, we will stop with all the puns for a second just so we can express how amazing this campaign looks and feels. The fashions are strong yet soft, edgy but romantic. You can be a good girl gone bad in these fabulous couture styles or a bad girl reforming…well, just a little anyway (wink, wink). Congrats to Binx for scoring yet another fabulous ad campaign for another iconic fashion house.
