The Buy: Native shoes in Torch red

Vancouver-based footwear company Native, founded by a pair of graphic designer-types, launched its first collection last spring: a series of lightweight foam-injected molded-EVA slip-on styles for sand and surf. The shoes come in a range of familiar casual silhouettes (you’ll surely be reminded of classic Wallabees, Champions and Chucks) and in a rainbow of colours. For Canada Day, we suggest the patriotic Torch red.

The Jefferson style is $35 for children’s sizes, $55 for adults, online at Native and at retailers across Canada (click here for a list of stockists)

New Style Icons for 2011

There’s a new crop of style icons coming our way in 2011 - and we can’t wait to see what our favorite celeb fashion stars have in store for us this year! Last year we watched as Katy Perry, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Vanessa Hudgens, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez made some interesting fashion choices! Although we still love ‘em, we’re pretty excited about our new style style stars too!

Chloe Grace Moretz

She stole the spotlight every time she was onscreen in the movie 500 Days of Summer and totally wowed us with her role in Kick-Ass, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the vampire flick Let Me In. But 14-year-old Chloe Moretz has also impressed us off camera with her savvy fashion choices and quirky style.

Elle Fanning

It was only a matter of time before Dakota Fanning’s little sister Elle Fanning grew up! With a starring role in the new Sofia Coppola movie “Somewhere” with Stephen Dorff and an acting resume that spans from the time she was only 2 years old, she’s definitely someone we have our eye on! Only 13 years old, her fashion choices have impressed us with her amazing taste in designers and fabulous shoes!

Lily Collins

Daughter of British musician Phil Collins, Lily Collins has been working as an actress and a model since the age of 2 so she’s no stranger to the spotlight. She’s worn Chanel couture and we just love her sophisticated, put-together outfits! Even though she was raised in Los Angeles, she’s definitely got a bit of British style in her genes!

Hairstyles Make The New Women

One of the best ways to pick a hair style is to look at photos online so you can see a wide variety of hair cuts before you pick a style for yourself. Gather together your desired photos and have your friends compare those photos to your face and ask them to comment if the style would suit you. Also ask what colour should be used to bring out the best in the style of the hair and your facial features.

Looking to experiment with new hair style trends in 2008 then there is an absolute feast of looks and hairstyles to choose from in celebrity magazines and fashion shows featuring the top models. Update your hair style with one of these hot trends that dominate the hair scene this year and you will become the trend setter and envied by other women.

Since every head of hair is different, your unique character can shine within the peaks of a hot new haircut.

Bob hair styles range from ear level to shoulder skimming and are best for straight or slightly wavy hair. If your hair is too curly, a bob can take on the look of a triangle, widening at the bottom in an unflattering way. A mod hair style is similar to a bob, its texture and direction that add a mod feel. This hair style is perfect with halter-necks and strapless dresses and tops.

Medium length hairstyles, mid-length, in-between hairstyles are perfect if you’re growing out your short hairstyle, or wanting to revamp your old boring long hair look. Most medium hair styles also allow for the option of half and half, meaning half of your hair is up while the other half is down.

Long hair styles have always been elegant and beautiful. Many women opt for this type of hair style and most of them look the better for it. However, long hair styles are one of the most time intensive hair styles in terms of maintenance.

Long hair styles can suffer from split ends, breakage and fly-away strands. Most common hair damages are usually caused by poor hair maintenance. The hair can be sensitive to several damaging practices such as improper washing and brushing and a lack of regular trimming.

No matter what texture of long hair you have, even if it is naturally curl and fuzzy, you can change your long hair style in a flash with a flat iron. The trick to achieving sleek long hair is in the tools and products that you use. Simply apply the shine product to your dry long hair and smoothly run the flat iron through your hair from the roots to the tips using sections.

Finish off your long hair style with a little bit of finishing spray, and you’re beautifully prepared to face your day. If your long hair already has some curl or wave, you can accomplish this style with very little effort. An easy way to change your long hair style is to wear it up. This may take a little creativity, but with a little practice you can have your long hair style swept up into an exotic style that only takes a few seconds to achieve.

Long hairstyles include long layers, lots of face-framing layers, some curly styles are getting great press coverage also. Long hair styles usually work well with any hair type, be it straight, curly or wavy. The best long hairstyles are those that use limited preparation time.

Find a good hair stylist and listen to their ideas about hairstyles for new women and what techniques that will work best on your hair, while complimenting your features.
