Yes! Sienna Miller Makes a Plain Ponytail Look This Good

Last night in New York City, 31 year old Sienna Miller arrived at the Crosby Street Hotel for a special screening of Just Like A Woman where she stars as a belly dancing Chicago housewife.

Last night in New York City, 31 year old Sienna Miller arrived at the Crosby Street Hotel for a special screening of Just Like A Woman where she stars as a belly dancing Chicago housewife. Looking beautiful in a black sweetheart, pencil fitting black Burberry dress that she paired with black shoes and a black and red handbag, her fashion style was simple and seemingly effortless thanks to her flattering, form fitting number. But what we love (and also sorta hate) about Sienna's quintessential boho style is that her beauty look is also equally effortless looking. With her blonde hair brightened to perfection, but not overly light, she swept the lengths up in a high ponytail and left her semi-thick fringe looking both blunt and wispy. The hairdo is youthful, playful and shows off her long neck and her fresh-rosy face. Here's what you need to create this super simple style at home on your own.

Although last night's 2013 CFDA Awards took place in New York City, three Brits (aside from Anna Wintour — do we really count her as a Brit anymore though?) made the trip across the pond to represent.

Although last night's 2013 CFDA Awards took place in New York City, three Brits (aside from Anna Wintour — do we really count her as a Brit anymore though?) made the trip across the pond to represent. Wearing all black, Stella Tennant glowed in a Altuzarra suit, Jemima Kirke turned heads in a sheer black dress and Pamela Love jewellery, whilst Keren Craig wore her own black feathery Marchesa design. Out of these three outfits, whose do you like best?

Do You Use Shower Caps?

Here's a beauty confession for you — I collect shower caps!

Here's a beauty confession for you — I collect shower caps! As kooky as it sounds, the perfect shower cap has the following characteristics: a snug fit, it's humidity proof, waterproof and allows enough room for an Alice band and bun underneath. This quest may sound easy enough, but I assure you, after testing out my fair share, there are only a handful out there that are worth their value. Here are eight recommendations that include this adorable range from Liberty London at £20 each. Let me know what shower cap has been able to stand your test of time by leaving a comment below!

What We're Sweet On: A Serious Face Scrub That Delivers

I've sworn by Kate Somerville ExfoliKate (£78) for years, and when I don't use it, I realize how much my clear, glowing skin is a result of regular appointments with my Kate Somerville tube.

I've sworn by Kate Somerville ExfoliKate (£78) for years, and when I don't use it, I realize how much my clear, glowing skin is a result of regular appointments with my Kate Somerville tube. The original formulation is the perfect blend of physical and enzymatic ingredients, so you can be sure you're getting the optimum results with every use.

Try using it when you first step in the shower and leaving it on your face while you do the rest of your routine, so the enzymes get a chance to do their sloughing action. Plus, there are other formulas designed for sensitive skin and acne-prone complexions. Say goodbye to breakouts, scarring, and uneven texture, and say hello to that gorgeous skin you always knew you had.

Kate Middleton Is The Most Inspirational Beauty Icon In the UK

Despite what you may think about Kate Moss being the most beautiful lady in all of the land, she recently lost out on the title of Most Influential Beauty Icon to Kate Middleton.

Despite what you may think about Kate Moss being the most beautiful lady in all of the land, she recently lost out on the title of Most Influential Beauty Icon to Kate Middleton. As it turns out, The Duchess of Cambridge not only surpassed Ms. Moss, but she also attained more votes than Angelina Jolie, Cara Delevingne and Victoria Beckham. The resutls come from a poll created by British website Feelunique.com.

Furthermore, "The Kate effect" has crossed over from fashion into the beauty arena too, proving that one in three women would buy a beauty product that Kate herself uses. Only 15 percent would do the same for Kate Moss. Don't believe me? Well, a representative from mega beauty brand Lancôme said that their Genifique Youth-Enhancing Serum (£92) skyrocketed in sales after the results of this poll were published. Who would get your vote for Most Inspirational Beauty Icon?

When you're plagued with a persistent pimple and need to clear it up fast, never fear. Here's an easy, two-ingredient spot treatment that comes together in no time. All you need is a small bowl of crushed mint leaves and oats.

Procedure:

  • Take a handful of fresh mint leaves and pulverise them with a pestle in a bowl.
  • Next, add moistened oats to the mixture and mix until it forms a paste.
  • Apply evenly to your face, or just to your affected areas, and wait 20 minutes.

Relax and take deep breaths whilst waiting to allow the oats and the oils to absorb. Apply twice a day as needed, storing the remaining mixture in a sealed container in the fridge.

Tess Daly Has Been Named The Next Face of L'Oreal

Congratulations to the beautiful Tess Daly who has just landed a spokesperson gig for the UK and Ireland with L’Oréal Paris.

Congratulations to the beautiful Tess Daly who has just landed a spokesperson gig for the UK and Ireland with L’Oréal Paris. In a press release for the brand, Elen MacAskill, Interim Deputy General Manager said, "Tess truly exemplifies our brand philosophy, 'Because You’re Worth It.’ An accomplished presenter, author and working mother of two whose accessibility, warmth and natural beauty have captivated the nation. We are honoured to welcome her as a member of the L’Oreal Paris dream team." Tess is equally excited to join the ranks at the beauty mega-label. She said,

"I feel so honoured to be working with a brand that I've been a fan of for so long. It’s a brand that puts women first and encourages them to celebrate their self-worth and have confidence in themselves. After all beauty isn't just an aesthetic, it's not just about how we look on the outside, it’s as much about how we feel on the inside. I've been using L’Oreal ever since I was old enough to buy make up. I'll never forget buying my first can of Elnett hairspray, it felt like an initiation into womanhood! A rite of passage if you like. I've been using it ever since! I can't wait to say those iconic words "because you're worth it,” since they celebrate empowerment and accessible glamour for all women everywhere."

I for one am intrigued to see how this successful blonde looks in the ads — how about you?

Shop Pippa Middleton's Tabitha Webb Dress

Yesterday in London, Pippa Middleton attended an event for British supermarket chain Waitrose at the Museum of Natural History wearing a Tabitha Webb Sundance dress. The Summery frock was designed with the intention to help fund breast cancer research through a foundation called Fashion Targets Breast Cancer. 30% of each £275 dress that is sold (exclusively on My-Wardrobe) goes to Breakthough Breast Cancer, the main charity that Fashion Targets Breast Cancer supports. I absolutely adore this peach floral and lace piece that Pippa decided to pair with apricot court shoes and a nude roll clutch. Shop her look here – although unfortunately, her exact dress is already sold out!
