A Royal Affair

 
 With barely a month to go until Kate Middleton weds Prince William everyones talking about the bride to be, what she'll wear, who she'll wear and of course what about the hair.

The lovely Kate will of course look fantastic whatever she wears but with a nation watching, royal in-laws to keep happy and traditions to follow you can be sure that she'll look immaculate.

Here are a few suggestions for Kate (she of course reads our blog religiously, we wish) 

With hair as thick and healthy as Miss Middleton's I think she should show it off to it's very best. Kate's hair always looks fantastic with volume, a bouncy wave and deep shine, I'd recommend a 40's inspired curl to frame her face and trail across her shoulders and back.

I love the tousled effect on this fantastic style but for Kate I'd reccomend some more styling and more height, I bet she'll have a huge tiara to support, lucky girl!

To acheive the look on the left, start with day old hair (this is hair washed the day before, ideally treated with a deep conditioning treatment) Plug in some heated rollers and while they're warming apply a thermal protection spray and apply a gloss serum or spray to your hair and decide where to wear your fringe, section away from the rest.

Wind your rollers back away from your face starting from the centre, use the smaller rollers towards the bottom to acheive volume. Spray with hairspray. Leave for 20 minutes or until cool

Carefully unwind the rollers taking care not to pull them out so you don't damage the curl, shake the curls gently with your fingertips and position, you may need to brush some sections gently to smooth (don't use a comb, you will seperate the curl). Take down your fringe and use straighteners to curve the fringe across your face and to the side. Secure with a grip. 
Apply gloss and hairspray and voila!
I love this 40's inspired do and would love to see a version in Kate's lovely long locks with a demure fringe across the eye. 

To achieve this look set your hair with the heated rollers exactly as before but this time include your fringe. When the rollers have curled use a stiff bristled brush sprayed with a gloss spray and hairspray and gently tease out the curl. Place the brush underneath the curl and place your hand on top of the curl and gently brush out whilst smoothing into shape with your hand. 

Gorgeous!!!

What is going on in celebsville?

In the past year there have been a multitude of celeb break-ups and divorces, some not so surprising, some just crazy weird and some we are utterly shocked about!!

I mean Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman have called it quits, they have a son together and all seems amicable from the outisde but if you listen to the gossip sites all is not as it seems. X-tina has been spotted out many times getting her drink on (who doesn't after a break-up) she's seeing someone new already who has moved in according to some online gossip sites BUUUUUT according to reports her ex-hubby is still living in the same house!! All a little bit too close if you ask me!!!


The big but so unsurprising news is that Katie price and Alex Reid are now over, did you see it coming?? And yet again reports state they still live together, well actually reports state that Alex refuses to leave, I feel sorry for the bloke, his pride is obviously seriously dented but honestly who did he think he was kidding?? Marrying someone a few months after they've gotten divorced from a man who Katie admits is probably the love of her life!! We just thank god there are no children in that equation, we are seriously bored with the tit for tat between her and Peter!!

Jude Law and Sienna Miller have called it a day....AGAIN.....really does anyone care now?? I don't so we'll leave it at that!! Olivia Wilde (the O.C) has seperated from her husband Tao Ruspoli after 8 years of marriage, this couple weren't even on my radar until the reports of the sepeartion. Olivia got hitched to Tao when she was 18, and get this the stunning male is a prince.....A PRINCE.....hubba....that is all!!!

The Halle Berry split form her baby daddy Gabriel Audrey is taking more and more turns for the worse with it looking to end in a bitter custody battle. So far we've heard reports of Gabriel verbally abusing Halle, even calling her the N word and apparently takes much offense to their daughter Nahla being referred to as black. We're not sure where the truth is in this break-up but either way keep it to yourself guys!!!!

The latest break-up that has literally shocked us to the core are Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz, you know off of Fall out Boy?? We are massively confuzzled with this one, Ashlee this week filed for divorce citing irreconcilble differences and is asking for spousal and child support. Doesn't she have her own money? We are so sad over this one, Ashlee and Pete keep from the public eye, she dropped her workload to focus on family and he hasn't been touring in a while so we're very sad and left scratching our heads in wonderment! So far neither party have commented on the split but we think Pete has seriously P****d Ashlee off!!!

Courtney Cox &David Arquette, Taylor Swift & Jake Gylenhall, Paris Hilton & Doug Reinhart, Lenny Henry & Dawn French, Kelsey &Camille Grammer, Hayden Christensen & Rachel Bilson, Jenny Mcarthy & Paul Krepelka, the list goesn on & on!! 

Well as long as Posh & Becks are still reigning supreme this stylist is a happy girl!!!

Come'on Celebbies, Keep it Together!!!
