Redkin's Tips for Hair Color, Cut, Style and Fashion Tips

I am posting this to share a short article on Redkin's site by celebrity haircolorist Tracey Cunningham and fashion stylists MAC+MIR that give you quick tips for hair color, cut, style and fashion tips based on your face shape by picking which of the six shapes shown that best reflect your face shape.

As trying to do the the picture in the mirror thing to show mine made me realize I need to clean off the area around the sink as there isn't a square inch of counter top to be seen I instead pulled an older picture back from my bleached blond days at Cedar Point (an amusement park) that best shows I am an "Inverted Triangle"

It advised having it darker at the temples and lighter from the chin on down and having fullness around the jawline and fashion tips like wearing scarves.  

While we all know that black roots on blond hair are not attractive, I have found since I have gone back to dark hair that retouching the graying roots that are coming in with a shade that is one shade darker than the rest of my hair does seem to make my wide forehead not look quite a wide.

I did notice there was a typo in the "Circle" section under fashion tip where I am sure they meant to say "necklines" and instead typed "snecklines" but it did give me a chuckle imagining what a "sneckline" might be.

1900-1909 Inspiration Pieces

I am going to participate in  "Sew Through The Decades" on Max California's blog aka "Queen of The Trailer Park"   She was inspired by the same challenge over at A Lemon Squeezy Home last year.

First up is 1900-1909 from Jan 16- Jan 22 - 1900-1909.  As I do want to make something that someone will actually wear, I plan on using some of the following for inspiration to come up with a modernized version, although I have not decided for sure what I will make.  If nothing else, could adapt to make Barbie clothes for future grandchildren.

This was spotted over at a blog I follow What I Found which features vintage ads and patterns.

From other searches it seems like cinched waists, corsets, puffy sleeves, gored skirts and scalloped edges were in fashion.






 

A Lemon Squeezy Home came up with the above cute scalloped little girls skirt for her challenge last year

1903 Nine Gored Skirt over at Vintage Pattern Lending Library

 Here are some 1909 aprons for under "working clothes on Wikipedia









Max California posted that she will be focusing mainly on mens fashions for this challenge to see her post click  here.   I plan on figuring out by this weekend what to make and start working on it and will post what I make when I am done.
