Hot off the runway!

This orange inspired look from the Bottega Veneta Spring and Summer 2009 fashion show features nude, subdued makeup with shimmering orange accents.

To incorporate this high fashion look in your day to day makeup routine, start off with a good concealer to combat any dark circles, like theBalm timeBalm Anti-Wrinkle Concealer, $18. In addition to a nude and brown eye, add a pop of orange shadow to the inner corners of your eyes. I'm a fan of NYX Single Eyeshadow in Golden Orange, $5.

To top off the look and keep the focus on your eyes, apply NYX Black Label Lipstick in Nude, $6, to your lips.

What do you think of this Bottega Veneta look? Would you incorporate orange eye shadow into your daily routine?

For Fergie's photoshoot in Marie Claire, she sports long, dark hair that is a bit unkempt. Whether her hair is up or down, Fergie's styles always look hot! If you are looking to recreate this hair style, you should use a texture spray or mousse to create soft waves in long hair.

If your hair is short, you may want to look into hair extensions to get this look. I have had extensions sewn in before, and although it was a tedious process, I really did like the way they looked. Many salons offer extension application in the forms of weaving and gluing in the extensions.

Although the process is involved, many salons are qualified to do a good job. Be sure that you ask around for reviews of your salon and talk to the stylist about exactly what you want. A salon called Luxury Locs offers extensions, hair pieces, wigs, and more that you can order online. To find out more information, visit Luxury Locs on the web.

If you have a local beauty supply store, you may want to check the hair pieces to get a feel of what you may be looking for. Don’t be afraid to ask for help! Extensions are not cheap, and shouldn’t look cheap if done properly.

Have you ever had extensions? What do you think of Fergie’s style? Let me know.

Jessica Alba is looking cute sporting one of this season's cutest and easiest trends. The messy side bun is perfect for summer and fall because it allows you to work with your hair's natural texture and doesn't require gravity-defying techniques to keep it in place.

To get a look like Jessica's, follow this advice from Redken Session Stylist, Noah Hatton. Begin by creating a deep side part on either side of the head. Prep by spritzing Fabricate 03 Heat Active Texturizer on dry hair and blow-dry the product through. The use of product will add extra texture to the tail resting on the shoulder.

Next, gather all of the hair in a low ponytail on the opposite side of the part, just below the earlobe and secure with elastic. “Don’t pull the end of the ponytail all the way through the last loop. Stop midway. This creates a loose, deconstructed bun – we see this look sported quite often on the runways at Fashion Week,” Hatton explains.
