Bouncy and Behaving Hair to Wear

While this spring may be all about going au naturale, that doesn't mean your hair needs to look like an unbrushed rats nest. There are plenty of ways to coif your coif without looking like a Barbie doll that aren't all that hard to pull off. Our number one choice for that perfect "oh, my hair looks good? I barely did anything to it" white lie you're dying to tell your friends is the bouncy blowout.

Now, the point is to look "perfectly undone;" however, there is certainly a process to doing this 'do. First, wash your hair (duh), and then infuse your dampened roots with a gel volumizer like Shu Uemura's Fiber Lift. Then, allow your hair to dry on its own to about 90 percent dryness. Part your hair into three sections horizontally and use a round, boar bristle brush for blow drying. When drying the ends, switch your blow dryer's setting to "cool" for a cold set. This will hold the curl at the ends all day long. Once the hair is all dry and fabulous, go ahead and throw in a few barrel curls just at the ends. Be sure to start halfway up your hair for a more natural look. Finish off the look with a spritz of hairspray, flip your hair and shake, and voila! Perfectly tousled locks that even Serena Van Der Woodsen would hate your for.

Boden Brings English Style to the US

Boden was founded in 1991 with only eight menswear products. Womenswear soon followed, along with adorable clothes for kids aptly named Mini Boden. It was not until 2002 that Boden launched in America.

The line can be described as the English version of J.Crew. There are lots of tweed blazers and breton stripes in the fall/winter collection, and bright colors and polka dots for the spring/summer.

Their adorable (and flattering) women's swimwear line has a lot of people talking, not to mention their always abundant supply of work-appropriate dresses.

They also offer maternity clothes, petite sizing, special occasion dresses, and longer lengths in most dresses and skirts.

Purr-fect Opening Ceremony

Industry favorites Carol Lim and Humberto Leon have been busy this season turning around Kenzo and reimaging it as a must-have brand. Lucky for us, that doesn't mean they've forgotten the cult brand that first blasted them into popularity: Opening Ceremony.

The spring 2012 line draws its inspiration from summer music festivals, ranging from England to Argentina, and then back to the U.S. The festival look, with obvious nineties influences, gives us a collection that will no doubt be everywhere by next summer's festivities. Combining a plethora of baby-doll and crop-top silhouettes, the line features this year's must-have (thanks largely in part to Grace Coddington) ... CAT FACES! Adorably imaged on many of the collection's white pieces, the cat faces are both graphic and cut out — but, in both cases, awesome.

Check out more pictures of the line after the jump, and start your new list of must-haves!

Mother of Pearl, What a Look!

It's no secret that immediately after Chanel previews their runway show, the whole industry — the whole world, really — clamors to keep up with the new trends. One of the key trends from the show this morning was a tried-and-true favorite: a new Chanel nail polish color!

With an outstanding "under the sea" theme, it's no surprise that pearls were abundant, from hair accessories to nails. The mother of pearl color featured on the models' nails are very on trend with what has been shown, but different enough to make them an absolute must-have.

Edgy enough for night, classy enough for day — how will you pull off this pearl of a look?

Add Some Hue To Your Do'!

Looking for something totally rad to spice up your lack luster locks? Well, even though fall is just beginning that doesn't mean you shouldn't be pulling inspiration from the recent SS'12 shows of the past few weeks. Personally, we are absolutely in love with the pumpkin tinted, peek-a-boo highlighted bangs seen on some of the models at the Peter Som show.

This is the perfect color to splash into your locks if your fair haired. It is dramatic enough to stand out but won't look like a bad teeny-bopper dye job from 7th grade. Not to mention, that this tangerine based hue is the perfect way to add warmth and allure to any complexion.

Oh, and don't worry brunettes. We didn't forget about you! While the tangy color may not be the best choice for you, test driving that ultra deep side-part, seen on all of Peter's glamazons, is an absolute must!
