Addicted. Hi, my name is Jeannine Morris (soon to be Jeannine Morris Lombardi) and I'm addicted to Pinterest. Oh, you too? Glad you understand my need to endlessly pin and upload, pin and upload and of course... search for more. Lately, it's wedding day finishing touches I've been searching for with my hairstyle top of mind. Nine months and counting... here are some elegant ones that caught my eye so far. Let me know what you think!
The September issues are out! While I'm soaking up as much of summer as we have left, my fall schedule is already jam packed and NY Fashion Week invites have already started flooding my inbox. Therefore, it's only appropriate I prepare you with the hottest hair styles for fall as I saw last fashion week. To dissect each one, I spoke with Celeb Stylist, Ted Gibson.
Braids – Braids are so huge right now and I love this uncontrived, half up, half down look! We are doing fashion braids like this everyday with my new braid luxe service at my W Fort Lauderdale salon. Braids are great for any occasion – they’ve been all over the red carpet lately! A woman with braids has a bit of wild side, but knows how to keep it all together. The look pictured features two small braids taken from the front of the head and meets down the middle to form one braid. I love how the look is kind of messy – it adds a fashion element. To achieve this look, use a blow drying spray like ted gibson build it blow drying agent to add texture to the hair.
Sleek, straight, center parted – I love the pin straight, center parted look – it’s just so sexy!! I love this look for to add sleekness to your daytime look or for date night. The look pictured is super shiny, sleek and straight with a center part. For this look, use a shine serum like tame it shine lotion to add incredible sheen and to smooth flyaways.
Side swept – I love this look because it’s super sophisticated. A woman with side swept hair is strong, determined and knows what she wants. This look showcases a deep side part with the hair pulled across her forehead. For the look, make sure you have a good hairspray like ted gibson beautiful hold to keep everything in place.
Low ponytails – Low ponytails are super hot for the Fall! They are great for night or day and scream sexy, yet sophisticated. To achieve the glossy look pictured, smooth the hair back into a low ponytail using a gel like ted gibson fix it gel.
Out of control volume – I loved the 80s and this look brings me back there! It’s so Jerry Hall! Wear this hair to stand out in the crowd at any party. To achieve this look, wash your hair with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner such as L’Oreal Professionnel’s Volumetry line. Next, curl your hair with a curling iron, then back brush to your desired volume.

Yes, I spotted Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr out and about during New York Fashion Week with a mid length bob. Even though I caught glimpse of her before Herve Leger, she also attended several other shows like Marchesa and I got the 411 on her bob transformations from Pureology Colour Ambassador, Ruth Roche, who worked with Jessica throughout the week.
"Since Jessica still has some length to her bob it leaves her with a lot of styling options," commented Roche.
To achieve smooth bob (as seen at Herve Leger), all Roche did was blow dry Jessica's hair with a round brush, but shine serum was the key to creating smoothness and adding a bit of separation. She used Pureology Colour Stylist Cuticle Polisher. I use this too and just place a small amount in my hands, rub them together to warm it up (so it distributes well) and then rub on my ends for added smoothness.
To get a more texturized look like the style Jessica rocked at the Marchesa show, Roche blow dried her hair and then used a 1 1/2 inch curling iron to randomly curl sections of her hair inwards and outwards. The trick to this 'do was to leave the iron in longer on some sections than others and pulling other curls out a bit so the curls were all different. In the end, the loose waves were texturized with a lot of movement.
I absolutely cannot wait for the Oscar's tomorrow night, but feel it's bitter sweet because the ceremony brings a close to awards season, my favorite season of the year.
I got the scoop from celeb stylist, Sally Hershberger who works with major A-Listers including Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan and Blake Lively on her predictions for Oscar-worthy hairstyles.
"I predict lots of flow and movement," Hershberger commented. "For those who opt for their hair up, the the overworked, over-styled updos are gone and the modern take on it is a soft, sophisticated style that is still youthful and pulled together."
Thinking back to the Golden Globes, which was just a few weeks ago, I guess Hershberger would be surprised to see anyone walking the carpet with a 'do like the stiff mess that was on Scarlett Johansson's head.
What was she thinking anyway!?
