Ever gotten your hair cut after a break up, or changed the color when you’re looking for a new job?
Truth is, most of us have. That’s because one of the most visible changes we can make to our appearance is by changing the look of our hair.
So if you’ve set some New Years resolutions to become a better person in 2012, help give yourself a new look to go with a new attitude and try some of these easy hairstyles.
Twisted Sister
For a look that will help you remember to be the new you, try this retro pin-back look called the twisted sister.
Start by sectioning off the front and sides of your hair and securing on the top of your head with a clip.
Then arrange your back section into a messy bun that sits at the nape of your neck.
Next you’ll start taking small pieces of your hair, one at a time, and twisting them loosely before securing them on and around your messy bun.
As you alternate sides go for a messy, but woven look, leaving some strands free around your face to soften the style.
The Bun Braid
The bun has been championed by the young, the restless and the lazy everywhere. But this trick turns your ordinary bun into something exciting.
Start by flipping your head over and french braiding your hair from the nape of your neck up. Then, when you’ve reached the crown, or roughly half of your head, secure the braid with a small band.
Flip your head back up and pull all of your hair, included the braided pony, into a high pony tail on top of your head.
Next, tease your pony starting at the bottom and working your way up. Finish by pinning your hair into a classic bun shape.
Whether you live somewhere where you’re more likely to walk on the beach during the holidays than you are to pull out the sled, celebs everywhere are donning white for this winter season. 
Because it can be very summery when worn casually, try to stick to wearing white at more dressed-up occasions. Any holiday party, New Years event, or a red carpet affair if you’ve got friends in high places. 
Although it might seem like the world of sports and fashion don’t necessarily mix, this season designers are getting their inspiration from athletes. 
There are few trends that are simpler than the jumpsuit. Although the idea of slipping into pants and your top all at once might seem juvenile to you, this one by DKNY is the epitome of elegance. 
To offset the long look of the maxi, mix it up with a cropped jacket. This can either dress up or dress down your look depending on the jacket.
Like it or not, summer is officially over, and fall is beginning to rear its autumn colors. 
If you’re afraid to drape yourself in this strong, Fall color, use a bright shade to accent your ensemble, for example, orange pumps, or an orange clutch.
As the summer’s coming to a close, cross-body concert hand bags are only beginning to make their debut. 
Men will always wear hats, but a hat that has flipped fashion is the fedora. The male musician that really showcases the fedora fad will catch a grenade, tell his girl she is beautiful just that way she is, and wants to be a billionaire so freakin’ bad—Bruno Mars.
