My Christmas morning beauty routine goes something like…roll out of bed, quick shower, brush my teeth, and try to fight the urge to steal my niece and nephews’ gifts. But I realize other people have actual lives and looking good on Christmas might be important. If that’s you, here’s four quick hair ideas for just about every hair texture and length.1. Side braid. This chic yet fuss-free style works on relaxed, curly and kinky hair, locs, and weaves. Simply smooth the hair to one side and begin plaiting then secure with a satin bow or ouchless hair band. No need to worry about neatness as this style looks best a little messy.2. Halo of curls. Look ethereal with a head full of curls come Christmas morn. On relaxed hair you can either ask for a rod or straw set at the salon or DIY at home with setting lotion and patient hands. For transitioning, natural hair, and locs, try curl formers or flexirods.OK—roller sets aren’t exactly quick, but once you get the initial work done, you get about a week of quick and easy hair.3. High bun. Show off the neck and add length to your frame with a sleek or messy (your choice) high bun.Need to keep your edges and flyaways in check? Try Dr. Miracle’s Edge Holding Gel—it keeps hairs in check without the tough helmet-head feel and no flaking. Also try Organic Root Stimulator Edge Control or CHI straightener.4. Short and spiky. Have a short do? Play up your texture and take hair to new heights by hand-combing the hair and smooth a little hair pomade for slight hold. If you have short natural hair, stretch it out by twisting or braiding it the night before, apply a little coconut oil on your fingers to avoid frizz when you take them out in the morning, and finger fluff.What are your Christmas hair plans?~Danielle

If you’re looking for new ways to style your short hair or planning a hot date with your stylist and a pair of scissors, here are ten short hairstyles to try this year.1. A coil-out. If shrinkage has got you down, grab a curl cream like Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding, a parting comb, and put on your favorite DVD and get to coiling! Smaller coils will yield more textured results so be sure to carve out some extra time and start with slightly damp hair, add a little curl cream, and make very small twists around the head. Sit under a dryer or let your hair air dry—your choice. Once the hair is dry, you can wear the coils as is for a few days and then take them out to get a glorious ‘fro like Solange Knowles.2. Side-parted natural. Need a fun way to wear your TWA? Head to the barbershop for a side-parted razor cut. As edgy as a cut like this is, you can still have some versatility in your wardrobe with both dressier and more causal outfits. Tolula Adeyemi worked hers with both jeans and shifts.3. Curled out bob. Adding texture is the quickest way to change your style. You can get similar 1920s flapper-esque curls by using a small wand like the Conair Hot Sticks Curling Iron 3/4 inch.4. Layered razor cut. If you want to soften a square-shaped face, a layered cut like the one Viola Davis is rocking is ideal. The bangs help to frame the face bringing attention to the eyes while the sides help soften the jaw line. Check out the subtle highlights at the ends.5. The Wedge. This very geometric cut gives you a classic style with a little edge. Wear it flat to frame your face or add a few curls to switch it up. Do like Estelle here and add a deep cherry red to raven tresses for extra flair.6. Curls with a streak of color. If you have short curls, get them cut into a shape that fits your face (the cut Kelis is rocking works for oval and heart-shaped faces) then have your stylist add a streak of color. Sure it’s a little Bride of Frankenstein, but with the right ‘tude it’s doable. P.S. Don’t you love Kelis’s Grey Ant shades?7. Short and curly with slightly buzzed sides. Take an otherwise safe cut to slight rocker proportions with buzzed sides. It’s like the perfect compromise between sassy and classy. Keep your edges put with a pomade like Dr. Miracle’s Edge Holding Gel.8. Super short. The quickest way to make a statement is with very little hair. Plus doesn’t the idea of having to do very little with your hair excite you? To rock this look do like Chrisette Michele and keep your brows manicured and draw more attention to your face with a bold cheek and lip color combo.9. A simple bob. Simple doesn’t have to be boring—Taraji P. Henson shows us just that with her bouncy take on the classic bob. You can wear yours straight, add some curls or waves, and even slick it back off your face.10. Short cut with bangs. Draw attention to your beautiful eyes with a short bowl cut with bangs. It’s super simple to style (wrap your hair and secure with a satin scarf at night, then just comb down the wrap in the morning) and if you want a change from the bangs, just sweep them back. Simple and stylish.Tools of the Trade:More Carol’s Daughter… Stay tuned for more hairstyle ideas!

Happy Friday Bombers and Bombshells!Tomorrow we’ll be waving goodbye to a very good year, and saying hello to 2012.2011 was amazing for The Fashion Bomb with magazine shoots, the evolution of Fashion Bomb TV, and international fashion weeks.The sky’s the limit for 2012……but before I get into my goals for the future, let’s see how I did with last year’s resoutions!1. Wear more accessoriesLast year I pledged to curb my conservative tendencies and pile on the jewelry. I proceeded to do it up with stacked bling bangles, Melody Ehsani baubles, and more.2. Out with the old, in with the new.I’ve been working diligently in 2011 to make sure my closet doesn’t overflow with unneeded items. In addition to being very generous with my sisters and mom, I’ve also practiced putting things I probably can’t wear again on Ebay. After being snapped dozens of times in the Parker dress above, to Ebay it went! It hurt my heart, but a well-edited closet is a great closet.3. Attend more international fashion weeks.In addition to attending two seasons of shows in New York, London, Paris, and Milan, I also hit up Jamaica Style Week.4. Bring Back Fashion Bomb TVWith the help of the fabulous Dondy Desir of DsEyezProductions, we’ve been able to revive Fashion Bomb TV with exclusive interviews and quality editing.For 2012, I’d love to:1. Attend even more fashion weeks.This year was full and exhausting with all my country hopping, but I’d still love to see what other countries and continents have to offer. I’m set to fly off to Dubai in February and will hopefully be able to swing by Japan and Nigeria this year. Let’s get it!2. Take more fashion risks.Yes, I’m a far cry from my cable knit J. Crew days, but I’m also far from edgy. In 2012, I pledge to push myself outside of my comfort zone, focusing on prints and textures.3. Do more TV.You may not know this, but a long, long time ago I had dreams of doing TV. In college I completed internships at PBS and ABC, and was a page at NBC for a short time before my first full time magazine job (yes, I was like Kenneth from 30 Rock. Yes, we’re both from Stone Mountain, Georgia). At any rate, the Fashion Bomb has opened up so many opportunities to do on air stuff. I have a long ways to go, but I’d love to continue to bring the Fashion Bomb to life on the small screen.4. Launch a lifestyle site.There’s more to life than fashion! In 2012, stay tuned for a Fashion Bomb offshoot that will cover everything from food to travel and art. Of course we’ll keep fashion in the mix.And as this year ends, I want to THANK YOU for your support. 2011 has been AMAZING! From features in Essence to Ebony, Covergirl campaigns, talking fashion on BET, and meeting fabulous people, this year has been the BOMB.I couldn’t do it without Fashion Bomb contributors Jihan, Faith, and Danielle, graphics designer Ashley, and webmaster Zillz. Much love to Fashion Bomb photographer Marta and videographer Dondy. And a BIG OLD HUG to Fashion Bomb readers. You make blogging a true joy and your comments, e-mails, and support inspire and motivate me. Let’s keep the party going in 2012.What are your New Year’s Resolutions?

• Rihanna was spotted in Malibu this weekend taking pictures for an upcoming issue of Harper’s Bazaar.The singer announced via Twitter:  “I did my first #HB cover TODAY!!!!” I can’t wait to see the final images! (Daily Mail)• If you haven’t started following @Roberto_Cavalli on Twitter, I suggest you immediately hit that follow button. In addition to gems like “Do you prefere the sex……. in the day time or in the night?,” the designer treated us to his personal views on the fashion industry this weekend, and some inside information as to why he and Anna Wintour don’t have such a friendly rapport. Cavalli tweeted, “I confide in you a secret… Anna Wintur das nt come to see my show in Milano ……. Why ?? becouse I dont do publicity in American Vogue ??” No wonder he threw all that shade towards Ms. Wintour in that interview with D. Repubblica! It seems Cavalli has nothing to lose… he doesn’t advertise in American Vogue anyway! (Fashin)• The new Antonio Lopez biography has several never before-seen photos of fashion industry notables in the 1970s, including this shot of Karl Lagerfeld taking in some sun and sea in a body builder-esque mankini. I’m just gonna leave this here. (Fashionista)• So, Victoria Beckham, Creative Design Executive for Range Rover (I know, weird) designed a rose gold-accented Evoque Special Edition. Only 200 of these cars will be made, retailing for $128,758, and will include with a four-piece luggage set and hand-sewn wallet with purchase. (Styleite)~Jihan

Sure, we found out where Beyonce got her glittery Christian Louboutin pumps, but most of you were interested in her denim jacket!Of course Shatonia needed the scoop, saying, “LOVE THE JEAN JACKET SHE’S SPORTING.”Others, like Cynthia, wrote, “Claire, any deets on the maker of the denim jacket?”It took us a little while, but we finally found that the jacket in question was this $1,935 number by Balmain:The jacket has a faded, worn effect, zip closure, zippered cuffs, and detailed metallic inserts.Bet ya never would have guessed her jacket cost almost $2,000, huh?Which is why we found you the look for less in our initial post.But, hey, if money is no object, you can get yours at Yoox.com.Would you splurge ?
