It's a time for renewal, for prayer, for family and joy!<br />
Many European countries celebrate this natural event as a festival of fertility when magical things occur. Bonfires are lit, everyone wears a crown made of spring wildflowers and many wishes and prayers are made for the future. There's music and dancing around the maypole.<br />
<br />
I always look forward to this time of the year! I love to make the crown made of flowers, and to wear fresh lacy dress and to walk barefoot on the grass! It's a beautiful time always very emotional!<br />
<br />
So I decided that for my first contest, I would dare all my dear trend makers to make beautiful sets under the Midsummer Celebration theme! You must use at least one photo from my <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/collection?id=963536" target="_blank">collection</a> of beautiful pictures of girls with flower crows in their heads, and the rest is up to your wonderful talent!<br />
<br />
The three best sets get featured right here at Fashination blog for a whole week. And for the 1st place winner gets also featured as Polyfriend of the Week + an interview to get to know you better! So let's start the celebration!!<br />

So give a rest to your flat iron and take a tour on how to have perfect curls!<br />
<div><br />
</div><div><a href="http://www.tigiprofessional.com/htgtl/images/cbcurl_large.jpg" target="_blank" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tigiprofessional.com/htgtl/images/cbcurl_large.jpg" /></a>We are living an 80's revivalism, and of course curls had to come with it. I remember back then as a kid browsing through Vogue's pages and looking at the pictures of models with their beautiful long curly hair. And I really realized the concept of Fashion when I saw the rock band guys wearing also their hair long and with curls. It was a trend back then, and curls are back to being a trend again!<br />
<br />
For those girls that do not have any curls and really want it there are many ways to get them either in a temporary or in a more permanent way. You can choose to go to the hairdresser where they can give you permanent curls in the intensity you would like. Or you can use some methods at home that can give you a temporary curly look. Here's a few:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.yewatchonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/13.jpg" target="_blank" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.yewatchonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/13.jpg" target="_blank" width="235" /></a></div>1. For really intense curls use a curl mousse, hair-pins and A-LOT-OF-PATIENCE! Check this video by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/beauty4passion#p/u/4/xSt3qPNdlro" target="_blank">beauty4fashion</a> (don't mind the green tongue guy...!). For a less intense look check <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/kaaatttmarie#p/u/29/epuFmdcE4FA" target="_blank">kaaatttmarie's</a> video.<br />
2. For overnight wavy hair check <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/fiercelytasha#p/u/16/B78f7crbu4I" target="_blank">fiercelytasha's</a> video, where she braids her hair and sleeps over it!<br />
3. The heated method curls lasts longer so check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/MakeupByTiffanyD#p/search/3/j4tpRMfqKsM" target="_blank">MakeupByTiffanyD's</a> video where she used a curling iron.<br />
<br />
</div><div>So once you have your curls note that if you want it to look good you need to put your time into it. Curly hair takes some maintenance and if you do it right you'll look as perfect as the stars! There's are a bunch of great products that you can use at home to enhance your curls and make them look smooth and hydrated.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Here's some tips on how to have your curls looking it's best:</div><div><br />
<a href="http://www.prohaircut.com/images/loose_curls_waves_12274.jpg" target="_blank" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.prohaircut.com/images/loose_curls_waves_12274.jpg" target="_blank" width="233" /></a>1. You mustn't use a brush on curly hair because it will break and frizz your curls. Comb it instead using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers putting your head down to keep it's volume.<br />
2. Curls need moisture to keep it's shape so you may either use one of the products in the market especially created for curly hair, or a nutmeg of body moisturizer (without any alcohol) and spread it gently through your hair with the tips of your fingers.<br />
3. Style your hair while wet and avoid using hairdryers, since the heat will break your curls and remove all the moisture. Leave it to air dry and resist touching it. This will allow your curls to keep it's shape for longer.<br />
4. Do not go to sleep with wet hair, since your curls will loose it's form. Braid it instead in 3 sections.<br />
5. During the day you can use a sea-salt spray to have your curls regain their shape.<br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span">As for the fabrics we can find denim, lace, cotton and sheer silk, and awesome patterns rise to be the top stars for the season: flowers and plaid. Clothes are structured, layered and define the silhouette. There’s a big attention to details where ruffles and plissé effects provide a pure romanticism.<br />
<br />
The waist line has risen and the pants are becoming wider. There’s still room for shorts and miniskirts but maxi skirts and dresses will be the main item to be acquired for our closet.<br />
<br />
Accessories are used to the maximum with large bags, scarves, boots and platform sandals. Make-up is light and sweet, with a touch of pink.<br />
<br />
Boho chic is the key-style with a touch of romanticism and it is to be worn at any time of the day or the week.</span></span></span></div></div><div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">So <a href="http://www.mulberry.com/" target="_blank">Mulberry</a> is probably one of my favorite bags brand. The variety of their designs and the extreme care given to the quality of their materials and work origin a reliable and durable bag. There's a style for everyone and the color range is beautiful. Their prices actually reflect that care and quality, and you can get a one week stay in a Caribbean resort for the same price as their cheapest model. Definitely is out of my league as I have other priorities. Either way it is always a pleasure to browse their online store.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, speaking of expensive items, Mulberry has a new release that is the fuss around the blogger community. They gave a sparkle to their <a href="http://www.mulberry.com/#/storefront/c5941/5855/morestyles/" target="_blank">Lily</a> bag and turned into <a href="http://www.mulberry.com/#/storefront/c5941/5858/category/" target="_blank">Jewelled Lily</a>! This sparkling handmade Lily takes to the Somerset Factory crew about 18 hours to produce. They hand applied over 3000 pieces in the natural oak leather, from which 2596 are Swarovski crystals and 460 are Mulberry rivets. As any handmade product each one of this limited edition bags is unique. And so is the price, reaching an asonishing €4.400,00.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The opinion amongst the bloggers is divided and this jewel of the crown, as Mulberry calls it, is capable of erousing the strongest feelings, being either hated or loved. From my side I truly love it! I really appreciate the hard work given to this bag! It is a luxury item that I would have if I could afford it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
