Looking to reinvent or vamp up your look for the season ahead? It's easy to do without breaking the bank, by using a few quick hacks and tweaks!
Use a hairpiece
If your hair is short and you crave luscious swinging locks, simply use a
clip in ponytail to transform your style and turn heads! These
synthetic hair pieces are wonderfully easy to use - simply select the right colour to match to your hair, and then use the attached clip to secure the piece into place. Sweep it up into a high ponytail, or weave it into a low and classic chignon.
Switch your colours
If your usual look is natural and under-stated, you'll be amazed at the difference that a pop of colour can make to your overall appearance. Try one of the seasonal reds or party neons and simply use in one place to add fun and style without being overwhelmed. For example, you might want to try a sparkling disco eyeshadow in place of your usual taupe, or embrace a bold berry lip in favour of your usual clear gloss.

Get curling
If you usually iron your hair, use your curling tongs to create romantic soft curls - or go for tight whirls for a disco babe look!

Add a hair tint
If you aren't ready for the cost or commitment of professional hair colouring, why not experiment with a leave in tint or semi-professional colour at home? Modern formulations add moisture, tone and incredible shine to your hair, giving it a new lease of life!
Clothes swap!
Tired of your wardrobe? Carry out a clothes swap with a friend of a similar size, whose style you admire. You'll both find items that you are ready to trade, and you can create new looks in the process, without having to fork out on a new wardrobe! Even better, get your friend to suggest some new outfit combinations - you'll get a fresh perspective and new ideas!
Upgrade your manicure
If you usually go for simple colour or nude nails, why not have fun with nail art for the party season? A swish of metallic, or a layer of sparkling jewels; you'll find superb nail art accessories to transform your look!
Add an accessory
A hat, scarf, glasses or jewellery all can work to transform your existing look. The trick is to embrace just one or two and use them to 'lift' your wardrobe. For example, simple jeans and a tshirt look really funky when paired with a coloured fedora, and dark rimmed glasses paired with red lips and an up-do is very chic.
Change your perfume
This is a quick and easy way to change how you feel, as well as how you look! Try a new perfume sample - switching orientals for woody fragrances, or florals for zesty perfumes for example. You will feel invigorated and really notice the lovely new scent on your skin and clothes.
