Carrie Underwood looks beautiful here with this formal side swept ponytail that flows over one shoulder and looks beautiful with her strapless dress. Her bangs are straightened with a flat iron and are arranged to each side while the rest of her mane is full of lovely waves with one side is pinned up.

cropped hair and glasses

If you are thinking of cutting your locks really short into a great cropped style and you wear glasses, check this look out. This woman is mature but not old by any means and she is a bleach blonde with a razor cut fringy 'do that is cut above the ears and has bangs that are full of texture and show most of the forehead. Her glasses are a bit on the edgy side with black rims and shiny speckles that look a tad bit like little white polka dots. Why not use eye wear as a fashion accessory and play it up.

Blake Lively has full long blonde locks that are styled into the popular-for-summer-and-fall beachy waves. This fun and casual look can also be dressed up as she is shown here in an orange party dress. To add some interest and a signature she has a couple of thin braids set near the front and they are tucked back under the strands and behind the ear on one side. This picture of her was taken at "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" New York City Premiere.

Retro hairstyles are really big right now and this one is from the decade of the 40s when victory rolls were all the rage. This young woman has her locks rolled toward the back as they cascade down her neck and they are secured into place with bobby pins. She is wearing a red hat that matches her dress and they are both true to form of that era.

lIf you love vintage hairstyles from the 1950s, here is a great example of a style that was very typical for young mothers during this decade.

1950's Mother and Baby

Short hair was very popular and so were very classic short bangs that were curled under. The sides of this style are cut above the ears and are brushed downward with curly ends. Mom and daughter have the same medium brown hair color. This is a darling photo of mom holding baby.

We cannot forget the bright red lips that are a focal point. She is wearing a short sleeve black dress that has a black and white collar.
