PRESTO:

THE EMBELLISHED TOPKNOT

"Topknots are everywhere, but they can be really boring," says Chen. "For Taylor [Barringer, ELLE.com beauty editor]

Here she tells us how to funk it up!

She started by giving Barringer a high ponytail. The higher the better x.

Chen then dived the ponytail into two even sections. 

Secure a long, thin belt around the base of the ponytail. "Woven belts are easier for this because you won't have to punch an extra hole into them," says Chen. 

Start wrapping the belt around one section of the ponytail.

Secure the belt with a large bobby pin at the end of the strand. 

Chen then took both strands and began to wrap them around each other. "Make sure to coil the covered section around the front of the topknot," suggests Chen.

Secure the ends of the stands with large bobby pins. 

There you go..The embellished topknot xxox

I love the idea of this glass beverage dispenser trio that can hold fruit and/or veggie infused water (green tea is my fav). It is a great party idea, too.

Yasmin Le Bon, 48, looks half her age as she is announced the brand new face for Monsoon's Spring Summer 2013 campaign.

The Iranian-British model features in a laid-back 70s style shoot alongside equally alluring daughter Amber, 23. They almost look like sisters.

The campaign was shot by iconic fashion photographer, Anders Overgaard in Rajasthan, India; the heartland of hand-block printing and the location of Monsoon’s original 1974 campaign shoot.
