You guys asked some great questions the past few days, and we sent a few of them over to our friends at Echo to give you some pro advice.
Q: I really love the scarf trend, but Im not sure when my outfit does and does not require the extra accessory. I see celebrities wearing them all the time with shorts and t-shirts, but it never looks the same on me. What is a fool-proof scarf included outfit?

(echodesign.com, $42)
A: A fool-proof outfit could include a pair of shorts or boyfriend pants(rolled up), or skinny jeans with a tank top paired with an oversized scarf or wrap, tied around the neck with the ends hanging in front.
Q: With the economy the way it is, I am looking to spruce up my wardrobe for fall on a budget. Im hoping that there are a few things I can pick up that will really transform what I have from last fall and this summer into Fall 2010 style. What are some key pieces I should look for?
A: Echo has some great key pieces at affordable prices that can update your current wardrobe. A solid oversized crinkle wrap is a very easy way to update any outfit. It is seasonless and available in many colors. Also, animal print infinity rings are great pieces that can transform an outfit.

If you’ve never checked out the Echo site, it’s really cool and they have SUCH great stuff! I’m on it RIGHT now and I’m totally debating over the olive or aqua cheetah infinity ring, which one do you guys think I should get? Who am I kidding? I’ll prob end up ordering both. Ya’ll know my undying love of cheetah print!

Natasha Sunshine, owner of Byu-ti/Pureology Salon in Santa Monica is back to giving TSC readers some very valuable hair care advice! You’ve asked and she’s got the answers! If you have any beauty, fashion or health related Q’s you’d like to see answered on TSC, email info@thatssocouturable.com!
Q: I am thinking about making my blonde hair darker for the fall. I’ve never dyed my hair before and would like to go a few shades darker but not dark enough to totally transform my look. I want a subtle, but darker change. Do you have any tips on how I can slowly transform my light blonde hair to a more fall-like color?
A: Absolutely! And you’re a smart girl. The scariest color change is going from light to dark. Even one shade can feel too dark at times. Have your colorist begin by making the underside of your hair near the bottom hairline (about 3” from the bottom) a medium to dark blonde and add the same color low lights to the rest of your hair. Increase the lowlights with each visit until you’ve reached your perfect shade. It would also be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the various types of haircolor terms such as demi-permanent, permanent, gloss, etc. so you can have a more informed conversation with your colorist. Redken offers a great “color glossary” to review! http://www.redken.com/salon-services/haircolor/color-science/
Q: I travel a lot and it makes it hard to see my hair stylist regularly. I am very loyal to her, but I need some advice on how I can keep my cut lasting longer while I am away. Any advice would be great!
If you’re going to skimp on salon visits, make up for it with great products that will keep your hair healthy and shiny between visits. Being a diehard Pureology girl, I’d recommend Hydrate Shampoo and HydraCure Masque. They replenish moisture levels and keep your color fresh and glowing. Another product to keep split ends at bay is Pureology Essential Repair Split End Correcting Treatment.
Q: Last year I had my hairdresser give me “the Rihanna” and it was a drastic change for me since it was the first time I had short hair. I’m growing it out now and it is at a really awkward stage. The length is just under my ears. Is there anything I can do to avoid this awkward length or is it something that I’ll just have to deal with?
A: Growing hair always hits a rough spot and it sounds like you’re there. The best way to keep a modern shape is to keep the bottom back portion of your hair nice and short until the sides reach your hairline length in the back. This way you have fresh “bob” shape during your grow out. If your hair is very thick, you may want your stylist to add some soft layers to prevent a helmet effect. Hang in there!
