I really like the way Penelope Cruz wore her hair at the Oscars and I think something similar would look really good on you. I think if you wanted to you could even add a headband.
I have been searching the web looking for some good pics... but what tri sarah posted, was exactly what i had in mind.... I love that hair style... It is classy yet fun at the same time

thanks for your help! if you are familiar, I went with SJP hair from Sex and the City where she pulls it up in a big messy bun on top of her head... i really liked it and got loads of compliments on it!
