New Hair Product Crushes

Drybar has become a hot spot for blowouts in the DC area lately - everyone is raving about the place, with pictures of gorgeous hair to match. I've yet to go there, but was pleasantly surprised to see that Sephora now carries some of their products. They've got to be great, right?! I'm looking forward to trying their Weightless Shampoo and Conditioner, and the Volumizing Mousse, too. Since I cut my hair short, I've been going for the wavy/messy look a lot, and the more volume that it has, the better.

But the one product I continue to be obsessed, and I mean OBSESSED, with? The Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray. My sister-in-law told me about this baby and everything you hear about it is true - it's amaaaaaaaazing for creating volume and texture. And it's a dry shampoo. Trust me, I am not a big hair/makeup person, but even I can use this product with ease and see great results.

Have a great weekend, all!

lavender love

lavender is such a pretty shade...it looks great in everything from gowns to rooms to beauty...it's soft and angelic (with a bit of spunk from its purple beginnings), and when done right, it's striking.

steel the show



my love for grey doesn't stop with apparel and accessories...it extends to beauty products as well, with a darker, steely, metal shade of grey being my current favorite for eyes and nails. there is nothing beautiful or sensual about this color, but that's what makes it so exciting in beauty...it makes a statement without making a statement.

polished snooki

when looking for hair 'dos, it's all about the height, volume, and drama. so, for your next big shindig, choose any of these looks. they've got class and style, but still pack a real punch with a whole lotta attitude.
