Experience Sassoon For Yourself

admin — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 01:00:31 +0000

Let’ talk hair. We are all picky about our hair, from what products we put in it, to who manages and maintains our hair. Lucky for me I have an incredible team at Sassoon Salon in Beverly Hills to help in those areas that I have absolutely no clue about. We value our colorists and stylists as much as we value our wine at dinner time. It’s needed for perfection. And that’s exactly what I get each and every visit with colorist and stylist, Dianne and Lina. It’s so important to have a good relationship with your creative team because you are trusting your precious hair in their hands and I trust every second of it with them along with their hair product suggestions that I now swear by (linked all suggestions below). I went in last week with the idea of going for an extreme sombre or ombre of some sort. I showed Dianne a picture for inspiration and she gave me her honest opinion that I probably wouldn’t be content with a darker color surrounding my face. And it’s true I’m most happy with my hair when sporting golden locks. So we went for the regular highlights and painted on a brighter […]

ALICEANNA: Made in LA

ALICEANNA: Made in LA As most of you may know already, Sarah and I both graduated from Radford University with BA degrees in fashion. Although I didn’t strictly follow the career path with my design degree, my friend and colleague Patrice Gentile did. The three of us practically lived in McGuffey square, the Fashion building where you would, and still do, find students diligently working away on their master pieces at all hours of the day. It was here that our creativity was built, sculpted and brought forth in to the art of fashion. These memories are something that I still hold dear to my heart. Between the blog and work, I practically live and breathe fashion; however, the creation and design process of fashion take place on another level and it’s that foundation that I miss dearly. From sketching, picking out fabric, draping and finally sewing your piece, all your hard work, sweat and tears will live forever in your garment. I know this may sound cheesy, but it is the sincere truth and Patrice can testify to this. Patrice moved to LA about 4 years ago to be closer to the fashion market and continue her line, ALICEANNA.

Marrin Costello’s Kiss Collection

Sarah and I met Marrin Costello a few years back just as we were beginning our blogging journey and we have kept in touch with her ever since. She is one of the sweetest people we have come across and her passion for jewelry lights up in every piece that she has designed and created. Each collection is unique and genuine to her style and craftsmanship. Whether you like chunky pieces, dainty layering jewelry, body chains, studs, fringe, you get the idea, there is something for everyone. I jumped on the opportunity to view her Kiss Collection a few weeks back where I snapped some photos of the awesome party she threw in conjunction along with the styles. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, this collection is perfect for suggesting or giving a thoughtful gift this year. Everything retails for under 200 and is made with cubic zirconia, 18k gold filled, and rhodium plated sterling silver. Check out the full collection here. Join us this Saturday, January 23rd at 8412 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood. MARRIN COSTELLO & MERCEDES NATALIA present the launch of MCxMN The Collection – a combination of classic pearls and delicate chains with a modern twist. Hosted by Nars Cosmetics […]
