Thursday Trend Day | Wedding Hair up do from the Monique Lhuillier 2013 Bridal Runway | Rope Braided Chignon

Hello Lovelies!

Today I'm featuring a close up look and "how to" on the oh so pretty updo's shown on Monique Lhuillier's 2013 bridal collection. Ever so chic and pretty this gorgeous hair Kérastase Paris created at show is so wearable too.


The lead stylist was Brandon Yamamoto from Kérastase Paris and below is a how to:
Step 1 - Create a deep side parting on the left side of the head. Prep hair with Mousse Substantive at the root through ends. Scrunch product through for even saturation.

Step 2 – Blow dry product into hair while scrunching through to create a beachy, loose texture. If hair needs additional hold, spray Lotion Densitive through the ends and blow dry.

Step 3 - On each side of the front, create a rope braid and loosen by holding one strand and pushing the other up. Using and elastic fasten both braids right above the occipital.

Step 4 - Take 1 inch section from nape area leaving the center section of hair out. Fasten each side together just below the previous elastic.

Step 5 - Create another rope braid with the remaining ends of the hair and tuck the ends through hole between the head and the first elastic. Pin to create a loose chignon. Finish with Double Force Control Ultime.

Thursday Trend Day | Makeup Looks from the Fall 2013 Reem Acra Bridal Runway


Hello Lovelies!

Still swooning over all the pretty that was bridal market this year and today I am featuring a behind the scenes look into the makeup that was created for the Fall 2013 Reem Acra Bridal Show.


Bobbi Brown’s team created a glowing beauty look befitting of a bride for the Fall 2013 Reem Acra Bridal Fashion Week show. To balance the Old World elegance of the gowns, complete with lace and beading, the makeup look was fresh yet romantic.

FACE
“Perfect & Even Skin”
·       The flawless complexion was created with NEW Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Even Finish Foundation SPF 15. Perfect for the bride who needs long-lasting makeup.
·       The classic Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick was used for any last minute touch-ups. A must-have for the bridal makeup bag.
·       The face was finished off by contouring the cheeks with Bobbi Brown Blush in Nude Pink.
EYES
“Soft & Romantic”
·       An all-over sweep of a neutral eye shadow, like Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow in Ivory used here, set the base for a soft look.
·       A Bobbi Brown Eye Blender Brush was used to gently apply NEW Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow in Ballet Pink into the crease of the eye.
·       Bobbi Brown No Smudge Mascara gave a dramatic finish to the otherwise subtle look.
LIPS
“Rich Color & Subtle Shine”
·       Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color in Pale Mauve gave lips a rich color combined with a creamy shine. The hydrating formula is perfect for an all day wear with lots of photos in between!

Christina and Joseph's Real Engagement Photo Shoot at South Street Seaport


Hello Lovelies!

Today I am featuring this lovely engagement shoot submitted by Angelica Criscuolo Photography.
Here is more from Angelica: There may be plenty of fish in the sea, but Christina and Joseph were just meant to be that when both decided to try various dating sites, they found each other on PlentyofFish.com! Christina made the first moved and sent Joseph a message. They decided to meet up after a couple of email exchanges and see where it goes. Over gelato and some drinks, Joseph couldn't help but enjoy this beautiful woman's company with her bright eyes, sun dress, and sweet and laid-back personality. What more can an English teacher want? They has so much fun that the even when the bar closed, they went to enjoy each other's company sitting in a car listening to New Kids On The Block and continued to chat until sunrise. Joseph believed that Christina must have fallen in-love with him that night. Not because they had a great date, but because he knew all the words to the New Kids On The Block album. During a Lake George get-a-way, Joseph had planned to take Christina out to many outings and propose. After many attempts and worrying to make sure the ring, which was her grandmother's ring, was still in his pocket, he finally found the voice to propose. They were on their way to dinner and Christina stated they had to go since she was hungry. Well, Joseph decided he had to ask soon since according to Cosmopolitan, if you ask a woman her hand on an empty stomach they probably would say "no" so he started with some sweet words. Well, he attempted to anyway, but stated instead that they shouldn't go out that night as boyfriend and girlfriend. This was a shock to Christina. Joseph recovered and got down on his knees and simply stated the words many women probably can't remember since they are mostly in shock...and Christina was definitely in shock! She said "Yes" with tears of joy. Of course Christina forgot her hunger and proceeded to call all her friends and family to tell the good news.
