Thursday Trend Day | Grasswalkers | Walking on grass has never been so easy!

Hello Lovelies!

We have an amazing trend for you that will get you ready for all those fun outdoor weddings you will be attending this summer! Grasswalkers! This amazing product was created by Sheryl White to help take away the stress of ruining your favorite heels from walking in the grass during outdoor events.

The transparent strips stick right on the bottom of your shoe, no matter the size or style, without causing any damage to your shoe and creating a very sturdy but almost invisible surface to walk on. Grasswalkers are unlike any other heel protector on the market because they were designed to create a flat surface to walk on, covering the entire bottom of your shoe, rather than just the heel.

What's even better, Grasswalkers has made a commitment to donate 25% of all net profits to Arts Education Programs throughout San Diego public schools.

Will you be buying a pair of Grasswalkers for your next outdoor event?!

Ashley + Joseph's New York Wedding | A Red, White and Blue Real Wedding at Coney Island

Hello Lovelies!

We absolutely are loving this red, white and blue themed wedding submitted to us by Michael Chadwick Photography! Ashley and Joseph got married right on the Boardwalk at Coney Island right near their first anniversary, making Memorial Day Weekend an even more memorable weekend for them!

For their cocktail hour, the couple took over (and decorated) the last car on the F-Train, which they took right to their reception at the Housing Works (a beautiful bookstore in Manhattan). We just love this NYC wedding!

Thursday Trend Day | Wedding Hair from the Rivini 2014 Bridal Runway

Hello Lovelies!

Today I'm featuring a step by step on one of the amazing hair styles from NYC Bridal Market! I was just loving this slicked back, polished, chic style created by Franco Della Grazia, Senior Stylist at Cutler/Redken Salons, for the RIVINI Spring 2014 Bridal Show. Would you choose this amazing look for your big day?

Step by Step:
1. Flat iron hair smooth.
2. Section hair at the crown and pull into a loose topknot, for future styling.
3. Next, smooth back hair (along the parietal ridge and temple) and secure in a tight ponytail just below the crown.
4. Undo initial top know and prepare to tease by section for volume.  At the root of each section sprinkle with Redken Powder Grip 03 for grip and texture, then backcomb the first 2-3 inches of the root area.  Set each section with Redken Fashion Work 12 Versatile Working Spray for hold.
5. Using a small dressing out brush, smooth teased hair back over the secure ponytail and lock in with small bobby pins.
6. Finish off with Redken Quick Dry 18 Instant Finishing Spray and a shine spray.
