Happy Monday loves!  Hope your weekend was a well-spent one filled with your favorites.  I spent part of mine indulging in some new goodies sampled to me by some of my favorite beauty brands.  All I can say is I came away with a few new loves and several swoon-worthy recos.  So, let's get started!  First there was this smooth and creamy little miracle in a tube that, when I glided it over my skin, transformed my face into a smooth and pretty much flawless canvas that didn't need any further enhancing.  Maybe that's why I forgot to put any foundation on over it the next day, haha!  Seriously, this one is golden.  My hair also got a treat with this luscious masque by the incomparable Oribe.  Glossy, shiny and lush are the three words that come to mind after the blowout.  I say, run don't walk to your salon to give yourself and your hair a luxe beauty moment.  So, is it wrong to say I've fallen in love with a fragrance?  Probably not if it makes me happy which always leads to wonderful things.  This scent is classic and beautiful but then again, does Jo Malone do anything less, ever?  The sample I received was enough to make me want, no make that need, my own bottle.  Ahhh, it's always the little things.  So that's my weekend beauty wrap-up.  Of course, there are several others that I recommend too and they can all be found and shopped via the links below.  I hope you find something that makes your smile sparkle.  Have a beautiful Monday!

To say I'm a bit of a beauty junkie would be, how might I say it, an understatement.  All kidding aside, I am a true aficionado of the art of pampering and making the absolute most of one's individual loveliness.  Hair is such a personal part of one's beauty regime and the image you want to present on any given day.  For me right now, I find myself absolutely loving all things 60's a la Jane Birkin.  To me, this is one of those eras of chic from which today's elements of classic glam were born.  Those long and lush locks with a flash of fringe are everything with me right now.  Add in a gorgeous mix of subtle highlights and lowlights and it's essentially hair nirvana.  Taking care of your tresses is just as important as caring for your skin.  Luckily, there's no shortage of incredible products that will smooth, straighten, shine and satisfy your every styling need.  Oribe is probably my favorite line.  From their luscious Signature Shampoo to the revitalizing Masque for beautiful color, everything I've every gotten my hands on has been other worldly.  With that, I can't wait to try their Gold Lust shampoo and conditioner next.  Ahhhhh. When it comes to styling, I've recently discovered this little gem  from Phillip Kingsley.  Just as the name implies, it gives volume, softness and hold all within three sprays pre-blowout.  What's not to love about that?  This brush and this hair dryer are always at the ready in my bathroom because truth be told, a great blowout is a must in order for your look to last all day.  You can shop these beautifiers along with a few of my other haircare must-haves below.  Hope your having a beautiful Wednesday!

I've had an ongoing love affair with beach hair for as long as I can remember.  From summers gone by up to this day, tousled beachy waves have always been a favorite of mine.  I think what I love the most is not only is it such a pretty look it's also so, so easy to get.  I like to start with a really good texturing mist to add piecey waves and lots of movement to my hair.  This one from Blow Pro gives it a natural feeling wavy style.  Some others that I've tried and loved and that give the same effect are Alterna's Bamboo Beach Ocean Waves, Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray and Fekkai Soleil Beach Waves.  What's you're favorite summertime hair look? Hope you're having a beautiful Wednesday!

nars illuminator / sk-ii / stila shimmer duo / essie nail polish / laura mercier lip plumper / aerin / amazing grace whipped body creme / oribe hair refresher / armani 'luminous silk' foundation / bumble and bumble hair powder / nars the multiple



Styles and trends may come and go but one thing that always remains the same is the need for incredible beauty products that pamper and perform.  April is but only a few days away and springtime beauty routines are definitely what my skin craves right now.  Just like we have been slowly peeling back the layers, our skin is also ready now to shed the heavier colors and coverage and reach for sheer washes and pretty glow enhancers.  One must-have I'm coveting as we speak is this illuminator from Nars.  It's glowly, ethereal quality imparts the loveliest lit-from-within brightness to my skin.  The same effect can also be found in a stick formula via The Multiple and this Stila All-Over Shimmer Duo.  A great skincare routine is similarly essential to any makeup-optional days you may wish to enjoy.  This silkening liquid from SK-II is rich with nutrients and feeds your skin all the goodness it needs as it hydrates, refines pore size and tone, improves firmness and leaves your face with an unmistakable radiance I just love.  For the body, this luscious whipped concoction from my favorite fragrance brand smells amazing and leaves my skin feeling pillowy and baby soft everywhere.  If you've never tried it, give it a go once and I promise you'll not know how you got along without it.  Don't forget a pretty pout before you head out the door.  Some many makeup lines have really stepped it up lately with newly formulated lip colors the combine treatment, shine and color in the most silkening formulas imaginable.  This lip plumper by Laura Mercier hydrates and moisturizes my lips and smells amazing and, unlike typical lip plumping products, it gives you a cool, minty feeling with no stinging.  Ahhh, I'm so ready for those April springtime days ahead and the great results these blushing beauties will give.  You can shop all the items I'm using in the links above and below and get your glow on too.  Happy spring!

Happy Monday! What better way to start a new week than with a little beauty inspiration?  Nothing inspires me quite like a gorgeous mane of lush hair.  From models to fashion and beauty bloggers, these are some of most beautiful manes around.  No matter whether your locks are long and lovely or short and chic, there are some amazing products that'll make the most of what you have.  One of my favorite hair care lines is Oribe.  There's nothing in the collection that I don't like!  This volumizing mist is incredible for giving my hair body and movement.  High shine is also key and this superfine spray mist  gives just the right amount of glisten.  Try using a spritz before you use your straightener and get ready to be dazzled.  This flexible finishing spray is the perfect last step.  Its gives your blowout memory and hold and leaves you looking incredible all day long and even on into the next. 

Have a beautiful Monday loves!

Happy New Year! Whenever January rolls around everyone seems to be making their resolutions for the new year.  For me, I find goals to be so much simpler and a lot easier to achieve. So many of you along with family and friends always ask me for ways to look and feel better.  These ten beauty boosters are some of my favorite picks for getting gorgeous.  Start each day fresh faced and flawless with this decedent cleanser by Eve Lom.  While yes, it's bit pricey at the outlay, the things it does for your skin and the way it softens and smooths is beyond compare.  And, it lasts forever.  I always couple it with my tried and true absolute favorite tool, the Clarisonic.  If you own it, you love it.  If not, trust me, get one. Now.  Your skin will thank you and never be the same.  This curling wand gives my hair the perfect amount of soft, bouncy curves with shine for days.  The fact that it doesn't have a clip on it was tricky at first but so worth the learning curve.  Be sure to become best friends with the heat glove it comes with.   It will save you from all those painful fingertip burns, haha.  These hair vitamin supplements will keep you healthy and your hair lush.  I especially love how quickly they make your locks grow longer.  Finally, while it's nothing new for me, if you are looking for a beautiful, feminine fragrance that you can't live without give this one from philosophy a try.

I hope everyone's new year is off to a beautiful start.  Thanks for stopping by!

HOT Summer Hair























































Summertime entails a lot of what we love....laid back days, easy styles, dress it up or dress it down events and all the fabulous hairstyles you could want to complement each of these moments.  Whether going casual while heading to the beach or glamming it up for your best friend's wedding, these hot summer hair looks are going to be just what you want.


1.  Braided:  Perfect for the sun and sand, a loose side braid is carefree and simple to pull off.  A beautiful benefit of this look?  Those loose and tousled waves you'll get when night falls and you're ready to turn it up a notch.  To get back from the beach waves try:  Bumble and bumble Sea Spray Set, $28.

2.  Pony Up:  Nothing says summertime chic better than a sleek ponytail.  Simple and to the point, this classic look shows off your beautiful features while keeping you cool.  Bonus points - you can work this one everywhere from barre class to date night by simply changing how high or low you go.  Keep your pony full of shine and swing using:  Nexxus Humectress Hydrating Deep Conditioner, $15.

3.  Long and Loose:  Sometimes the moment calls for us to simply let our hair down.  When that is the case, let your natural beauty shine by embracing your hair's texture and style.  Make hair happy and always protect your tresses with a great on-the-go repairing spray:  Rene Furterer No Rinse Moisturizing Spray, After Sun for Dehydrated Hair, $23.

4.  Angled Lob:  This year's of-the-moment cut, the long bob (aka "the lob") is being seen on women everywhere from L.A. to NYC and all the great places in between.  This cut is so fresh and appealing, I've been tempted to give it a try myself.  Easy to wear and simple to style, the lines of this look flatter almost any face shape.  Talk to your stylist to see which length and version work best for you.  No matter your choice, you can keep it looking its best with a fantastic styler:  Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray, $28.

5.  Sleek Bun:  Sophisticated yet simple, this is a favorite style not just in summer but all year round too.  So easy to pull off, a few twists and pins and voila, hair perfection.  Beside being a chic and effortless look, this style also allows you to treat your tresses to a little extra TLC.  Before securing your bun, spray in a nourishing hydrator:  Sally Hershberger Hyper Hydration Super Keratin Spray, $14.


Wishing you a beautiful Monday and thanks so much for reading!
