Style Week Resort Miami: DAY 2!

Buonasera mi amores! I'm back with day 2 of Style Week Resort Miami and as Day 2 came to a close, I was as tired as ever but I could truly say I really enjoyed all three shows. Each designer was on point with their trends and the colors we saw we're just gorgeous. Oh!, & this time I was able to sit front row at the shows so the pics are 100% better!


Now, like last time, first things first. My outfit for Day 2 of Style Week Resort Miami

Earrings: Electric Boutique. Dress: Saks Fifth Ave . Wedges: TJ Maxx. Bag: Micheal Kors. Jewelry: By Me <3

And once again here is my lovely team and I !

Some backstage madness & fooling around!

Nina Cortes From Project Accessory!

And now.....drumroll please! The reviews! First off we had designer Amanda Perna with her 2013 line.This girl put all the right colors in her collection. The colors were absolutely beautiful. Each piece of clothing had such motion to it and I loved that about it. There was tons of sheer add ons and color/print blocking. Her prints were just adorable and the pleats she used took me back to the 20s. Overall her whole line was spot on with the trends and something I would love to add to my closet. Thumbs up for Amanda! 

Up next we had Tess Johnson's line. Now as much as I loved the line for the most part, it was a very hit or miss show. Either I loved the piece or I hated it. Not to mention that it had about 9 pieces in total, not enough to get a feel for her design technique. The paisley print I was obsessed with, as well as some of the colors she used, but the rhinestones had to go. Overall some cute pieces I'd wear, like this amazing sheer dress I could see myself rocking on a yacht sipping champagne. 

And lastly we have Jessica Abernelhy's line! I loved her line! Again very few pieces like the previous line, so not a lot to look at but what I did see gave me a 1950s feel. Lots of polka dots and mid drift tops. It had a total resort feel. The colors were bright and fun and the prints were gorgeous. A great line just needs more pieces! 

Well loves, that's all for Day 2! I'm off to the last and final day of Style Week Resort Miami! Which designers' line was your favorite this time?

How To Video : Hair Chalking

This season colored hair is all the rage & today ladies I'm coming at you with a HOW TO video to achieve color in your hair without the commitment of permanent color! This is called hair chalking. It's so much fun and so easy to do. 
 
You'll need a few things : brush, towel, clips, water, soft pastel chalk, gloves (optional), flat or curling iron and a blow dryer.

All you do is section off the hair you wanna color, wet it , chalk it the let it dry and curl it! SO EASY!

Now just a few tips and tricks before you do this. It does rub off on your clothes a little bit so make sure to wear something close to the color in your hair or a dark color. Also you can add some hairspray to set the color. If you're blonde you don't need the water unless your okay with it staying for a few washes, but if you have dark hair you NEED the water or it'll never work.

Have fun with this ladies and step outside your comfort zone! Send me your pictures of your hair!

Happy Hair Chalking!

This Season's: Hair trends

From center parts to fishtail braids, we've seen all sorts of hair trends on the runway this season. Some new and some old, yet redone for the modern day. Every girl knows her hair style is the cherry on top to any outfit. This season's styles sure do not disappointment and there is something for everyone!

1. Center Part: A throwback to the 70s, this style has been around for decades. It was all over the runway's this season and this straight, center part works for everyone. This style is used best with clean hair, yet for the second day hair issues you can use some dry shampoo. You can wear the center part with pin straight hair or with soft curls.

2. Side Part: A style that we have seen before is the side part. A deep side part, that slightly covers one eye adds a bit of mystery and a ton of style. You can wear this style with your hair pulled up, down or half up. You can add a few hair accessories to glam it up too!

3. Gym Hair: This style we saw all over the runways is a welcome life saver for all of the "hit the snooze button 5 times" before actually getting up types or the ones who love to squeeze a work out in between lunch breaks. This messy look is a total hit! You add texture products to the roots of your hair and work them in while pulling out a few strands for that undone, messy look. Add a cute headband or clip and your good to go!

 

4. Head Wraps: From turbans to large head scarves, head wraps are all the craze this season. Not only are they super cute, but they protect your hair from the sun and other harmful elements too! You can wear a turban with your hair down or with your hair pulled into a side braid, while the head scarves pull up all your hair and tie up on the top. These are perfect for your summer wardrobe.

5. Braids: From the old school braids to the fishtails, braids are everywhere this season. You can pull your hair to the side and braid it or just braid and pin back your bangs. I love braids! You can pull out a few strands for a more undone look. There are different types of braids as well. You have the normal braid, the french braid, waterfall braid and the fishtail braid. The fishtail braid is a beautiful way to style your hair for a casual day on the town or a night out with the girls! It's a personal favorite of mine.

6. Dip Dye & Bold Color: One of my absolute favorite hair style trends this season is the color trend! We've seen this look on the runway and all over Hollywood's finest. From bold color streaks to dip dyed ends, this is a must try! We've seen Katy Perry and Kelly Osbourne rock full heads of bold color choices or large streaks of pinks and purples. Lauren Conrad showed us her dip dyed ends and now she has hot pink tips! I love the dip dyed looked myself. You can achieve this look with a permanent color or you can get ColorRub or use the hair chalking technique for a less permanent look. With hair chalk, the color only lasts one or two washes so it's perfect for a quick change. Look out for a hair tutorial on this coming soon!

7. Top Knots: Last but not least, we have top knots! I am totes guilty of doing a top knot at least twice a week. It is so easy to do and looks so great with so many outfits. All you do is pull your hair into a high ponytail and secure it, then twist the hair into a bun while pinning it down with bobby pins. You can leave it perfect or pull or a few strands. Add some hair accessories for a more glam look and your good to go!
