I wanted something festive and fun and feminine for Valentine’s Day and even though red is the official Valentine’s Day color, it can also look very Christmassy to me. And since Christmas was just a few months ago, I thought I’d go with pinks. I originally planned on doing a pink French manicure but last …
I actually created and planned this hair tutorial last week then randomly watched the Elie Saab Spring Couture show and realized my creation was a very similar style to the hair worn in the show. And though it is gorgeous, it wasn’t my original inspiration but I felt a bit obligated to refer to it. …
I wanted something bright and festive and fun for New Year’s Eve and didn’t want to stick to just gold or just silver so I combined the two by painting half of my nail with one and the other half, with the other. It’s similar to my dark glitter stripe manicure and nude glitter stripe …
This low side bun is one of the easiest and quickest hair styles to create and works perfectly for various occasions. It can go from a messy, bohemian look to a sleek and pretty updo simply depending on the way you secure it & style it. For this particular tutorial, the goal is a quick …
I loved my midnight + gold glitter nails so much I thought I’d try the same idea on a lighter shade. The result is so subtle, and so elegant, and a major challenge to photograph! They trick my lens as they do the eyes but make you want to keep looking at them just to …
Now more than ever nails have become an added accessory to outfits… and I love it. This weekend is my cousin’s bachelorette part and I plan on wearing a black dress with gold shoes so I thought I’d give myself a manicure that would compliment the outfit. I used OPI “Lincoln Park After Dark” which …
I’m so in love with this fun little nail trend that I may just use every single one of the 24 glitter glues in the Martha Stewart collection. Since it’s not quite Fall yet, but getting darker earlier *sadface* I wanted nails that were not exactly dark and not exactly light either. Gray was an …
If you follow me on Instagram you already know about this because I shared it there see photos below but the other night I slept on twisted buns to get these BIG CURLS just to switch it up a little which the husband LOVES. In fact he said “You know, you could do that MORE …
I’m going to be completely honest when I say I painted my nails these colors because I knew they would match my engagement and wedding rings AND the new anniversary bands. Yes, it was a cheeseball move but I actually loved the way they looked. I found a seriously old Wet n’ Wild pink in …
Like most things involved with lady maintenance, I’m pretty lazy {see dark roots} and when it comes to makeup, I’m no different. I like one-step and double duty products because I don’t want to spend more than 10 minutes applying a daytime look. Also, I tend to run late as it is so anything I …
Oh Summer, why do you come and go so much faster than I’d like? I know I may be jumping the gun because it will be warm in LA until mid October but with football and fall fashion on the brink, the colder and darker months are looming. So with that in mind, I decided …
I’m not the originator of this hair style but I’ve gotten so many requests for it, I thought I’d give it a go for you. I don’t know what it’s called either so I haven’t researched it and/or found any other tutorials for it …thus, this is my version of it, and I’ve dubbed it …
Even though there are tons of fishtail hair tutorials on youtube …I keep getting requests for one. So, I give you . . . a how-to fishtail braid video {sorry it’s a little dark} but enjoy. Once you know how to fishtail, doing them for any hairstyle is quite simple. The one I did in …
These little rope braids are a fun way to add a little style with your own hair, creating a sort-of headband of sorts. Your hair doesn’t need to be extremely long, but you do need some length to cover the top of your head with. If you have layers, you could instead create a tiny …
I wore a more relaxed version of this hair style in an outfit post in June of 2009 but for reasons unbeknownst to me, I never did a tutorial for it. Recently though, a few of my lovely readers have asked for it …so here it is. Enjoy! If you can’t see the video go …
