5 Day Hair.

Some of you may remember a few weeks ago, when I went to New York and got some beach waves courtesy of blow.  Did you know that they are the original blow dry bar?  I was super impressed with the stylists as well as the products.

True story-  My stylist asked me if she needed to wash my hair before she curled it and I said “Probably…  I am on day 2.”  She literally laughed at me and said “DAY 2????  Honey, I wash my hair once a week!”  As I went on to talk to other stylists, they all admit to washing their hair only 2x a week.  So I asked them how they get away with it and they (of course) told me dry shampoo.  Now, I am no stranger to dry shampoo, but I find myself using it on Day 2 and needing to wash my hair after that.  Then they introduced me to the blow pro faux dry shampoo..  I have been using it since my visit and just stocked up on two more bottles.  I am obsessed.  Now, I still will only go a maximum of three days with it, but man does it make my hair feel clean and voluminous!   
Another secret?  They also make this awesome shower cap that has a terry cloth inner lining that protects your hair from the moisture created with a regular shower cap.  Love it!

Thinking Pink.

Our master bathroom is waaaay overdue for a makeover.  Now the question is what to do, and how fast can I scrape together the money to do it.  The girls bathroom is also ready for a makeover, and I figured, why not do it all at once?  For some reason, I keep putting my room on hold and continue to focus on theirs… And I can’t help but think pink wallpaper.  By now, you all know, pink is my absolute favorite color…. I just don’t think I can resist.  Here are some contenders…

Fashion Friday: Neon Yellow + Nude.

A few readers asked me about the neon yellow and nude lace shirt that I wore to the party at Jonathan Adler’s studio this summer.  It’s from AT’s Spring Collection.  While they don’t have the neon yellow in stock any more, they do have a rose version, which is pretty damn cute.  Anywho.. I am still not off of my neon yellow and nude kick….
Summer is coming to a close, but it is not a reason to ditch this delicious duo.

Untangled.

Just yesterday, my friend and I were talking about how our jewelry drawers are such a train wreck.  

Well, chalk another one one up to Pinterest, where I found this perfectly organized jewelry collection by Sarah.  
 I need this lucite bracelet stand.
This one is out of stock.  You can find a similar one, here.

Make an Investment.

Last year, I was torn on what color  J. Crew Excursion Vest to get.  It was like Sophie’s choice-  I chose orange, but I also wanted navy.  Sadly, by the time I realized my mistake, they were all sold out.  Oh, the regret!

  I couldn’t be happier to report that they are back in stock.  Get yours before it’s too late!

I’m in a New York State of Mind.

Last week, I went to New York for work.
 We had some great nights…
 …and some good mornings.
We stayed in the meat packing district, near our office…  at the Standard, right next to DVF.
 There was a lot of this.
and some of this.
 Here we are at the top of the Standard.  A little too hipster for me.  But I decided to go with it…

After a few cocktails, we got some beach waves courtesy of blow.

Which, I just learned was the original blow-dry bar.

We also splurged for some eyelash extensions.  I am SERIOUSLY in love.   No mascara, no eyeliner.
