My new favorite nail polish color...  As my friend pointed out to me, it's "Tiffany blue".  This is the perfect, spring color for fingernails and toes!  To take it to the next level in current trends, paint one nail on each hand metallic gold.

Hair Empire

It seems I was the only one not watching Boardwalk Empire.  I had seen images of the hair-even featured a man's haircut in one of my posts which my brother now sports.  I decided to join the rest of the country and watch...  I am now caught up on the first season, now I am hooked and am ready to enjoy season 2.

I struggle to follow the episodes at times because I'm so distracted by the beautiful hair and hats.  I'm taking it all in!

W.E.

I can't help it, I'm a huge fan of the '80's Madonna.  I copied her hair, her jewelry, her shoes, her clothes.  I haven't followed her much since the '80's, but...

Today's Madonna is still in the industry of entertainment.  She's performing at the Super Bowl, and she is releasing the movie W.E.  (Wallis Edward) 

I have seen a documentary, and I've read one of several books written on the subject of Edward, Duke of Windsor and Wallis, Duchess of Windsor.  Such a dramatic, controversial story...  

I will definitely go to this movie.  I can't wait to see the fabulous clothes and hair.  Today's dressed styles are borrowing many looks of that day...  I can't wait to be inspired!

Downton Abbey

After many awards and so much press I've decided to commit to watching Downton Abbey.  Season 1 has come and gone and Season 2  has begun.  I have yet to see an episode but I think I must be missing out!  

Lots of beautiful hair.  All up of course because in the Victorian age hair down would have been too risque...  

I can't wait to lose myself in yet another television show!

Head of the Class

I had an amazing class at work last week.  We worked with different up do techniques.  My model has very long hair down to the middle of her back.  In these first photos I created a temporary "bob".  When you don't want a haircut but would love to wear your hair this way for a day!  The last photo I created by sewing the hair in place, no pins!!!  She said it felt a lot more secure, she could shake her hair and it stayed in place perfectly.  I will definitely use this technique again, although tricky getting the string unstrung...

Awards Season

I love awards season, and it's not over yet!  This was my favorite hair at the Screen Actors Guild awards.
