Beautiful

It is not often I see an up do which is fresh and inspiring. I would remove the bobbys, but that aside I think this is stunning...

Nautical

I LOVE a nautical look in the spring!  Navy blue and white make me want to jump on a sailboat if only for a photo op.  I recently found this great necklace-it is a chunky, silky rope that would look great with a white t-shirt and jeans or a pretty sundress.  Happy sailing!

Mellow Yellow

"There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transfer a yellow spot into the sun". Pablo Picasso

I had not had the courage to try yellow polish. It is everywhere this spring, I just didn't think it would work for me. I gave in to the temptation, and my yellow nails have gotten so many compliments! From a high school boy waiting tables to a grandmother at a park. I have been pondering why I don't hear comments on some of my favorite colors, yet yellow is drawing such attention. The answer I would assume is the same reason I took the leap and painted my nails in the first place. Yellow makes people happy! I say try it and see how many people you make smile...

 

The Lob

I have had a fascination with the Lob this year.  (Long Bob)  I can't explain why I love it, or why I think it is such a flattering look.  It does draw attention to the neck and it is also a versatile style, but I just like it!

 

Butter

Butter

I fell in love with Butter London nail polish a handful of years ago.  They always release colors that are on trend, and I love that they call it lacquer and not polish.  How British! They were the first company to sell non-toxic nail "lacquer" in the States.  Butter just came out with a lip gloss called Lippy.  They come in colors that match the nail lacquers, I can't wait to try them out...

Transition

One of my friends at work has gone through hair transition.  She is a natural medium blonde.  When I started working with her she had just modeled for a hair show.  They had colored her hair black, it looked great but she was ready to go back blonde recently.  Another stylist did what she could but her color resulted in a reddish color. 

Before

She then asked me to do her hair to reach her goal color.  I did some color correction, added highlights and this is the result...

After

And yes, she should really be smiling in the after picture!

Mad Men imdb

My favorite Mad Men hair. Lots of bouncy cirls, lots of teasing. The makeup is perfect. Can't wait for the next episode!
