Simple Last Minute Little Up Do

Returning home was more like a two day event, especially where my hair was concerned. We had a full day, night, and morning ahead of us you see- early morning attending touristy attractions and tours (much wind and non hair friendly weather included), followed by dinner and drinks, more windy attractions, and then the airport for the midnight flight.

It would be about seven in the morning or so when we returned home- so that calls for a lot of time for a style to hold through. I began with my hair down, but as the humidity increased so did my hair.

And so I needed my hair secure and out of the way, but still cute of course. I need something to keep me up and ready to go; and glamorous hair always does just the trick.

I didn’t want anything fussy or that would easily loosen, so I sectioned my hair into three parts and twisted them tightly finishing them off with some pins. It did just the thing for me and helped keep me alert since the style is quite light compared to my otherwise heavy hair.

It is neat and clean from the front which I think is also quite nice. No fuss and yet still very elegant and pretty. It only took a moment too which is great- easy and quick and then bam ready to go!

Yellow Frilly Fashion Look

I love the delightful look and feel of a soft yellow- it is such a cheerful color and I do love to wear it. Add a little delicate texture and it is even greater.

I felt like being girlie and playful with a bit of cheer, and yellow always performs so well- so I matched up this fun frilly scarf with a simple yellow skirt of the same shade.

It is a subtle match but it does so much that way- for such a soft color it makes a bold and loud statement. It is impossible to not smile wearing it as well, which makes me love it even more.

The color itself is a very spring look, but when combined with the black I think it can pull of the winter look just fine- you are seeing more pastels come out as it is. I say if you love it and you are feeling it- then wear it. That is what counts after all.

A Bow With A Bow To Match

Buy the accessory and the dress will appear- at least that is what happened in this case! I purchased these cute bow earrings not all that long ago, and sure enough this dress finds me- what a perfect match, I love it and couldn’t help myself.

The earrings alone were quite fun, but this darling dress paired up with them I find to be simply adorable. It is hard not to feel that way when you have that many bows on you.

It is something slightly different, and not too much. I think it comes together nicely without being overwhelming. Any more bows and it would most likely cross that line- but I am good with where I am here.

The dress on its own is very pretty and comfortable as well- I love such a combination.

It is slightly fitted at the top and then flows down gently and slightly loose- which moves nicely when you walk.

The pattern is quite simple, and very pretty with large pearl buttons, some white lace down the center, and then the two black bows at the beginning of the straps. Absolutely darling.

A Delicate And Fashionably Cute Ring

I love cute little finds like this! I spent much of the day shopping with my friend visiting from out of town, and after collecting many shopping bags I came across this ring.

I had actually already checked out when it caught my eye- how darling of a ring is this? I love it, it looks so delicate and is simply adorable.

I love subtle details and anything unique, so I am looking forward to incorporating this little treasure into my fashion.

How pretty would this look holding a cocktail, mmmm- going to have to see it for myself!

Ciao!

One Of My Favorite Glamorous Dinners

So last night my fiance and I enjoyed a wonderful evening in celebration of a recent business endeavor. It is something we both wanted to accomplish and throughout the year finally made it true.

We decided, why not celebrate it in our favorite glamorous style- a meal that stands out like no other and is simply a celebration on its own.

And so we did- we opened our chilled bottle of Veuve Clicquot Rose and prepared a couple of hot dogs- a dinner of absolute style and delight.

Marlene Dietrich had it right when she said her favorite meal was hot dogs and champagne- they go quite lovely together- really! You have to try it, it is simply delicious and all around too fun. How can you not enjoy yourself? That is what it is all about anyway, isn’t it. You may laugh but it is absolutely wonderful.

We enjoyed ourselves and will remember the occasion so much more for it. It makes it all the more unique and special. I think we are both anxious to do it again soon. I suppose that means we better start creating more reasons to celebrate. I think I can handle that

Here’s to a luxurious and glamorous dinner of Hot Dogs and Champagne- after all, in the words of Coco Chanel:

“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it s not luxury.”

Much love and luxury,

Glamorous Waves And Curls

I have a lot of hair, as I have said many times before. I like to try all sorts of different techniques from my usual sleek straight look, playful to elegant updo styles, natural slight waves, to all out wild curls.

The all out giant waves and curls is nice from time to time- but definitely has its place and is used sparingly (as it can often be out of control).

On a more usual basis I like have my hair fall into curls at the end- smooth from the top and large waves at the bottom. Its a nice touch and tends to make the hair bounce as you walk. Just kind of makes you feel happy, too- it is a nice feeling when your hair moves just right.

I find it works best in my favor especially when the weather is wanting a battle- the mixture of smooth and curly waves isn’t destroyed by a drizzle or soak of humidity as much as the straight and smooth or all around curly styles are.

So, ha weather, take a look at this.

I like to play with the volume, too. Like with clothes, hair can compliment the style, flow, and movement of your wardrobe. It is extra nice when it all comes together so lovely.

Yes, I Know My Sunglasses Are Big, Thank You

Why, yes… I did know my sunglasses are bigger than my head- thank you! Some people are such comedians. I actually do get asked that from time to time- if I am aware of the size of my sunglasses to the ratio of my head. And I do.

I love Oliver Peoples, of all my sunglasses I cannot help but keep coming back to these. Such a classic style with a modern twist- the thing I look for most in fashion. This pair in particular is the ‘Heroine’ from Oliver Peoples-l o v e them!

I will be wearing these for quite some time as well. Less a trend and more a classic. It is funny how things blow up overnight. I’ll never forget shopping in Cannes for the biggest watch I could find- and covered in crystals at that. Something I concocted in my mind and had to have. It was impossible to find, and once I discovered it I was ever so pleased with it. Then- some time after returning to the states- it was everywhere and all that *could* be found. Made it a bit less desirable and more of a trend. I still had my fun with it though. The sunglasses blew up quite the same way.

Oh well, more options and designs, no? I am always great with that. It is all in how you wear it anyway. This year I am feeling more traditional classic designs in bold new colors. Whether or not its the next thing to blow up, I will be looking for it. More to come.

Glamorous New Looking Dress Sleeves

I love it when a simple dress has just one distinct creative uniqueness that redefines the whole look. That is exactly what this dress is.

The sleeves are sequined and slightly puffed- then tighter around the arm- except unlike traditional puffed sleeves this one has revealing cut outs that are incredibly glamorous.

Everything else about the dress is subtle and simple- complimenting the sleeve design perfectly. It has the popping wow factor while flawlessly transitioning into sophistication.

I found it in this little Japanese Boutique called “Nonno” where the offer only two or three of each dress at the most. All clothing items are uniquely one of a kind- such a treasure, so long as you are there before it is gone. I’ll show you more unbelievably fun designs from them soon, too.

As for this particular dress- it has inspired me to find more of the same. Maybe not all in dress formats- how cute would a puffed open sleeve be on a white cashmere top (maybe some silver or gold jewel embelishment) and with khaki shorts?

Or any other style of garment for that matter. I want to see more of it. This is a trend I can really enjoy.
