OBESSION DU JOUR: Darker Roots and lighter ends

I always admired women's hair color, I truly believe a good color job goes a long way! Since I was 14 years old I started dying my hair (not the greatest thing for me) but I would change hair color like girls change lipstick colors. I went from blonde to black, then black to brown, and now my color is more subtle, just a few blonde hi-lights. I believe less is more. Recently, I noticed a new hair color style; darker roots with lighter ends. Ashlee Simpon- Wentz and Rachel Bilson were recently rocking this look! I think it looks so cool, I feel that anyone can pull this off, especially for blondes in the Fall since we always go a tad darker in the colder seasons. Check out the looks, maybe ask your colorists to put some lighter high-lights at the end of your hair and if you like it go for more! I know this will be my Fall look.

SOCIAL LIFE MAGAZINE - JULY 17TH EDITION

This summer I was asked to do fashion editorials for Social Life Magazine, one of the premier luxury publications for the Hamptons. I wanted to share my editorial piece with all my fellow fashionistas. My recent article was on Boho Glam. I always felt that summer always brings out my Bohemian side by wearing ethic inspired prints,  flowy dresses, and artsy jewelry.


BOHO GLAM

THE KEY TO BOHO GLAM IS MIXING PRINTS, try a plaid shirt with a tribal print skirt, be creative think outside the "fashion" trends
Middle picture: Matthew Williamson- Chiffon cut-out dress
FLOWY DRESSES WORN WITH ETHNIC JEWELRY IS A GREAT WAY TO SHOW YOUR BOHO GLAM SIDE
Right picture: Ralph Lauren- beaded dress over loose fitting jeans
THIS LOOK IS VERY GYPSY INSPIRED, find a flowy dress you love, can be floral, sequin, or solid and wear it over your jeans.

OBSESSION DU JOUR: RETRO GLAM

Drew Barrymore is always putting funky and outlandish outfits together. She loves to experiment with fashion, there is no boundaries with Drew. She was recently seen in the West Village rocking this floral sundress, lipstick red pumps, and retro sunglasses. I truly love her outfit, her sunglasses change the look of her ensemble by adding a Retro Glam look to her "stepford wives" dress. Step out of the box this summer and create a cool outfit on your own, you don't always have to follow the current trends- just get inspired by them.
