Remington’s Spring Hair Accessories are Fashionable and Fun!

In my Easter basket, I received a Remington floral headband which I  love.  It is comfortable and pretty!  A floral band with a simple  flower attached is a girly statement look. I match it with a simple, plain dress and floral, flat shoes. Sometimes I let the headband hold  all of my hair back for a clean look and sometimes I just let the  headband rest on my head with my everyday style for a boho look.  I  love that I can wear it all day and not get a headache like with other  headbands. It stays in place so I don’t have to take it out for gym  class.  I cannot wait for next Easter, I need more Remington Spring  Hair Trend Accessories to add to my Spring and Summer wardrobe. Remington Hair Accessories Collection is available at Target!

Hair Designer Kerry Warn used John Frieda Products to Create Signature lokks For The GREAT GATSBY

0-67

Los Angeles, CA, January, 2012Hair Designer Kerry Warn used John Freida products to create the signature looks for the cast and hundreds of extras for Baz Lurhmann’s highly anticipated big screen adaption of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby. The uniquely imaginative, Oscar nominated filmmaker (Moulin Rouge) will create his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before, in a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role.

Unknown-58

Working with Luhrmann, as well as Catherine Martin, the two-time Academy Award-winning production and costume designer (Moulin Rouge), Warn designed hairstyles for the film inspired by the looks of the Jazz Age but with a contemporary twist. “The ’20’s have been done so beautifully in so many films” says the hair designer, whose credits include such films as Nine, Australia, The Golden Compass and the forthcoming Grace of Monaco. “After discussions we decided to keep a modern twist, that we’d do our own interpretation of the ’20’s.”  This interpretation of Baz Luhrmann‘s was based in research and references from the period and direct descriptions from the novel but has incorporated a modern-day aesthetic.

Unknown-57

 

For the female cast, including Carey Mulligan, who stars as Daisy Buchanan, Warn updated the classic bob, which was the defining look of the era. Warn gave Mulligan’s fringe a softness, updating it from the maor familiar 1920’s Louise Brooks fringe. But for the party scene, Warn and his team of hairstylists were required to style up to 300 female extras. Many of whom had long hair which was then styled into finger waves, with the help of John Frieda Frizz-ease Curl Controller Corrective Styling Gel. “the girls could dance-and they were brilliant dancers-even do cartwheels, and their hair wasn’t going anywhere.”

 

One of the additional challenges Warn faced was desigining styless that would hold up i 3D. “With 3D you have to be careful about stray hairs”. What got him through the 3D experience? ” I was able to control the look with John Frieda Frizz Ease Moisture Barrier Hairspray. It was a really good standby!”

Uma Thurman Red Carpet Hairstyle

I Love all things celebrity. Especially their hairstyles 🙂

 

Silver screen siren, Uma Thurman, always looks impeccable on the red carpet. At last night’s annual Metropolitan Ball, she took a walk on the wild side for the punk theme, chaos to couture; and didn’t disappoint in a striking poison ivy green chartreuse Zac Posen gown that was simply stunning. As she crossed the red carpet her fashion was flawless, paired perfectly with a full, sleek, high pony tail, a classic up-do. She trusted her tresses to her long-time stylist, David Babaii. To emphasize Uma’s bone structure and voluminous long hair, David placed a ponytail at the crown of her head for a polished look. To ensure her hair was red carpet ready and fabulously full, David recommended she begin taking Viviscal, a supplement designed to nourish hair and promote growth.

 

David Babaii commented on Uma’s sleek strands, “What’s been amazing is that I notice the texture of Uma’s hair is different now, the elasticity is better, the density of each lock of hair is thicker and longer, it holds a style better and overall it has been amazing to work with since I recommended she start Viviscal. To be honest, it has made my life easier as her hair is longer, more luscious, and just amazing.”

The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift From L’Occitane

P-3.aspx

L’Occitane has become one of my favorite beauty lines, offing amazing skincare products as well as a multitude of the most captivating fragrances. There is a new fragrance, one that immediately appealed to me called Vanille & Narcisse which is one of the featured fragrances from La Collection de Grasse. The fragrance carries  a delicate warm scent of vanilla floral and it immediately reminded me of a fragrance my mother used to wear years ago, a fragrance that I loved and still do.

La Collection de Grasse, inspired by the City of Grasse in Provence is known by many to be the  fragrance capital of the world, a place where delicate ingredients are gathered and the most beautiful perfumes are created. This exquisite collection was created by the founder of L’Occitane, Olivier Baussan and perfumer Karine Dubreuil.

L’Occitane describes the Narcisse Vanille so well,” A warm, intoxicating fragrance, the Vanille & Narcisse Eau de Toilette is discreet at first, the scent of narcissus swells to reveal a bouquet of white flowers and spicy heart accords. Rich and radiant vanilla blends with the wilder, untamed notes of narcissus to give it its spirit. ”

I found Vanille Narcisse to be delicate and sweet. I sensed mostly vanilla and a sweet floral but the fragrance does have notes of  blackcurrant, bergamot, narcissus, gardenia, vanilla and tonka bean. It is truly an intoxicating fragrance, and if you enjoy vanilla scents you will adore this fragrance.

L’Occitane Vanille Narcisse is the perfect gift, the perfect fragrance for the perfect lady in your life this Mother’s Day.

The set includes: Vanille & Narcisse eau de toilette 2.5 fl.oz, Vanille & Narcisse body milk 5.9 fl.oz and Vanille & Narcisse shower gel 5.9 fl.oz  usa.loccitane.com
