Summer Hair SOS

Friday, June 27th, 2008

 

In the summer time, we’re out and about much more. With the slough of outdoor festivities, pool lounging and beach going, it’s important to remember that our hair might need some additional lovin’. I’ve asked two of Eliza’s favorite hair gurus and celebrity stylists Jeremy Clark and Ryan Randall to recommend some of their favorite hair-care products to keep summertime hair protected and gorgeous. 

Jeremy’s Recommendations:
Rene Furterer Anti-Dehydrating Vegetal Spritz: “a very light styling spray that will protect the hair from heat, and keep the style in place lightly, and still allowing movement.” 

Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo:”Hold the can about 15 inches away from the head and spray. This gives a style body, and absorbs any latent moisture… keeps a style looking good all day.” 

Ryan’s Recommendations:
Paul Mitchell Color Protect Locking Spray: “A must for those with colored hair. Packed with sunscreen, it’s sure to lock in and extend the life of your color.” 

TIGI Catwalk Camera Ready Shiner and Defrizzer: ‚ÄúA great pick me up for dull and dry hair‚Ķ A little goes a long way, so use sparingly, and enjoy the shine. Don’t you deserve silky, shiny, smells-so-good hair?! And with an amazing watermelon fragrance…it’s perfect for summer!!‚Äù¬†

All dressed up

Friday, June 13th, 2008

The summer is always filled with weddings and parties. It can be a challenging time to find a non-spaghetti strapped or strapless number. Here are two looks that are classy and sassy. Pair a dress with one of Vintage Hem’s great slips. And this red dress is available at beautifullymodest.com

Wedding class

Friday, June 13th, 2008

Looking for a modest wedding dress can get frustrating. A lot of them have the same exact cut and not many creative, fashionable options. There are more than enough strapless gowns out there but altering them to have more coverage can be a disaster. Here is a cool dress from Edenbridals.com. The flutter sleeve/cape on this wedding gown is very flattering and makes your look unique.

Fashion staple: Nautical

No matter how close or far you will be from the ocean this summer –¬†or a boat for that matter –¬†you can still capture that crisp clean nautical look. The great thing about sail-inspired pieces is they are naturally classic and bold. You can look very pulled together while still feeling casual and comfortable. The key is to keep things simple: prominent navy or white, highlights of sea stripes, with gold or red accessories. Stay away from anything busy or which¬†looks like a costume. Here are some sea-worthy pieces.
