An exciting few days lie ahead of us… Today I’m flying to Paris, where I will spend the day before I fly to Rome and attend the Valentino #MirabiliaRomae Haute Couture show on July 9th. As you can imagine, I’m over the moon, and I can’t wait to share this whole adventure with you. But before I can actually get on that plane, I need to pack…
My days usually start an hour before my alarm rings, when I’m dreaming about the million things I have to do that day. It does stress me out every now and then, but over the past four years I’ve tried to prioritize my work and that helps. Obviously my day evolves a lot around fashion and beauty, since that’s “what I do”, but there’s always time for coffee, buying flowers, and shooting for my blog…
Last week I attended the MoMa Party in the Garden event with Nexxus New York Salon Care. Before attending the event, I visited the Nexxus New York Salon in Tribeca for a styling session. Having my hair styled is one of those things that always feel like such a treat! A good wash, the perfect blow-dry, and then leaving with perfectly styled hair is a great beginning to a much anticipated evening.
I’m taking the business of hair, and my own hair, very seriously as of late. Not that I didn’t before, but by “seriously” I mean that I’m really looking into products that work for my hair. Products that are best for my kind of hair, and therefore create a desired “do”. Before I was just buying whatever shampoo or conditioner looked good on the pharmacy shelf. I tried them, usually I had no complains, so I kept using them. However, now that I’ve learned more about hair, and my own hair in particular, I have a better understanding of the products I should be using.
Spring is finally here, which means I can open up my windows on a Saturday morning to listen to the birds. I can smell the trees and the flowers and leave the house without a coat on. And most importantly, I can clean out my wardrobe by getting rid of all the thick knits I needed so desperately this winter. Spring makes me want to start fresh, which for me translates to indulging in all sorts of beauty treats, including touching up my roots and getting a hair cut; a good pedicure; and a full-body scrub to get rid of dry, winter skin. Let’s start with my hair, though, as this is my most noticeable trait. I’ll take you on a personal hair-history tour and also share the plans I have in store …
