Two for Tuesday: Fashion Week in Rochester

I'm crazy-busy this week with Fashion Week of Rochester (where I will be working back stage at the runway shows) and Anti-Fashion Week (which I am attempting to find someone cover for me - if you are interested please let me know).

You can get the scoop on both Rochester Fashion Weeks (anti and otherwise) here:

Hope your week is off to a great start,

Made in America Monday: Bumble and Bumble

I have a confession:  Up until this spring I used cheap shampoo.  I'm not talking Pantene cheap, I'm talking VO5 cheap.  Granted, I've been known to drop $20 on hairspray, but that's another story for another day.  

It wasn't until my stylist explained that my greasy hair (that I always complain about) was being exacerbated by my crappy shampoo, that I decided to buck up for the good stuff.  Apparently the cheap stuff strips your hair and then your oil glands work overtime to get the moisture back.  Who knew?!

Since I tend to go big or go home, I didn't leave the salon with one high-end bottle of shampoo and conditioner;  I purchased two.  One set for when I wear my hair wavy, and another for the days I actually blow dry it straight (those are RARE).

On the days I just let my hair air dry (read:  every.  single.  day.) I use Bumble and Bumble Surf Foam Wash Shampoo, Surf Creme Rinse Conditioner, and Surf Spray.

Result = Beachy Waves

When I want a sleek, styled look, I use Bumble and Bumble Gentle Shampoo and Super Rich Conditioner.

Result:  Smooth Locks 

Last week, I was thrilled to discovered that my beloved (expensive) shampoo was made in the USA.  For some reason, it makes me feel better to be bucking up for the good stuff since it's American-made.  Plus, my bad hair days are fewer and farther between and the grease factor has dissipated immensely.  Win-Win.

Way to go Bumble and Bumble, keep up the good work.

What is your favorite made in the USA hair product?  I'd love to know!

Cobalt, Bordeaux, and Gray

In case you missed yesterday's post with our 2013 family photos, you can check them out here.

Today, I'm sharing a few pictures of moi that were taken for this little old bloggity blog.

The color scheme was cobalt, bordeaux, and gray.  The boys wore matching shirts and jeans, the hubs word a baseball style gray and bordeaux sweater, and I wore this (with these red polka dot pointy toe flats):

Jacket:  Forever 21
Tee:  Old Navy (last season)
Necklace:  Forever 21 (old)
Jeans:  BlueLab via Kouture
Shoes:  Target (old)
Hair:  Shear Ego Salon and Spa (Mandy)

Did you know I'm being re-branded?  Whole new, clean, easy-to-navigate site?  Thinking that calls for a new headshot... Which one is your favorite?

Have a great weekend!

I'll be styling for Fashion Week of Rochester, rocking the Brainery Bazaar, and testing out the spa services at Luxe.  It's going to be a jam packed few days, but can't help but feel lucky to be doing work that I truly love.
