WHAT I WORE

{Style Wax Poetic + Vered Salon + Hairdreams}

Hey Everyone! I am so excited to finally share with you all my new look, thanks to the fabulous Vered Salon and Hairdreams! A couple weeks ago I visited Vered Valensi, from Vered Salon, to create a new look with extensions. Vered Salon is the leading salon in Hollywood for Hair Extensions. Her background is extensive, working with photographers such as Annie Liebowitz, Marcus Klinko, Willy Camden, and has worked on shows such as MTV’s “Becoming” and “The Simple Life,” with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, creating their hair extensions and color.

She mentioned you’d be surprised just how many women have hair extensions these days, as most women are not born with managble, gorgeous hair. With the harsh sun of Los Angeles and after repeat dye processing, it’s not easy to grow our your hair and keep it looking healthy and strong. That’s where Hairdreams comes in. It’s one the top brands for hair extensions, using only the best quality hair. I truly love having long hair and the instant gratification is priceless. Watch below to see the before and after.

If you’re interested in hair extensions, here is what you should know about Hair Quikkies with Hairdreams:

- premium quality tape-in hair extensions by Hairdreams
- 100% real human hair
- it integrates seamlessly and invisibly into hair
- in-salon professional application service
- for more information log onto www.hairdreamsusa.com

For further information about Vered Salon or to make an appointment, visit www.veredsalon.com.

In addition of being an expert in her field, Vered Valensi is also a pleasure to be around, with such a beautiful, gracious personality. For me, finding a stylist that you feel comfortable around, not pressured, and can have a great time is key. We had such a fun time and learned many new techniques from her.

If you have any interest in extensions, I highly recommend them. It’s an easy way to enhance your look. What do you think of my new look? I would love to hear your feedback.

{1 Pair of Jeans, 4 Ways To Wear Them}



Look ONE – The Elegant One

A white pair of edgy jeans can transition seamlessly into an elegant look with a little gold and a little shimmer.  A fitting sweater keeps it classic and a sweet, elegant heel will add a softer appearance.  Add a little bling with a classic cocktail ring and a good bracelet and you’ll be good for brunch in Beverly Hills.

Look TWO –  Casual Cool

Go casual with striped sweater and a pair of wedged boots. I love the combination of blue, brown and white. Pair it with a dainty necklace for an everyday fall look.

Look THREE – Sophisticated and Sexy

Edgy, sexy and fashionable is the way you’ll be described when wearing this look. I love the combination of white, black and gold – it’s simple and sophisticated. The blazer adds class to the outfit and a bootie with a skinny heel add a sexy feel. This is a great dinner outfit in any city and is also sexy enough to carry on the night for an evening of dancing.

Look FOUR – Rocker Cool

A white jean can be casual when paired with a moto cross body  jacket and a grey turban. A flat boot will keep you comfortable all day yet looking stylish enough to go straight to dinner.  Day time wear never looked so cool.

{Hot, White, Jeans!}

There are a few things that recently I knew I must have in my closet, one of them being white jeans. I did a white jeans round up a few posts ago exemplifying all amazing street style caught during NYFW, many of them wearing white jeans. I found these at Bloomingdales for a steal from their signature line Aqua. They have a couple pairs left here.  Most white jeans are on discount now although I plan to wear them through winter. It’s a good time to buy.

Paired with a super soft citron top by Vince and my BCBG Generation Booties, I kept an overall light feel to this look. I look forward to wearing them with black booties too, maybe an electric blue top and a leather jacket. White jeans are a must! Just hope I can keep them clean.

What are you lusting over this fall?

{Every Girl Should Own White Jeans}

I FINALLY bought white jeans! I don’t know how I’ve lasted so long without them. They’re sexy, timeless, and definitely not just for summer anymore. They’re a staple often seen on the streets at NYFW.  Usually paired with black boots, they’re a great base to start a black and white ensemble, which always looks classy (bottom left image). A blazer creates a professional look yet fashionable, like seen on the French fashion editors in the top right photo.  White jeans easily go with citron and electric blue; two colors I currently obsessing over.

It’s sometimes hard to know what you really need in your closet, which I’ve spend a lot of time thinking about. White jeans are a great investment, as opposed to colored jeans, which will eventually be out of style. I’ll be posting some pictures soon of how I’m styling my new whities!

 

A skinny white jean is the way to go.

{Green & Gold}


Green has turned out to be one of Spring/Summer 2012′s hottest trends. Thankfully, I’ve finally incorporated it into my wardrobe and have recently discovered one of my favorite combinations – Green & Gold.  I’ve started to pack away those dark, drab colors from winter and now I can see what colors I’m really needing.  The key to brights is keeping it classy. Be sure of your choice when going  bold.  Cotton wrinkles and fades and will not give you the bold hue you desire.  Spend on a few key pieces to get you buy from Spring/Summer 2102 – Pink, Corals, Green, Gold, Yellow and a Neutral Colors.

Top – H&M // Shorts – H&M // Heels – BCBG //  Bracelet – Vintage // Sunnies – Rayban
