Hairspiration Monday: Redken Color Rebel
Color Rebel c/o Redken
1. Remove cap and the plug applicator. Replace plug applicator with the sponge top.
2. Shake well and twist the cap in the direction of the arrows until the tip is saturated.
3. Apply Color Rebel to clean or day-after hair by gently pulling sections taut and applying in a smooth sweeping motion. Start with a light layer – you can always add more to build color intensity.
4. Brush in.
5. Simply let hair air dry or blowdry for faster results. Keep combing or brushing to a minimum after applying as this will break up the color pigments.
How to Remove?
Color Rebel washes out after two shampoos, but if you want to remove instantly, you can do so in two easy ways. Simply wash hair with Redken Hair Cleansing Cream or apply a drop of Redken Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine or All Soft Argan-6 Multicare Oil to the area where you would like to remove the color and rub the hair between your fingers until the color pigment dissolves.

Since summer made a repeat this weekend I took this as an opportunity to punk up my hair again and do my subtle hints of pink. I love that this is a fun easy temporary way to have fun with your hair. Especially since I'm not a teenager anymore and have to be mindful of my job. Maybe over a long weekend I'll try to do it with all of my tips pink.
You will be able to find Redken Color Rebel in-stores in October! Just in time for Halloween!! Would try Redken Color Rebel?

How to Mix Animal Prints like a Pro
How I Wore the Look:
Shirt: Zara | Skirt: 3.1 Philip Lim X Target | Boots: Zara | Bag: Coach | Sunglasses: Raybans
pictures taken by Brian Cavanaugh
I wore this mix-and-match print on the 2 Day of NYFW this season and got lots of compliments on it. Although, for fashion week I wore it with my nude tie up sandals and Alexander Wang bag, this time I threw on my black booties and my small Coach bag. Neutrals accessories are a must for any mix print look. This was a fun look to pull off for work and for fashion events afterwards...and obliviously again for just work with different shoes and bag.
Sometimes we take fashion to seriously and we just need to remember fashion should be fun! Experiment with your clothes. Sometimes we have stuff in our closet that never end up pairing up and sometimes when we do it ends up being magical.
Would you mix and match animal prints?

Tomorrow is the first full day of Autumn! I love Fall. Actually I like every season minus winter. I hate winter....But Fall has all those seasonal drinks and smells that match perfectly to the weather. I'm all about the chunky sweaters, crisp days, pumpkin spice EVERYTHING, pumpkin beer, hot apple cider, Oktoberfest, Halloween, Thanksgiving...I mostly love Fall because of the weather. You can wear a dress with a sweater but without tights, throw on your favorite pair of knee high boots and still be able to show off your whole look without hiding it under a heavy coat. The only down fall of Autumn is Winter is right around the corner. Winter is coming.....

What in the Devil is Normcore?
"The act of deconstructing fashion by purposely dressing blank or dull. What once started as a post-ironic anti-fashion, "purposely uncool" trend by hipsters in an attempt to pull away from the subculture fashion that were becoming commercialized and popular, norm core is quickly becoming a legitimate fashion trend. Characterized by boxy, unflattering jean jackets, oversized sweatshirts, gift shop baseball hats. Anything that looks like it might be featured in a Calvin Klein from 1998, or anything you'd wear around the house on laundry day."- Urban DictionaryAfter wearing heels at fashion week all week, on Tuesday of NYFW I couldn't bring myself to put on another pair of heels. So I wore a top from Clover Canyon that could have been a pass for a swimsuit top (or a sports bra I suppose), high waist jeans, a long blazer and sneakers, this what I had called the sporty/business look. Or as my friend Simone of Fashion Runs the World called it "normcore." What Vogue editor decided to name this whole trying not to care what you look like but caring look...."normcore?" I feel like my style of dressing has always been the whole "normcore" thing. T-shirt, jeans, and go type of look...or as I like to call it the "model off duty look." Whatever you call it it's a basic dressing, not caring what you look like, that makes up Normcore. Urban Dictionary is pretty accurate with its last statement "Anything that looks like it might be featured in a Calvin Klein from 1998, or anything you'd wear around the house on laundry day."
How I Do Normcore:
Sweater: Loft | Jeans: American Eagle | Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell | Bag: Coach

I love dressing down, especially on the weekends. There are very few times on the weekends you will find me in high heels. Normcore for me are sweaters paired with distressed jeans and simple slip on shoes. Of course rocking bed hair and minimal make-up (red lip is always my must).
Would you wear the "normcore" trend?

NYFW Spring 2015: Karolyn Pho's Vagabond Girl
all pictures taken by me. see more pictures here.
Karolyn Pho debuted her Spring 2015 collection down at Pier 59 in Chelsea Piers. Pho drew a bit of inspiration from her own life. Her girl this spring is a vagabond, "meanders through castles in the air, traipses between realities and crosses unknown borders. She is a nomad, a traveler, lost within her own self-perception" (press release). But unlike her character, Pho found herself couch surfing from friends apartments to her own families home. Her collection stayed true to who she is as a designer, masculine pieces with a touch of softness. Pho drew inspiration from one of my favorites places, Miami. Her color palette was inspired by the Med-Deco architecture of Miami.
Karolyn Pho's girl reminds me of the cool chick walking around Brooklyn's street. She looks effortless yet still put together. Her style would be the term "normcore." I love that her collection yet again is so relatable and wearable. There are pieces within this collection for every woman, for the funky gal who can rock a pale blue jumpsuit to the more sophisticated style who would rather wear a duster vest. I like that you can see that Pho has fun with her collections like adding oversized sequins to a top or having a simple leopard print tank but pairing it under a sheer top. My favorite pieces are are the duster vest as well as the pleated pants.
The first look down the runway had me going gaga. Look after look I was just so excited and interested in seeing more. This whole collection had this vacation/resort feel. I loved the abstract prints paired with the stripes. There was a sense of playfulness with in the collection with the use of prints, such as the abstract rope prints. It's hard to say what pieces were my favorites as I loved the jumpsuits and the abstract print gowns...but the long tulle skirt with the white shimmery top totally stole my heart...from the way it flowed and shimmered down the runway...SWOONS.
It's always important for a debut collection to make an impact and I really think this one made a statement. When asked which collections I've seen has been my favorite, this one is on my list.
What did you think of Luis Antonio's debut at New York Fashion Week?
