InStyle Hair Issue/John Frieda Root Awakening Launch Party

I was very excited to attend the InStyle Hair issue launch party last night at the Hotel Gansevoort, which most certainly did not disappoint! I was greeted in the penthouse bar area immediately by a delicious mojito and several dresses from the exquisite fall 2009 Marchesa collection. These dresses were true beauties, and I would love to wear one of these to my next big event (hint hint, Marchesa!). The party was packed with celebs, including Ali Larter, Fabiola Beracasa in some fabulous, oversized eyeglasses, Shannen Doherty, and Olivia Palermo. I met up with fellow bloggers from shefinds and anewmode, while taking everything in, including devouring the delicious risotto balls (which I succinctly dropped the garnish on my blouse and shoe)! I’m looking forward to testing out the new John Frieda Root Awakening products that were given out, and already perused the new InStyle Hair issue. Although I feel I have a decent amount of expertise in beauty, I would classify myself as hair novice, and felt that the articles in this spring 2009 Hair issue were actually quite helpful to a “hair dummy” like me. The “Change your part, Change your look” and “Amazing Hair Color at Home” features will prove to be helpful. Enjoy the party pics, and keep your eyes peeled for the new InStyle Hair issue!
