Fashion Pulse Flash

by

Since the past two weeks have had so much going on, it’s been difficult for me to keep up with it all, and I’ve been the one experiencing it! Not that I’m complaining though, because I’ve truly had some incredible experiences. I thought I’d share some of my most memorable experiences from fashion week and even a bit afterward, that run the gamut from the shows to the exclusive access to lounges and designers. Come along with me on this special, post-New York Fashion Week flash edition!

Dove NutriumMoisture body washesDove encouraged an overnight stay at the ultra-hip and luxurious The Quin Hotel on the eve of fashion week so that I could wake up and shower with one of their new body washes; how cool is that? Of the options in my hotel room, I selected the new Dove Sensitive Skin Nourishing Body Wash with NutriumMoisture, which you may have heard about as part of the “One Shower Challenge” Dove was recently advertising. As the new body washes are both mild and hydrating, the brand promises that your skin will feel softer and smoother after only one shower! My skin certainly felt awesome, but I’m of course biased; I love everything Dove does! The new Dove body washes with NutriumMoisture retail for $4.49-$6.99, depending on the size and kind, at food, drug, and mass retailers beginning this month.

TRESEmme hair fashion week #TRESmbfwIt’s cool enough that I get to pop backstage with TRESemmé at New York Fashion Week so that I can see their lead stylists work their magic, but I also got to have brunch with the team, with stylist Jeanie Syfu breaking down some of the looks created during the week, emphasizing some of the trends and how to make them work for you (braids, mixed textures), alongside what products to use. This is one of my favorite way to cap off fashion week! I also had the talented stylists at the TRESemmé  lounge dry style my hair twice, which was a thrill each time, as I barely had time to wash my hair each day, let alone create a ‘do.

NARS 20th anniversary partyNARS’ 20th Anniversary Party was such a star-studdd affair that every time I would start to shimmy my way toward the exit, another fabulous celebrity would enter, delaying my departure even further! Co-hosted by the man of the hour, Francois Nars, alongside Linda Evangelista and Simon Doonan,  the party not only kicked off fashion week properly but also celebrated an enduring brand that is beloved around the world and never ceases to amaze with its collaborations and formulations. Lately, I’ve been rotating between Lana and Grace from the new Audacious Lipstick Collection, with the 3.1 Phillip Lim for NARS nail polish in Gold Viper on my claws.

I indulged in some nail art, lip crayons, and a massage in between my running around, and bumped into a few friends while there!

NYFW Spring 2015 Beauty Report: What You Need to Know About Hair, Nails, & Makeup

TRESemme looks NYFW #TRESMBFW

[Three looks created by TRESemmé this season, from Narciso Rodriguez and two braided looks from Marissa Webb.]

The best news about beauty for spring/summer 2015 is that it is going to be so easy, so natural, so effortless for you to get these looks that proved to be popular on the runway. While the avant garde stuff is fun to witness and write about, when push comes to shove, approachable beauty reigns supreme. See below for a breakdown of the major trends, followed by where they were seen, who created them, and even a how-to every now and then! TRESemme braids

Hair:

You know how to pull your hair back into a ponytail, right? Then you’re all set for hair for spring 2015! There were of course a bunch of ponytail varieties from the sleek and straightforward to the more intricate, but its certainly an important look of the season.

Super duper slick and dry textures are a modern, edgy mashup that also was pretty big on the runways. Go wet and greasy in the front, and keep the ends dry and textures with the help of a salt spray or dry shampoo. This look resulted in the antithesis of volume, in which the styles stayed close to the head.

Grown-Up Braids are also a must for 2015; start practicing now, or find a good braiding bar in your area since this finished look was paired with a myriad of different silhouettes. Give them some piecy-ness and rough up a bit to make them more sophisticated.

The chignon isn’t exactly a trend, as it’s a staple of sophisticated hair dressing, but it certainly retained its presence for spring 2015! Slung low, high, and everywhere in between, you really can’t go wrong with this style (and my fool-proof way of making one is with the help of a Goody spin pin!)

What FPD Wore: Fall 2014 Fashion Week, Day 5

jrd day 5

We’re in the home stretch now, and after five shows today, I’m dreaming of all of the new looks I just saw, and of course, some warmer weather too! This is the coldest February fashion week that I can remember experiencing…and I’ve been at this since 2003!  I’m really fascinated with the pumped up volume found in largely tops and coats that I’ve been seeing this week, which look just so comfy and cozy; perfectly apt for this cold spell!

I can’t wait to experiment with the new shape myself, but in the meanwhile, my outfit of Day 5 is featured! Here’s how I wore this dress last season;some tweaks, but also, some things always resonate — I guess you can call it my style sensibility — with keeping the other apparel colors to a minimalist black, while complimenting the neon with some great pieces of accent jewelry.  I can’t forget to mention that my hair was styled by Tyler at the TRESemmè lounge; he did an incredible job creating volume and movement in my hair; luckily, I already own a few of the products used and recommended,  such as 24 Hour Body Mousse and Platinum Strength Heat Protection Spray; now I just need to excel at using a curling iron!
