light up my world {colorful inspiration at kate spade}

How fitting that I fell upon this colorful collection 

This pop of pink from Kate Spade just inspires me every time

More inspiration from this illustrative calendar for a year of colorful living

Beginning with january, break a resolution, done, I am coocoo for coco!

 Fall head over heels, my version this little love is in the hair inspiration, sent to my lovely clients and friends

 Nothing like April showers in January and February

send a postcard, I just love them, thinking of designing a new business card  like this 

I hope you had an accomplished weekend, I just finished organizing my home office, what did you do? More lovely inspiration here

fresh {eat pray love}

 

Read the book before you see the movie, and you will have a different idea of the characters chosen, Julia Roberts, Javier Bardem? That's ok I'll pay good money to go see a movie just to drool over Javier, lucky Penelope!  I am in heaven that my favorite Sugar line is now carrying these new scents inspired by the movie, Eat, Pray, Love. one of my all time favorite scents is Sugar, have been wearing it for years so much so I can't even smell it any more. When I want to be super indulgent I also use the Sugar Scrub and the cubes in my bath. 
Tonight on my way home I had something good to EAT: Baby's  pink truck what a welcome site coming home from work, so bright and pink at first I thought it was a cupcakes truck.

 PRAY: getting back into my daily yoga practice with a little help here keeps me conscious of my breathing and attention to things that matter and discard those that don't, like wasted energy.
LOVE: is always all around us, the opportunity to spread love with kind words, a soft touch, or even a smile. I'm a sucker for love and such a goon. I even got a little teary eyed watching the recent episode of Bethenny Getting Married. She is so happy and yes, more maternal being a mom. Her Cookie monster is something else and needs Cesar. Speaking of my peanut butter cookie monster,  Lana, my sweet dog is aging and along with that come some concerns that gave me a little scare this week, so much that I practically left the salon with my clients color still on just to snag an emergency appointment with her vet. (you know what I mean) Lana dog is much better and recovering quickly with lots of LOVE. More sweet love here

ah the dress, I wish I knew about this place when I was wedding dress shopping,

{via} above and below

Love this over the top sophisticated looks great on her lithe figure love the look, very tango meets flamenco, a la Carmen speaking of looking forward to it soon here with him

isn't it amazing that this little white dress can be just as special as a long white gown

I've got my make up bag packed and my bag of tricks too.

For another Wedding by the Sea tomorrow

since I will be working I usually like to keep it comfortable with some summer sandals perfect to show off my newly painted pink toes like this

I feel like the Queen bee of books, currently reading, Based Upon Availability, Oh My Dog, The Daughters, and This is Why You're Fat, (hate that title but oh so good with tips on nutrition to keep you focused).
What are you reading lately, care to share?

pink dreams {happy weekend}

It's Friday and feeling good after being pampered with a pedicure and a cocktail at Dashing Diva!

   I just love this bubble bum pink hair, this choppy bob is eye catching in color yet still feminine

  It's not an easy color to pull of but this model seems to do it well with her hint of sun kissed skin, and  a little shimmer around the eyes

Not ready for full on pink, how about subtle pastel strands like this?

could you wear it? 

More pink hair here and how to achieve it, with the palest of streaks starting with Blondor  and maybe a little special mix like the first few images with 0/65 (a fuschia pigment of pink). A softer pastel pink like the one above with the new Wella Special Blonde 12/96 Cendre´ violet (on palest blonde hair a soft pastel pink)

Happy dreamy weekend!

my pink dream shoes are here!

carey mulligan striking a pink pose

love the splash of pink and love those corsets!

I'm sure it's just lighting but I have to say the pink tufts of color on this busy as a little bee actress, Carey Mulligan do make quite a striking statement. I just adore her since her role in An Education, as seen here
more pink fun below

                        love the dog bone for a bow on her head lots of bling

love the nail polish looks like mint candy apple like my friend Alina is wearing here

inspiration lady gaga + pink + valentine's gift away

                    this image reminds me of lady gaga glasses and all reminiscent of last nights grammy's

                                    Did you love her performance with Elton or not?

                        I would have liked it better without the smoke, streaked, hair and face, and then came
                            Pink                                

                         Pink's cirque de soleil performance, while suspended in the air and singing

                          skin looking health and dewey and just a shimmer of glitter on the side of her face

                                                         left me speechless and in awe

                                 it's nice to be able to share things that inspire and look good in hair,

                                             and beauty, and skin care.

                                         Love a healthy, dewey, complexion with a soft, rosy, glow.
