strike a pose {kate winslet vogue u.k. 2011}

I'm down with a little ankle injury, surely a reminder that my high heels and repetitive cardio moves need a break

I am ready to hop back up as soon as possible after seeing the lovely Kate Winslet striking a blonder pose here in this editorial

there are some women who just get better with age..like Kate and look at J.Lo on idol stunning!

I am so in love with a little sexy back like this. 

this will surely be my new spring fling

and tidied up buns and knots and smoother hair for  lovely spring evenings ahead

Have a lovely beginning of Spring weekend, More Spring inspiration with braids here.

kate bosworth {jewelry collection}

you know those moments when you grace the page in a magazine and you just go ahhh..?

that's how I felt when I browsed through this recent InStyle magazine, and caught site of the lovely Kate Bosworth

this is actually an editorial for her Spring jewelry collection for Jewelmint

 but I just got caught up in the hair, Perhaps because I was working on some very cool blondes in the salon today

Love this bracelet, you can click here for more of the collection. My favorite rocking blonde hair look here

pop

loving blonder hues in hair and colors that pop

didn't your mother tell you never open bottles with your teeth

a great gift idea, to personalize a bottle of pop on any special occasion

for fall I wouldn't mind some big coke bottle looking lenses like this, how about you?

Reflecting back on this week in the salon one of my greatest inspiration came from colors that pop. Adding more shine to my blondes with an aftercare that seals in the shine. Just because it's fall doesn't mean you can't go brighter. I tend to encourage it as the season is in the midst of changing here in L.A. Why not brighten up your day with a little more color that pops, and in small doses start with some fun fall, hues for nails.

rainbow of color

what a great visual to introduce this Swatch & Learn class

so futuristic and fun

Inspiration for stylists using real hair swatches to dip into color a great way to explore that vibrant red or special blonde you wanted to try

My favorite of the Blonde Pro Series, Blonde Impression, a color blending of  sophisticated blonde using new color techniques

Extra Cool for that Blonde Impact

Blonde Infusion I can think of a few long haired clients I would like to use this beautiful wheat colored blonde on.

I hope you forgive me for the lack of posts, I  have been busy preparing for this class sharing the latest trends, as well as a sneak peak at some new Wella  blonde formulations to come. Speaking of Blondes, Have you seen Cate Blanchett on the Cover of W? I think her hair is styled divine by one of my favs, Odile Gilbert More about her here

morning after hair

Love the look of care free wound up hair like this. A very 1960's style sexy, eyeliner, can be very  au courant try using brown instead of black. A pale, pouty, lip makes the look flawless. One of my favorite's Belle de Jour a pale, peachy, pink  from Jemma Kid What's in your make up bag?
