A Hint of Vintage for The Lovely Jennifer | Key West Destination Bride

 

I met Jennifer in her room at the charming Tropical Inn. There she was with her mom hanging out. We just had so much fun chatting and playing hair and makeup.

Her dark hair and blue eye contrasted just beautifully.  She reminded  me of a model in one of those French Vintage postcard. Love the final look.  :heart:

Jennifer’s wanted to wear her hair all the way up and somewhat off to the side. Instead of gathering it up all to one side,  I decided to create of a sweep instead giving it a vintage, very chic feel. The sweep was created with pin curls that were define using a light wax then rolled up and secured. To die for hair flowers finish up the look perfectly.

Jennifer, I immensely enjoyed meeting you and your Mom, our laughter and conversation were wonderful! Wishing you  and your husband joy and happiness for now and forever. XO

How was everyone Thanksgiving?

We spent ours at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. The beds alone make it worth the stay, and I usually only like my own bed. Then if you add the delish food, amazing pool, superb service and very nice fitness you end up with a fantastic experience. Truth is I could live at the Biltmore!

Here’s a few photos of my 2 little girls. I love them so much! :heart:

Jasmine loves fountains.

and anything that involves water.  :smile:

Cutie Serena.

Who loves the camera!

So much to be Thankful for. Have a great day.

Lan’s Hair & Makeup – Key West Bride

I had the pleasure to do Lan’s hair and makeup for her Key West wedding last week. I absolutely love doing makeup and hair on Asian brides.  Incredible skin, bone structure and gorgeous lips. Lan’s definitely fitted into that category.

Lan’s knew exactly the look she was going for and had brought in several photos for both hair and makeup.  I waved her hair slightly before gathering it down low.  Her stunning hairpiece works so well with the earrings.

Light purple and pink shimmer was Lan’s request, which looked great with her brown eyes and skin color. To enhance this look we filled her brow, added a false lash, made her skin look flawless, bronzed, added a soft peach mousse blush, and finished with a champagne shimmery lip.

Absolutely radiant!  Congratulations Lan!

Simply put it was a phenomenal past 3 days

I you LIKE us on Facebook you probably know I was attending over the weekend a “Bridal Editorial Styling and Cutting workshop”.  I came back last night completely inspired and so proud to be a part of this amazing industry.

I find continuing education not only fantastic because I get to surround myself with some ot the most talented, creative masters hairstylists in the world, but because I come back to you my clients, full of idea and new things to try.

On the last day we got to watch an editorial photoshoot.  These images barely give a glimpse at how exciting and lengthy the process truly is. I didn’t want to leave!

The process to create this hairpiece was beyond fascinating. I had such a great time.

Oh! And my rug latch hook came in so handy. :biggrin:

Have a fantastic Tuesday everyone!!!

I look forward to the year ahead of us and have high hopes for an even better year — Wishing you all a PHENOMENAL 2011. Cheers!
