evening with elnett

Last night, I had a few friends over to join me in an Evening with Elnett.

Elnett Satin Hairspray is a fabulous and uber-luxurious line of hairsprays from L’Oréal that has been around for almost 40 years, but is just now available in retail outlets across the US. While it is a favorite of models, celebs and top stylists around the world, it is perfect for busy moms as well!
Elnett offers long lasting hold that disappears at the touch of a brush, leaving hair clean and shiny with a satin touch. Hair stylists love it for fashion shows and photo shoots where models are wearing multiple hair styles. Which is just perfect for us busy moms!  I can use Elnett in the morning, throw my hair up on a trip to the gym and then brush it out later for date night – so much nicer than layering on products all day that leave my hair dull and crunchy.

We had a fabulous fall spread:

evening with elnett

yummy!!

We had a hair station set up with flat irons, curling irons, hair do-dads and some Elnett products: Strong Hold, Extra Strong Hold and Extra Strong Hold with UV Filter. Yes, you read that right. Hairspray with UV filter to protect color treated hair! Amazing!! You can protect your color by using a product you’re probably using anyway.

We all tried out the hairsprays and had passionate, in-depth conversations about hair that only a group of girlfriends can have.

My personal favorite stylist, Gracie, was on hand to style my hair. Isn’t it cute?

We also got to view some fantastic tutorials by Johnny Lavoy, a consulting hair expert for L’Oréal. My favorite was his tutorial on defined waves – so gorgeous and it looks so easy! My daughter saw it and squealed “Its Taylor Swift’s hair!! I WANT IT!” I can’t wait to try it on her!

Thanks so much to L’Oréal and Mom Central for sponsoring this event and introducing us to Elnett!! To keep up with all the latest from L’Oréal, you can follow them on facebook and twitter. And check out my review of Elnett on my fashion blog, All Things Chic!

disclosure: I was compensated for refreshments and supplies for hosting this event, as well as receiving compensation for my time. as always, all opinions are my own.

fall trends: bold gold

Another hot trend for fall is GOLD! I own so little gold jewelry – I’m determined to add more to my jewelry stash! I mean, its my duty to my fashion blog, right? To buy jewelry?? (Go with it.) Lets find some gorgeous gold pieces to add to our fall wardrobes…

One piece that I’ve been drooling over is the Chantilly Lace Chandelier Earrings in the new fall Stella & Dot Collection. How gorgeous are these?

gorgeous. delicate, but bold.

And the matching cuff is TO DIE FOR! I saw one just like this by Aurelie Bidermann for over $1300.
I’m more drawn to a chunky gold bracelet – kind of like this one.
I bought these earrings recently and I’ve worn them constantly.
This Lace Paillettes Neckalce by Anthropologie is so sweet – and under $40!
Oh my. My my my. I love the Shepherd Moon Necklace!!

How about you? Are you into gold this season?

fall fashion alert: flares are back

One of fall’s hottest denim look is the flare jean.

I am very excited about this.

If jeggings and skinny jeans are not your thing, rejoice! Flares are so flattering on just about anyone and make your legs look slimmer while balancing out curves. But you don’t have to worry about looking like one of Charlie’s Angels. (Not that looking like one of Charlie’s Angels would be bad… They’re hot!) There are some more subtle flares that you can feel comfortable pulling off even if you don’t have a boho look.

The Rachel Bellbottom by 7 for all Mankind is DIVINE. Perfect. Gorgeous. And they’re only on Piperlime. Guess what is on my wishlist for fall now?

Although Joe’s Jeans Visionaire Flare Jeans are fabulous. Perfect for casual everyday wear.

I love the look of the Skinny Mini Flare Jean from Old Navy. Although I’m not sure they’ll look good on someone over 25… they’re pretty low cut.

This Trouser Jean from Gap is amazing! LOVE that cut!

What do you think? Will you wear the flare?

fashion friday: bathing suits when you’re tiny on top

cups that are not filled out? not flattering

I recently had a friend beg me to do a post on bathing suits for small chested women. I’m one too, so I understand the challenges. But we should be thankful – we can actually pull off a lot of styles that our busty friends can’t. There are some great tricks to making the most [...]

this is a sign

le sigh

I’ve fallen in love. With a shoe. (Run with me here.) Meet the object of my desire: I’ve admired the Stuart Weitzman “Alex” Espadrille Sandal ever since I saw Jennifer Aniston wearing them practically all last summer. They seem like those shoes you would wear constantly because they go with absolutely everything. But alas. They [...]

fashion friday: fashion resolutions

I’d sure love to have a new look for the new year. But for most of us, a new wardrobe, a personal stylist and a $500 haircut are not at our disposal to update our looks. So let’s look at some practical ways for us to update our looks for the new year: Underthings Sometimes, [...]
