Spring Inspired Updo

Isn't the weather beautiful?! The sun is shinning, flowers are blooming, and the birds are singing my favorite song! :-) I wanted to share with you a simple yet classy updo I did on myself. Fresh flowers in any hairstyle can glam up any look. Use a hair pin to keep them in place. Pin them on your hair right before you leave, that way they last longer through the night.

Hair accessories are a great way to glam up any hairstyle. Many people have told me they just don't know how to incorporate them in their hair. So I found this cute video from Ruche that shows how to style your hair using different hair accessories.

Adele Inspired Chignon with a Light Smokey Eye

Nothing makes me feel more glamorous than tear drop earring and a vintage chignon paired with sparkly hair accessories. Some say it's old fashion... but what can I say?! Come to think of it, I shall quote Miss Zooey Dechanel:

"I love old music, old movies, screwball comedies, 

vintage clothes and basically I’m an old-fashioned gal." 

Exotic Smokey Eyes & Braided Bun

New Addition to the Blog: Hairstyles

I'm super excited about this post. As many of you may know, I have been tapping into the field of hairstyling. I really enjoy creating fun looks on myself and even more on others. Jaday and I have been working on hairstyling for photo shoots and weddings for over a year now. So we have decided to add a new page to the blog where you will find a collection of our work. The page is divided into three sections:

Avant Garde Photo-shoot: Femininity VS Masculinity

The past two years I have been assisting Jaday in photo-shoots working with creative photographers and stylists. I enjoy preparing for the shoots and seeing their mood boards turn into reality right before my eyes. So last winter break I decided to do another photo-shoot. This shoot is completely different compared to my previous one: Frilly, Dreamy, Vintage, and Sweet

This is my favorite picture from the shoot.

Yes this is a DRAMATIC look. I enjoy applying makeup as a form of expression rather than just the beauty aspect of it. It's liberating to grab a brush and know you have no restrictions, limitations, or boundaries....

1960s Inspired Photo-shoot: Behind the Scenes Video

Here is the behind the scenes video of the photo-shoot we did this weekend at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Fl. As always we had a blast working again with Diana Santisteban. She never fails to amaze us with her creativity and beautiful shots. We also had the pleasure working with Tyler Ocampo a beautiful model from Wilhelmina Models and fabulous Kym Martin who was the stylist of this shoot! We will be posting the pictures soon in our Print Portfolio.

Celebrity Inspired Romantic Updo

I can officially say I'm obsessed with updos! I've been styling my hair up all week adding ribbon, fresh flowers, and bedazzled clips. They are so much fun and they make me feel very pretty. For the ladies that do not like having their hair all to the back, side updos are perfect for you. Side hairstyles have been popular amongst many famous stars like Lauren Conrad, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, and Carrie Under just to mention a few.

These styles inspired me to create Lisay's Romantic Updo. This is part 2 of Lisay's makeover. She normally wears her hair down so I created this side romantic updo for her special event. 

Beauty Makeup for Teens

Hi Girls!

Here is my friend Lisay, she was invited to an anniversary party and wanted to look extra special for the event. Lisay is only sixteen years old and normally doesn't wear a lot of makeup. So I decided to use browns, golds, and a hint of blue to add a bit spunk to this look.
