Arianne Suggs August 31, 2015August 31, 2015Leave a Comment

We can credit brands like Saint Laurent, Gucci, and Miu Miu for reintroducing brown suede to the fashion girl’s vocabulary this year – tastemakers everywhere have announced that boho style shows no sign of disappearing any time soon. Among fringe and other boho trends, fashion bloggers have welcomed back brown suede in every item from miniskirts to jackets. Though brown suede might seem like an intimidating trend to pull off, the street style crowd has already forged the way with dozens of cute outfit ideas. For $40.00, Joe B offers suede shorts that help you flawlessly transition from Summer to Fall. Pair them with tights and over-the-knee boots for a sexy take on the trend; or a crisp white blouse and tailored blazer for an equestrian look.

We absolutely love monochrome bags for their versatility and because they will never go out of style. As balmy Summer evenings begin to draw to a close, one thing we are eagerly looking forward to come winter is showing off our new season wardrobe. We have been eyeing up some divine monochrome arm candy, our only dilemma is which one to choose? Check out these bags from Metaphor and Studio S: for under $100 you are bound to find your new piece de resistance!

How Cold Water Helps Your Hair Color

Arianne Suggs August 28, 2015August 28, 2015Leave a Comment

If you want your hair color to look salon worthy as well as to last you will want to use as many tricks from your hair arsenal as possible. First, always start with a healthy head of strands. If your tresses are not in a good condition adding chemicals is only going to make matters worse.

The tip we will discuss in this post is going to apply when you have finished applying hair color and allowed it to process. While rinsing your strands it is better to rinse with cold water than a warmer temperature. This is because warm water opens the cuticle which in turn will allow your precious hair color to escape. Moreover, if your strands have been processed with more than one color or tint, rinsing with cooler water will also help to lower and reduce any bleeding.

How cold does the water need to be when performing the rinse? Of course, colder is better, but you do not want to freeze yourself. Go as cold as you can comfortably stand and you will be able to still reap the benefits.
