The Hair Files: Fred Segal Salon

Welcome to another episode of the hair files.  I got my latest color and highlights done at Santa Monica’s famous Fred Segal Salon and I have to say, I’m pretty into it!  If you read my blog, you KNOW how picky I am with my color and I definitely don’t let just anyone touch it so when I was offered the chance to one, try out such an awesome salon and two, get my highlights done by the owner, Matthew Preece, I jumped at the opportunity. Matthew has devoted clientele that includes LeAnn Rimes, Brooke Burke, Jamie Pressley and even Tony Robbins so I knew that I’d be in excellent hands.

I wanted to go a bit lighter (shocker) and after Matthew suggested that he first lighten my base, I definitely got a little nervous since my hair sometimes turns a bit red at the base if done incorrectly; but Matthew assured me it would look awesome…and he was RIGHT. He lightened my base just the right amount and then put even lighter highlights over the base color to lighten up the hair around my face.  The verdict?  Happy.

Barneys New York Partners with Lady Gaga to create GAGA’S WORKSHOP!

News flash – two of my favorite things, Lady Gaga and Barneys New York, have teamed up to create Barneys 2011 Holiday campaign, GAGA’S WORKSHOP!  The unique collaboration with Lady Gaga will bring  together the talent of several artists including Eli Sudbrack and Lady Gaga’s own Fashion Director, Nicola Formichetti.  For the first time ever, Barneys will convert an entire floor of its Madison Avenue flagship into a dedicated space for the holiday initiative, starting in mid-November.

What I’m super interested in will be the selection of small gift items that Gaga designed along with Nicola Formichetti where 25% of sales will be donated to a charity of Gaga’s choice – what a great holiday gift.  I seriously can’t wait to check this out when I go back to New York for Christmas this year.

Kardashian Kolors for OPI

The Kardasians have their hands in, ugh, everything these days.  As annoying as I find this fact, I have to admit how much I love their OPI Kardashian Kolors Collection.  Yeah, the colors are fab but what I love even more than the colors are how absolutely cute the names are. My faves?  Follow Me on Glitter and Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam.

Top row (left to right): All Kendall-ed Up, Sealed with a Kris, Kim-pletely in Love, Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam, Kourt is Red-y for a Pedi, Rainbow in the S-kylie

Bottom row (left to right): Disco Dolls, Listen to Your Momager!, Wear Something Spar-kylie, It’s All About the Glam, Follow Me on Glitter, Kedall on the Katwalk, My Empire…My Rules

CoverGirl Beauty Bar for the MTV Movie Awards

I’ll never say no to an event lounge…and I’ll especially never say no when the lounge is hosted by one of my favorite brands, like CoverGirl.  The MTV Movie Awards were a slight blip on my radar this year, but not really that important since it’s pretty much guaranteed that the awards will be overtaken by Twilight and Harry Potter (and after watching, I was obviously right) so yeah, I was excited to check out what the CoverGirl Beauty Bar, hosted at NINE ZERO ONE salon in West Hollywood, had to offer.

Luckily, my friend Kelsi was working her social media thing in the HPNOTIQ Harmonie lounge, which just might have been the cutest lounge I’ve ever seen.  Seriously, I’m not even really into the whole girlie girl decor thing but everything was purple and sparkly and there were cupcakes and candy everywhere – as someone on a very strict diet at the moment, I had a very hard time controling myself and yes, I did indulge in this ridiculous oreo cheesecake pop that Kelsi said was “truly amazing.” 

Annnyway, there was also a CoverGirl makeup area (with the fabulous Amy Nadine!), a FakeBake spray tan room and WELLA hair care was there (another personal favorite!) on top of random celeb spottings like Rumer Willis, Karina Smirnoff, Stephanie Pratt, Demi Lovato, and the the cute cheerleader from The Hard Times of RJ Berger!

Kim Kardashian Hosts the Launch of the Midori Melon Liquer Trunk Shows

Yeah, I’m way behind on my blogging but with the recent news of Kim Kardashian’s engagement, I was reminded that I never did my post on the fabulous launch party for Midori Melon and ShoeDazzle’s VIP Trunk Shows, hosted by Kim K herself.  As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a SoleSociety Fashion Insider but this girl definitely has room in her heart for as many awesome shoe clubs as possible.  ShoeDazzle, co-founded by Kim, has really stepped up their game with some super cute heels, all of which the cocktail waitresses carried around with the Midori drinks.  Sydne and I stalked the shoes before heading over to SoHo House to meet our friend Kristen.
