Three Questions With Coco Rocha

Coco Rocha is one of those effortlessly chic and amazingly NICE super models that you actually want to be friends with. I never thought I’d say that about a supermodel…or ANY model, for that matter, but after chatting with the Banana Republic Mad Men Collection (available starting TODAY!) spokesperson, I’m totally #TeamCoco.

Q: What’s your favorite piece in the Banana Republic Mad Men Collection?
A: (This dress here) It’s a bold statement…you want to be the person everyone’s looking at going ‘wow, where did you get that from?’

Q: What advice would you give yourself five years ago?
A: Five years ago…that’s not that long ago, but still far enough…I think about being a model and the jobs that I chose, I didn’t have a voice for myself…I think that I could’ve reassured myself that you know what, what you’re doing IS ok, you know what? Go for it.

Q: What are your top three favorite beauty products?
A: I’d have to say, it’s all makeup-related. I wear makeup every single day, even to the grocery store, so I’m not that model that doesn’t wear makeup. I’d have to say eyeliner, you can do a lot with it. Cover up, because I am very, VERY fair so my freckles come out (she loves L’OREAL Magic Smooth Soufflee) and a good contour cream.

See the FULL INTERVIEW HERE.

Me, in the same dress Coco is wearing…yeah, GREAT decision. LOL.

Prada Fall 2013 Ready-to-Wear: Undone Chic

I don’t report details on Fashion Week unless I’m like, REALLY impressed by something. And guys, I saw photos from Prada’s Fall 2013 show and I LOOOVE it. InStyle’s Fashion Director, Cindy Weber Cleary, gave us some scoop on the inspiration for the line.

“The models in Miuccia Prada’s sensual, spectacular fall collection looked intentionally disheveled,” says Weber Cleary. “With wet hair, off-kilter layers, and weekend-bag sized satchels, it was as if they stepped out of the shower and had to dress quickly before running out the door.”

And yet, so chic. Walk of shame much? I feel like I look like this (unintentionally) every.single.day of my life, so clearly, I can relate. The line features beautiful, rich-looking clothing on models that simply aren’t finished. Need some inspiration on how to create this look on your own? Check out this post HERE. Here are my favorite looks from the collection:

Invisalign: My Results!

I want to start off by saying that I paid for 100% of my Invisalign system. I’m not affiliated with the brand in any way, so when I say that I’ve been getting TONS of emails and comments on my previous Invisalign videos, you can believe…it’s for a reason. I get it; it’s an expensive investment, but my Grandfather (who passed away with a full set of teeth, mind you) told me that you should always take care of your teeth. Watch the video and let me know what you think of my results! I’m very happy 🙂

Reader Question: How Do I Fix My Color-Damaged Hair?

Question:

Hey Jamie!

I recently got blonde highlights (on my dark brown hair) and the colorist used way too much bleach and now my hair is FRIED. What can I do to fix the damage while the color grows out?

Thanks,
“K”

Answer:

Hi “K!”

Sadly, this happens more often than you would think. The best thing you can do is give your hair a few weeks tro recover and, in the mean time, use a hair treatment to help restore the health of your hair. I really love Fekkai Protein Rx Anti-Breakage Treatment Mask since it’s formulated for brittle, broken hair that has been weakened from coloring, relaxing, or heat styling. If you’re looking for a wallet-friendly option, try VO5 Hot Oil Shower Works, which is also fantastic…and under $10.

Good luck!

Xo,
Jamie

2013 Oscars Fashion: My Favorites

I’m loving the slight drama of these dress trains…and, of course, the colors are amazing as well.
Jennifer Garner in Gucci Première, Charlize Theron in Dior, Olivia Munn in Marchesa

I’m definitely drawn to sharp details and sparkle, which is why I’m obsessing over these three dresses. Sure, Salma Hayek should’ve ditched the tiara (WTF) but other than that, the dress is fabulous.
Salma Hayek in Alexander McQueen, Naomi Watts in Armani Prive, Halle Berry in Atelier Versace

Special shout out to Jessica Chastain for being able to pull off this amazing Armani Prive dress. Girl, that color isn’t easy to rock for us pale girls. She looked amazing.

Vanity Fair & L’Oréal Paris DJ Night Party

Ah, awards season. You know how I love thee. I attended a super fun pre-Oscars party the other night at one of my favorite spots: The Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. Freida Pinto co-hosted the party with Vanity Fair and, of course, L’Oréal Paris. Here’s how to get Freida’s stunning makeup look from the event:

P!NK’s Truth About Love Tour

I’m pretty selective about the concerts that I attend, mostly because there’s nothing worse than sitting through a concert where you hate the band, but when COVERGIRL invited me to see P!NK at Staples Center, I immediately said YES. I’m not scared to admit that I LOVE P!NK. She’s just fantastic. And WHAT a show, seriously (see above photo). Not only does she have a fabulous voice, but she’s also an amazing performer and pretty much an acrobat. Direct from COVERGIRL, here’s the step-by-step on how to get the mani that she rocked at the Staples show:

P!NK’s Truth About Love Tour – Manicure Look at L.A. Show 2/16 – By Celebrity Manicurist, Michelle Saunders

While discussing the nail look with P!NK, she knew she wanted to use COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in a gold color because the gold really shines on stage. We also decided to keep the nail art simple based on the fact that she is wearing a number of elaborate and colorful costumes and did not want anything to conflict or take away from the wardrobe.

We also like to keep her nails at an active length because of her performances in the show.

For the fun accent nails, I was inspired by the exclamation point in her name and the heart was inspired by The Truth About Love album.

Here are the step-by-step tips on how to re-create P!NKs COVERGIRL inspired manicure:

1. Use 2 coats of COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in Golden Opportunity

2. On ring fingers apply a thin line (exclamation point) down the middle of nail in Black Diamond

3. Add a small heart to bottom of line (exclamation point) instead of a dot to create the final nail look
