Gold Fever

I’ve had a serious accessory problem lately, so I wanted to share some of my latest finds– I’ve totally got gold fever. (clockwise)

House of Harlow 1960 Antiqued Pave Rose Gold Arrow Bracelet: At first glance, I didn’t think I’d like the arrow but it totally grew on me. I love rose gold and this bracelet is great for girls with small wrists, since you bend the bracelet to fit.

Forever21 Tiered Brick Road Earrings: You would never have known these were from Forever21 if I didn’t tell you. I love these. And they’re super light, making them easy to wear.

Yochi Layered Statement Necklace: I’m way into statement necklaces lately and this version from Yochi is simple but modern and fun.

Obsession: SH-RD Protein Cream

I’m constantly trying new hair products that are supposed to be “amazing” and “revolutionary” but it’s rare that any of the products actually are what they describe. Enter SH-RD, aka the real deal. The cream is formulated with a silk protein complex that combines the moisture and protection of silk amino acid and hydrolyzed silk protein to smooth and seal the hair cuticle. It locks in moisture while strengthening the hair shaft = perfection. As an added bonus, the cream also contains ingredients that protect from UV rays, heat (styling tools) and chlorine damage.

LUSH Shark Fin Soap

If you know me, you know I love me some Shark Week which is exactly why this new soap from LUSH caught my attention. Besides the fact that it has an awesome shark FIN sticking out of it, LUSH Shark Fin Soap actually benefits (100%!) a non-profit called Shark Savers, dedicated to the protection and conservation of sharks.

Even if you are terrified of sharks, who isn’t really, we all know that they’re vital to the ocean’s eco system…but ok, even if you hope all sharks die, this soap makes a HILARIOUS gift for your friend who loves to surf or paddle board.

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.
