Baked By Melissa cupcakes

So I’m loving LA but one place that I’m totally missing is the amazing little hole-in-the-wall cupcake stop, Baked By Melissa in SoHo.  Sadly, only New York City residents can purchase these delightful little treats but you can bet that Baked By Melissa is on the top of my list when I get back to New York in December.  I can hardly wait to try the two NEW flavors, Cinnamon and Mint Chocolate Chip…Mmmmm.  If you’re in New York City, definitely check out the window!

2009 Emmy’s: Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ hair look




Celebrity stylist, Oscar Blandi created Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ red carpet look last night for the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards and I have to say, she looks fabulous. “Elaine” from Seinfeld is one of my all-time favorite TV characters and I always enjoy seeing Julia on the red carpet. 

 

HOW TO GET THE LOOK:

STEP 1: Prep damp hair with Oscar Blandi Jasmine Protein Mist. ($18 on Sephora.com)

 

STEP 2: Apply Oscar Blandi Volumizing Spray from roots to ends to add volume. ($18 on Sephora.com)

 

STEP 3: Apply Oscar Blandi Wave Enhancing Spray from mid-length to ends to create a foundation for natural looking waves. ($18 on Sephora.com)

 

STEP 4: Blowout hair focusing on lifting the roots for volume, accentuating the natural side part.

 

STEP 5: Take a 3 inch barrel curling iron and hold it vertically. Starting just above the chin, curl the hair in small sections, keeping the crown smooth so waves cascade around the shoulder.

 

STEP 6: Finish entire look with Oscar Blandi Lacca Hairspray for volume and hold. ($23 on Sephora.com)
