Going Postal



I stopped at the post office today to grab a change of address form, and shortly after I get several pictures from my husband of Waikiki beach. I'm freaking out over here! Why does it feel worse than waiting for Christmas?! TGIF!!

Backstage at Vancouver Fashion Week F/W 2015 with Matrix Style Link

This past weekend I had the pleasure of spending yet one more season at Vancouver Fashion Week, only this time I switched roles. For the past 3 seasons, I strutted the runway and loved it, but I was ready to put my hairstyling skills to work. So that's what I did!


Not only was I excited to put my hands to work, but I also had the amazing opportunity of using Style Link. It's a new product line by Matrix that will be on the market April 1st. Its technology is groundbreaking in that it combines lightweight silicones + flexible polymers = linked molecules, meaning even distribution of the product. You get lasting professional results with NONE of the drawbacks. 
• No buildup
• No tackiness
• No stickiness 
• No flaking
After all, fabulous hair is achieved that much easier when you have fabulous product. I'm so excited to walk you through the hair for the shows I styled and what I used to achieve the looks!

These glitter heels were a hit! Remember how I wanted to where them on NYE and couldn't because of all the ice and snow?!

Hair + Couture + A Lesson From The Godfather....Yes Please!

I recently was a hair model for Matrix, in a Seattle hair show. It truly was an incredible experience in every way! I got to hang out with a bunch of extremely talented stylists for 3 days and wear couture....now that's what I call a weekend!

Darci Brown hooked me up with my gorgeous new blonde color, and I was styled on stage by both Nicholas French and Daniel Roldan.  

Nicholas French has been called "the godfather" of hairdressing. Now I see why! I wish I could sit at his feet for a year and just watch him, listen to him, and assist him with his wig styling! I definitely left feeling like a learned a history lesson and full of inspiration!

Then there is Daniel. What an amazing artist! He has a strong point of view, and full of creativity and talent! Though he is a bit more quiet, don't let him kid you! This guy has jokes, and he and Nicholas had me cracking up with their commentary!

Finally, feast your eyes upon my wardrobe! The blue lagoon of gorgeousness below is by Roberto Cavalli. Ummmm...let's just say I never wanted to take it off, and Nicholas is lucky that it made it back into his bag! The beautiful red gown that I wore for the V.I.P. event is by Angel Sanchez. How fun to be so fancy! I even got to rock porcupine quills in one of my updos!

[ Model Call ]



Hello to all my fashionistas! I'm heading out the door right now for a model call in Seattle, for a hair show for Matrix! I know you will all be waiting anxiously to see what my hair ends up looking like! As soon as that show ends I'll be heading up to Vancouver, B.C. for fashion week! Stay tuned for upcoming photos from both events, and behind the scenes!

Do you see my large black suitcase? That would be 12 pairs of shoes for my 9 day extravaganza! The sad part is, that was me trying to pack lightly! Ahh! What's a heel lover to do??

XOXO dré
