Mani Monday | Emerald Fitzgerald

Shout out to the Emerald City, jazz great Ella Fitzgerald, and of course…Gatsby. This glitzy color will look great on a multitude of skin tones. Its deep green has a hint of sparkle and a whisper of blue coming through. It was a gift from my sister (thanks, Pam!), but I found a link below so that you could gift yourself!

What's your mani saying today?

We're not the kind of girls who have jerseys lining our wardrobes. We're the kind of girls who pull a look together by getting creative with colors and themes. And this is how we'll be supporting our Seattle Seahawks this Sunday while they take down the San Francisco 49ers!

Whether you'll be wearing your fav Seahawks gear or just team colors, take some inspiration from us on how you can add some BOOM to your look.

Big Wheel

Seattle is a place where hidden gems are tucked away throughout the city. We discovered (and rediscovered) a few. Goat cheese truffles at Clever Bottle, beet salad at Sazerac, frittatas at Cafe Soleil, and bright lights of the Big Wheel on the pier.

What are your favorite gems of the city?

Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue, My Hair Is PINK!

Well! The time has come for me to have a change with my hair again! As much as I loved having my blonde hair, I was over it. My ambition was to go darker with it again....and it still is...but I made a pit stop along the way!

While I was in Vancouver for fashion week, I got a couple emails from my coworkers, begging me to let them color my hair pink. It's for a good cause. Good cause? Then I guess I'm in!

Gene Juarez Salon and Spas are presenting a runway show this Thursday at 7pm at the Experience Music Project, called I Am Hopeful. The ticket proceeds are benefiting the Hope Heart Institute, as more women die each year from heart disease in America, then all cancers combined. 

Come show your support and see me rock the runway this Thursday! Ticket details can be found at http://www.genejuarez.com/style.aspx.

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!  

XOXO dré
