People Who Make Me Feel Pretty (and not like a dirty hippie)

Rarely do I talk about hair/beauty tips on this blog--- This is mainly because I have none! I don't know the first thing about products, up-dos, or "beating faces." (I can never feel totally comfortable using that phrase to describe makeup application)  In all the hustle and bustle of the last few months I let my hair reach astronomical split-end lengths (my split ends had split ends!) and pretty much stopped wearing makeup... I decided it was time for a little Marmoset TLC.  

Enter makeup maven Ana Buitrago:

 She held a mini workshop this past Saturday as a preview of her makeup seminar coming up on June 23 at the LPM Showroom---- one of the things I loved was that she taught us how to do looks and we applied all the makeup ourselves! They say if you teach a man to fish...

 ... Voila! I now feel empowered to try some tricks on my own without fear of making myself look like a street-walker :)

Then yesterday I paid a visit to our good friend and stylist Nadine from PR at Partners:

 

She lopped off a good 4 inches of my out-of-control mane, gave me some long relaxed layers and worked some braid magic--- I kind of want her to follow me around and play with my hair everyday!

Starting June 23, we are going to be hosting Saturday beauty workshops at the showroom featuring the best in the business--- everything from makeup to skin to hair (and even DIY nail art)---- more details coming soon!

Romper and belt - La Petite Marmoset (vintage), Platforms- Jeffrey Campbell, Neon colorblock bag- Violet Boutique

This post could also be titled "Chameleon Onesie" or "Natural Pleats vs. Extreme Cameltoe"---- either way, this romper is perfect for blending into bright neighborhood murals (kind of like those tourist trap statue people!). What would you do if you were walking down the street and I popped out of a wall next to you? 

a) Gasp

b) Give me a high-five

c) Numero dos your pantalones

d) Be plagued by nightmares

e) all of the above
