Candy Couture

Ever since I've laid my eyes on the Elie Saab Haute Coutre Spring 2012 collection I've been Smitten. The Candy Couture Collection is Gorgeous!! (Sigh) Not to mention the gorgeous makeup. Tom Pecheux described the Look(makeup) Pure, Simple and Subtle. I had to try and recreate it. The Couture may be out of my league but hey the makeup isn't ^_*

Soft Curls (pic heavy)

Prep your hair with heat protectant. I used morrocan hair oil.

If you have bangs blowdry it with a round bristle brush.

Section you hair and Clip it.

Part your hair this way. Start curling our hair from the nape working your way upwards.

Take a section of your hair.

Clamp the hair from where you want your curls to start.

Curl your hair outwards away from your face.

Rotate the curling iron working your way towards the tip of the section. Hint. Hold the tip of you hair (without burning yourself) slowly letting go off the clamp while rotating your iron.

Hold the barell for 30sec or more if you have thicker hair.

Working your way from from nape till top and curling away from the face.

And repeat.

Curling your hair Away from the face.

Like this.

Do not comb your curls! Use your fingers to loosen them.

Be careful when using a curling iron to not touch your face, ears, neck or other body parts that are in the operating range of the iron. The last thing you need is a scar on your face or somewhere else.

I used my John Frieda 1.5" curling iron for this tutorial.

Always use a heat protectant before styling you hair with heat.

Escape

Since it's been pretty much miserable(referring to the weather here) the last two days. Which explains the outfit post from a day when the weather was a little more comforting. Initally I was lil' skeptic on posting this look, considering how Rotund I looked. But this was the only realistic escape I could wish for in a New York January.

Boho'ish look pulled together with Zara turtle neck & Cutie's Ben Sherman belt.

........

Consuming insane amounts of Venti (Starbucks that is) & worrying myself silly over few upcoming event/project.

Deep Breaths.

Chanting the Vajra Guru Mantra.

Keeping my cool.

Gaga

Yes I am.

Gaga for Fur(faux).

Gaga for Jeffrey's.

I'm anxiously waiting for my Bloomingdales package. More Fur. Faux that is.

I graciously donated 2 of my faux fur jacket to The Sis who suprisingly not a Fur kinda girl is wearing it religiously. Maybe because its the more subtle not over the top "look at me" fur. Or maybe I'm just very influential. Lol.

&

My 18th pair(show off) of Jeffrey's but whose counting? ^_*

Wear your bun this way too.
