New BridalStix Hair Jewelry Designs Posted in the LongLocks Catalog!

11.07.2011 | Author SMS

Four new LongLocks BridalStix designs have been posted in the LongLocks catalog and the Special Edition Designs page has been updated! These aren’t just for brides, and they are gorgeous with all your winter whites!

Today’s Tip: If you’ve recently used a non- or low-peroxide temporary color on your hair, don’t give yourself a hot oil treatment. The hot oil will lift a good deal of the color from your hair. On the other hand, if you’ve used a temporary color you hate, hot oil treatments are a great way to remove the color more quickly!

Major Covet Part II!

11.23.2009 | Author SMS

Hey kidz! Did ya miss me? Ya, I know, I’ve been remiss. I don’t get much time to come up for air this time of year, it’s the nature of the biz.

So anyways, I’m doing my usual “too late to have not missed all the good stuff I can afford” stroll through the private sale boutiques, and I came across this beauty at Gilt Group and thought I just had to share:

alexandermcqueensilkdrapefront Major Covet Part II!

alexandermcqueensilkdrapeback Major Covet Part II!

It’s a crinkle silk draped gown by Alexander McQueen… just GORGEOUS! It even has boning! They apparently have two left, A European size 38 and a size 40. The 40 measures 34 inches in circumference at bust. 70 inches from shoulder to hemline. It’s also available in black. Neither of which will be mine, yet once again. But just ONCE in my life I want to wear a gown with a train! Just ONCE! I missed the chance when I got married. Don’t ask.

Anyway, it can be some lucky, painfully skinny girl’s for the bargain price of $998. And considering the retail price was $3,975 it IS a bargain! And note the model is NOT wearing Armadillos.

Gilt is one of those private sale sites for which you have to contact me to get an invite. I’ll be standing by as the requests come pouring in from all of you lucky ladies who are hot to buy this beauty!

Pssssst, Hey You! Wanna Buy a Kimono?

11.11.2009 | Author SMS

I have been desperately trying to get the kimono in our collection that we have no wall space left to display into permanent storage. In the process of doing so, and much hubby arm twisting on my part, we have decided to part with a few of them.

I have five uchikake (very ornate wedding kimono) and one furisode (ornate kimono with long sleeves worn by single women) that need to find a loving home. They all make the most beautiful works of art you will ever hang on your wall (we even have one suspended from the rod at the head of a pencil post canopy bed in the guest room), or the most unforgettable gift you will ever give. They are all different colors and range from iridescent pastels to vibrant jewel tones.

If anyone is interested, please contact me and I will describe what I have and take photos for you of any you might be interested in. The photos below are examples of the types of kimono I have, but are not actual kimono in my collection.

All Dressed Up…

…and someplace to go! How gorg, as Rachel Zoe would say, is this??

It’s the “Troy” blush charmeuse silk gown by Luca Luca. And guess what? This baby retails for $3,900 but it’s only $599 at Rue La La for the next 20 hours or so (I don’t know how many they have, but it’s not likely this lovely piece is going to last that long). If you really do have someplace to go, what a way to go in style for a bargain! I’ve included the invitation code in the link, so you can just click to get in if you want to check it out. Right now it’s still available in U.S. sizes S-XL (European sizes 40-48). You’ll find it under “The Final Sale Fashion Volume 2.” LOVE it! Reminds me a bit of Gwen Stafani’s killer Dior wedding gown, and is certainly phenomenal enough to get married in… or make the most of not being married in.
