Channel Blumarine Fall 2011 RTW Hair with the help of ProExtensions.

As seen on the runways of the Blumarine Fall 2011 Ready to Wear , sleek. straight long hair.  This look although it is classic and timeless. will be one of the key hair looks for fall. My suggestion for this fall season is to MAXIMIZE the length of this sleek straight style with the help of extensions.  Clip-in extensions are the easiest, and most cost efficient solution to doing it yourself.  Now with websites like proextensions.com  , not only can you purchase clip-in pieces, but you are guaranteed that the hair is actually virgin-remy hair. They also offer standard hair , but it is of the highest quality , not your average " beauty supply store hair". I put in hair extensions , that were made from 20inch Pro Premier Indian Remy hair ( in the form of clip ins)  in myself recently . Visual below :

Pro Premier 20" Remy Clip Ins 

I actually LOVED the results ! The hair looked natural ( which is the main intention) , no shedding, you can see that the hair is actually double drawn, and all of the hair is in fact the same length. There is a softness to the Virgin Remy hair that you will not find elsewhere, and when you use heat-styling tools, the hair even curls or( in the case of this particular style above- ) straightens easier.  The hair looks very natural, and its as if I got the extensions done at a high-end salon , while it took me about ten minutes just to apply the clips to my hair. Once you use this quality of hair , there is honestly no more turning back. You can find this hair and many more fabulous styles of hair  ( body wave, pro cute ( 100% cuticle hair , which some find to be the most natural looking hair to use), color streaks, etc..) on proextensions.com from now on for limited time you can receive 10% off any purchase when you use the code "Deesse" .

Go on and re-invent yourself with extensions !!!

Curl Envy Made Easy With Brilliance New York Triple Barrel Diamond Clipless Curling Iron

Hair at the Dior Couture Show this past July

Hairstyles like the one pictured above used to be styles coveted by consumers with no "manpower" of our own to re-create them without the help of a professional hairstylist. That way of thinking is now something of the past, because getting the "perfect" curled style - whether its loose, tight or somewhere in between is very easy. 

Brilliance New York 's Triple Barrel Diamond Clipless Curling Iron (pictured, above)  is the new insider secret to achieving curls and or waves that are "To die For" , it has an advantage on the rest, because there is three barrels to choose from-  eliminating the need to purchase multiple irons in different sizes. Its the one-stop shop to getting the look you want - FINALLY!!!   Making a grand slam first- impression on the Miami Swim Week shows and events ( some were lucky to snag a iron in gift bags) , especially on Singer/Actress Adrienne Bailon.  Below is a video of Adrienne behind the scenes during Fashion Week expressing her views on Brilliance New York : 

What I love about this iron, is that there is versatility. Since there is three interchangeable diamond infused barrels ; one day you can have big  curls a la Kim Kardashian with the 3. 32MM diamond infused barrel:

 the next day you can channel your inner Beyonce a la her hair at the Glastonbury performance with small tight curls using the  1. 19MM diamond infused barrel: 

 and the day after that, you can go for the summer "staple" loose beachy waves like Vanessa Hudgens with the  2. 25MM diamond infused barrel : 

I have personally used this iron , and once I opened the box,  I fell in love. It curls the hair flawlessly, and surprisingly the curls actually LAST! I also love that it is clipless, so there is never a moment of having to worry about "ugly dents" in my curls, and the clipless option makes curling a lot more faster in my opinion.   Even in the past very humid NYC days that we've been experiencing, my curls did not drop or disappear at all.  Other key benefits / features include :

• Ceramic and diamond infused barrel.
• An advanced ceramic heater for better recovery time.
• Excellent for longer lasting curls and waves.
• Utilizing real diamonds and Far Infra Red technology for constant even heat distribution and no damaging hot spots.
• Ionic technology helps seal the cuticle, locking the moisture inside your hair shaft, protecting your hair from humidity.
• Advanced LCD display for more accurate temperature control.
• Heats up to 392F / 200C.
• Suitable for all hair types.

This iron can be purchased at the Brilliance New York  website, and it is a luxury item ( with the $350 price tag), but it is WORTH it.  The price of one great iron is about half the cost of this iron, and you're getting the power of three irons at the fraction of the cost, and I am a firm believer that your hair is worth spending the extra bucks on.  Also connect with the Brilliance New York team  on facebook -  http://www.facebook.com/BrillianceNewYork , and on Twitter @BrillianceNY , and  their  Youtube Channel  

What ever happened to "Yellow Gold Engagement Rings ?"

For some time now , the go to setting for diamond engagement rings online no matter what the retailer / jeweler is  was - white gold, or platinum.  It was as if the whole notion of having a yellow gold ring has become obsolete. I think its time now that yellow gold has made a comeback. With websites like Brilliance , where you can buy wholesale diamonds and custom design your own engagement ring. For instance, if there are no styles on this website that matches your interest i.e. "I want to replicate Kim Kardashians engagement ring", or perhaps you said " I want to be classic and have a ring like the one Grace Kelly had" whatever your ring-envy is, the jewelry designers can make a custom ring to meet your exact specifications.  

Here is the process : 

       

Step 1: Submit drawings, sketches and/or pictures

Step 2: Receive our illustration renderings for approval

Step 3: Jewelry is cast, polished, and completed

The process is pretty fast, within two days a specialist will contact you to begin the custom design process  after step one in completed. I love the idea that yellow gold styles being featured as a primary style choice. This site offers the most high-quality and  "life of the rich and fabulous" - styled ring designs in addition to the custom designs. This is the perfect anecdote to those who want a Hollywood-inspired ring without the six-figure price tag.  We all can't have the 2-million  ring that a very famous reality star recently acquired, but we can have a fabulous ring that shines as much!!!  I say go for the gold, yellow gold that is !!!
