Side Swept Braid How To

Hi everyone, as you all know, I recently attended Miami Swim Week this past July with the TRESemmé team where we showed you tons of amazing summer hairstyles. However, all of those stunning hairstyles were created by the talented TRESemmé team, but since I don’t have my own live-in hairstylist, I decided to attempt my own version of a side swept braid! I’m not gonna lie, it doesn’t look like it was done by the lead TRESemmé stylist, but it does look effortless and perfect to finish out the summer in. I listed the steps below so you can try it out for Labor Day Weekend coming up!

Step 1: Rinse and Condition your hair with TRESemmé’s Botanique Nourish and Replenish Shampoo and Conditioner
Side Note: This hairstyle does not require perfectly clean hair! You can wash your hair and then go a couple of days before trying this side swept braid!

Step 2: Spray the Nourish & Replenish Hydrating Mist all throughout your hair and not just because it smells amazing, but also because it helps to detangle and hydrate your locks.

Step 3: Dry your hair. I love my T3 Micro Hair Dryer. After drying, add some grit and texture to your hair with mousse. You can also use TRESemmé BOTANIQUE Damage Recovery Oil Elixir for weightless shine and texture that won’t leave your hair feeling greasy.

Step 4: If you have short short hair like me, you may want to add in some hair extensions for length and thickness to create a larger and fuller braid. Be sure to do this before waving your hair. Since you’re putting your hair up, you don’t need to make perfect waves. Just take small sections and run your wand throughout your entire head. I recommend using a 1.5″ inch barrel. Don’t forget to use TRESemmé Thermal Creations Heat Protectant Spray to avoid damaging your hair with hot tools.

Step 5: Create a deep part at the crown of your head towards the side that you want the braid to be on. Then pull all of your hair in front of that shoulder leaving out a small section at the front of your face. Next, tease all the hair around the crown of your head with a comb.

Step 6: Braid your hair tightly and use a small hair tie to secure it. Then gently tug the braid apart with your fingers to make it looser and give it that perfectly-undone look. Start from the bottom and work your way to the top. Lastly, take the small section of hair in front that you left out of the braid and pull out even smaller sections of hair and bobby pin them back to the base of your braid. Leave some out and pull your wand through that section one more time. Complete the hairstyle with plenty of Tres Two Extra Hold Hairspray.

White Tie Front Romper

August 8, 2016

Hi everyone, I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I’ve been loving the perfect weather here in Southern California.

Today, I’m sharing this sassy tie front romper from the Kendall + Kylie collection. I actually wore this look during Miami Swim Week and now it’s marked down to 50% OFF here. It looks stunning against a nice golden, Miami tan and some nude heels to help elongate your legs. I also paired it with my new Kendra Scott Samantha necklace to fill the deep v-neck and distract from all the bare skin and cutouts. I usually try to avoid pieces without cutouts, but I found this romper to be exceptionally flattering. It hugs you in all the right places and gives you room where you need it. At least that’s how it fits on me!

I’m about 5ft and 120 lbs and I’m wearing the size small in the white and it fits perfectly. I’m even considering getting the black too since it’s on sale! I’m thinking I could the black in early fall with a moto jacket or bomber draped over it.

The New Gigi New York Jenni Saddle Bag

August 5, 2016

Happy Friday everyone! It’s official, the Fall 2016 “it” bag has already made its way to the hands of every fashion influencer. I’m talking about the seventies style saddle bag and after almost a half a year of research and designing, Gigi New York and I have created the perfect bag!

I’m so excited that today is finally the launch of my newest handbag design with Gigi New York, the Jenni Saddle Bag! To celebrate we’re offering 20% OFF with code: HAUTE20 (code ends 8.21)

I’m constantly traveling and running all over town so I specifically designed the Jenni Saddle Bag for stylish girls on the go. Right now, there are so many different renditions of the saddle bag so I worked with the Gigi New York design team until we reached the perfect shape, size, length and style that would would dominate the saddle bag game. In fact, we tested out four different samples before producing the final bag. I created the Jenni Saddle bag to be petite enough to stay out of the way while also large enough to hold everything from your phone, keys, sunglasses, wallet, touch up makeup and more.

Scroll through this post to see how I styled my Jenni Saddle Bag in stone and tan.

My favorite aspect of the Jenni Saddle Bag is the full pocket across the backside of the bag to easily access essential items like your phone and keys. However, I also love the fact the that the tassel is a removable keychain in case you want to go for a sleeker look or swap out the tassel for a different color.

Follow along on social media this weekend as I takeover @GigiNewYork’s Instagram from Southern California with my blogger besties!

Blue Off The Shoulder Dress

June 29, 2016

Hi everyone, if you loved this blue off the shoulder dress that I posted a while back on Instagram, then you’ll be happy know that it has finally restocked and the dress will ship on July 12! I wore this off the shoulder beauty about a month ago and it immediately sold out so I’m glad I finally get to post it again knowing that you’ll be able to purchase! So hurry and order before it sells out again!

It’s the perfect summer dress that you can easily dress up or down. As you can see in these photos I dressed up my look with some lace-up heels, a pale pink chain bag and plenty of gold Julie Vos jewels. However, the dress looks equally stylish with a pair of flat sandals and a more casual cross body bag! I even thought a about pairing a belt with it, which I think would look so cute! You try it and tell me what you think!
