A DREAM

The day that it came true..

I met with Ally and it was as if I met a long lost friend. I could see who she was in that very moment. The JOY of knowing she’d met her soul mate and that they would soon be married.

Our first meeting we discussed the dress, hair and makeup for the ceremony and reception after. Many times brides decide that with the mood and transition from ceremony to the evening and whether or not the chignon should stay up or take the hair in a new direction, such as half up or hair loose and softly waved. We do take into consideration the neckline and cut of the dress, assuring that all is in harmony from head to toe.

BEAUTY IS ALL AROUND US…

2015 is the year of change and renewal.

Already February and with Fashion Week behind us and the winter that keeps on giving, I find inspiration with every step I take from Madison to 5th Ave.

Many are taking chances with trading in their long locks for shorter bobs and punching up their color. Adorned on those new styles are faux to fur hats, reminding me that chic always reins supreme.

There is no other city that does winter like New York.  From thigh high boots to opaque hosiery with thigh high cashmere stockings and mini skirts and dresses designed by Chanel and Lanvin.

Many years ago I decided that I would travel to London to visit a friend… It would be my first time there.  I grew with excitement as the date for departure drew near… I’ve always loved the British for their wit and customs. So for me, I thought the pool of intelligence would satisfy all of my curiosities.

THE DRESS

Inspiration and the Dress…

A few years ago a friend of mine shared with me that she would be getting married… She was elated! Her thoughts were that I would do her hair, makeup and of course help her choose the dress… I thought “WOW” this is so exciting…

The inspiration was a Country Wedding… Colors: soft pink, sand and of course white… This I thought would be the easiest approach instead of the HUGE Gala’s that I normally do…

We started our search at Bergdorf Goodman…
