Hair Share — Loose Waves Without a Curling Iron

August 26, 2009

Holly sent in some great tips for creating waves overnight.

1. Rub Organix Coconut Milk Mousse, which is a mousse/leave-in conditioner hybrid, into damp hair. (Yet another Organix recommendation!)
2. Twist hair into a bun
3. Take the bun out in the morning and shake out the waves
4. Spray upside down then again right side up with Aussie Mega hairspray
5. Finish off any scruffy bits with a little bit of Fructis wax

Holly calls it “deliberate bedhead.” I call it gorgeous. Thanks for sending in your tip, Holly!

Share the hair love! If you have a great hair tip or two, email me with the details.

Party Time at the Gap

August 25, 2009

Saturday night, I hosted a lovely party for 30 fabulous friends at the Gap 1969 Denim Store in Los Angeles. Man oh MAN, when I accepted the invitation to be a Gap Brand Enthusiast a couple of months ago, I had no idea I would be hosting parties full of treats and libations (mmmm, white sangria) at an actual Gap store. It was the best! (Thank you, Justine and Bonnie!)

Let’s see. Chatting with friends and drinking sangria while incredibly knowledgeable and helpful Gap associates pick out jeans for me to try on. Duuuuude.

Here are shots from the evening. Thanks to Yvonne for taking most of these lovely photos!

Pssst. Read about my new favorite Gap jeans and enter an awesome giveaway over here!

Gap Boyfriend Jeans + Giveaway!

August 25, 2009

During my Gap party, I didn’t have much time to try on all of the totally re-designed Born to Fit jean styles (you know, with all the sipping and chatting), but it didn’t take long to find myself the cutest pair of Gap Boyfriend jeans. They are absolutely perfect for my lifestyle!

With a fun pair of shoes on date night.

OR I can pair a wider roll with a tank and flip flops for daily errands.

Either way, these bad boys are going to accrue some major mileage.

Have you seen all of the new Born to Fit jean designs? Perfect boot, Sexy boot, Real Straight, Long & Lean, Curvy, Always Skinny – listen ladies, with all of those options you can’t possibly go wrong. You WILL find the perfect pair just for you. (p.s. – The Sexy Boot was quite popular at the party.) And don’t feel left out, men! There are 6 styles for you as well!

I think you should give it go. In fact, I am giving away two $50 Gap gift certificates to help you find that perfect fit. Just leave a comment on this post before Friday, August 28th at 6 p.m. PST and I’ll randomly choose two winners to receive the $50 gift certificates. (Although, I’m intrigued….which Gap Born to Fit style of jean do you think you would wear? Tell me in the comments!)
