10.28.11How To: Organic WavesWhen we were in Maui last month, I was reading an old Lucky magazine and came across an interview with hairstylist and makeup artist Sunnie Brook. In the article they mentioned her blog, so of course I had to check it out! And now I'm obsessed. Sunnie has lots of great hair and makeup advice and amazing tutorials. (Seriously, I've watched everything.) I love this one on how to create organic waves with a clipless curling iron. I don't have the patients to put this much effort into my hair on the regular. And, yes, this is what I consider a ...

02.16.11Dominatrix Perfection at Marc Jacobs RTWOn the opposite end of the hair spectrum from yesterday's post on purposefully fugging up your hair, are the sleek and smooth ponytails at Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 Ready To Wear. The severe dominatrix inspired ponytails complimented the tough yet ladylike latex, lace, and polka dot fitted silhouettes.

It's a great way to apply eye makeup when you want to look a bit polished without wearing much makeup. All you need is a flat eyeliner brush, like Laura Mercier's Flat Eyeliner Brush and a waterproof gel liner, like MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack or Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner. (Plus, it's a good idea to have some eye makeup remover and Q-tips on hand to fix mistakes. There's definitely a learning curve!) For tips on ...

Of course, what I really want to know is, how do you like the hair? In my opinion, it turned out great. As did the whole night.
