Rocking Off-White

Who hasn’t heard of the high-end streetwear apparel brand, Off-White? Many celebrities have been spotted wearing Off-White, including Kanye West. I’ve seen several customers coming into the salon wearing it as well. I want to give a quick background of this brand for those of you who aren’t familiar with  Off-White. Off-White is a  fashion brand produced by an American designer, Virgil Abloh. Recognizable designs for this brand include bold lines and large printed logos plastered on the back of plaid shirts and blank hoodies.

Off-White first gained popularity among fashionista celebrities, and from there, it became one of the fastest growing fashion brand in the world. In Japan, Off-White has become one of the hottest brands among celebrities and dancers for both men and women. I believe it’s safe to say that Off-White is drawing attention from all around the world as THE luxurious streetwear brand. How does Off-White stand out from all the other streetwear brands? Their designs are very bold and eye-catching with high-quality materials that are not used for conventional street fashion.

Off-White clothing isn’t your style? They have more than clothing, so it’s easy to incorporate this brand with its variety of shoes and accessories. Check out their bags, shoes, and jackets and enjoy a different look from your usual style.

Karite Hydra shampoo by Rene Furterer

Who’s loving the crisp fall weather?  October is here with all the pumpkin latte you can drink, but unfortunately, so is the dry weather. Are you doing anything to prevent your skin and hair from drying out? Yes, we have mentioned this product in the past, but I can’t stress enough how important it is to keep your hair moisturized.

So, here is a friendly reminder about one of our favorite hair care products, Rene Furterer’s Karite Hydra shampoo.

 Karite Hydra shampoo is rich with organic shea butter, which not only helps the hair, but it also helps to maintain a healthy scalp. One of the main ingredients, an organic Cimentrio® complex, works to repair damaged hair. 

Use this shampoo once or twice a week for noticeably healthier hair. Don’t hide your hair underneath that beanie. Let the wind blow through your hair and brighten the world :) 

Red: A Girl's Secret Weapon.

RED is the color of the season!

If black is a girl’s best friend, then red is a girl’s secret weapon. It’s the go-to color for a big day. Wearing red empowers me and gives me the boost of confidence to live boldly.

Red is not just for the lips. You can create sexy, smokey eyes by applying bold, red eyeshadow. Take a closer look at your eyeshadow palettes; you will most likely find a few shades of red in there. It’s easier than you think to add red to your eye makeup. Start from the edge of the eyes and color the entire eyelid. To finish, apply pink shimmer and blend well to avoid the puffy eye look!.

There! You have trendy, red eyes to rock this fall.

Balancing out the eyes and lips is important. When going bold with red eyes, keep the lip color neutral with a nude lipstick. Find colors that compliment your skin tone and bone structure to enjoy this hot trend. Live in the moment and enjoy a new you!

Don't dry up this Winter.

I saw two interesting headlines recently that caught my attention;

"People Prefer Someone With Soft Skin" and "Touching Soft Objects Lowers Blood Pressure." I remember in Japan, the term “marshmallow body” was a common phrase used in many beauty articles for promoting the ideal feminine body and soft, translucent skin.

https://www.vogue.co.jp/

Soooo, I looked into what is considered ideal, beautiful, soft skin and how to maintain it. I found that people determined beautiful skin by its flawless appearance and moisture. Moisturizing only the surface of the skin isn't enough. It’s crucial to also moisturize deep in the stratum corneum, the deeper layers of skin because that’s what will make your skin feel ultra soft. You can maintain the skin’s tightness, smoothness, and softness when the stratum corneum contains a sufficient amount of moisture. After all, the key is to moisturize thoroughly to firm the skin!

So, how does dry skin occur? The skin on your face contains a combination of sebum, a natural moisturizing factor (NMF), and keratinocyte lipids. The ratio for these three is 2~3% sebum, 17~18% NMF, and about 80% inter-cellular lipids. Your skin drys out when these three things in the stratum corneum are not maintained at their necessary levels.

The benefits of moisturized skin aren’t just that it feels good, and is soft to the touch, but having moisturized skin also helps prevent breakouts from acne. Let’s stay extra conscious in the pursuit of baby soft, moisturized, firm skin during this dry, winter season.

Animal prints are back in style. Are you ready to get wild?

Animal prints are back for fall 2018, ladies! Some fashion articles are calling it the Animal Print Revival, so get ready for a myriad of options for animal prints! Simply incorporate your favorite animal prints to stay on top of the trend this fall.

Personally, I would go for the classic leopard print; there are tons of great choices for this print. I've fallen in love with my two new pairs of leopard shoes and a scarf. Accessories like scarves give a sophisticated, timeless look and are the perfect accent for your outfit.

Going overboard with animal prints can look a little too ostentatious, so my advice for your autumn leopard trend is focusing on footwear. You're less likely to mismatch styles with footwear so you can stay on point without looking cheap with the right shoes. Also, if you are bored with plain, basket-style bags, or cotton tote bags, grab a shoulder clutch for a stylish accent.

Tops brands are already out with endless animal print options, so be bold and show your wild side!
