Hair Adornment of the Week

Feathers & tutus what could be more dreamy.  When I stumbled upon StudioWed By Mirela on Etsy I could not draw myself away from the tutu skirts.  Everything she makes is lovely & takes me back to days of dress up.

Pair this lovely feather fascinator with a birdcage veil or a second look after a full veil.  Or just simply wear it by itself.  Happy inspiration to you!

Classic Trends

By: Julie Hill
Hairstylist for Imagine Three

When searching for the perfect look for that special event, where do we look for inspiration?  Trends are strongly influenced by icons and stars who walk the red carpet.  Most of these looks are influenced by the runway every season and are transformed to a more realistic and affordable everyday look.

The style of your hair can be dictated by many factors: length, texture, thickness, and weather just to name a few.  Most important is choosing what is most suitable for you and your event.  Your hair can be your most versatile and valued accessory.

In the past couple of years we have seen trends leaning toward downward hairstyles. Though, the new year seems to be shifting the trend! From the red carpet to leading brides and everyday brides, we have seen a strong upward swing to the more classic up do such as Chelsea Clinton’s french twist, Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Golden Globe big bun, and Mercedes Benz spring 2011 fashion week advertising pretty ponies & high buns. We are in for a fun year of classic styles and love!

However, down do’s are not forgotten. Many have graced the red carpets but in a different fashion this year.  More soft and classic style waves of the forties.

We always look to the past for our style but rewrite it for our times.  Classic is always beautiful and can never be wrong or go out of style.

Inspirational Looks

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Some of our fun looks created by Imagine Three for 2011 Whimsical Occasions wedding event @ Iroquois Club.

Curly girls we have a simple & elegant up do for you.  The model started with a great textured curl and was simply kept and curled more.  What a great way to keep your curls intact for your special event.

Awesome big curls &  soft deep parted 40′s waves. Can’t forget the pony…to the side it goes for a little party fun.  If your going up this year, go big or go home.  Our last model had height and elegance with a lower bun.

Happy hair inspiration to you!

Queen of Character

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

Congratulations to Miss Jordyn for becoming homecoming queen of Emmanuel Christian High School!  Jordyn is also our cousin and has grown into a beautiful young woman in spirit & heart. To be nominated & voted homecoming queen you must posses qualities of good character & testimony. Keep up your beautiful heart & let it shine.

Jordyn also was a model for us in The Bliss Book & I couldn’t have been more pleased then as I am now.  She chose to use her Bliss picture as inspiration for her homecoming up do.  Even more pleased when I saw the results & how perfectly (and even better) it was replicated.

This year has been a Bliss revival and reconnection on how you can find your inspiration, communicate it, fit & replicate it to your self.  Happy Inspiration!!
