Happy  Mother’s  Day!

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

Calling all MOB’s and MOG’s this post is dedicated to you in honor of Mother’s Day and your up coming event.  We celebrate you with some inspirational styles that may help you in your decision making.  Often I hear from mother’s they do not have choices and they do not know what to do with their hair for the event.  You are often the person running around tying up loose ends.  As the mother you are one of the most important people at the event so sit down, relax and beautify yourself for this grand moment.

The chignon is perfect a soft loose bun at the nape of you neck sometimes leaving things out around your face.  The chignon can be deciphered in many ways but is always elegant and age appropriate. The french twist is perfect for putting your hair up and looking elegant.  Again you can have multiple interpretations of the twist.  Down can be loosely pulled back from the face with loose wave so that it will not look like a prom do but more of an elegant red carpet style.

If you would like to be more you on that day and not do an up style or a formal style,  my suggestion is to see your normal stylist or a stylist that will do a trial.  Have your normal every day style but pumped up.  Get a blow dry that is full of life add a few loose waves.  Short hair add a little bended curl to your everyday style.  Whatever you do represent yourself and be proud.

Imagine Three hair & make-up (creators of Bliss) had the opportunity this week to do a fashion show at a local high school.  We pulled one of the looks from The Bliss Book and recreated it.  We threw in a flower, stolen from a small child, for some fun.  The make-up was changed to a more glowy bronzed look.  I am excited about this post because I get to show you both the look from The Bliss Book the recreated look with a dress option.

All the dresses for the  Milan High School Prom Fashion Show were provided by David’s Bridal.

Check out the different hair adornments chosen to create a pop of color.  This white dress is great because the accessory options are endless.

Tell me, are you wearing your hair up or down for your prom do?

Get  Your  Prom  On!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

This week we are going to dedicate to prom.  It’s the season and everyone should be gearing up for the dress find, then the accessories, the right shoes and what the heck to do with your hair.  So we are going to play match the dress with accessories and hair.  A fun little inspiration palette to get your game on and look your best on prom day.

Everyone has their own individual style and it should shine on events like these.  Face it girls these are the days we have to look forward to,  looking beautiful and showing off the best.  So show your style in your dress choice, hair and accessories.

The shoulder are out,  so by wearing your hair up you will look stunning.  But you can definantly have a down do with this dress.  I would suggest making it a more dressy style than casual,  because the dress is so red carpet.  The picture shows a short style that is more of a sleek look which does look good.  You can either go with a curly or sleek style with this choice of dress.  But big and bold says it all with accessories and hair.

Click on the picture and they will take you directly to the accessory and dress.

~Hair Wonderland~

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Hair Bows Wonderworld on Etsy is a world full of fantasy, from the not so everyday bouquets to her trendy boutonnieres. Not to forget her unforgettable hair accessories, that’s why we are here.

Check out the boutonnieres I posted below. I think they would substitute as hair accessories perfectly.  Don’t ever be afraid to take something, use it differently than its purpose and make it new.  Many times we have made broaches into hairpins and bouquet fillers in to hair accessories.  Use your imagination and make it happen, that is where your individuality will take place.

The boutonnieres could be used for a smaller scaled bride and less is more.  Simple and just a little pop.

Don’t forget to check out the Bliss styles suggested for the accessories.  Happy inspiration!

Topsy Turvy Design’s costume accessories for stage, film & play.  I’m not going to lie I want to wear these hat’s everyday!  You have to visit Topsy Turvy’s Etsy and look at the rest of her designs to appreciate her creativeness.  Kim Brown-Dye passion for creativeness and where she finds it inflames my own passion.  She looks to the tops of the buildings for details and in paper lanterns in china town to give her inspiration. These details and such creativeness allows her hats to pop with fun and her hair accessories to be detailed like no other.  Just because these are for play and film doesn’t mean you can’t incorporate them into everyday or your special day.  I have picked several to match with some Bliss looks.

~Your Inner Girl~

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

I have been eyeing Mikiye forever on Etsy.  I love her diversity in her creations and the pop of color she brings.  I am such a huge fan of the skeleton feather.  What a fun night, party spark.  It could be your Goth girl, Pinup girl or Halloween wedding look.  Pull out your inner dark girl and run.

Check out our Bliss inspired looks below to pair with Mikiye’s creations.

About Mikiye:

I guess I can say I’m lucky since it seems all the women in my family have been very creative. My Great Grandmother was very much into craft making and as long as I can remember my Grandmother was making something. When I was young I spent most of my spare time drawing, painting, or trying to make something with Playdo!

I was written up in W Magazine and featured in magazines like Essence, Teen People and Shape. My accessories also made appearances on the popular television shows: The O.C. and The Simple Life. Some of my celebrity clients include Rock Star Kimberly Cole, Kelly Osbourne, Paris Hilton, Lacey Chabert and Shaun Robinson to name a few.

~Pieces of Silk~

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

ThreadRare caught my eye on Etsy when I came to their opening page where handpicked item’s are featured.  Out jumped one of her hand sewn flowers.  I love the versatility of these flowers because they can be worn with your casual outfit for fun, your wedding day, prom for pizazz and the little flower would be perfect for little girls & flower girls.  I think the flowers also caught my eye because the workmanship is such great quality.  My favorite is BALLET.

Check out the Bliss inspired looks below for some options to go with ThreadRare’s featured hair adornments.

ThreadRare:

I have a degree in textiles and clothing design and formerly owned a business designing custom bridal and special occasion gowns. Now that I stay home with my toddler son, I’m channeling my creative energy into designing accessories.

I still have a deep love for luxury fabrics which is why I make many pieces out of silk. Vintage has always had an appeal for me as well, and I incorporate elements of the past into my pieces as much as possible.
