PREPPING MY HAIR TO SURVIVE NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

New York Fashion Week hairstyle

New York Fashion Week is a total whirlwind! After two years of attending under my belt, I knew what things were important and what things I could spend less energy on while there. One of the main lessons I learned this year: I will not want to wash and style my hair everyday because sleep is a rarity and a necessity during the craziness of NYFW. And let’s be honest – sleep is a priority when getting up and ready any day, let alone during the week of NYFW!

PACKING THE ESSENTIAL PRODUCTS

For packing for my trip to NYFW this year, I wanted to focus on the products that would minimize my styling time, hold my style, and help me speed up my getting ready routine. I’ve been a long-time fan of Living Proof and their Full Dry Volume Blast because it gives my hair a little extra oopmh of volume and texture that I can only seem to get from a salon visit. I knew I would be packing this product in my bag but also wanted to try some of the new Living Proof Style Lab products because they recently re-launched. I took the new T.B.D. Multi-Tasking Styler and Blowout spray through a trial-run a few days before leaving for my trip.

I love the way effortless waves look but wanted to focus on getting some extra volume and sleekness (that only my stylists can seem to achieve), so I started with damp hair and applied about a quarter-sized amount of the T.B.D. Multi-Tasking Styler to my hair with my hands and then brushed it through.  I can’t place a finger on the scent of the Living Proof products but I looove it. It kind of reminds me of a Marni perfume I love! The Multi-Tasking Styler really does it all – you can use it on wet and dry hair and it tames, it smoothes + polishes, it helps you get those piece-y waves… Done!

PREPPING YOUR HAIR

I don’t typically do blowouts on my hair anymore, as I find that the extra heat can be damaging. I have a lot of hair and unless I’m going for a super sleek look I try not to give extra heat to my hair with a blow dryer (but now on the days that I DO want a sleek look, I can use Living Proof’s Blowout for a faster salon-worthy blowout knowing my hair is protected because it has built-in heat protection). But for this effortless waves look, I air dried my hair until it was about 80% dry and then used my hairdryer on the cool setting to get it all the way dry. My focus on the last 20% of drying time was to get the extra smoothing benefit of the T.B.D. Multi-Tasking Styler and to tame my ends.

My next step was to create some loose, effortless waves with a curling iron – but first, I wanted to give my hair a bit of heat protection prior so I used a few spritzes of the Living Proof Style Lab Blowout spray since it offers heat protection up to 450º and can help lock in your style. I focused my spritzes mid-way through my hair since that’s where I would be doing the styling and wrapped small sections of hair once or twice around the curling iron. I like switching up the number of times I wrap my hair around the barrel and curling both towards my face and away from my face for a mixture of different wave patterns.

Once I’m done adding piece-y waves throughout my hair, I use my ol’ favorite: Living Proof Full Dry Volume Blast! Give it a good shake, spray and tousle for some volume, and I’m all set with that New York Fashion Week ‘effortless waves’ hair!

    I’ve been thinking about getting some Living Proof. I have a friend who uses it, and she raves about it.

    I need to try this brand. As we age, we not only get fine lines and wrinkles but our hair gets dry and brittle as well. I will ave to try those Living Proof products. They do look like they are high quality products that would help bring my hair back to life.

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨ I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨
✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
