Infusium’s Golden Globes Looks – Julia Louis-Dreyfus & Connie Britton

Infusium is excited to celebrate this year’s Golden Globes with Julia Louis-Dreyfus AND Connie Britton, donning their next generation of Infusium products that transform hair heath with every use.

Renowned celebrity stylist, Matthew Monson (@matthewmonzon), worked his magic for Best Actress in a Comedy nominee, Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ effortlessly chic look; while Connie Britton’s gorgeous natural waves were created by celebrity stylist, Enzo Angileri (@enzoangileri). Both stylists used Infusium to ensure their hair stayed healthy during and even after their struts on the red-carpet.

“GET THE LOOK” FROM MATTHEW MONZON:  

  • For Julia Louis Dreyfus’ look tonight I wanted her hair to look soft, shiny and stunning.
  • First, I washed and conditioned her hair with the Infusium Repair + Renew Shampoo and Conditioner.
  • Next, to protect her hair from any damage, I sprayed Infusium Repair + Renew Leave-In Treatment from mid shaft through the ends combing through with a wide toothcomb.
  • Then I took a quarter size amount of Infusium Repair + Renew Leave-In Crème emulsified in my hands, and worked through the last 3 inches of the hair to help eliminate frizz and flyaways.
  • I started drying her hair using just my hands, and lifting her strands for texture and root volume. After it was half way dry, I incorporated a round brush to finish and create even more volume.
  • To keep with Julia’s signature style, I created a strong center part with a tailcomb. Then separated her hair into large sections, and starting curling using a large barrel iron for a more tousled feeling.
  • To finish the look, I used the Infusium Repair + Renew Smoothing Serum to smooth over the ends and give a bit more definition to the hair.

“GET THE LOOK” FROM ENZO ANGILERI:  

  • I wanted Connie’s style to look elegant, shiny and smooth.
  • I started by washing and conditioning her hair with the Infusium Repair + Renew Shampoo and Conditioner.
  • While her hair was still wet, I parted the hair down the middle and then sprayed Infusium Repair + Renew Leave-In Treatment to the ends of her hair.
  • Then I sectioned her hair into about 20 sections and starting drying with a round brush. After, I pinned each section up like a roller and let it set for about 5 minutes for volume and natural wave. I took out the pins and brushed her hair so the waves would loosen.
  • Starting from the back of the head, I used a 1.5 inch curling iron and began curling the hair to accentuate the soft waves.
  • When finished, I lightly brushed it out again for that natural look. I applied the Repair + Renew Smoothing Serum at the top of her head, near her part to avoid fly aways!

PRONOVIAS, the leading Company in the world of wedding dresses, moves full speed ahead with its successful digital project, #PronoviasItBrides,  conceived with the purpose of inspiring all future brides to say “I do” while wearing  their dream dress that enhances one’s individual style and personality.

Thanks to the success of the project, Pronovias plans to support it further as it believes in the importance of uniting the tradition of the Spanish company with the most influential digital ambassadors, creating relationships with the best-known and loved faces in social media. Last year, Pronovias worked with American influencers Whitney Port, Danielle Bernstein, Rumi Neely, and Jennifer Grace to head the It Bride campaign in the USA. This year, the American face of the Atelier Pronovias 2017 Collection is NYC-based Blair Eadie, author of the hit fashion blog, Atlantic-Pacific.

With a total social media following of over 1.5 million followers, Eadie was an obvious choice for the bridal firm; she knows how to effectively connect with her audience, creating authentic content and always making sure her posts give her followers an added value. Moreover, Eadie’s personal fashion aesthetic was an ideal match for Pronovias, taking ultra-feminine bridal gowns and giving them her unique NYC-chic twist.

Eadie wore a total of 6 gowns during the New York City photo shoot, which included backdrops of the iconic New York City Public Library, mid-town Manhattan traffic, and a scenic rooftop in Brooklyn. Out and about in the big apple was the perfect location for this shoot, showcasing how the fast pace of today’s world can still pause for a moment to capture beauty and celebrate ever-evolving bridal style.

As both parties of the collaboration begin to publish the photos and video from the #PronoviasItBridesshoot, the goal is that Eadie’s personal style shines through and brides-to-be everywhere are inspired with the fresh, fashion-forward finished product.

The new Atelier PRONOVIAS 2017 Collection, designed by Hervé Moreau, the firm’s creative director, reflects contemporary elegance, making beauty and comfort possible for all brides.  The collection works with materials such as crepe, Mikado silk, and ethereal, translucent gauze, including Valentina gauze.

Mid Sleeve Floral Romper – Cute and Relaxed Style Option

New Year’s Eve is a night of glitz and glam.  This year, I opted from the traditional cocktail gown and wore an outfit that’s casual chic.

Festive activities (for this holiday) range from serving appetizers, playing board games, and toasting with a glass of champagne. To enjoy the evening, I needed a look that’s stylish and comfortable.  The Mid Sleeve Floral Romper from AMI Clubwear was the ideal option.

I am a huge fan of wearing a Romper because it’s the perfect combination of cute, relaxed, and sexy. In addition, the mid-length sleeves provide an extra layer of warmth.

Another style option for this look is to pair with Over-The-Knee Boots, Infinity Scarf, Cardigan Sweater, Cropped Blazer, or Tights.

America’s Next Top Model Season 23 – Episode 4 Recap

“Brand yourself and be self-made” was the most profound statement during last night’s episode of America’s Next Top Model.

Cast members were asked to create a Snapchat message based upon tips from DJ Khaled.  This was a fun challenge allowing contestants to wear lingerie (in the street) and engage with their social media audience.

Conflict emerged between Binta and Courtney while creating their message. Courtney won the challenge; resulting in a surge of resentment from Binta.

The last photo challenge (during this episode) required contestants to attend a party hosted by Paper Magazine and tell a photo story.

Krislian shocked the judges with her editorial photos, stepping out of her comfort zone. There was also a visit from Jasmine Sanders, Instagram Socialite from @golden_barbie

Style Secrets To Steal From The Stars In 2017

Celebrity culture is more accessible than it has ever been. Now, we know what they have for breakfast thanks to entertainment news and social media. So, it’s much easier to get closer to leading a glamorous life, just like a celebrity.

If you’ve always wanted to feel like a celebrity or look like one, then today’s the day to make it happen. All you need is a few style secrets and you’ll be ready for the paparazzi’s.

Figure Hugging Fashion

Thanks to social media, one of the easiest ways to look and feel like a star, is to dress like them. The best way that celebrities show off their style is by wearing things that flatter their figures and make them feel good. Of course, some things will be more expensive than others, but you can find affordable options to dress like your favorite celebrities, especially when it comes to jeans.

Be Bold

When you look at celebrity style, one thing that you’ll probably notice is that it’s not always understated. Celebrities always wear what they want, when they want. They style fashion in their own way and nine times out of ten; it works for them. And that’s the best thing that you can take away from celebrity style. If you want to dress like them, then you need to tap into your inner confidence.

TV Style

We all have our favorite TV shows and a lot of the time; we can see things that people wear and fall absolutely in love with it. When that happens, more often than not, the brand that made the item will share it online or in the news. So, it’s easier than ever to recreate your favorite looks from shows using items from the brands you love, or even buy the exact items.

Model Off Duty

Another secret that you can steal from celebrities is that killer ‘model off duty’ look that famous models are known for wearing. Jeans, tees, boots, and a jacket and you’re good to go. It’s not even just something that models wear; celebs do it too. So if you ever feel like looking amazing with zero effort, opt for that, throw on some sunglasses are you’re good to go.

Beauty Bites

And how could we forget about the beauty secrets of celebrities? The entire look of a celebrity wouldn’t be complete without hair and makeup. We all look at celebrities and admire their hair and their makeup, and we can finally recreate their looks. You only have to look at Kim Kardashian to know how popular celebrity makeup has become. Not only can we now contour like a celebrity makeup artist, but we can also learn how to blow dry like a hairstylist to the stars too. So if you want to brush up on your skills, it’s time to head to YouTube and pick up a new trick or two.
