Ombre' Hair... my new OBSESSION

If you have looked at any fashion magazine lately, chances are you are going to see some ombre hair.  It seems like every celeb and model whose hair isn't naturally blonde (read: almost all of them) have been wearing this type of color.  It looks as though your summery blonde has naturally grown out, but a lot healthier and glossier.  For someone who is naturally pretty dark at the roots, this is a great way to try out some lighter tones in your hair.  Rachel Bilson is one of my favorite "ombre" brondes.   The best part?  So low maintenance!

After I colored Sarah's hair on Tuesday, I couldn't stop looking at it!  I was obsessed!  She always lets me do whatever I want with her hair, and she didn't bat an eyelash as I piled on the foil.  Her hair turned out perfect, and it completely made my day to get to do something new and different.  It was inspiring!

Molly is my hair idol!

Right now, I am pretty obsessed with bangs. Or fringe, if you want to call it that.  My instructors at Toni and Guy would get so mad if we said it.  "Taylor, say FRINGE!! We don't BANG our clients!!"  ha, ha!  Well, whatever you wanna call it, this look is hot!  Molly always lets me do whatever I want... whether I am inspired by Gwyneth or Lady Gaga.  Just kidding!  I was inspired by Zooey Deschanel's perfect fringe, and pretty much everything Chloe, and this is what we came up with.  Love it!

more gorgeous girls!

Love it!!

Andrena has the most gorgeous hair, and we just added some thick fringe.  She looks amazing!

Best Moment Of 2009: President Barack Obama's Inauguration

On January 20th, 2009, Barack Obama was sworn in as the first African-American President of the United States of America. Our 44th President made history. Millions of people brave chilly Washington D.C. and millions more watch all over the world to be apart of this amazing historical event.

It was a magical weekend first kicked off with the concert with Beyonce, Mary J. Blige and many other all-stars honoring the president. They actually attended over 10 official Balls. Michelle Obama wore a gorgeous white one-shouldered applique Jason Wu dress.

I just thank God for allowing me to witness this once in a lifetime event. I cried for joy until I couldn't cry anymore.

I wish everyone a bless and safe New Year and I would like to thank all of my fabulous readers for their support. Remember to love fashion but never take it too seriously!

See you guys next year for all the stunning gowns on the red carpet and of course the foolishness on the red carpet!

Another year, gone.

And I begin to ponder the year that was.

From break-ups, to break-downs. To love found, and love muddled. Friendships blossomed and alight forever, and some lost forever. Jobs loved and lost. Thats for sure.

But for next year I am being told by every starsign I read that it will be my year for finance and career. I've never read that before, honestly.

So lets step ahead into the unknown. And have FUN!

Where is my lost love.

Hiding in the dark..

The end is nigh...

Of the year that is...

Waiting for my independence..

First Lady Michelle Obama is known for her impeccable style. Michelle looked amazing all year. Her favorite designer was definitely Parisian designer Azzedine Alaia which Naomi Campbell is his muse for many years.

She is confident and she knows what works for her. The First Lady has been criticize for showing her tone arms but if I had arms like hers, I would wear tank tops everyday!

Michelle O. is not stuffy nor boring. I remembered when I had my boutique upstairs from Van Cleef Hair Salon in 2003 where Michelle Obama got her hair done by her stylist for many years named Rahni Flowers that she would always try on unique and sexy pieces like Comme de Garcon and Barbara Bates(a local Chicago designer).

Not since Jackie Kennedy Onassis have I been intrigued by a First Lady stunning wardrobe.
