Hair Obsession Brewing: John Barrett Salon's Braid Bar

As a Leo, my obsession with my MANE runs deep. To reiterate that point (and perhaps I shouldn't admit this), there are days that I LITERALLY look in the mirror and wonder, "Is my hair shiny ENOUGH?" or "Is my hair BROWN enough?" Yes, friends, it's Deep Thought Central over here. But I digress.

Today, I hit the It Gets Better Lounge at the Empire Hotel (Chuck Bass, where are you?), where luxe New York staple the John Barrett Salon (familiar with the term "Bergdorf blondes?" Blame John Barrett) had set up shop, delivering deliciously chic braids to lucky attendees of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Stylist Halli helped me choose the perfect style for MOI, from a book chock full of choices. Apparently, the Milkmaid braid I chose works particularly well on gals with distinct bangs - it acts as a headband, visually framing the face.

As you can imagine, I'm beyond OBSESSED wtih my hairz, and keep admiring myself in all available mirrors, windows, doors and the like. If you'd like to experience John Barrett's Braid Bar, you can learn more or book an appointment online here.

Do's range from $45-$65 (cheaper than a blowout!), and last most gals 2-3 days.

Haul of the Day: Elizabeth and James Tokyo Chiffon Blouse

As I love to say, the fatter I get, the more I like leggings. So, while I'm busy avoiding Physique 57 and Core Fusion (seriously, it's TERRIFYING. Save me.) workouts with the girls, I'm taking the time to stock up on tunic-y tops that pair well with leggings, a la the little Elizabeth and James number above.

This gorgeous silk chiffon blouse has just the right amount of embellishment (read: almost too much) and I dig it.

I'm envisioning this beauty paired with a skinny dark denim jean or, of course, the aforementioned leggings. I'll be sure to post an outfit once it arrives, so do stay tuned.
