Fun with Felt
/I keep seeing some awesome felt jewelry and other fun trinkets that I thought the fabric deserved a blog post. Felt is a non-woven cloth that is produced by matting and pressing fibers. It can come in any color and be made into any shape. It is the OLDEST form of fabric known to humankind. Can you believe it?!

Men's Fashion
/It has been awhile since I posted something about menswear, so this is for all of the fellas. Need Supply Co. is a store in Virginia that has a collection of fashionable clothing from all sorts of labels like Marc by Marc Jacobs, Joes, Earnest Sewn, Goorin Brothers, etc. For all of us that don't live in Virginia, you can enjoy their great selection via their website. Their prices are fairly reasonable, but I'd definitely focus on their sale section. Here are some of my favorites for all of you dudes out there...
Dry Shampoo is Better
/
Everyone that is reading this needs to try dry shampoo! After talking to both my colorist and my hair stylist, I have been convinced to start incorporating dry shampoo into my routine and I love it! Washing your hair every day, for those that have oily hair, can actually cause your scalp to produce more oil, and if you have color treated hair, every time you wash your hair your color fades slightly and dries your ends. Using dry shampoo saves time because you don't have to re-style or blow dry you hair daily, helps keep your hair healthy and gives youmore texture and volume to play with. Here are some product recommendations...Ojon Run Out Dry Cleanser - I use this product on my hair. Just shake and spray your roots while holding the can a couple inches away. Then just rub your roots to work in the product. It smells super yummy too! $24.00
Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo Spray - Most of the reviews on dry shampoo that I've read have recommended this product. I have yet to try, but probably will next time around. $21.00
TIGI's Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo - This dry shampoo comes recommended by my hair stylist. She uses it all of the time and this girl has amazing volume to her hair.
Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion - This product isn't a spray. It a powder that you can either liquify and put in your wet hair to create volume or you can leave as a powder and sprinkle at your roots for great second day hair. It has Aveda's signature scent that will last all day in your hair and it's better on the environment because it doesn't come in an aerosol can.
Bumble & Bumble Hair Powder - This product is different from the other because the spray is colored to avoid having to worry about rubbing white powder all of the way through. Just choose the spray that matches your hair and you're set. The only downside to this product is that it costs $35.00 for only 4 ounces. eek!
Psssssst Instant Spray Shampoo - My friend Promise loves this product. It only costs $4.00 at CVS! She feels like it works just as well as TIGI's Rockaholic. I think I might check this out pretty soon. I know my wallet will thank me for sure!






Ban.Do
/I saw this hair accessory company on another blog, Oh Joy!, and I thought I'd share it with you guys. They make some pretty incredible pieces. In general, I think they are over priced, but you can get some great ideas from Ban.Do.
Ban.Do was started by two California stylists, Jen and Jamie. They began creating one-of-a-kind, vintage pieces, but now that they've become more popular their accessories are "vintage inspired." Check 'em out! Got any favorites? Too much for you?
