Summer is behind us leaving its mane-damaging effects: sun exposure, dye jobs, chlorine, and let’s not forget—heating tools; you remember all the primping before summer soirees.
So as winter approaches I want to make sure you start the season on trend: Luscious hair in, dry, damaged hair out! Treat your tresses to some of the season's most restorative products. Here are some of my favorites that will leave your locks loving you!
Balmain has been one of the most coveted collections for the past few seasons, but of course you are already aware. And though these recessionary times don't permit us to dole out twelve thousand for leather moto jackets, accessories are usually the ticket into our idolized designers' worlds. Fortunately, Balmain designer Christophe Decarnin has issued many fetish-worthy footwear options that epitomize the rock-chic glam that has now become synonymous with Balmain.
If your budget isn't Balmain-friendly Report has got you covered with their Lyndon (criss-crossing multi-zippers) and Kechi (criss-crossing multi-buckle) boot options. Sans silver-tone hardware--brass buckles and zippers are used--both booties are exemplary selections for gaining rocker chic cred.
Trading style for warmth is no fun, especially when it comes to your favorite shoes--you know the ones: a little bit nice and a whole lot of naughty. Luckily, you can keep your fierce style in Proenza Schouler's open toe bootie with cutout heel by pairing with tights or ankle, thigh or knee socks and your toes and ensembles will thank you for your sartorial savvy.
However, agreeing with your level of fierceness doesn't mean a perfect pairing with your finances. If this is the case opt for Michael Antonio's nearly identical version--faux leather and sans sculpted heel--to keep your seasonal strut in step.
style is so personal . . . it is a visual extension of thoughts, feelings and moods, which is why it can change ever so subtly or in the most grandeur fashion and, when it is genuine, can never truly be wrong.
