Wedding Day - Jamie

Some outstandingly beautiful shots of Jamie on her wedding day at The Carneros Inn. We have to say that Jamie was one of the calmest brides we have ever worked with. She was simply serene...well and simply stunning of course!

We had the best time getting to know Jaime and her amazing family! Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your day Jamie!

We dolls just love a wavy look on our tresses! You ask, "How do all the celebs get their hair like that"? Well there is an amazing curling iron that makes it so easy to achieve!  With the Enzo Milano Clipless Iron, basically you wrap the hair around the iron barrel instead of clamping it as with a conventional curling iron.  On Enzo Milano's site, there are tutorials on how to achieve this glamorous look. All you need is the iron, a great medium hold with shine hairspray (we love Bumble&Bumble Spray De Mode) and a boar bristle brush. Once you have curled your hair, give it a good spray, brush softly and voila! There are many versitile looks that you can create with this tool and that's why we give it the Dolls stamp of approval! xo, The Dolls

Fabulous Finds - Stila # 33 One Step Complexion Brush - NEW!

Stila has just launched their new fall collection and one of the standout favorites is the new #33 One Step Complexion Brush. We really love the way foundation brushes apply product and this brush has the added bonus of a concealer brush on the other end! Wouldn't this brush be perfect for your gym bag, as one less brush to pack for that weekend getaway and for every day ease? Here is what Stila has to say....

"This dual-ended foundation and concealer brush allows you to blend both liquid and powder products seamlessly for effortless makeup application and a flawless finish.
One side beautifully blends liquid, creams and powder foundation into your skin, while the other delivers precision concealing for a perfected, polished complexion.
The synthetic bristles are shaped to imitate application with your fingertips, but are firmer and more flexible for quicker, easier makeup application.

• The tapered brush tip can burrow into tiny, hard-to-reach crevice
• Synthetic bristles eliminate the transfer of oils and bacteria
• Can also be used to apply eye shadow and cheek color

This brush does double-duty! There is no need to carry a whole brush set anymore, a flawless complexion (and color) can be achieved with just one brush!"
