Hair Envy - Another serious case!?!?!?

Is it the color...the style...it's both! I couldn't cut and paste this picture on to our blog fast enough to share.

Have a fantastic weekend all! Violet and I are booked with weddings and trials all weekend long. Hope to get in a bit of relaxation time and some time to practice this hairstyle!

Featured Wedding - Misha & Geoff

Brooke Buchanan was so generous in sharing these images with us from Misha and Geoff's wedding at the phenomenal Claremont Hotel in Berkeley...and yes, it is phenominal! The weather was perfect and the bride, her mother and her bridesmaids couldn't have been any nicer to Violet and I.


Cute poses....

 Violet likes her hair spray...

 I love our director chair!

 Finished and ready to get married! 

Congratulations Misha and Geoff! Thank you for choosing two sisters from the Peninsula to be a part of your big day!

We are loving...Minka Kelly

We love when we see a perfect look come together! Minka Kelly is at the Spike TV Guy's Choice Awards looking amazing with her sleek honey colored locks and natural glam makeup. She used lighter shadows to highlight and contour and added a  black liner to define, and false lashes to finish it off.  A  tawny coral lip complemented  her cobalt blue dress. This is definitely a look to emulate on your wedding day or any day in in fact!

Featured Wedding - Caryn & Todd

We had the absolute pleasure of providing makeup and hair for Caryn's wedding day in wine country last month. Nicole Paulson did a phenomenal job documenting their day and we are so excited to share a sneak peek of a few images. Nicole has more on her blog, so click here for more stunning images. Did I mention she is super nice? Always an important trait when choosing a wedding photographer. They will be with you all day after all ;)

Red Carpet Beauty Review - MTV Movie Awards 2011

Last night's MTV Movie Awards brought out a lot of young starlets with relaxed casual hair and makeup which is perfect for this award show. My favs were Leighton Meester, her hair was straight but had a roundness to it to show off her amazing color! Her eyes were lined with a black liner and a beige cheek and lip to complement the rock and roll look. Selena Gomez has been looking so cute lately! I love her easy half-up hairstyle, with subtle volume and the long flowing locks. Her makeup is perfect for the evening by having her eyes lined with liquid liner and winged out at the corners for lift. Adding a pale pink shimmer gloss is the perfect companion for her look. And Mila Kunis, who never dissapoints, showed off her healthy, shiny hair by wearing it straight and sleek. Who doesn't want her hair! I love that all these ladies lined their eyes all around, it makes for a great looking evening eye without using lots of dark shadow along with it. xo, Violet

Happy birthday Norma Jean...

Today would have been Marilyn Monroe's 85th birthday! It's easy to remember since it is the same day as my dad's birthday. She was and still is a style icon! Just some prettiness to celebrate the day!
