Getting Pampered at ARROJO Hair NYC

So I pretty much had the best experience at ARROJO hair salon in the West Village here in New York. I was in desperate need of a trim, layers, something. My hair was feeling limp and had grown to almost one length throughout. Luckily, I heard of ARROJO from my friends over at Rebecca Minkoff, and so booked an appointment. Instantly, I fell in love with the place. Everything from the wash (which was more like a head massage) to the final styling was so relaxing. My stylist, Emily Carroll, who I totally recommend to anyone in the city who needs a cut/color, gave me long layers and then styled my hair into loose, whimsical waves. The waves looked super natural, just my style! My hair feels super soft and lightweight now. Here are the products I just had to take home: the Thermal Hair Protector, Hair Repair Masque, and the Styling Whip! The stuff is GENIUS and pretty much saved my hair’s life! After my session, the ARROJO photographer snapped my portrait on the streets of NYC. What’s really cool is the salon actually displays photos of real people who have an influence in fashion, on the walls. It feels amazing to get to be one of them. I cannot wait to see what my portrait looks like on the wall next month! (Photography by David Ducane)

$200 Raven Denim GIVEAWAY!

The weekend is just around the corner and so I thought I’d host a very special giveaway with one of my favorite LA based denim brands, Raven Denim! As you know, I’m addicted to their Remy Jean in Aztec (as seen on me here in Central Park). The denim is super soft and doesn’t stretch out at all! I could wear them for weeks on end and still, they’d look hot. Okay, that’s a bit much, but you get what I mean! I’m so obsessed, I’ve even got an Olive pair being shipped to me right now. I know the different colored denim will work well into fall. I’m excited for one of you to get to receive a pair as well and take them on a test drive! You’ll quickly fall in love with this label.

The Perfect Summer Frock

(By Corpus dress, Volcom cargo jacket, 80%20 shoes, Sienna Ray bag, Mango sunglasses)

Living in NYC, I’ve become a mix and match master. Whether it be switching up shorts with blouses or skirts and crop tops, I’m always playing around with colors and proportions. It really just helps make my wardrobe feel fresh and fun. But the perfect summer frock makes life SO MUCH EASIER. I just left the house for a stroll down the Promenade and threw on this one simple piece, a little floral dress. It’s a relief sometimes not to worry about what to wear. I need more dresses in my life! This one’s got a perfect cut: small on the top with a sexy open back. It’s simplicity makes it a must have for whenever I just want to run out without the fuss. I seem to always throw in a little something completely unexpected into my looks as well. This time? My CREEPERS. Girly with a touch of punk! And if you haven’t noticed yet, this green Volcom cargo jacket goes with me everywhere and I know I’ll wear it deep into Fall. Erm, it’s dying for a wash…

Speaking of Volcom, I’m excited to announce that starting today my DAILY VIDEO SERIES featuring Volcom’s Fall ’11 collection is out now! Watch a new video for the next 7 days! Super fun, candid, and totally real. Watch them all on Volcomunity.com!
