A couple months ago I bought a Groupon for Drybar, which is a salon in LA that washes, shampoos, blow drys and styles your hair. Basically everything but the cut. I was saving it to use for a special occasion and since I was too late to book for New Years Eve I decided to do it for our early Valentine's Day dinner on Saturday night. I'm not that good at hair but when I'm feeling a little fancy schmancy I like curl it with a curling iron. The problem is that it takes forever and I always mess up the bangs area. Do you flip out, flip under, leave them how they are? I have no clue. So it was especially nice to just show up and have a stylist do it for me. If only I could have someone do my hair every day!

I love getting dressed up for nights out with my fiance! Whoops almost wrote boyfriend. I'm going to have to get used to a whole new term in a few months! It's crazy how quickly time is going by. eek!
Hope you all have a happy Thursday!
Love how they styled your curls! I wish I had a hair stylist with me everyday as well, ha! The outfit is really cute :) x

i love the curls!! so cute! and your skirt!!
ReplyDeletelove it! very soft, which is perfect for Valentines day.
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty! But you know, I feel like your hair always looks about that way when you curl it, so you must be doing a pretty good job! I only recently learned how to give myself a proper blowout (I know, at 22? embarrassing), but I'm addicted--I have to put aside 45 additional minutes every morning. With the bangs, I use a big brush and curl them back toward the back of my head, blow-dry them, then curl them under toward my forehead, and they fall really prettily.
ReplyDeleteI love how they did your hair, but I especially love your outfit! The softness of the ruffles in both pieces and the soft colors is soooo romantic. Beautiful!

ReplyDeleteYour hair looks great wavy or straight or curly.
ReplyDeleteI got a blow-out last week for my grad pics and it was fabulous!! I wish I could afford to do it all the time too!
ReplyDeleteLove the hair! isn't it amazing what some people can do with hair? I'm clueless too when it comes to hair. I'm so excited to get my hair done for the wedding. and for my trial! AHHHH!!!! I'll be in the salon with about 5 different hair piece options trying to narrow down what I want to wear in my hair!

You look lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI got married after 10 year of relation, you can't imagine how hard was for me to get used to the "husband" word LOL. I kept saying my boyfriend, I married at summer of 2008 and now I finally say husband without needing to think about it ;)
Kisses.
Oooh you look gorgeous!!!! I love the hair, they did a good job :)

ReplyDeleteyou are sooo beautiful sweetie!! i LOVE your skirt, belt and shoes!! and your hair is soo pretty!!
ReplyDeleteI would love a professional hair/make up/style team to get me ready every day. I'd have no problem letting them make me over - usually I throw on whatever I can find (I get up at 5am) and throw my hair in a bun as I run for the train. Not so glamorous, ha!

I wish you'd be my fashion consultant. No jokes. I'd listen to you, no questions asked!
ReplyDeletei am counting down the days until the dry bar comes to the east coast! i want to try all of their styles! you look amazing. i'm especially loving the belt.
ReplyDeleteFirst and foremost, your hair couldn't look more perfect here. second your outfit is so perfect. i love the femininity, it suits you so well
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks amazing! I love they way they styled your bangs. ANd I agree, if I could have someone do my hair and make-up every day I'd be so happy (oh and a massage too!). Is that your natural hair color? It is so pretty, Mara.
ReplyDeletexo Marcie
your hair looks seriously awesome.

ReplyDeleteYour hair looks FANTASTIC! I've always wanted waves like that, but I don't have the skill... have you considered a body wave? I'm thinking about getting one this summer in the hopes of semi-permanent waves!
