A big celebration with the whole GJ family in one building? YES, of course I'll be there. An awesome light show, hair demonstrations and award recognitions were pretty great.

Being apart of this company, Ive learned a lot about this industry-the good and the bad. Plus I've made so many relationships with other stylists from all the involvement I've had with the company that I consider people I look up to with their energy, passion and their love for what we do as STYLISTS.

LONDON, PARIS, NEW YORK OPPORTUNITIES? YASH, I hope my hard work pays off where I get picked and sent off to the opportunities.

STYLE DETAILS:

MY BANGS: I am currently growing out my bangs and honestly, I wish they were a little bit longer with this side part style because they were SO HARD to keep it parted on one side. TAKE NOTE: If it won't stay after trying everything, change it. What I should of done was parted my bangs not so far.
MY LBD ( Little Black Dress): When shopping, I USUALLY shop online and shop ON SALE. This dress is from MISSGUIDED.com and was only around $30.
HEELS: Steve Madden $98 (my souvenir from my Vegas trip)
NECKLACE: a little GLITZ never hurts and its from ZARA for $10 on SALE
FAUX FUR JACKET: When it comes to evening events, its always good to add a mix of texture like leopard (VERY IN THIS SEASON, EVEN FOR SPRING)

Working with new creatives is ALWAYS a hit or miss. But... working with NINETHIRTYCREATIVE and Elizabeth Kathryn definitely was a pleasure. You can totally tell how passionate a person is about what they do with how they work. We all have the same goal, which is to dream and create a version of art.

3. SCULPTING SHAPE. Using DOES IT ALL HAIR SPRAY for a light hold as you comb out your curl set, for your shape to match the models features and PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to the bang area.

4. FINISHING TOUCH. Once the hair is shaped, spray a little SHINE SPRAY to put the whole look together.

2nd LOOK:

1. CHANGING THE STYLE. Using a paddle brush rebuild the shape with more body with LACING AND BACKCOMBING areas its needed to create more of a textured look.

2. TIP: using bumble and bumbles white powder spray removes the shine and gives a automatic textured effect.
