Fall Forward

by Jillian Wilkey on August 21, 2010

It’s that time of year again- Fall fashion is in full effect!

Autumn is my favorite season for many reasons: I like crunching leaves, Halloween is my favorite holiday and I have an excuse to buy a new coat!

Here are some looks from some of my favorite designers and their Autumn/Winter Collections:

1. Orla Kiely

I only recently discovered Orla Kiely designs on a mission to find a “Betty Draper” dress. Though the clothing is more “Audrey Hepburn” than “Betty Draper”. The entire collection is perfection!

2. Erin Fetherston

These looks are actually from her Resort 2011 collection. The thing about Erin Fetherston is (A) It’s way out of my price range and (B) I can never find it anywhere. These are clothes that I just drool over. I need a boater hat!

3. Dear Creatures

I plan on wearing everything in this collection. It’s Nancy Drew meets sailor. Love it!

O Negative, Please.

by Jillian Wilkey on August 14, 2010

There are only a few shows on television that I HAVE to watch. Most of my spare time I try to avoid being plugged in front of the tube for too long, but with HBO’s True Blood, I will indulge whenever and wherever.

No. Words. This show is highly addictive. Be warned! Also, not for the faint of heart. In addition to the show being absolutely fantastic, the entire cast has great hair!

The leading ladies of True Blood perfect effortless curls! To re-create a look like this, I use Kevin Murphy’s Heated.Defence (for some extra volume and heat protecting) and some rollers (mine are from Con Air). I spray my Heated.Defence on the section of hair right before I am about to put my curler in and work it through a little bit with my fingers. I then roll my hair from the bottom up, curling in. I let the rollers sit until they are completley cooled. I finish with my favorite hairspray by Kevin Murphy and Voila! Sookie Stackhouse would be jealous.

Stay Tuned for next week- I’ll share on another one of my favorite shows- Mad Men!

Red

by Jillian Wilkey August 6, 2010

I must admit, that I am partial to red hair. In honor of the hue, here is a list of my top 10 favorite redheads:

10. Ginger Spice
I was never huge on the Spice Girls train, but Ginger Spice packs a lot of girl power! Perhaps it was Geri Halliwell that pioneered the redhead image as [...]

Jam Hands!

by Jillian Wilkey July 16, 2010

For those of you that don’t know, I am an avid baker outside of the salon.
I am also a jam enthusiast. As a side note, may I recommend the jam tasting available at the Swanton Berry Farm in Davenport. A favorite of mine being there pecan scones with ollalieberry jam. Wow.
Back to baking, I decided [...]

For Those About to Rock…

by Jillian Wilkey July 14, 2010

We salute you.
For a gal that usually wears nothing on her nails (or shall I say used to), I have entered the world of rock stars with something as sparkly as it gets. These nails get me stopped nearly every place I go. This is the Rock Star Nail over my natural nails, with a [...]

Parisian Delight

by Jillian Wilkey February 19, 2010

I have not been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel out of the country yet. This doesn’t stop me from dreaming of sidewalk cafe’s, baskets of macaron’s and entire days filled with espresso and good conversation.
I have had the delight of joining my darling friend, Megan, to a place close to home called [...]

Zsa Zsa

by Jillian Wilkey January 23, 2010

I have fallen in love with a pair of shoes. A beautiful, shiny, red pair of shoes by Finnish shoe and handbag designer Minna Parikka.
The “Zsa Zsa Red” is a leather pump with two straps and a Swarovski crystal decorated bow.
Click on the shoe and check out her web boutique!
One day, they will be mine…
