PFMs Do It Better: Fighting Frizz!


Do you fear frizz and bad hair days? Are you tired of the rainy humid weather that we've been having for the past two weeks? Ladies (and gents) you are not alone...I give you two solutions for fighting frizz: my savior and my go-to.
 
Lately I've been getting well acquainted with Oribe Impermeable Anti-Humidity Spray. I discovered this stuff during my trip to the Whittemore House Salon. The stylists are big fans of this line over there, and now I'm addicted too! This spray is perfect for keeping my fringe under control- a major plus for us gals with bangs. So far I've put a few different hairstyles to the test (loose natural waves, messy side bun, and a deep side sweep with flat iron) that ended up staying relatively frizz-free and not at all greasy. Yay! I highly recommend it although a bit pricey. You won't really be using this every day,  just as your savior from heat and humidity...boy do I see a bunch of those days in our near future.

When in doubt this spring and summer, grab a silk scarf and tie it around your head into a bow or wrap it turban-style. A bright color and pretty print will step up your outfit and let you embrace any unsightly frizz. Simple as that. My go-to collection of vintage silk scarves keeps growing every year. But I don't have a polka dot version just yet...!!!

So what do you use for frizz protection?

Daily Outifit: Disco Plum













did you ever wonder what it was like to be part of the disco era?  i have!! from the music to the fashion, i've always been drawn to it.  the pics i've seen from this time in fashion always makes me wish i grew up then.  everyone dressed to the nines!!  it was a time when glamour wasn't reserved for special occasions -- it was a way of life!  i especially loved the accessories from that time period - fabulous earrings, scarves galore, statement hats and killer footwear.  despite the fact that i am a baby of the late '70s, i still feel like that fashion courses through my veins.  

my outfit today is totally '70s disco inspired.  my vintage purple leather goes perfectly with my flare jeans.  (i guess fashion was also feeling nostalgic because both flare jeans and scarves made a resurgence on runways recently.)   my super glam accessories brought the look together and kept it modern vintage.  i feel like these pics could have been taken back in 1977!
