Les Cheveux | 5 Products for Healthier Hair

Imagining that the Beverly Hills Hotel lounge is my private salle de bain.

Imagining that the Beverly Hills Hotel lounge is my private salle de bain.

I’ve spoken recently about one of my self-care goals for this year, which is improving the health of my hair. Mes cheveux always tends to feel drier in the winter months, and I’m always keen to mitigate unnecessary damage from years of coloring and styling.

I recently partnered with Nutrafol to improve the strength of my hair and promote growth from the inside out. Click here to save $60 on your first 3 month supply—using my code, GIFT20—and read on to discover the retail products I’m using right now for an extra boost of va va voom.

1. Nutrafol
Since collaborating with Nutrafol, I’ve been taking my daily supplements for the past few weeks and I’m already seeing less stray hair in the shower. Click here to read my previous post and learn more.

2. Revlon One-Step Volumizing Styler
One of my favorite Christmas presents, this has been a total game-changer—allowing me to dry and style my damp hair at the same time, without the need for a standard hair brush. It saves me so much time, the dense bristles actively de-tangle, and the ions leave my hair so smooth and silky. Plus, having tried the comparable—and way pricier—Dyson Air Wrap styler, I can honestly say that I much prefer this product.

3. The Dry Bar DETOX dry shampoo
I’ve honestly never been a big fan of dry shampoo, but after being gifted this Dry Bar version, I gave it a fair shot and now I’m officially hooked. The whipped mousse blends into my hair so much more easily than traditional dry powders and sprays, keeping my hair looking—and smelling—fresh in between washes, and cutting down on my hot tool use.

4. Olaplex Hair Perfector #3
My hair stylist always uses Olaplex products in between coloring and toning, so every few weeks I use this one as a leave-in conditioning treatment. To repair split ends with optimal results, work the product into damp hair, let it sit for ten minutes, and then rinse and shampoo.

5. Living Proof Restore Mask Treatment
I’m making an effort to use hair masks more often, and this brand makes one of the absolute best. The whole line uses clean ingredients, and is known to be a secret weapon for celeb fans like Jennifer Aniston.

OOTD: Crème et Cable Knit for Kids

It’s no secret that I love a monochromatic look, especially when it comes to winter whites.

My style tip of the day is: don’t be afraid to shop in the kids’ section if you’re petite like moi. Les vêtements pour les enfants (kids’ clothes) are often much more affordable and more fitted, if you prefer a cropped style or if adult sleeves are typically too long for you.

Believe it or not, this Zara classic cable-knit sweater was made for un garçon— translation: from the little boys’ department!

My Lucky Brand teddy coat is no longer available, but I’ve linked similar versions on my LiketoKnow.It page.

Bon Mardi, Happy Tuesday from chilly Boston!

OOTD: Le Manteau | My Strange Coat Addiction

unnamed-32.jpg

To be honest, the only thing I truly miss about the winter season—at least in the United States—are the coats. L’hiver—known to the English-speaking world as “winter”—in Europe is rather delightful, especially because of the lack of tourists. But, I digress.

I could live in a coat, even in the summertime, which I essentially did today, given that it’s 75 degrees F in Novembre here in Los Angeles, and will continue to be, probably until summer returns—although did it ever really leave?

Having grown up on the east coast, I still aim to dress with the season, if for no other reason than that I just love fashion.

Un manteau is the ultimate accessory, and this furry topper is a perfect example. A coat can add polish to an elegant ensemble, a touch of whimsy to a playful one, or have a balanced, sobering effect on an otherwise controversial look.

A coat can take on a personality of its own. It can be your best friend, strategically draping itself around your shape to conceal monthly bloat, or it can even be your wing-woman—flung off at just the right moment to make an entrance or to capture someone’s attention from across the room.

A coat can be everything a good outfit needs, and I have to say, I can’t get enough. They hang proudly in my closet like trophies, and like children, I can’t pick a favorite. Warm weather be damned, I will proudly parade them all season long.

Can you guess where this one is from? I’ll give you a hint: I will surely wear this coat Forever!

The Chic American Takes LA Fashion Week

Feeling a little bit fabulous on the red carpet at LAFW.

Feeling a little bit fabulous on the red carpet at LAFW.

It was an honor to be invited to sit second row at opening night of LA Fashion Week and see some of the hottest ready-to-wear collections of the year. This Chic Américaine channeled her inner Carrie Bradshaw and got up-close and personal with some serious haute couture—witnessing designs so fresh off the runway that they were, well, still on the runway, in fact.

Taking place on the showroom floor of the Petersen Automotive Museum amid a casual array of Porsches and Ferraris, a dazzling display of fashion kicked off the week-long series of runway shows, including a spectacular closing show by Peruvian visionary Noe Bernacelli, which was followed by a delightful black-tie reception.

Bring on round two!
