Review: HANA Professional Pink Flat Iron

It's like Misikko.com knew my natural curls are back with a vengance and driving me bonkers. 

They reached out a few weeks ago and offered to gift me with their top rated flatiron: the HANA Professional Pink Flat Iron. A $205 value, now on sale for $119. Such a lucky ducky I am.

Gave the pretty in pink flatiron a whirl before my NYC trip. Needed to know my hair would withstand the "wintery mix" forecast. Was amazed at how easy the iron was to grip and glide through my hair. Love how you can vary the heat settings to minimize damage. Something about the placement of the plates also makes it easy to curl your ends and avoid the tell-tale flatironed-fright-wig-straight-ends look.  And did I mention how much I love that the flatiron, cord and case are all pink like a vagina!

Best of all: the results were flawless. Straight, shiny, swingy perfection.

 

For extra amazing results, my pretties, I recommend using John Frida's 3 Day Straight spray before you flat iron. The combination of the two made my hair stick straight even in the NYC sleet (YES, SLEET!)

Make sure to check out Misikko.com if you need a hair iron, Tourmaline hair dryer, or any curling irons. And stay tuned, I'm trying to get them to give me a second flatiron...to give away to one lucky reader.

kiss and good hair to you all!

Fashion Diary: A Weak Week of Outfits

So it took three months but it's finally happened. I've gotten horribly behind on blogging. I'm in NYC right now for work---having a blast but working like a mad woman.

But I miss me some blogging. So here's a recap. Of a few outfits. For your fashion hump day pleasure. Kiss.

Monday, March 14

LA Fashion Week Show. Billed as a masquerade. Too ghetto for words.




Best part about it was that Bridget from the Girls Next Door got tricked and showed up too. That's her fourth from the left in the front row.



Can't believe I dragged tiny Miss JordyPants and her sequin to it. Mortified. Hope she'll forgive and mostly FORGET.



Oh and did I mention, I managed to fall in my 5 inch YSLs? Ugh. I'm so old.



At least I loved my dress.



Lanvin helps take the loser sting out of a busted night...and ankle.




Tuesday, March 15


Flats today. Wasn't taking any chances




Debuted a new Forever 21 find. $14 skirt. Reminds me of Tibi.




Toned it down with work seperates. Next time it will look cuter. I promise.



Not as cute as my mom eating little pies at Simplethings. But close.



After dinner, we peeped in the window at Alexis Bittar and SAW THIS! Scare me. Don't plan on going in that store anytime soon.




Even though the jewelry c'est moi!




I want



One of the rings in particular reminded me of a ring I own




So on Wednesday, March 16, I built my outfit around it.



The dress, jacket and earrings are all Forever 21



Look tres fance with the Fendi wedges and LV neverfull



But my fave part of the outfit is the pear lining of the jacket. Delish.



Almost as the delish cupcakes I polished off at work on Thursday, March 17
for St. Patrick's Day




Wore the same dress from Sunday. Except paired it with green.




Love me some green and navy




Make that blingy green with navy




Blingy Marc Jacobs green specifically




Worst part of the outft: my natural curls





They're baaaaaaaaaaaaaack. Be afraid.

The Commentary

Started the day with my favorite boy and pancakes.

And ended it with my favorite mommy and cheese plate.

Donned my fave new dress. From H&M. $40

The little fluttery appliques make me BANANAS happy. They move and flit and feel like feathers. Remind me of Valentino, Chanel, Burberry and Marchessa.

That's why I got it in cream too.

p.s. This is what my stairway to heaven looks like. Chanel heaven.

The Commentary

Relaxing day soaking up Mr. Diabolina. Did some flower mart-ing, hogging, spa-ing, shopping, drinking, laughing, tanning and a few more -ings.

Threw this truck driver meets cowboy with a dash of Alexa Chung look together. Finally sacked up and tried my hand at denim on denim.

Ashley Greene's to blame. Was inspired by her simple, casual look. Realized mixing denims can look chic and pulled together. It's really about the shapes and pairing the head to toe denim with luxe accessories. 

Now if only I could get my hair as sleek as hers, I'd be twilight-rrific.
