Pretty Plumes

When I arrived at the studio this AM there was a special delivery (from NYC) at my door...A box full of pretty hats from Christine A. Moore Millinery!  I have been eagerly anticipating their arrival in preparation for an upcoming, vintage-inspired photo shoot. Her fabulous hats have recently been featured in the October 2011 issue of InStyle (on Katy Perry) and on J.Lo in the September 2011 "Style Issue" of Vanity Fair.  Of course, we had to take a minute to play dress up, mad hatter style...

Gotta love this job!

GAT Beauty Buzz - Ombre Nails

Welcome to the GIRL ABOU TOWN (GAT) Beauty Buzz!

Staying true to the tagline "DRESSING people, parties AND places," 

I thought it only fitting to discuss a few beauty trends from time-to-time... 

As you can see, I am still obsessing over the whole ombre trend (in fashion, beauty and even here) so I asked Kelsey (one of our design interns) to put together a quick tutorial for Ombre Nails. 

Now you too can get this look every day!

            

Step # 1:  Chose two of your favorite nail polish colors. Here we show Essie's Cocktail Bling and Bobbing for Baubles

Step # 2:  Paint a base coat of clear polish followed by your first color choice.

Step # 3:  Place a small dot of the second color on a piece of paper or velum.

Step # 4:  Use a make-up sponge to blot the second color on the tips of your nails, and gradually work the sponge towards your cuticles.

Step # 5:  Paint a top coat with your clear polish.  

Step # 6:  Repeat on your second hand and enjoy!

Charm City Style - Break Time

Busy day on Friday, gathering items for a photo shoot later this month and pretty wrapping supplies 

for the GAT (GIRL ABOUT TOWN's) upcoming "Gift Wrapping Guide."  

I decided to take a short coffee break (hot chocolate for me!) and read The New York Times (Arts Section) before checking more things off my running "to do" list...

Forever21 jersey dress, black leggings from Nordstrom, belt Linea Pelle, boots by Fanylrobin, 

gold cuff (gift), scarf by DVF, earrings found at Anthropologie
