Whatcha Wearin’ Wednesday, BF? Foreign Exchange We Wear Pink Long Sleeved Shirt

You know how I know I have to have somethin’? When I see a pic briefly on Instagram and CANNOT stop thinking about it.

This was the case with FE Wednesdays We Wear Pink long sleeved shirt ($22).

Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday? Nalukai Pink Rose Quartz Beaded Bracelet benefitting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation

I, quite literally, wear my heart on my sleeve. I’m proud of this and – to be honest – in a city like Los Angeles, it definitely helps set me apart from the crowd.
So when I can adorn my heart-laden arm with jewelry that is also full of heart, it makes my heart soooo happy!

Whatcha' Wearin' Wednesday: Nalukai Pretty in Pink Collection benefitting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation

That’s why I am so proud to present today’s Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday featuring one of my all-time favorite jewelry lines, Nalukai.
The Nalukai Collection, developed by designer, Tricia McCarthy, introduced her “Pretty in Pink” collection to some fellow tastemakers and myself a few weeks ago at a girl power-filled dinner at The London West Hollywood. The collection was created to honor Breast Cancer Survivors and proceeds benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Personally inspired by Tricia’s sister-in-law, Laura, ‘the original’ Nalukai (a Hawaiian word that means a wise soul who has weathered life’s storms), and her two-time successful battle with breast cancer, Nalukai Collection celebrates each person’s unique story and journey by providing the finest & most fabulous hand-crafted jewelry. Quite mindfully, each piece in the Nalukai Collection will never be identical, just as no two people are. “I created the “Pretty in Pink” collection as a symbol of inspiration and courage so the wearer has a constant reminder of love and support no matter what they are going through,” says Designer, Tricia McCarthy. “The spirit and essence of Nalukai is to give back and encourage individuals to tell their personal stories through jewelry with pride.”
To hear Laura’s incredible two-time breast cancer survival story, watch this video: http://www.nalukaicollection.com/blogs/true-nalukai
My favorite – and the one you will see me wearing all month long is the Pink Rose Quartz Beaded Bracelet ($300) a 7” Believe in Pink bracelet made with 8mm stone beads and adorned with two rose gold charms in Believe and Stand Strong in the Wind. Such a good reminder to have on my wrist every day.

A reminder on my wrist: Nalukai Pretty in Pink "Believe in Pink" Bracelet

I am so proud to support breast cancer survivors and breast cancer research funding as 50% of the net proceeds from this bracelet are donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
What could be more beautiful than that? Yep, I believe in pink. I’m a big believer.
Now, go get yourself a bracelet and feel good about it!

Believe in Pink - and believe in a cure for Breast Cancer

xoxo,
BF

Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday, Milissa S.? Stila Color Balm Lipstick in Betsey at Joie

A few weeks ago, I had a doozy of a day. Don’t get me wrong it was an amaaaaazing, unbelievably productive day – what with a shoot and 3 events to attend that evening.

The stage for the evening was set with the first event I attended at the oh-so-fashionable Joie on Melrose. The champagne was flowing, chocolate delicacies were being passed around and – lucky for me -there were Stila makeup touchups and Kristie Streicher feathered brow shapings going on!

Getting the "feathered brow" from the Kristie Streicher brow goddesses

Perfect to prep me pretty for a busy fun – yet working – evening out!

In the midst of all this, I spotted this gorgeous girl with perfectly shaped, feathered brows wearing the perfect summer raspberry lipcolor. A double Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday opportunity!!

Actress - and our WWW girl - Milissa S. sporting a sweet summer raspberry lip - the perfect pop for a Hollywood summer night

So you know what I had to ask!!

BF: I love your lipcolor! I love your brows! I’m Dawn by the way. What’s your name?

WWW: Milissa S.

BF: Well, Milissa S., I gotta ask ya – Whatcha’ Wearin’? And who did your brows?

WWW:Kristie Streicher and her team did my brows, of course! And the lipcolor is Stila Color Balm Lipstick in Betsey. I love it!

Our WWW girl, Milissa S., wearing Stila Color Balm Lipstick in Betsey

BF: Well, we do too! I can’t wait to try Stila Color Balm Lipstick for myself! And after hearing who shaped her gorgeous brows, I sat right down for a feathered brow shape-up with the Kristie Streicher brow goddesses! And I was pleased as punch with the results!

Milissa S. and I with our fabulously feathered brows from the brow goddessed - Kristie Streicher and team!

And – I have to add – I just barely avoided going home with this new friend.

Coveting: This Joie Kennedy Tote handbag in Daphne blue

I tried to be responsible, beauties. I really did. But I keep dreaming about this Joie Kennedy Tote handbag ($158). Oh, what to do!? Looks like it’s time to start a very important letter.

Dear Santa….

Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday, KT? Lorac Sheer Wash in Sheer Luck Pure Chance

My pilates teacher at Whole Body Method, KT, is cool. Like waaaaay cool. Like hangin’ out at music festivals, being a music supervisor and being able to flexibly squat on the floor for hours-cool.

Whatcha' Wearin', KT?

So when she showed up at a recent session with this oh-so-natural and just-enough-of-a-hint-of-a-color lip stain, I had to ask her: “KT, whatcha’ wearin’?”

The answer? Lorac Sheer Wash in Sheer Luck Pure Chance.

Lorac Sheer Wash in Pure Luck Pure Chance

A gorgeous subtle fuchsia that looks like your natural lip color, it glides on effortlessly and stays on for hours. Just what my pretty, perfect and poignant pilates teacher needs! After all, she’s got me as a student so we do A LOT of yammerin’!

Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday, Stacey J?

Makeup was the last thing I was thinking about when I walked into my agent’s office last week for an audition. I had a way-too-fun night the night before at the El Rey for The Mavericks’ show with my friend, director Trey Fanjoy who was in town from Nashville. Her love, Eddie, is their dynamo lead guitarist and they brought the americana rock to LA. My head was a bit cloudy and champagne was still swilling in my post-Conga-line brain. Yes, you read that right. We conga-lined through the El Rey. I would say the audience was less than pleased with this. But we had FUN!!

So when I walked into AVO and saw the lovely Stacey J. whip out a lip color to reapply, I wasn’t really thinking about Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday. But when she glided on the punchy pink color, no amount of conga brain could keep me from asking, Whatcha’ Wearin’, Stacey J?

Whatcha' Wearin', Stacey J?

WWW Stacey J: It’s Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch. I buy them in spades whenever I can. It’s my go-to lip color of choice!

The scoop? Maybelline New York's Baby Lips in Pink Punch

BF: Well, I can see why!! It’s gorge!! Would you be willing to be my WWW girl?

 

WWW Stacey J: Absolutely!!

And how could she not be, beauties, with this lovely lip look?

If you want to look polished and pretty with a punchy, pink lip like Stacey J, check out Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch. It’ll perk up even the most champagne-hazed face!

Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday: Target Exclusive Revlon Twist to Crimping Iron

There are those moments in life when a girl just needs…

A CRIMPER!!

 

Yes, you read that correctly, beauties. I had the chance to try this Target Exclusive Revlon Twist to Crimping Iron ($39.99) a few months ago but no opportunity really rose to the occasion of crimping. Fast-forward to this past weekend and it was time to crimp and shine! Why, you ask? Because I, my dudes and dudettes, had an 80s prom fundraiser to attend. Totally awesome!

 

Fingerless hot pink gloves! Corsages! Glitter liner! Blue shadow! Pink gloss! Oh my! Did someone say "80s prom?"

 

My hair is naturally curly, and currently has a keratin treatment, so I usually wear it straight. Fine and straight. So imagine my surprise that, with this crimper, my hair went from fine to FIERCE!!

Fierce Crimped hair...and a BIG bow!

80s crazy & crimped!

 

And who knew a crimper could add all that volume and lift? I haven’t seen anything like that before. Well, I had but it was when I was in 6th grade with my naturally curly hair that I used to pray would straighten overnight. Well, now my wish has come true and I am left longing for the volume I once had.

I should have known though. I had my hair done once on a shoot where they crimped the pieces underneath and blew out the top pieces. I was absolutely terrified…until I saw the end result. My hair had more volume and height -all because of the secret weapon we call crimper? Who knew?

The only thing, after this transforming crimping experience, was that it was so convincingly converted into crimped that I worried that it would never go back to fine and straight. Guess what? It did. Back to healthy, shiny and remarkably boring hair with just a wash.

Great for an 80s party, for kids hair or for just a little boost in volume, Target Exclusive Revlon Twist to Crimping Iron is crucial to have!

Well, I can’t help you with the first 4 of those but I am here with the “how-to” on how to achieve her Oscars red carpet look!

Achieve her gorgeous look at home on your own gorgeous face!
