Backstage with Aveda at Christian Siriano

September 10th, 2010 by Ruth

I had the incredible opportunity to attend backstage with my client Aveda at Christian Siriano’s show. With hairstyles carefully crafted from Aveda’s Creative Director, Antoinette Beenders, the Aveda team worked with Christian to bring his hair inspiration to life, the neck of a giraffe.

Carefully marrying dual textures, Antoinette and her team worked with hidden crimped hair and smooth braids and slicked side hair to create the “tribal bun”. The look was completed by the skilled hands of Victoria’s Secret makeup artists.

Perfect Pairing at JcPenney’s.

August 21st, 2009 by Ruth

One of the best things my mother ever taught me was to scour the racks at JCPenney. I grew up with the notion that steals and deals are right under my nose in this oldie but goodie – and boy, was she right! 

Similar to Karl Lagerfeld, Matthew Williamson, Christian Siriano and other savvy designers, Charlotte Ronson made her chic designs available to a wider audience by pairing with Penney’s. Offering an edgy, flirty, and sophisticated look, the I HEART Ronson collection embodies the essence of a chic, downtown, city woman.

Easily interchangeable with your current wardrobe, the collection features tees, knit tops, blouses, sweaters, jeans, skirts, dresses, and jackets. Ranging from $15 for tees to $40-$65 for dresses and jackets, you can scoop them all up here.
