NYFW 2013 - White Hot and parted down the middle!


And, another New York Fashion Week comes to a close, this time presenting Spring 2014…

White is hotter than ever, with several designers from Derek Lam and Ralph Rucci to Thakoon and Carolina Herrera showing the shade throughout their collections.

There also seems to be a strong '90s sportswear influence, as well as a nod to boyish tailoring and oversized, modern cuts.

Other highlights include crop tops, sheer fabrics, tons of metallic shine, vibrant tangerine lips and slick, middle-parted hair.

Did you follow fashion week? What were your favorites?

And the Award Goes To...


Now that the hype from the Golden Globes has simmered out a little bit, and with the Oscars just around the corner, we decided to talk about the really important stuff...RED CARPET HAIR!  There's much to love about the stunning look of A-list celebrities about to take home the gold - the clothes, the style, the man candy on their arm - but we all know one thing puts the whole look together and that is the hair.  So who's hair did you love?  Who's did you hate?  Check out some of our Golden Globe hair highlights below!

First of all, Anne Hathaway was rocking the pixie cut (perhaps in solidarity with her character in Les Mis?) and we loved it!  If there was ever a time you were contemplating this daring look - hop on it now because it is hot!

We also loved this "above the shoulder" bob for those of you going for a less dramatic new hair cut.  It's safe and super chic right now!


As far as style goes, we loved the simple yet sophisticated look of hair being pulled up away from the face.  It gives a formal feel to what could otherwise just be, well, kinda blah hair.  Bravo for you ladies (Adele, Julie Bowen and Julianne Hough) who did something different...you win the award for best "supporting hairspray".  




And then there were the styles that were simple and worth giving a go at home with the blow dryer.  These looks are not too daunting to try yourself so get at it!  For best "blow out" we have: Claire Danes and Hayden Panettiere.

The next look that we had to show is a beautiful look to mimmic if you are going out for the night on a hot date, going to prom, etc...however when you are at the GOLDEN GLOBES I would say it's pretty B-O-R-I-N-G!  Especially when you see it over and over and over and over and over on the red carpet!  Ugh.  Where is the originality?  For most "over-played" the award goes to:



And last, but certainly not least...she's got it all, up, loose, braids, glamor, chic, messy...we give you the Golden Globe achievement award for best hair:  by a long shot...Jennifer Lawrence!

MAN MAKEOVER!!!!!




Welcome to the Felix Design Studio's very first (and very successful I might add) MAN MAKEOVER!  

Above is our candidate, Jonny.  He's a pretty good looking guy, if your into the "I don't care what I look like and I haven't gotten a hair cut in over a year" kinda thing.  Look, we loved the beach bum look in the 80's (...wait, did we love it?), but it's time for an upgrade!  Welcome to 2012.  Who says men can't also get new "do"s (and we're thinking a Ryan Gosling style haircut would be nice)? Can just a haircut really help this guy out?  Well guess what everybody: a little time in Robin's chair can go a long way.   At least in Jonny's case, these before and after shots may have you pleasantly surprised!  Take a look for yourself and see the amazing transformation of the new and improved Jonny.  A man makeover at it's finest!

BEFORE




(yes, that is a pony tail)

SOME TIME IN THE CHAIR WITH ROBIN...




...add a little bit of Sojourn Sculpting Taffy...




And...(wait for it...)


AFTER




Looking smokin' Jonny!  Pretty good, huh?

Ladies, I KNOW you are looking at your husbands and wondering why they have looked the same for oh, the last, say, 10 YEARS?  I think it's time to bring our men back into the right decade, and coming up on the times means new hair, new look, new lifestyle!  Why not make it sexy!?  We're tired of men thinking "MOVEMBER" is a time to look especially hideous and stop grooming! So here's the scoop: bring your man into Felix Design Studio this month and mention the Man Makeover to get a discount on a men's haircut!  Bring in a fresh new look for the holidays!  Happy mancuts everybody!
