Pretty Simple :: Extended Engagement

Have any of you hopped on the clip-in extensions bandwagon? If this is your first time seeing them, you may be a teeny tiny bit jarred by the way these look, but ask anyone who’s given clip-in’s a try… they’re life-changers. Used to add length, thickness or both, it’s actually kind of amazing the difference they can […]

My Life, Styled :: Searching for Inspiration

As a stylist, it’s important that each of my projects has my unique, creative fingerprint on it. The same way Annie Leibowitz’s photography or Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture has a certain quality that is identifiable to each of them, I (Jen) always strive for my work to exude my own unique aesthetic. I’m currently knee […]

Pretty Simple :: Neat & Tidy

Moving into a new home with all new drawers and cabinets has me (Martha Lynn) on the hunt for creative ways to store all of my beauty supplies. In my experience, the more organized all of your fun tools are, the more likely you will use all of them! Find the space to put your […]

Pretty Simple :: In the Red

There isn’t anything more glamorous than a perfect set of red lips. When done right, a rouge pucker can glam up your look from daytime to evening and create a show stopping smile. If you’re like me (Martha Lynn), the countless products out there can be totally overwhelming, and fear of looking like a clown […]

My Life, Styled :: Very Vintage

The first time I (Jen) walked into Decades on Melrose, I was literally speechless. I was picking up a vintage Birkin that a client was purchasing from Cameron, the owner of Decades and the largest collector of Hermes in the world.  When I walked in, I was greeted by glass cases of vintage jewelry sandwiched between stacks of […]

Pretty Simple :: Costume Makeup

Halloween is almost upon us and for me (Martha Lynn) that means trying out some fun over-the-top makeup you may be too timid to try on a regular day. Makeup can be the cherry on top of an amazing costume or, in some cases, can be the costume all on it’s own! Click through for […]

My Life, Styled :: Halloween

Jen here, and I love the month of October! I’m fully on board with the changing weather, pumpkin-flavored everything, and of course Halloween!  Long before I was a stylist, there was nothing I loved more than putting together a creative costume. Come October 1st I would start counting down the days and scoping out the […]

Pretty Simple :: Nailed It!

Martha Lynn here, and just because the temperatures are dropping doesn’t mean we’re allowed to ignore our precious toes and fingernails! The fall nail trends I’ve been seeing lately are so much fun, and will leave you running to your favorite nail salon. I have to admit I was never a fan of nail art, […]

Pretty Simple :: Waterfall Twist

Did any of you have a go-to hairstyle growing up? In almost every childhood photo of me, my hair is done one of two ways: either in a fountain-like ponytail on the very top of my head, or a neatly pulled back half-ponytail (thanks, mom!) Nowadays I’m not the biggest fan of the half-up-half-down look, […]

My Life, Styled :: Creative Business

When I tell people that I’m a wardrobe stylist, a common reaction is, “Your job must be so fun!  Do you just go shopping all of the time?!” Oh how I wish the answer to that question was a whole hearted ‘Yes!‘ While there are really fun moments where I’m shopping in high-end designer boutiques or styling really […]
