AG|Hair

  Woman Leading Change

 

Fighting frizzy hair is not usually accompanied with combating the lack of education in the poorest sub-Saharan African regions, unless you are Lotte and John Davis of AG| hair. The couple has been making hair products together since 1989, starting in Vancouver filling bottles of products together by hand. The business has since taken off, enabling Lotte to fund this truly amazing woman’s school building project, Woman Leading Change.

 I met Lotte Davis last week atop the Nomad Hotel for an intimate press breakfast. She explained over locks and fresh fruit, how growing up in South Africa during the Apartheid shaped her beliefs on racism, woman’s education, and sexism in the region, thus provoking her desire for changing the status quo. AG|hair is a brand dedicated to giving back in big ways with 13% of the brands proceeds on every product going directly to Woman Leading Change. PETA approved and using natural ingredients, my AG|hair product summer obsession is the Smoothing Balm with Argan oil. Use it this summer to beat the NY heat or take on a beachy getaway, it makes for the perfect hair companion for summer 2014.

#The Selfie Revolution

 

We live in a world where hash tagging is the norm, selfies are a daily way of life, and social media as an overall whole, is almost just as important to winning fashion street cred as talent. The concept of personal promotion has taken a whole new meaning with brands such as Calvin Klein capitalizing on the publics selfie obsession in their recent #mycalvins add campaign.  In an effort to better understand what I will call the selfie revolution I dug deep within in myself, (not that deep), found my funny bone, and went out in the field (my apartment) to better understand the types of selfies that exist and where they originated.

The Kim K. 

It’s Tuesday morning and you woke up like this. Full face of makeup beaten to the gods and a lot of booty that you are determined to show the world. You probably had a crazy night out either making sex tapes, or just being a general slore bag, for you my friend is the Kim K.

You are 13, vulnerable, faking tits that aren't there, and think you're beyond sexy. (a SVU victim waiting to happen.) :0

Throwaway Cameras Tell No Lies 

There's this weird, almost romantic truth, about the images from throwaway cameras, a real unapologetic  display of whatever you pointed the plastic lens at that I personally can't get enough of.

The Last Summer Adventures 

"Bear, put something nautical on, we're going sailing." 

Where I grew up is probably on of the most beautiful places in the summer, come winter, all the stylish yuppie visitors from around the world leave their oceanside abodes, and you are left with a fishing town that most people have never left...(hence why I moved), but Gloucester Mass is filled with my best friends, my Nana's house in Anisquam, and the picturesque property my parents own in the Dogtown woods. It really is a stunning island. So last weekend, tired of the NYC grime and missing Bear, a.k.a Skye, my BFF of 20 years, I ventured home with a suitcase filled with summer whites and metallics, to have a weekend on the water.
