To change it up a bit from a full up-do, Sharie did a romantic half-up, half-down braided style on me:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Braid it Baby Style #2 - Em's Look</b></span></div><br />
Step 1: Sharie applied some mousse throughout my hair. Although my hair is super fine, there is a LOT of it - I find that mousse tends to be the best styling product for keeping it under control (my fav drugstore brand <a href="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=loreal+curl+mousse&hl=en&prmd=ivnso&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1600&bih=815&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=17505480356214049152&sa=X&ei=23AwTsjtFuTn0QGIyKWGAw&ved=0CGMQ8wIwAA">here</a>).<br />
<br />
Step 2: Section hair and place 1-2 inch sections in "foil rollers" (if you ever put your hair in rag curlers as a kid - I did! - this is exactly the same technique, only using strips of household aluminum foil instead of fabric). Sharie started at the base of each section and began wrapping it around the roller - when she had completed rolling my hair around the foil, she used the ends of the foil to hold each roller in place.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Step 3: Once foil rollers are in place, apply heat! I sat under the salon dryer but a blow-dryer w/ diffuser would also work well. I sat for about 15 minutes and after the rollers were taken out...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">...my hair had LOTS of texture (texture = key for braids)!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyHuoXb8jGAvwTDDJ2kwjXZ09KUbyGwmTj4f6QjRoxDlNjFtFhYNW9kuhdJY-ldLwwffF-Fe9hWrnjAB3NAwFjIy2EEA10zqzLlMIghk8hqzitTAANYJoExI1LVyWXzlxlL-qPqNYvAW4/s1600/P6174784.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyHuoXb8jGAvwTDDJ2kwjXZ09KUbyGwmTj4f6QjRoxDlNjFtFhYNW9kuhdJY-ldLwwffF-Fe9hWrnjAB3NAwFjIy2EEA10zqzLlMIghk8hqzitTAANYJoExI1LVyWXzlxlL-qPqNYvAW4/s640/P6174784.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Step 4: Part hair to one side and begin loosely French braiding the larger section around your face. Sharie then braided the other, smaller side of my part in a regular braid and used a tiny elastic (yes, a single elastic!) to secure both braids in an uneven angle on the back of my head. She left the rest of my hair down & wavy. SUPER. EASY.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The size of our hair seems to move in lock step with the temperature...as it gets hotter, our hair gets bigger...and bigger, and bigger, and bigger. Now don't get us wrong, a little volume can be a girl's best friend, but there is a very big difference between a bit of volume and continuously expanding frizz.<br />
<br />
Enter Sharie Manon of the Mario Diab salon in downtown New York City - a Style Network star in the making and a bonafide hair genius - with the perfect summer style to help us embrace our hair's natural texture (read HUGE) and yet still look chic as the temperature and humidity levels rise. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Braid it Baby Style #1 - Po's Look</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">For the record, Po is not gifted when it comes to doin' up the 'dos. The day the scrunchie went out of style was the day that hairstyling surpassed her skill level...so if she can do this, anyone can. This style took Sharie a grand total of 10 minutes and 5 pins...making this look perfect for a night out or a rushed weekday morning.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Step 1: Keep things in control - Sharie ran some texturizing cream from roots to tips to help maintain volume, but control the frizz</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Step 2: Create an off-center part </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Step 3: Begin to create two loose french braids on each side of your head. Don't worry about making these perfect - the messier the better. </div><br />

We tried to keep the list within the financial relm of reality for us average janes, but the two Alexanders' bags (McQueen and Wang) were way too beautiful and way too bad-ass to leave out. That being said, two of the three shirts featured below are under $40...so really if you bought both shirts and an expensive handbag it would all pretty much even out in the end...at least that's what we'll be telling ourselves. ;)<br />

A small floral print top and my favorite pair of flared jeans...'groovy baby'! The look is as comfortable as it is flattering...god bless flared pants' ability to make everything else look so small (like my hips and thighs...best optical illusion ever!) This particular pair of flared jeans is made by a London based company called MiH (short for Made in Heaven). They fit perfectly and are made of the most comfortable denim these gams have ever seen...making it that much easier to go back to the grill for seconds (or thirds) at any summer bar-b-que.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Between backyard barbecues, beer garden outings, rooftop cocktails and alfresco dinners, a girl needs a wardrobe that not only makes her feel cute but also keeps her comfortable (i.e., keeps her from passing out in 95 degree heat!).

This is my favorite errands/grocery store/Sunday morning look because it looks like you bothered but feels like you didn't. This skirt makes sweatpants feel restrictive and can be paired with just about anything. I've worn it with everything from a white collared shirt for work to a vintage t and vest at a concert. Here I've kept things really simple with just a lace t, chambray shirt and the most important Sunday morning accessory -- a cup of coffee.<br />
<br />
Wishing you a comfortable and relaxing weekend.<br />

This season-less piece works as well in the summer with a tank top and sandals as it does in the winter under a parka. More comfortable than a pair of jeans, better looking than a pair of leggings (sorry, leggings), and MUCH easier to wear than a mini skirt, the black maxi has few major flaws (except perhaps, its propensity to soak up water on a rainy day - best to avoid the maxi in a monsoon). On top of all this, adding this piece to your wardrobe will cost far from an arm and a leg - yet another reason a black maxi has found its way into both E. & P.'s closets. ;)<br />
<br />
Below are a few of our favorite warm-weather black maxi skirt looks - we hope you enjoy!<br />

I bought this shirt from Zara and considering it's been in steady rotation over the last two months, I think I can officially say that I got my money's worth. It goes with everything and the bold stripes are so clean and crisp that you can wear it just as easily in a corporate conference room as you can on the high seas (if you should happen to find yourself on one of those). Here I paired it with a white denim mini, but it also looks amazing with an accordion maxi, ripped up jeans or a pair of pleated shorts. And as an added bonus, it just so happens to perfectly match my new Kate Spade "Head in the Sand" satchel. The bag is on super sale right now (seriously it's more than 50% off)...so just on the off chance that you like it too...I've included the link below to the Kate Spade site. :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

Just north of this legendary Manhattan summer drinking spot, however, you will find an even better way to satiate your nautical tendencies - Hudson River Community Sailing. GL and I recently had the opportunity to take a beginners' sailing lesson at HRCS after we found out about a great deal they were running via Groupon. Although neither of us had ever stepped foot on a sailboat, we had an amazing time, thanks in no small part to our awesome instructor <a href="http://hudsonsailing.org/about-hrcs/the-hrcs-crew/">Christin</a>, who despite her approximately 4'8'' frame seemed more than capable of handling the boat on her own, whether or not her two 'students' were along for the ride. We spent the better part of 2 hours cruising up and down the Hudson river, learning some basic sailing lingo, and dodging NY water taxis, then capped off our adventure with a (highly appropriate) lunch from <a href="http://chelseamarket.com/thelobsterplace/">The Lobster Place</a> in Chelsea Market. Best...day...ever...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">*Note - this was not the outfit I wore during our sailing lesson - dresses are not compatible with maneuvering around a 24' sailboat, even if you're not really doing very much.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

This week we are all about the classic nautical stripe and some not so classic ways to incorporate it into your summer look. First up, a collection of some of our favorite nautical inspired looks to help you get your sea legs. Then we'll be back later this week (and hopefully without the cheesy sailor references) with Em's look, Po's look and a round-up of some of our favorite nautical pieces in stores now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

However, what the drugstore lacks in sophistication and glamour it makes up for in product effectiveness and cost efficiency. And while you may never get helped at the drugstore, at least you won't be harrassed by pushy make-up counter sales people.<br />
<br />
With summer and all of it's beauty and grooming necessities upon us (self-tanner, sunscreen, razors, foot scrubs, etc.) we thought now would be a great time to highlight some of our favorite drugstore bargain buys. <br />
<br />
<b>Make-Up</b><br />
<br />
Ardell Lash Kit: This is our go-to when we need to look extra special. Fake eyelashes (although a strange concept) really do make a big difference. Getting used to the application can be a bit tricky, but this lash starter kit makes it easy for anyone to apply.<br />
<br />
Maybelline Eyeshadow in Stylish Smokes: We use this as a dramatic eyeshadow for evening and as a liner for day. It's much softer and more natural than a pencil, but dark enough to give you that extra va-va-voom at night.<br />
<br />
Almay Blemish Heal Technology Pressed Powder: Best pressed powder and essential in the summer heat! It's not super cheap (~$14), but it lasts forever.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoD94eQqMlGC_IvOdMi3WwejpxQFryCqH0jAif1PGdZcIWJ-0CNDcBjLNyjL4U33H6NkdxP53bIxcXbvMSrNh-eIMCyHeeY_1hvzKPIzCfXkbLehlhL5D_JmFjG1Ec4yG6h_p07tzGqeQ/s1600/Makeup.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoD94eQqMlGC_IvOdMi3WwejpxQFryCqH0jAif1PGdZcIWJ-0CNDcBjLNyjL4U33H6NkdxP53bIxcXbvMSrNh-eIMCyHeeY_1hvzKPIzCfXkbLehlhL5D_JmFjG1Ec4yG6h_p07tzGqeQ/s400/Makeup.png" width="400" /></a></div><b>Face</b><br />
<br />
Aveeno Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser: This foaming facial cleanser is perfect for anyone with sensitive skin. It's made with soy, won't irritate skin and is fragrance free.<br />
<br />
Neutrogena Healthy Skin, Anti-Wrinkle, Anti-Blemish Lotion: Ohh the woes of late-20s skin. Pimples? Got 'em. Wrinkles? Got those too. Thank god the wonderful people at Neutrogena created this lotion to solve both issues. Two birds, one stone baby.<br />
<br />
L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Face Towels: A cheaper, but just as effective version of Tan Towel.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgygW1T3sHxiwQAeYDppa1nGzwiWW2yqfAAYn_vTx8wacupaUJqiZa4ZjLUM0BufCjlUk3MIsSCelebWV1iKhdfdRSJ40Vz1Ot7z1bUWf4Dz4Y8VKhikWFEvVhZFBLIp6xXdKEFu99FHtk/s1600/Face.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgygW1T3sHxiwQAeYDppa1nGzwiWW2yqfAAYn_vTx8wacupaUJqiZa4ZjLUM0BufCjlUk3MIsSCelebWV1iKhdfdRSJ40Vz1Ot7z1bUWf4Dz4Y8VKhikWFEvVhZFBLIp6xXdKEFu99FHtk/s400/Face.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<b>Body:</b><br />
<br />
Palmer's Cocoa Butter w/<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> Vitamin E: The fact that this stuff is commonly recommended to new mothers for treating stretch marks should tell you something. It soothes the skin under eyes, softens dry hands and feet, helps heal scars, prevents irritation post wax/shave, etc. Truly a one stop shop in a bottle.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Lotion: This is a great, natural looking alternative to a real tan. It dries quickly, is completely streak-free and even has SPF 15 protection built in. </span><br />
<br />
CeraVe: It may not look glamorous, but this moisturizing lotion works. It was recommended as a dry skin cure by P's dermatologist during a particularly frigid February and her apartment hasn't gone a day without it since. It's not super cheap, but really, can you put a price on perfectly soft skin... ;)<br />

Nex<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">t up - food and lots of it! Paris is famous for it's macaroons, particularly those from Ladureé. My favori</span></span>te macaroons are from a patisserie called Pierre Hermé, which E introduced me to the last time we were in Paris. They have several throughout the city (unfortunately for your diet) and while their standard flavors (vanilla, pistachio, lemon, etc.) are delicious, the real treats are the more unique pairings. Be sure to try the Licorice & Violet, as well as the Jasmine, Vanilla and Olive Oil...trust me, it's amazing.<br />

</div><div style="margin: 0px;">What did I wear for all of this Parisian eating? My new favorite (and waist band free) travel dress! It's short enough to wear flats without looking dumpy, but long enough that "I see London, I see France, I see Polly's..."(you know the rest) is still just a song. Additionally, it doesn't wrinkle, the navy hue is practically spill-proof and it does wonders when it comes to hiding any vacation "memories" (commonly referred to as pounds).<br />

It's feminine, powerful and over the years has become my most reliable wardrobe pick-me-up. It has transformed more days than I can count from feeling corn chips and coca-cola to champagne and caviar (okay okay - not champagne and caviar - but definitely worthy of food that can't be purchased at a drug store.) </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">While I own leopard in an unnecessary variety of forms (t-shirts, scarves, bags...seriously, it's getting a little absurd) I decided to go with this leopard print maxi dress for Head to Toe's first animal print post. It's a recent and delightfully affordable purchase that can be worn glam'd up for night or dressed down for day. Here I've kept things simple with a lariat necklace and black clutch, but if that's not your style this dress also looks great with a black blazer and heels or a jean jacket and casual sandals.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

For a long time, I shied away from anything leopard, zebra, snakeskin - the look felt too harsh for me. Since then, I've developed a cautious affinity for animal prints under the right circumstances. I fell for this dress a few months ago when I was looking for a couple of day-to-night dresses that could work for meetings (perhaps with a black blazer) but look 'fun' enough for dinner/drinks in the evening. It has so many qualities that I love: the graphic black and white leopard print, the deep V cut of the back, the structured cap sleeves, and the black leather details on the waist and shoulders. Classic w/ unique details = a piece that will see a lot of rotation in my closet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There's a reason the most stylish women in the world are frequently photographed wearing this iconic print. It's both classic and edgy, but most of all it's a non-girly way of being completely feminine. I mean hey, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Kate Bosworth and Rachel Bilson can't all be wrong. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

During the coldest months of the year the only people that regularly catch a glimpse of our toes are our nearest and dearest friends, the occassional member of the medical community and the inside of our fuzzy winter socks. However, with summer upon us and our beloved granny socks tucked away in storage, our toes are once again on display. So with the season's renewed focus on nails top of mind - here are some cool ideas to mix things up during your next trip to the salon.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">First up, the two-tone pedicure/accent nail. While typically we consider two-tone either a french manicure or, more frequently, the part of the nail with polish versus the part of the nail without, we came across this cool idea in the latest issue of Glamour magazine. Pick two colors in the same family of hues, but from opposite ends of the spectrum (i.e. one dark and the other light). Then paint all toes the darker shade, except for one on each foot which should be the lighter shade. We're partial to lightening up on your second toe, but feel free to experiment to see what looks best on you.</span><br />

While it's hard to go wrong when it comes to brunch + cocktails, we are partial to a somewhat obscure beverage known as the 'St. Germain Kir Royale'.<br />
<br />
St. Germain is elderflower liquor - what is elderflower you ask? We have absolutely no idea. We went to the St. Germain website for a little insight into the exact description of this so-called 'elderflower' and here is what they had to say...<br />
<br />
"Neither passionfruit nor pear, grapefruit nor lemon, the sublime taste of St-Germain hints at each of these and yet none of them exactly. It is a flavor as subtle and delicate as it is captivating. A little like asking a hummingbird to describe the flavor of its favorite nectar. Très curieux indeed, n'est-ce pas?"<br />
<br />
Which leads us right back to where we started...absolutely no idea. ;) And while we have no idea how the hummingbird fits in, we are indeed captivated. For those of you that enjoy cocktails with cucumber or lychee this could be a great new drink for you! Next time you're in the mood for something on the sparkly side, we highly recommend this delicious little beverage.<br />

It's a full blown event and one that usually involves a 30 minute wait for a table while being slammed in the tiny foyer of a downtown restaurant with 20 or so hungry and hungover strangers (the politist and most accomadating of crowds...insert dramatic eye roll here). And while the experience leading up to the meal is moderately to completely inconvenient, it has somehow become a right of passage that only makes the meal itself that much more enjoyable. Weekend subway construction tripled the time it took to get to the restaurant? Bloody Mary so good you'll forget how you got there in the first place. Bitchy hostess continuing to seat people in front of you? Coffee so delicious you'll fondly think of the hostess as "european". Having to apologize for being in at least one person's way every minute of the 45 that you had to wait for a table...? French toast so heavenly you'll forget you're sitting in a room full of people and let out a full blown food moan. That's just the magic of brunch in NYC. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

We recently stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant in the west village and couldn't help but take a break from our photo snapping at one of their outdoor tables. This place is not your typical NYC brunch spot (i.e. the hostess is actually delightful and waits for a table are minimal and relaxing), but the food is delicious and the atmosphere is exactly what you want after a hectic week at the office. We snapped some pics of our visit to give you something to look forward to, but regardless of where you end up this weekend, bon appetit!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

So when it comes to weekends, I don't mess around - if I can't walk 3+ miles in it, can't eat eggs benedict and/or a substantial cheeseburger in it, and can't roll around in the grass in the middle of Central Park in it, it's probably not going to make it into my weekend wardrobe. Here is an outfit I wore recently to a casual weekend brunch - walkable shoes (check), loose / super-soft T-shirt (check), already-grass-stained cut-offs (check) - all in all, the perfect weekend ensemble. ;)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
