Beauty Tip: Maintaining your Gel Manicure

Gel Manicure's are the best way to keep your nail color chip free and shiny for 2 to 3 weeks. Recently there have been warnings about the UVA oven that you have to place your hands in for the color to dry. UVA rays can cause our skin to age. Great news, you do not have to give up gel manicures! As a prep step before you go to get your nails fancy, moisturise your hands with a lotion with SPF. Skin is skin, so if you put SPF on your face, make sure your hand cream has SPF in it as well . Our hands are one of the places that can show our age so lets keep our hands smooth and pretty!

Designer Profile: Reem Acra

I got the fantastic opportunity to meet notable fashion designer Reem Acra last weekend. Reem was born in the middle east and has an immaculate eye for European fashion. She got her first big break when she cut up her mothers finest tablecloth into a dress which then got noticed by a fashion editor at a party and the editor pushed her to attend FIT. She then became an exchange student in Paris, while studying abroad she had a high profile socialite friend who asked her to design her wedding dress. The dress got rants and raves reviews and in a split second Reem joined the bridal industry. Ms. Acra also designs RTW with a European flavor which is feminine and sophisticated. She is now one of my favorite designers and it was a pleasure to meet her.

A New Direction

Hello all, It is I, Renee, I'm not dead! I had to place Myssi D on hold for awhile to keep up with other events in the pursuit of my fashion career. I am now a make-up artist and stylist (of course) .Here's a sneak peak over the weekend I worked on a project with Haute Glamour and I worked with up and coming Designer Cody Sai for looks for his Spring2010 Collection. Check them both out. Much more to come because I've got a lot cooking, its just that it's difficult to find the time to post everything w/o a laptop. I miss everyone and all of the great bloggers I 've been fortunate to come across. Stay Flyy.
