Beautiful bridal hair is yours with the Revlon Professional Yes, I Do Collection!

Revlon Professional dedicated its 2014 Spring-Summer Collections to the world of brides and special social events with the Yes, I Do Collection at a recent event that showcased some stunning looks.

A braided bun along with a sexy yet elegant backless Kenneth Winston gown was my favourite of the bunch

The hair is gorgeous and much more interesting then the standard bun - take the clips out and the style becomes less bridal would be perfect for a fancy night out. Products used to get the look include: Smooth Iron Guard, Hairspray Modular, Shine Spray Glamourama & Hairspray Photo Finisher from Revlon Professional Style Masters

Not getting married? You can still take advantage of the Revlon Style Masters line packed with shampoos, conditioners and styling products to help create the perfect 'do for any occasion.

I especially like the Revlon Style Masters Volume Shampoo & Conditioner - 400ml/250ml - $15.95 - especially formulated strengthen, nourish, add shine and give hair body and volume without weighing it down - perfect for my fine hair!

Available at Revlon Professional salons across Canada.

Stella McCartney Bridal Lingerie: Is it Naughty enough?

Some people call Stella McCartney's designs effortless, I often call them understated and when I'm really cranky: dull. This lingerie collection is cute enough but it doesn't scream bridal to me. Bridal should be about great support (to keep everything in its place under that wedding gown) and sass...not sure this collection 2011 fulfills the brief.
