I became a housewife of Orange County

Something Green For the Bride Event

I am always telling myself that age 40 is the new 30.   Living in one of the most body conscious places in the world, I am surrounded by women who are attempting to maintain their youthful appearance.  I dress thin and tall models.  I work with 25 year olds.  Generally, I am good with growing older.

The last few months, I have been working endless hours in front of my computer preparing for my Something Green for the Bride event in Laguna Beach.  As a jewelry and bridal accessory designer for Renee Pawele Bride, I was working hard preparing to launch my new eco-friendly collection.  I decided for this event, I would spend one day on my personal beautification project.

Wearing my winter white skin, I discovered the fabulous airbrush tan! Can have a glowing golden tan and look like I enjoy all of the amenities of Southern California?
Yes, I can.
Did I get my make-up done and eye-opening fake eyelashes to appear rested?
Yes, I did.

Then I discovered something new: Hair extensions.

Several weeks ago I observed Sarah Goethals, a very talented and saucy hair stylist, put extensions on reality show celebrity Ambre Lake from Bret Michael’s “Rock of Love” in about 30 minutes, transforming her into a sultry goddess before our Something Green photo shoot.  I could not resist trying on the layers of extra hair in the bathroom while nobody was looking.  I have long hair and never considered putting EXTRA hair on my head.  For the next few weeks, I couldn’t stop thinking of the waves of luscious long locks…

Thanks to Sarah at Champions Salon, I officially became one of the Housewives of Orange County.  Anyone who watches this television show knows I am not wearing a bathrobe and curlers in my hair.  My stylist sewed in 6 inches of long thick golden locks that looked so amazing my own friends didn’t recognize me.  My husband loves the way my hair looks but is still uneasy when he touches my hair.  My daughter loves it!  My son doesn’t care.

After the night of glamour, I did go back to my regular life.  The first day back to my martial arts class training Brazilian Ji-jitsu, I got a completely different reaction.

I rotated through several frustrated male partners who asked, “Why do you have so much hair?!!”

Kleinfeld’s Nicole Vega tells me what its all about

Nicole's favorite pair of the many gloves the salon offers.

Stylish and petite Nicole Vega, the accessory manager at Kleinfeld’s bridal salon knows everything about bridal accessories in New York.  After all she is planning her own wedding.  There is a major divide between what East and West Coast brides are demanding for bridal accessories.  Does she know something I don’t know???  I was thrilled by the accessory she recently stocked in the salon.  Gloves!  It seems the vintage revival is also including a resurgence in beautiful lace and silk gloves.  Kleinfeld’s has a designer Stacey  that custom fits the gloves to the bride.  I found myself day dreaming of my old idol Madonna desperately thinking how I could wear gloves in my life.  Now I know why I have seen the young hipsters in the New York bars styled up in couture cuffs!  Nicole’s main issue is how she will incorporate gloves in her own bridal ensemble as her favorite bridal accessory is the headpiece!   I look forward to how she will style herself for her own wedding next year!
