Visual F/X Salon’s stylist Alison Peabody spent her Saturday doing hair for models in the Art Institute’s “Feast for the Eye” fashion show and auction. The event showcased 18 senior collections with a food-inspired opening act. The night’s auction benefited the the Oregon Food Bank and the school’s Creative Arts Scholarship fund. It was a tasty night indeed and sure made us proud of our go-getter stylist who created some scrumptious dos as well. Ummm… the hair bun has a whole new meaning.

A LOOK @ KMS’ SOLPERFECTION LINE
Well… I was saving the KMS’ Solperfection line for a day when we’ve actually had some sun in Portland… or a little sliver of hope for no rain. As this rain streak continues it’s clear we need more than hope, we need some inspiration! So today we’re looking at the Solperfection line, designed to keep your hair looking its best when UV rays, chlorine and sea water are doing their best to cause some damage… but in the most fun way. This line is infused with grapefruit and thyme, designed to help calm your sun-stressed scalp and act as an anti-irritant. So let’s keep hoping for some sun and when it does come (it has to, right?) Solperfection will be there to remind you of how lovely it feels.

DIY-HAIR ACCESSORIES
There’s nothing cuter than a great embellished hair accessory. I often adore them in magazines and spy them while shopping, but rarely take that leap to purchase them, usually opting for a staple piece to add to my wardrobe. Most of my favorites look relatively simple to create and require little supplies. While I have little to no wisdom to share about how to make these outfit add-ons, I can share with you some of my favorites I’ve found on different sites, blogs, etc. Best of luck fellow accessory lovers!
