Perfect Waves

It has become my personal mission to find the perfect hot tool to create the cutest, most long lasting waves. Needless to say, I have been on this mission for quite some time. That is, until I crossed paths with the Rsession Nalu Waver. There are so many different wavers, irons and barrels out there claiming to be the best of the best, but this my friends is the cream of the crop.

The waver comes with its own carrying case and heat protecting glove (perfect for clumsy people like myself who are scarred from encounters with their hot tools!) While the waver does look like a cow prodding device and is a bit intimidating, it is super easy to use and the results will leave you with Taylor Swift-esque waves that last for days and days. The nitty gritty on the Nalu Waver is that it is essentially two three-quarter-inch ceramic barrels that can heat up to an impressive 430 degrees Fahrenheit, making this product great for all hair types. The adjustable heat settings allow women with pin thin hair to those with thick, coarse hair to achieve their desired looks. The figure eight technique used to create the look only takes a few tries to master and soon you’ll be walking around with gorgeous, perfect for summer waves.

The Style Spot: Sideways Cross Necklace

If anyone has seen the Rachel Zoe Project, it is hard not to admire Rachel's assistant Taylor Jacobson's personal style. It is effortless, chic and edgy at the same time. Taylor flawlessly mixes messy, rocker and classic pieces while creating a style all her own.

With her constantly changing outfits, one item holds true, her Rosark sideways cross necklace. This necklace caught my eye right away and had me on a wild goose chase all over the internet for it. When I realized it retailed for close to $500, I gave up my search.

More recently, stars like Kelly Ripa, Jessica Biel, Vanessa Hudgens and Miley Cyrus have been sporting this classic, yet trendy piece. I was lucky enough to stumble upon Classic Designs, a shop on etsy. com (www.classicdesigns.etsy.com). The seller and creator Theresa Mink makes handcrafted jewelery, specializing in simple and elegant pieces that are affordable.

Lo and behold, Theresa sells the infamous sideways cross, which she handmakes, for $41 USD. The necklace can be customized in length and comes in silver, gold plated and solid gold. I immediately scooped up the gold-filled and haven't taken it off since.

I love how light the necklace is and how you can layer it with other pieces to create different fashion forward looks. It is both subtle and a statement piece and I have received tons of compliements from girls wanting to get the same one!

If you are like me and want to get your paws on this necklace, contact Theresa on her shop and get this expensive look for less, without compromising quality and style!
