Intelligent Nutrients: The hottest new salon experience at MOAJune 15, 2013

Intelligent Nutrients

If you’re looking for an out-of-this-world unique salon experience, Intelligent Nutrients doesn’t disappoint. Located on Level 1 South, their new flagship store is a treat for all the senses. All products are organic, with various certifications from their countries of origin.

I’ve heard you can actually EAT their hair products and be fine. However, they don’t recommend it… the products won’t taste very good. The point is you could because they’re totally chemical free!

[MOAcolor] IkatJune 14, 2013

Trends come and go, but some fashion techniques and textiles survive the test of time, such as ikat. Ikat is one of the oldest forms of textile decoration and involves the art of manipulating textile fibers before they’re woven into fabric. The result is an elaborate, beautiful and eye-catching pattern. Whether accenting a pair of heels, a summer scarf or a small accessory, ikat is a great way to make a big impact in your wardrobe. In the sea of summer brights, ikat patterns are easy to spot around the Mall. Here’s a selection of my favorites.

Giveaway! Maternity trends perfect for summerJune 13, 2013

As you start to get that wonderful pregnant glow, you don’t want to have to sacrifice your trendiest, sassiest self, and good news, you don’t have to!   Say goodbye to “mommy jeans” and hello to great outfits from Destination Maternity (Check out our Destination Maternity gift card giveaway below!) From an everyday maxi dress to the edgier print pant, you can still rock this season’s trends.

Yes, pregnant and sexy is still in option! For the trendy fashionista, wear a comfortable cotton graphic tee with a pair of printed pants. The fabric to the printed pants (pictured below) will make you feel like you are lounging in your PJ’s, but make you look like you’re ready to hit the runway. Add a blazer or chunky cardigan to complete the look. Layering is key! For your everyday style, try a bright colorful maxi dress or skirt for an effortless look. Add a jean jacket and/or statement necklace to add some pizzazz!  For a “night out on the town” throw on an alternative to the infamous LBD – a bright colored dress such as this blue Charlie Jade number pictured below.  A little bit of a cut out and shorter length is perfect for date night or a night out with the girls (sippin’ on waters of course;))  Three different looks for three different occasions! Beautiful glow, beautiful wardrobe!

Festival Fashion: Rock the Garden Ticket GiveawayJune 5, 2013

As summer reluctantly approaches Minnesota, our calendars are beginning to fill with concerts, barbecues and poolside parties.  Our favorite summer event is the upcoming music festival: Rock the Garden (scroll down to enter for a chance to win tickets!).  But with the unpredictability of our current weather situation, how do we plan our wardrobe for these outdoor affairs? 

Layers are key – a vest or chunky sweater will block the wind and act as a cushion to keep your skirt safe from unwanted grass stains as you hunker down under the sun waiting for your favorite band to hit the stage.  Haute hats will also be a lifesaver to keep the freckles on your cheeks at bay and save your ‘do from an unexpected rainstorm.  We have put together a plethora of layered, sun-blocking and weatherproofed looks to get you through your next summer festival.
