Saturday morning my day started really early. I left my Connecticut home at 5am so that I could get to Fox and Friends Saturday news station. The station were doing a lifestyle segment around the dramatic award winning series Mad Men, airing a special 2 hour season premiere tonight on AMC. Mad Men is set in the 1960’s and it showcase the life of 1960’s America and it’s historical fashion style. L’OREAL Paris Pro Team was asked to come in to glam up the talents for the morning segment to give them a timeless makeover.

It’s a WRAP!!!! After we wrap at 9am, Melissa and I were told that both cars were outside to take us home. But I had another gig at 11am at BiBi Salon NYC in Harlem with Tia Williams for a Shake Your Beauty segment I had them drop me off there. Since I was early I was able to grab a bite to eat before starting round 2. |

Read Issue Here in New York Metro Area we have been experiencing gorgeous spring weather. So it was easy to get in the mood the day of the photo shoot. When CeCi Johnson, Founder of CeCi New York text me that she wanted me to be a part of CeCiStyle Magazine spring shoot I was elated. Spring, is one of my favorites seasons, beautiful weather and bloomed flowers; some of my favorites are tulips, bleeding hearts, anthurium, and alpinia purpurata.
