Flashback Friday

Blondes may have more fun (or so they say), but not everyone looks good as a blonde. Recently we all noticed Anne Hathaway's blonde locks...and I made it very known that I was not a fan. I love Anne, but sometimes us brunette gals need to stick to our roots! With my skin tone I know I could never pull of a blonde hairstyle.

I thought it would be fun to look back at some photos of celebrities that have gone a little crazy with the bleach and Sun-In. It takes some guts to try a new hair color...I'll give them that. But I am very happy to see they all learned from these hair disasters.

Gatineau Salon Skin Hydration Boost

Over the last year skincare has really taken precedence in my beauty regime. Maybe it's because a few years ago my skin became prone to breakouts (way worse than when I was a teenager). Or maybe it's because I'm now 32 years old and I'm realizing that I have to start keeping a good skincare routine in order to have young looking and flawless skin as I age. I mean, who doesn't want to age gracefully?

Besides the multiple creams and sunscreens that I use, water is definitely up there on my skin care must haves. We always have heard that the more H2O we drink the better it is for our bodies, especially our skin. Since hydration is key, I was very excited to try out Gatineau's Salon Skin Hydration Boost products.

This two piece collection includes an Aquamemory Moisture Replenish mask (75ml) and an Aquamemory Moisture Replenish concentrate (30ml). I have been using the concentrate twice a day (in the morning when I wake up, and again before I go to bed), and the facemask twice a week. In the short time that I have been using these products I already have noticed a difference. My skin is softer, smoother, and overall much clearer.

Disclosure: Products were sent to me to try. Reviews are all my own opinions.

Snapshot Fashion Turns 5

Today is a very special day! Snapshot Fashion is turning five!!! Seems like just yesterday I decided to start this blog. Did I expect it to last five years? Honestly, I never really thought much of it. Just thought of it as a hobby, as a way to express myself, and a creative outlet where I could share my love of fashion and shopping. I am so proud to be a part of the fashion blogging community, and can't wait to see where this year takes my blog.

And now I'd like to ask you...what would you like to see more of on Snapshot Fashion??? Please let me know. I love the feedback!

It's A Mod, Mod World

I don't know what I am more in love with here...this dress or this view! Muse was kind enough to send over this amazing dress. The bold pink hue, the classic sheath design, and the fun mod style...this dress has it all. Perfect for the work place, brunch with the girls, or even to wear to a daytime wedding.

So I'm sure my regular readers are probably scratching their heads thinking, where are you??? No, this is not the view from my apartment. My NYC apartment view is hardly this glamorous. My friend from North Carolina came to town with her husband and they ended up staying at her husband's uncle's apartment. His uncle was out of town so she invited me over to hangout. I was not anticipating a view like this! Simply breathtaking! 

There is something really amazing about New York City when you look down on it. We were peering out on  the city from the 36th floor. Everything looked so small and calm. It was quite beautiful.

I realize I'm not smiling in any of these photos. I guess that is because it is practically 90 degrees here! This heat we are having here in the northeast is so unbearable. But at least after we snapped these few photos we went swimming to cool off (indoors of course!). How are you dealing with the heatwave???
