The Tux through time!

By Jenna D.

Me age 2

Clearly since a small child I have been Obsessed with Tuxedos! (Please reference the picture below of what looks like a little boy in a tux that’s yours truly ……The tuxedo is really playing up the whole androgynous vibe. As I got older I became Obsessed with the Provocative Tuxedo that Jennifer Beal wore in One of the Best Movies of all time…… Flash Dance. There’s something about a Women in a Tuxedo that is so Sexy and Powerful!

That outfit for me revolutionized the Women Tuxedo.

Now as an adult I am still Obsessed with Tuxedo’s in every which way. Don’t get me wrong I can always go for the True Classic Tuxedo Suit with all the Bells and Whistles, the Black Satin Strip up the Wide Leg Pant to the Cumber bun Moment is always a go to on my list….. But recently I have been so Obsessed with The unexpected Tuxedo. A Metallic option like this one from Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2012 is Ridiculous and just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many Amazing different silhouettes, colors and textures coming  down the runway right now I just want them all.

If you aren’t ready to commit to the Full Tuxedo Suit yet and want to ease in slowly a great way to do that is by adding a Tuxedo Pant to your Wardrobe, Cigarette Style or Wid Leg…..either one would be a great option. Or if your more drawn to a Blazer this Winter White Donna Karen option is the perfect fit. For all my Tuxedo Veterans out there that have Tux’s already pull them out of your closet and breathe New Life into them by using the pieces as separates. Pair the jacket with a pair of pleated shorts for a Chic summer look or sport the pants with a classic plain tank. Not only will you have New Looks in your Closet but a great excuse to shop for a New Unexpected Tuxedo!

....The Fringe Totally Makes It!

By Jenna D.

The picks are in for today…….

The Alexander Mcqueen wallet is so Insane…..The Day glow Pink is clearly eye-catching and I swear the brightness of it against your skin tone gives the illusion that you look tanner! It’s just another excuse to go shopping so you can pull it. I Love, Love, Love this Kimono Jacket by Kate Barbary the fringe totally makes it! Wearing this style you must be conscience of proportions. For example wearing it with a shorter pair of shorts will bring the eye up creating a longer leg while the kimono covers your tush so you don’t feel so exposed. Now for all of you that have IPads and want a more substantial cover or case this Tusk option is perfect….plus it’s the best color Tang!!!! My favorite for the season!

I’m absolutely loving this whole wetsuit swimwear line, but my favorite one is the Cheeky.   It’s definitely different, and will be sure to turn heads!   The perfect accessory for any wetsuit would of course be a Rebecca Minkoff neon color blocked tote and Sam Edelman flip flops. This tote is not only the best beach bag, but it can also double as a great everyday bag as well!

                Now, my sister is a candle connoisseur and she is always trying to turn me on to multiple different brands and scents.  They all smell amazing of course, but hands down the best candle is Gardenia by Tocca.  I have been burning it in my home and it literally smells like there is a straight gardenia bush anywhere you light it. It’s the perfect home essential for spring time!

Your Next Must Have....

The Hot Pink Perspective
By: ‘The Fashion Massiah’

It’s hard to pick just one favorite dress, jacket or flirty print for spring, as it’s my favorite season to dress. However, one of my favorite up-coming trends for 2011 includes the indulgence in a fine coat. A great tip for buying wardrobe essentials is to be aware of the function of the garment. For instance, it’s better to buy a piece that can be worked in and out of your current base of clothing, while exaggerating your look with a creative piece that will last throughout many seasons. One piece in which I think my fashionistas should invest is the A-line-shape coat in a bright, cheeky color. Win major cuteness points with this look, while showing off your best leg-essentials. This coat can be worn with bare, and still turn every head on the street. If you’re a petite, this hem line will elongate one’s body creating a leaner sleeker, taller appeal. Check out Hot Pink style for our take on the spring vintage coat.

'One Scarf Fits All'

The Hot Pink Perspective
By: ‘The Fashion Massiah’

Warning! The leaves have turned, and the days have shortened. The damp winter air has stolen our flirtiest day dress, and our sexiest cocktail attire. What’s a fashionista to do?  A common Floridian detriment, for some, can be the lack of creative variety for our faux winter weather.  It almost seems like a cruel joke, going from a frozen tundra for one third of the work week, to a blazing Afghani dessert over the weekend.   Solution; Infinity scarves. Drape them low when the day is warm. Bundle them around your neck for when outside morphs into a free standing meat locker. Ranging in a multitude of colors and patterns, any scarf is certainly a progressive fashion statement for battling the cruelest of the elements. Check out Hot pink style’s dashing picks for winter scarves and insure an upbeat flair for any of Mother Nature’s frosty mood swings.

‘Best Wrist Forward’

The Hot Pink Perspective
By: ‘The Fashion Massiah’

In this recent ‘Frosty Florida’ weather your closet may be taking a strain when trying to cope. As native Floridians it can become a task to create notable winter outfits when exposed to this non-indigenous weather. Many of us are lost without our easy fit tank tops, cutoff’s, and our best adaptable flip-flop. It may even seem easier to lock yourself away in hibernation until this scary icy freeze carts itself back to the northeast where it belongs. Don’t panic! ‘Hot Pink Style’ has got you covered; well your wrists that is. The number one way to excite your pseudo winter solstice look; ACCESSORIES!!! Now available at the ‘Hot Pink Factory ‘are these fashionable faux fur cuffs that instantly add a fashion forward appeal to any look. Keep your wrist in warmth and in style until the spring season has graced us with what we know best.

Dr. Balshi, Miracle Man

Recently, we sent one of our extremely high-profile, and ultra fabulous clients ("M") to see Dr. Thomas Balshi, M.D. Below; she shares her incredible experience, and head-turning results:

Walking into the new swanky offices of the Dermatology and Liposculpture Center in Delray Beach Florida, "M" is warmly greeted by the office staff. After a brisk introduction, she is whisked back to one of the Skin Care Rooms, where she is consulted about a series of microdermabrasion treatments by the friendly head of the Aesthetics Department. (A microdermabrasion treatment is a painless exfoliation process done with crystals that leaves the skin feeling smooth and glowing.)

When her treatment concluded, it was time for her to meet the man behind the curtain, Dr. Tom Balshi. With his superb bedside manner, gentle touch with a needle, magnetic smile, and personality to match, he first checks any freckles, moles, or spots that might appear to be pre-cancerous or cancerous. Next, he whips out a mirror, holds it in front of her face, and patiently listens to her concerns about constantly looking tired and drawn. "No problem at all," Dr. Balshi says with a wink..."You ready?" he asks while gently pressing an ice pack to her face.

Now as a sidenote, we asked Dr. Balshi what goes through his mind before coming up with a custom treatment plan for each of his clients, and his sincere response gave us a glimpse into why his clients keep coming back for more. He states:

"Everyone I see is looking for cosmetic improvements, and everyone is totally unique. Certain treatments are better suited to certain personalities and lifestyles. No treatment plan is ever the same (even though the same products may be used). So if the patients does not have a "sexy" look, I'm not going to hook her up with smokin' lips or insanely hot cheek bones...because she wouldn't be able to pull it off, and it could cause some psycho-social disconnect, even if everyone else agrees that she looks great. I like to try and match the beautification treatment with their "life".... it's extremely personalized to maximize self appreciation while keeping it in the comfort zone. I'm the one seeking perfection...that's my promise."

Before she knew it, "M" had a little Juvederm here, a little Botox there, and a few minutes later, the ice was back on her face. Handing her the mirror, Dr. Balshi says, "You look like a million bucks." As she gazed at her new reflection she couldn't help but fully agree.

Not 24 hours later, she is lavished with compliments left and right. "You look great today!" "Don't you look pretty and fresh this afternoon..." She smiles and gratefully accepts the compliments, knowing well that her latest discovery of Dr. Balshi is now her best kept secret and her new best friend in the endless quest to seek perfection.

Summer Must Have

On hot days in Florida, it's important to stay cool. We have just the product for you. Comfort The Guest has introduced a revoutionary new spray bottle that keeps water hot or cold. We were lucky enough to receive a few samples of their new product, an it has quickly become a can't-live-without item at the Hot Pink Factory.

Although this item is multi-functional, our favorite use so far has been at the beach. Throw a few ice cubes into your Comfort The Guest bottle, and you have a cool spritzer all day long. We've also used these at outdoor shoots for our models to achieve a glistening glow (and keep the models from heat stroke).

The bottles come in a great variety of colors...our favorite is the Stainless Steel.

It's a great product year round, but especially for hot summer days in South Florida. For more information call us or visit http://www.comforttheguest.com/.

Easy, Breeziway, Beautiful

Today we received a special delivery from Breeziway, a company who designs "Feather Headpieces for Today's Fascinating Woman." Quite an intro to live up to! Luckily for us, the brides here at Hot Pink tend to be not only fascinating, but also, fabulous.

Feathers are one of the main ingredients in their delightful hair pieces, but they are also adorned with Swarovski crystals, pearls, and detachable brooches. Each piece is designed to be extremely light-weight, so you'll barely notice you're wearing anything at all.

Breeziway headpieces are perfect for any occasions, but were specially designed for special days like prom, birthdays, and of course wedding days.

Clients can choose from one of over 75 designs or work with the designer exclusively to create a custom piece. Head pieces can also be dyed to match or coordinate with your gown or ensemble.

Here is a sneak peek of the Breeziway headpieces we received at The Hot Pink Factory today:

For more information on these fabulous pieces, contact us or visit their website, www.breeziway.com, and tell them the Hot Pink girls sent you!

Bikini Babes: Piret Collection

One of the major perks of our jobs as stylists, other than, well everything...is that we get a chance to feature up and coming designers in our showroom at The Hot Pink Factory.

Piret, of Piret Bikinis sent us a few of her designs to keep on hand for photo shoots and styling.

The handmade bikinis are all one of a kind and definitely deisgned for the brave beach bunnies who aren't afraid to show a little skin. The ruched backing is one of the details we love, and give beach bums the perfect lift.

She also makes coordinating headbands which can also double for a belt. They look great even without the coordinating bikini--and we love rocking them with our favorite boho maxi.

We're also proudly using them in our upcoming calendar shoot for the Heavyweight Factory--don't be fooled by the name--this is actually a shoot for the sexy ring girls that prance across the ring during fights. (Pictures to follow!)

To get your hands on one of Piret's exclusive bikinis, contact us here at the Hot Pink Factory and we'll be happy to point you in the right direction.

The Official Curling Iron of Hot Pink Style

The official irons of Hot Pink Style are made by Enzo Milano. They are hands down the best curling irons on the market, and don't let the clip-free design scare you, they are simple to use once you get the hang of it. And a bonus, these irons are much less damaging to your hair compared to the traditional curling iron model, which can create kinks and dents in your curls.

The Enzo Milano irons create a fabulous wave that lasts all day. They come in different thicknesses depending on the width of the wave or curl you are going for, and their patented Tribostatic technology heats the iron to the maximum temperature in 60 seconds and keeps the heat constant. Additionally, the barrel has an Aluminum non-stick coating that acts a protective barrier to your hair.

It also comes with a heat proof glove for a better grip and avoiding burns, and of course, anything that comes in PINK gets our stamp of approval.

All Irons are available at the Hot Pink Showroom on online at www.enzomilano.com.
