Someone once told me that when getting dressed, if the top and the bottom look good, everything else will fade away. For me, having polished hair and some great shoes on makes all the difference in the world. Finally, the L.A. favorite blow dry bar, aptly named Drybar, has opened on 16th Street at 5th Avenue. Drybar, which is a salon dedicated to blow outs exclusively, is known for their sleek ladylike decor and fabulous stylists (Cindy Crawford is a client). They have a great menu of lock-taming styles to pick from (all just $40 each) such as the Cosmopolitan, Southern Comfort and Manhattan. Be sure to take a chic peek at Drybar, I know I will!

A special thank you to my lovely, talented friends over at Whitman Emorson for chic-ifying my blog! xo
