Jason Wu Madness

Hi all - Did you wake up early for Jason Wu at Target? I was an hour late to my Target, but still scored a dress and top (to the left). For those of you who haven't shopped yet, the sizes run fairly big. I normally wear a Small in a Target dress size, and the XS for Jason Wu fit me to a tee.

Let me know what you get!


Jason Wu for Target

Who's excited??? I can't wait to check out this line tomorrow morning. I'm going as soon as my local Target opens. I hope I can score some cute dresses for work. You can preview the Jason Wu line on Target's site. 


I'm not a huge fan of Target for home goods and beauty stuff. I had a bad experience there when it came to registering for my bridal shower, but these partnerships with high fashion designers are making me rethink loyalty to them. It's genius really. It's fun saying you own a dress or clutch from a lux designer you couldn't normally afford. Same with H&M when they did the Jimmy Cho line. I hope there are more designer partnerships to come!


Let me know what you girls score tomorrow!

Emma Stone
Styled by Mara Roszak for Wella Professionals

“Emma’s dress was my inspiration. I wanted to create a smooth, polished up-do with a bit of a modern 50's feel.” – Says Mara Roszak of the hairstyle she created for Emma Stone at tonight’s Screen Actors Guild Awards®.

Step-by-Step Styling
1.       Part the hair to the side then apply Wella Professionals Velvet Amplifier to wet hair and blow dry smooth
2.       Add a pump of Wella Professionals Mirror Polish to hands and apply lightly to hair, starting at the ends, to smooth out any fly aways
3.       Tease the crown of the hair to add a little height and pull into a mid-height ponytail
4.       Twist the ponytail and then wrap into a bun and secure with bobby pins
5.       Spray all over with Wella Professionals Stay Firm hairspray

“Zoe’s dress was so inspiring. I wanted to create a "not too perfect" up-do by adding texture and movement to the hair, while keeping it modern and fresh.” – Says Mara Roszak of the hairstyle she created for Zoe Saldana at tonight’s Screen Actors Guild Awards®.

Step-by-Step Styling
1.       Apply Wella Professionals Extra Volume Mousse to wet hair and rough dry
2.       Then, using a 3/4" barrel curling iron, add waves to the hair by rotating the direction of the curl
3.       Once the whole head was waved, spray Wella Professionals Ocean Spritz on the hair to break up the wave and add texture
4.       Loosely pull the hair back into a low pony  and secured it with an elastic
5.       Then split the pony into two sections and braid them both, then wrap the braids into a bun and secure with bobby pins
6.       Once the hair is up, apply a dab of  Wella Professionals Bold Move styling paste to fingertips and define a few pieces around the face
7.       Spray all over with Wella Professionals Stay Firm finishing spray
