Sparkle and shine for New Years!

Women are constantly searching for the best way to stand out in a crowd and this is especially true during the holidays. With countless parties, after work holiday drinks, and New Year events, this celebratory period is the perfect time to sparkle. Whether you are rushing straight from the office or spending the whole day primping, Eva has the accessories and tips to step up your style.

And what better way to set yourself apart than with a one of a kind, custom hand-made accessory?

This season has seen a resurgence of the soft, undone upsweep, Modified French twists, beehives, and chignons are all popular again. These feminine, ladylike looks are reminiscent of the 1950s and ’60s. Inspired by this trend, Eva Scrivo designed a unique line of hair jewelry in collaboration with Modern Design. The pieces are both antique and vintage, created from details removed from hats, coats, dresses, and brooches of those decades. Not only do these pieces make a great compliment to upsweeps for special occasions, but they can also dress up a more casual hairstyle and truly set you apart. Each piece is hand-made, original, and one of a kind.

Hair do’s and don’ts from Eva:

Dos:
Do freshen up the hair line around your bangs and temples with a hair dryer prior to styling your hair. This will make your style appear more polished.
Do add a fun hair accessory to your style. This is a great way to add a touch of glamour while hiding hair pins or ponytail holders.

Don’ts:
Don’t use hair spray on the hair while in the process of styling. Doing this will make the hair look stiff and unnatural. Wait until you’re done styling and finish the hair with hair spray to hold.

Don’t use a comb for back-combing your hairstyle. Instead, use a teasing brush. This will help your hair look softer and more natural.
