The Best Kept Secret In Hair Removal

by Remington Ready September 8, 2014

 

Women around the world have ditched shaving for the quick and easy way to long-lasting smooth skin.

 

So what is the best kept secret in hair removal?

 

It’s an electric tweezing system known as epilation, and you’ll be glad you found it.


With an epilator, you don’t have to worry about constant touch-ups or irritated skin. The simple handheld device uses 40 rotating tweezers to pull hair out from the root, leaving behind soft, touchable skin for up to six weeks!


And it only gets easier the more you use it. Once hair eventually grows back, it comes in softer and finer than before so future treatments are quicker and more enjoyable.


The best part is, you can use the Remington rechargeable epilator in or out of the shower. Warm water can help soften hair and open up the skin’s pores for easier removal. Plus, the pivoting head adjusts to all the contours of your body for less hassle and quicker results.  

 
It’s time to find out why epilation is the #1 method for hair removal in Europe.

Transitioning to Fall on a Budget

by Remington Ready August 28, 2014

 

 

 

Fall is fast approaching and chock-full of my favorite things… college football, haunted houses, and pumpkin spice lattes. While many of us are ready to go back-to-school shopping for the inevitable drop in temperatures, try transitioning your summer pieces into fall with these money-saving tips.

 

Fall Trend 1: Plaid

 

How to transition? Window-pane print has been popular all summer long with no plans to slow down heading into fall. The black and white pattern makes the perfect backdrop to showcase your accessories and matches almost everything in your closet. Tory Burch loves this print, but Windsor Store makes a fabulous printed peplum top for only $22.90.

 

Fall Trend 2: Structured Bags

 

How to transition? A Celine purse is chic year-round, but you won’t break the bank carrying this almost identical $35 alternative from Windsor Store.

 

Fall Trend 3: Matte Red Lips

 

How to transition? Tone down the bright red lip by opting for a more crimson color as the weather cools. Stila makes an amazing no-smudge liquid lip-stick, but for only $2.99 Elf makes an awesome substitute.

 

Fall Trend 4: Pendant Necklaces

 

How to transition? Kendra Scott’s token bright necklaces have been seen all over the blogosphere this season, but Purple Peridot put a spin on her iconic shape in jewel tones for fall… and for only $15.99.

 

Fall Trend 4: Wide-Brimmed Hats

 

How to transition? Floppy hats can be found all over the beach during the summer months, but swap the straw for felt heading into fall. Free People makes the perfect wide-brimmed hat, but for only $24, ASOS’s version is on-trend as well.

Fringe For The Fall

by Erica Zar August 11, 2014

    

  

  

 

 

 

Hello! I’m Erica Zar, the blogger behind Casually Styled, a personal style blog. I am so honored to be a guest blogger today for Remington Ready!


Today I want to share one of the top trends for fall 2014, which actually is a continuation from what we saw this past spring.  Yes, I’m talking about fringe! Fringe has made its way back into fashion in a big and exciting way. We have seen fringe over the years make its mark on western wear and casual wear, everything from boots, jackets and purses, but now it is taking on a new life of its own with pieces that truly make it a fashion statement.


There are so many ways to add fringe to your style without overstating it.  The trick to fringing is to focus on one piece to keep it simple and classy, and treating it as an accessory to what you are wearing.

Here are some great examples to incorporate fringe for that effortless and chic statement:


1.  Fringe Boots – a great way to add an extra splash of pizzazz to a pair of skinny jeans or even a dress! (Boots seen here, currently available by DV by Dolce Vita at Nordstrom)

2. Fringe Purses – let your purse do the talking as the statement piece to compliment your outfit. (Purse seen here, currently available at Target online and in stores).


3. Fringe Necklaces – a hot trend this fall, add a fringe necklace to a plain tank or tee for a subtle but bold statement!  (Necklace seen here, currently available at Forever21 online or in stores).


4. Fringe Jackets – another huge comeback, not just for the Wild West anymore! A great fall piece to add to your week-end wardrobe!


5. Kimono – a personal favorite of mine, the kimono has become a popular cover-up over the past few months – choose one with fringed sleeves and you’ll be ahead of the fashion curve! (Kimono seen here, currently available at Forever21)


6. Formal Wear – Make an entrance with an eye-catching fringe cocktail dress or evening gown that will make you feel sexy and glam!


7. Bathing Suits – Planning a Caribbean vacation or cruise? Swimwear is taking the plunge with fringe this season as well!


8. Vintage Fringe – A trip to your favorite vintage store or maybe mom’s closet will score you a classic fringe piece that will definitely make a statement!
Let’s face it, almost every one of us has owned a fringed piece at one point in our lives and it was always fun to wear!  Bring back some of that fun with this season’s fringe trend!

Dressing Up Shorts For Summer

by Amy Welch August 1, 2014

 

I typically shy away from shorts, simply because I hate my legs. However, in the North Carolina humidity, sometimes they are a necessary closet staple! I picked this pair up from Loft last summer on sale and I am so glad I did because they are so versatile! I love silk shorts because not only are they super comfortable, but I love the movement of them.
 
These shorts traveled on a dinner date with me, to a summer outdoor concert and to pick flowers with girlfriends. I believe as we get older we need to pick items in our closet that not only make us feel confident, but items that can accompany us on our many adventures in life. These shorts have me reevaluating my hate/love with showing my legs. I know they are in my future much more this summer!
 
What one item in your closet do you find so be most versatile?

DIY Ombre Manicure

by Danielle Arsenault July 21, 2014

 

Hi there!  I'm Danielle from For the Love of Leopard, a Fashion Blog that chronicles my daily outfits.  I'm so excited to be guest blogging here at Remington Ready.  Today I'm going to show you how to achieve an ombre manicure at home.  And let me tell you, it is as easy as can be!

 

Here's what you'll need:

*  Base coat (I like Gelous - you can get it on Amazon)
*  Bright summer hue (I'm using Essie "I'm Addicted")
*  Any white nail polish
*  Wax paper
*  Bobby pin
*  Fast dry topcoat (my absolute favorite is Seche Vite)

 

1.  First thing you want to do is create the perfect canvas for your nail polish, so give them a quick swipe with nail polish remover to remove any oils so the polish really sticks.

 

2.  Start with a thin coat of your base and allow it to fully dry. 

 

3.  Apply your bright summer hue (in my case, Essie "I'm Addicted") to both of your thumbs.  This is going to be the darkest shade of your manicure.

 

4.  Using the nail brush place about 5-6 drops of your bright hue onto the wax paper.  Then add one drop of your white polish to the bright hue and mix thoroughly using your bobby pin.  You will now have a slightly lighter shade of your bright hue.  Apply to both of your pointer fingers

 

5.  Place another drop of the white polish into the existing polish on the wax paper and mix thoroughly.  This should be two shades lighter than your original color.  Apply to both of your middle fingers.

 

6.  And so on and so forth - keep adding drops of white and mixing into the existing polish, creating a slightly lighter color with each white drop.  You're most likely going to have to do another coat, so just follow the same process as above, with a new batch of color.

 

7.  Finish off with a swipe of fast dry topcoat and enjoy all the compliments you will receive on this mani!

Men’s Guide To Summer Style

by RemReadyMan July 14, 2014

 

A trip to the beach. A day on the boat. Two things that make you excited to relax and happy to do nothing at all but watch the day pass you by. We hope your time is filled with opportunities to enjoy the peaceful warmth of the summer sun. Check out these essentials for looking stylish and staying comfortable all summer long. 

 

 

Sunglasses: Oakley & Ray-Ban  Fedora: Zara  Hat: Express  Watch: Armitron


Accessories:

 
Protection from the sun is important anytime you go outside. Make sure to have a pair of sunglasses to shield your eyes and a hat to guard the rest of your face. Choose the styles that fit you best!
Another good accessory to have is a waterproof watch. You’ll want to keep your cell phone safely put away while at the beach or lake, so wear a trusty watch to keep track of the time and make it back for your evening plans.

 

 

 

Shoes:  Birkentstocks, HaviannaPatagonia 

 

Shoes:

 
Foot protection is key. Wear the right shoes for each occasion, with stylish flip flops for casual settings or sturdier water shoes when you’re active at the beach.

 
 

 

 Striped Tank: Forever 21 Hawaiian Shirt: Oldnavy  Blue T-Shirt: Oldnavy Red T-Shirt: Target

  

Tops:


Staying cool in the summer heat is your main objective. Stick with shirts made of breathable cotton that will wick away sweat and allow an occasional breeze to blow through and cool you down. Tank tops are popular when the weather warms up and there are all sorts of fun patterns and designs to show off your unique style.

 

 

 

Floral Print: Scoop  Solid Grey: Nike (via Kohl's)  Solid Red: Forever 21 Soild Turqoise: Style Bop

 

Swim Trunks:

 
All swim wear is not created equal. For a casual day on the boat, go with a floral pattern or brightly colored trunk to keep pace with a nicer shirt and hat. If you’re having a more active day in the water, shoot for athletic fit trunks that will stay comfortable even when wet.
