Schwarzkopf Professional – BC Oil Potion Treatment

 

As much as I love having platinum blonde hair it typically results in dry brittle hair over time, so when the folks at Schwarzkopf Professional asked if I wanted to test out their new BC Oil Potion line I immediately said, “yes!”

Josey Girl – Beyond Fitness

Myself and my fellow Two Point Oh! LA Bloggers were treated to a special private viewing of the Josey Girl collection before the brand made its official debut.

Designed and created by Beth Clarke, the line was inspired by her active lifestyle (she’s a wife and a mother) and her passion for fitness. Having spent time in the world of competitive body building, Beth came up with the idea to create active-wear that could easily transition from the gym to the demands of everyday life. With this in mind, Beth designed a collection of looks that are not only functional but also fashionable.  Her fun and flirty clothing celebrates the feminine form with an emphasis on detail (such as cute lacey embellishments and faux leather trim) and flatters all body types.

If you live in L.A. you won’t want to miss the band’s record release show at the Troubadour on June 12^th. – NIN

Emerging Designers – LAFC Wants You!

Let’s face it, not every designer can be on Project Runway or Fashion Star (nor may they want to). If you happen to be one of the above you’ll be happy to know that, starting this June, the Los Angeles Fashion Council is launching a new “home town” series in conjunction with Couture Los Angeles geared toward discovering the next great talent in emerging designers.

Archer and Light - Melbourne

Alright, we’ve all been introduced to this new wave of folky-hipster music that just doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. We’ve got Mumford and Sons (who kind of made this popular genre a bit enjoyable), the happy-go-lucky Lumineers, and Of Monsters and Men (I admit that I do enjoy these guys a bit. It might be because of the hint of accent in the lyrics).

Mexican Dubweiser - Revolution Radio

From the depths of Mexico (just kidding, Monterrey) brews a change in the waters when it comes to the music we typically present to you. Bite Me! Music & Fashion is proud to introduce you to Mexican Dubweiser.

There’s a mixture of electronica and cumbia’s resulting in a track that promotes the grabbing of a fresh beer and the continuous nodding of the head while you relax and unwind to some damn good tunes. 

Take a listen for yourself and see what you think? Is this something you can add to your iTunes library? If you liked that click here for samples of “Revolution Radio” and a link to purchase Mexican Dubweiser CD.

Costume Designers Week Launch Party

It was once said that the most memorable movies all have one thing in common: they rely on the magical transformations rendered by costume designers. Recognizing that costume design is a tool to express an art form, Metropolitan Fashion Week hosted a launch party in honor of the first-ever Costume Designers Week slated to take place in October.

Dubbed, “A Way of Life,” these covetable pieces were inspired by her love of the California Ranch lifestyle.

Music Monday – Demo Reviews

Back in the early days we used to do something called demo reviews in order to expose our readers to underground and unsigned bands. Now, thanks to the internet it’s much easier for the public to discover bands from all over. However, just for old times’ sake, we’re going to flash back to those days and tell you about two bands that you most likely have never heard of.
