Our dear friend and esthetician, Nova, got a great review from Portland Picks! We are thrilled with what they had to say:

"As girls, we loved makeup. The pinker the better—with glitter, please. Times have changed, and since we turned 30, makeup has become more of a requirement (say, anytime we leave the house). But, truth be told, we’d swap a week of makeup for a good facial any day.

And the place is Bare Esthetics, a skincare salon tucked into Bonnet in the Pearl. Nova, esthetician extraordinaire, effuses knowledge and passion for organic ingredients with more than a smidge of technical skill (girl’s got talent!), to give your face all the love and respect it deserves. After recounting your skin history and wash-clean-mask routines, clients receive a customized facial of organic delights—in our case, a steaming enzyme treatment and cooling honey mask. And let us tell you, even the extractions are a breeze! Next up on the menu: medical-grade chemical peels (for sunspots and scarring) and “blink-they’re-done” bikini waxes.

To top it all off, our facial left our face so sleek and soft that we were emboldened enough to walk through downtown, sans makeup, ready to face the world!"

So next time you stop in to Bonnet, have a chat with Nova, and see for yourself how wonderful she is! Here's her info in case you're already convinced!

The new spring collection from Grace hats just arrived, and if the upcoming spring season is as pretty and sunshiny as the new collection, then we've got ourselves a wonderful springtime! The silhouettes are sweet and lighthearted, and the little embellishments make them even more special! The colors are a breath of fresh air that go along with the few days of sunshine we've had here in Portland, and they're a perfect look to spruce up those dreary rainy days! With a spattering of buttery yellow, salmon pink, and metallic grey, the collection is sure to brighten any cloudy day! But hopefully, those days are numbered! Here's to Spring!

...and get yourself something with a little more style. Bonnet has a bunch of great casual caps that are great just to toss on with any outfit. What's the difference between your baseball cap and one of our caps? Not only will they be useful those days when you just don't feel like taking a shower and your hair looks like a detonated mine field, ours will update your entire look, and you will notice people looking at you with a respectful, "Ooh, he's stylish," look, and as we all know, us girls love style! Here's a sampling of some great, no-fuss hats for you to try on:




These hats are all from New York Hat Company, and most are cotton, which means they won't get dirty easily and will keep you nice and cool into the summer months. Stop by Bonnet and find yours!

Jason Mraz

Hats were abundant at this years 51st Annual Grammy Awards. Seen looking stylish in hats included stars such as Jason Mraz, LL Cool J, Ne-Yo, producer Jimmy Jam, and Kristian Bush of Sugarland. Looks like fedoras were the hat of choice, with some caps and ivys also making appearances. Oh, and can I just say how darling Jason Mraz looked in his get-up?

Just in time for Valentine's Day...allow me to introduce you to my new favorite thing...organic lip gloss! These glosses are from Australian cosmetic line Nvey Eco, the only cosmetic line certified organic by the Organic Food Chain...and the colors are amazing! From sheer gloss to sweet mauves to hot reds, they capture the best colors for every skin tone. Nvey Eco is great for senstive skin types, too, since they have nothing but goodness in the ingredients list...here's an excerpt from their site on their philosophy for natural products:

"Formulated with a careful blend of plant and mineral ingredients, natural botanical extracts and antioxidants, NVEY ECO products offer pure, gentle and beautiful make-up products for the most discerning beauty buffs. Ingredients from this unique line of make-up include Natural Beeswax, Rose Absolute, Jojoba Oil, Chamomile and selected prove vitamins such as A, E and C Known for their restorative and soothing properties."

If that doesn't give you warm fuzzies, I don't know what will! Follow an example of those alluring hollywood starlets, with their hats pulled down just so their lips peer out form underneath. Where's your color? Stroll into Bonnet and try on some shades!
