Our First Birthday Party! (preview)

Hello everyone! As many of you know we just celebrated our one year here at

Modest Spot. To celebrate we had our first birthday/ribbon cutting last Friday 2/17/12.

Here are a few rough pictures from that day. Hope you enjoy, cause we did!

El Camino Taco catered the day, bringing us the best, most

authentic mexican food around! 

 A big thanks to everyone who came by to support us that day, and to those of you who have helped and loved us since day one! To many more years here at The Spot!

More pictures to come!

Cheers!

throw away your dry shampoo

So keeping up on the ever changing trends in the fashion world, we came across the newest hair trend straight off the runways of New York Fashion Week-Spring 2012. 

Its called "gym hair" or "glistening hair"

This is great news for all you lunch break fitness fans and late sleepers! 

To achieve this look it seems all you would need is to skip a few shampoos, keep your blow dryers off, and load up on your favorite hair oil (we'd recommend  Fluoro5 Elixer from Number 4 of course!)

Here are some of the looks.Tell us what you think.

Ferretti

BCBG

Cynthia Rowley

Schouler

Helmut

Is this a new spin on the "undone-messy" look or just plain messy?

Either way its a great excuse to embrace that 2nd (or 3rd) day hair,

 but maybe we shouldn't take it much further than that.

Cheers!

so hot right now

So we are all crazy about the Gotye- Somebody I Used to Know song..but who is that mysterious, black haired girl with him? Well, that would be Kimbra. After only a few minuets listening to her stuff on YouTube

I quickly became a fan. This video of a live performance she did really sealed the deal. Her mash-up of

"Two Weeks" by Grizzly Bear and "Head Over Heals" by Tears For Fears is truly innovative. Her vocals and arrangement of the two songs blew me away. 

So enjoy the video and fall "head over heals" like I did. 

xxx's and ooo's,
