What does it mean to thrive right now? Here’s how people are doing it. | Elizabeth Wellington

What does it mean to thrive right now Heres how people are doing it. Elizabeth Wellington

Read Full Article

Recently I ran into a girlfriend who I hadn’t seen in more than a year. I asked her how she was. Her answer: “Girl, I am thriving.”

She looked fantastic. Yet as we fist-bumped, I wondered: What did she really mean?

 

 

 

DREA RICHARD, 48, OWNER OF ANDRE RICHARD SALON
Thriving means: “Doing activism in a way that I didn’t see coming. [Since the pandemic,] I’ve been working with a local branch of the Equality Federation. We are actively trying to get the Equality Act — that would protect LGBTQ people from discrimination — a federal law. Through the whole pandemic, I was in survival mode. I realized that even if my life wasn’t perfect, I needed to do more.”
How I get there: “Getting back to the basics. Going to bed early so I get the right amount of sleep. That’s the only way I have the energy to be productive.”

Philly Fashion and Lifestyle Blogger Priyanka stopped into the salon for a spring refresh! Check out what she had to say.


 Paint The Town Chic

Spring is just around the corner...and with that comes the itch to throw out the old and bring in the new.  For me, I really wanted to do something different with my hair.  My length was getting boring and I had been wanting to add a natural highlight as well.

Does fashion have a place in politics?

Article by Elizabeth Wellington, FASHION WRITER

https://goo.gl/images/pAUL2N

 

Beauty Expert Philadelphia Hair Salon"Politicians [and their spouses] are public figures, so they set trends, whether they like to or not. There are [Melania Trump] pussy bow blousesz everywhere. And when Michelle [Obama] wore mustard, everybody wanted it. Then there are the salon products that I have bought over the years that have backed good causes and helped people in need." -Dréa Richard

Patricia visited the salon recently and saw Ryan - Senior Stylist. Here is what she had to say after!
 
I’ve kept my hair the same just about my whole life. Occasionally I’ll cut it shoulder length or get some highlights but it has never drastically changed. I figure if it works, why mess with it? Each season though I like a little refresh. You know, lighter for summer and darker for fall. To get my fall color on I stopped into Andre Richard Salon. It was my first time to the salon and it didn’t disappoint.

Talking Fall Fashion with Philadelphia Inquirer

A few weeks back, the team and I collaborated with some amazing Philadelphia area retailers and the Philly Inquirer for a fall fashion spread.

(You may have seen it.) It was an amazing day filled with fashion, art, and style — and we were honored (and thrilled) to be included among the styling team! ARS Stylist, Erin Gallagher styled the hair for the shoot and I worked on the makeup.

Last night, the who's who of the Philadelphia fashion and retail scene — as well as ErinRachid, and I — came out for a special "Fall Fashion Event" at the Inquirer building in downtown Philadelphia. It was a panel discussion lead by famed Philly.com and Philadelphia Inquirer fashion journalist, Elizabeth Wellington.

Along with me, the pannel was composed of Ellen Shepp (from Joan Shepp) and Ann Gitter (Owner of Knit Wit) representatives from Theory and Alica DiMichele

Each of the designers styled the model — Malika Miller — to show a look that best represented their brand's signature style: Ann Gitter worked the theme of the shoot (monochromatic styling) along side the recurring texture trend. Ellen Shepp showed the crowd how to do the athleisure trend right before offering a word of advice. "Play with your look and try different things" she advised the crowd, "And, if at the end [of the getting ready process] you don't feel good leaving your house... don't."

Known for their mastery of minimalism Theory showed off a look combining texture and monochromatic colors while the Alica DiMichele team showed off the art of sexy.

In the world of makeup... It's all about berry colors on the lips this season; warm, cool, and everything in between. I recommend layering up; you can't go wrong with an ombréed lip and don't be afraid to go bold — deep reds are in!

Mother's Day Photoshoot with Philadelphia Inquirer

Mother's Day Photoshoot with Philadelphia InquirerAndré, Rachid and Stephanie were honored to be a part of a beautiful Mother's Day Fashion spread for the Philadelphia Inquirer. 

 

 

 

 

Elizabeth Wellington, Fashion Columnist

Jumpsuits - whether toe-touching, strapless, or cap

sleeve rompers - are among the most versatile of

this spring's fashions.

Yet despite the slip-on appeal of the all-in-one, we tend to ascribe age limits and height requirements when it comes to deciding who can wear them.

"Jumpsuits aren't appropriate for women over ___ ," or "You need to be at least ___ to pull one off."

Nothing could be further from the truth.
