I don’t know if any of you girls watch the Real Housewives of Orange County (the 5th season premiered last night on BRAVO), but it’s definitely one of my guilty pleasures!
While watching, something I could not help but notice was Gretchen’s and Tamra’s hair (and in the previews, the new housewife, Alexis, seems to have good hair as well). I’ve seen previous episodes where Gretchen was shown styling her hair, and she appeared to be using Velcro rollers. Well, I need to find out what her secret is because my hair definitely does not take on the kind of shape her does, or has even close to as much bounce as hers. I am on a mission this season to find out how she does her hair. If you aren’t familar with the show, here are some pics of Gretchen Rossi:
She has a fairly deep side part, and her long side bangs seem to fall and flip just the right way. Love her or hate her, you’ve got to admit she’s got pretty great hair (not to mention styling technique- she always looks like she got a professional blowout!)
Why can’t my hair do this!? seriously!? I don’t know if she is keeping her rollers in really long or using miracle products, but she needs to share her hair routine with the world.
Reminder: Don’t forget to enter my blog contest– it ends at midnight CST tonight!
Here is my Outfit of the Day:
Dress- Papaya ($27); Tights-Hue; Shoes- Jessica SimpsonThe dress has a cute little rosette detail on the top part, which makes it a bit more fun. If you notice I have more color in these pictures, it’s because I used Ulta’s airbrush self tanner, and I’m having mixed thoughts about it- but I’ll post a full review soon.
Thanks for reading, and I can’t wait to announce the winner after midnight tonight!

Veronika.
I love the RHOC! Totaly Guilty pleasure for me too. They are the original and the best. I was shocked to hear that Jeana is leaving the show though? She to me, was the only somewhat-sane one! I am sad about that 🙁 But the new housewife is gorgeous and seems interesting.
V, I think Gretchen's hair is fake! At least part of it is. You can google some pics of her 'Before' plastic surgery and hair extensions etc…she looks like a totally different person. I don't think that in necessarily her real hair we are seeing. At least not 100% of it anyways.
Whoops, meant *is* not *in*
I haven't seen those photos! I will google!
cute outfit!
I am so pale right now, I've been spray tanning non stop for about 4 months so I am giving it a week long break to get it all off and even out.
I like Real Housewives, my season is the New Jersey one. Love those crazies on that one 😀
I love your dress, I LOVE all your outfits!!!
Gretchen revealed how she does her hair on her blog on bravotv.com I wrote it down awhile back let me go see if I can find a link for you.
Here is the link: https://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county/blogs/gretchen-rossi/burlesque-bash?page=0%2C1
I also saw on an episode that she uses Redken hairspray, the one that is in the silver bottle that is tall I forget what its called. Anyways hope this helped 🙂 I'm totally obsessed with the real housewives, I even got the same makeup artist that did Lauri's wedding makeup to do mine for my makeup!
Ally- thanks for posting that, I knew I had seen it somewhere before but forgot where I found it! I would love to see her entire hair routine from start to finish.
I know she is doing an online show now about beauty and aging. https://www.gretchenproject.com/ there is the link if you'd like to check it out!
I love the show as well! I do remember on one episode last season Gretchen showed that she did her hair with hot rollers. I didn't think anyone used them anymore, but her hair is GORGEOUS!!!
love the dress – uber cute! I am guessing that's not a Canadian store eh?
