The Best Natural Skin Care Products for $20 or Less

Admittedly, I’ve become a little bit obsessed with natural skin care over the past couple of years. I’m actually less motivated by the fact that these “clean” products are healthier for me (although that is definitely a huge factor), than the fact that I simply find them to be more pleasant to use and more […]

Desperately Seeking Cindy

Recently we were all chatting about our favorite bygone fitness trends (Tae Bo? Zumba, anyone?) and I realized I’m the only one here in the studio old enough to have been fully obsessed with Cindy Crawford’s Workout Challenge tapes in high school. If (like my colleagues) you’re too young to have ever owned a VHS, let me […]

Swimsuit season is upon us, and with it comes a special sort of terror for those who suffer from chest and back acne. But don’t worry — there’s still time to clear this pesky issue up before summer. We met up with Dr. Rachel Gordon, a dermatologist at North Dallas Dermatology, to talk about what […]

These are the Best Grown Up Acne Treatments

I cringe at the thought of my high school skincare routine. I was (shocking for a future beauty editor) obsessed with products and tried different things all the time. Like many teenagers, I was convinced that I needed strong scrubs and bracing toners to clear up breakouts. If it’s not burning a little, then it’s […]

The Prettiest Nude Lip Colors for Spring

With the temperatures warming up here in NYC (finally!), I’m stashing all of my dark lip shades and searching those elusive your-lips-but-better shades that brighten my face without looking overly bright or heavy. Thankfully, the market has been delivering with some truly beautiful natural shades for all skin tones this year. Whether you prefer matte […]

8 Ways to Wear Cowboy Boots like a Street Style Star

The fashion industry loves the occasional fling with cowboy boots. It seems like every 6 or 7 years, there they are again. But here in Texas, boots are a lifelong love affair. We have junker pairs from thrift shops, high fashion versions from Neimans, and (for the serious collectors) custom creations from legendary bookmakers like […]

10 Shirtdresses You Need In Your Closet This Summer

Collar? Optional. Sleeves? Take ’em or leave ’em. Buttons, however, are mandatory, and add to the laid back, easy appeal of this summer staple. Throw one over a suit for an impromptu splash, or pair with chunky heels for a dinner date. The beauty is that there’s no wrong time or place for a shirt […]

What to Wear on a Plant Shopping Weekend

images by Kristen Kilpatrick Now that the weather’s getting warmer, there’s no way I’d rather spend a sunny Sunday afternoon that shopping for plants to add to my growing collection (pun intended.) While Adam’s the master of our backyard landscaping, I’ve started quite the indoor garden of my own made up almost entirely of succulents […]
