10 Best New Coats of the Season

For someone who lives in a warm climate, I own an absurd amount of coats. I love them for adding shape and drama to an outfit during the few cold months we get a year in Austin. This year I combed the racks of all of my favorite online retailers to find the ten best new coats […]

9 Dry Shampoos That Will Bring Your Locks Back to Life

The day of a big event or a night out, I usually blow-out and style my hair in the morning since I know I probably won’t have time to do it later. But by 6 o’clock, my fine hair has almost certainly lost it’s “oomph.” For reviving limp locks, dry shampoo is my ultimate secret weapon; with a few […]

New Fall Lip Shades That Flatter Everyone

So, it’s no secret that girls love fall (Pumpkin spice! Changing leaves! SWEATER WEATHER!), but I love this season for a slightly more uncommon reason: fall lipsticks! There’s nothing like the first time you swipe on a rich berry, matte brick, or velvety nude lipstick after months of applying the same pink-and-coral lippies all summer. […]

Twisted Side Pony

A few weeks ago we held an open call for models on instagram and the response was truly overwhelming. We had so many truly beautiful, stylish readers who were willing to be a part of our beauty tutorial series! It was next to impossible to choose from all the applicants, but reader Taylor Boose (with her gorgeous […]

The Best Tinted Moisturizers

I know, I know… it’s fall. So, you might expect me to be advising you to switch out the light tinted moisturizer that you wore all summer with a heavier, more opaque foundation in honor of the changing season…right? Well, if you’d like to get your foundation recommendations, you can head right over here. But […]

Over-The-Knee Boots

The number one sign that fall has arrived? (and no, I’m not talking about pumpkin spice lattés.) The arrival of a beautiful new pair of boots on my front porch, and an absolute craving to start wearing them despite the still 90-degree temps here in Austin. I’ve always been a boot girl; once October rolls around, I pretty […]

Mindful Mornings with Kick Pleat’s Inspiring Owner

Shop owner Wendi Koletar is a woman who inspires many adjectives: “She’s such a visionary,” “Wendi’s a total BOSS,” and “She has the best taste of anyone, ever,” are just a few of the descriptions I got when asking some of our mutual friends about the owner of style mecca Kick Pleat. With a gorgeous new 3,400-square foot […]

The Lipsticks That Beauty Experts Can’t Live Without

They say that nothing makes you feel better than buying a new lipstick, and I’d have to agree: it’s the quickest, most affordable “splurge” that can improve a bad day and make you feel instantly more confident. But it’s equally great to have one go-to lip color in your arsenal that can always be relied upon to […]

The Chic Way to Mix Patterns

ed. note: Trends come and go (seemingly at warp speed these days) and I think there are very few things that always feel chic every season, year after year. What belongs on that list for you? A white button-down, of course, and a cropped leather jacket and nude ballet flats are pretty much always cool. […]

Get Ready for Fall With These 7 Gorgeous Upgrades

On a routine trip to Sephora last September, I impulsively picked up a face mask that listed pumpkin as one of its main ingredients — who knew that the squash infuses your skin with antioxidants and gently exfoliates? I brought it home, opened the jar, and instantly my shower was filled with the most luscious […]

7 Products to Steal from Your Boyfriend

I’ll be honest: while I like to believe that I’m not as high-maintenance as some ladies out there (like my always-immaculately-turned-out mother), the truth remains that I am not a tomboy. I like beauty products, and I like them a lot (hence the career choice!). However, while I’ve always been enamored by the search for […]
