The Freshest Spring Lip Shades

I don’t want to start any fights here, but in my opinion the much-beloved fall season has nothing on spring. Those first few soft breezes on your skin, the dappled light flowing through the fresh blooms on the trees, the scent of aforementioned blooms in the air—it’s simply magic. (Plus, it means that summer AND […]

Hollywood Waves

Y’all *might* have noticed that I tend to wear my hair in the same beachy waves every day, and I’m kinda not sorry about it. But they say that a new hairstyle can put a whole new spring in your step, so I’m trying to mix things up a bit more lately. Our resident hair guru Erica Rae says, “There […]

How to Master “No Makeup” Makeup

As fun as it can be to take one’s time to apply a full face of makeup and get everything exactly right, let’s be real: most of us busy ladies rarely have more than ten or so minutes to prep our faces for the day. Whether we’re prepping for work, the gym, or just wanting […]

Dreamy Disco Makeup Look

When we asked makeup artist Laura Martinez to create something “sparkly for spring” we knew she would come up with something totally fresh. So we paired her up with actress Nathalie Holmes, and together they knocked it out of the park with this disco-inspired pastel look. Paired with a ladylike floral dress, this glittery vibe […]

Getting Dressed With Emma Heming Willis

I love that our new Getting Dressed With series provides the chance to peek into the lives of some incredibly chic women and answer such burning questions as, “What does a typical morning look like for an international supermodel-turned-blogger who also happens to be married to Bruce Willis?” That, my friends, is what we find out today as we peek […]

10 Jeans That’ll Make You Give Up Your Skinnies

I never thought I’d say it, but suddenly my favorite skinny jeans aren’t looking quite as current as I thought they always would. It shouldn’t come as such a surprise — I mean, haven’t pant trends fluctuated in a continual cycle since the dawn of, well, women wearing pants? Still, trying on that first pair […]

Braided Headband

We’re always excited to see what fun ideas stylist Erica Rae will bring to the next shoot, and when she mentioned a “braided headband” we couldn’t wait to see just how she would create it. Brunette beauty Sarah Contrucci Smith was kind enough to model for us (you may remember her amazing Blue Valentine party […]

My Newest Beauty Secret

You guys know I’m a bit of a beauty product junkie, and for the most part, I’ve tried it all. Sheet masks, color-correcting primers, setting sprays, contouring sticks, plumping lip glosses; you name it, it’s probably been in my makeup drawer at one time or another. The one makeup innovation I’d never tried? Airbrush foundation. […]

The Best All Natural Nail Polish Brands

It’s no secret that there are more sketchy chemicals lurking in our personal care products than we’d like to admit. While as a beauty lover I’ll never give up all of my products for say, a jar of coconut oil, over the past couple of years I’ve been much more aware of the toxicity of […]

Strobing Makeup Technique

Makeup artist Laura Martinez has literally flawless skin every time we see her, so we couldn’t wait to learn her secrets for strobing. (PS: In case you haven’t already heard, strobing is the newest all-the-rage makeup technique that utilizes highlighting and illusion to create your best face possible.) We already know that strobing helps to […]

12 Best Off The Shoulder Tops

If you ask me, off-the-shoulder tops never went out of style. Much like wide leg jeans, I’ve always thought the cut to be ultra stylish and flattering, and even though mainstream fashion is just telling us to love them right now, I’ll forever have a place in my heart for the look. Not only does an off-the-shoulder […]

Nadine Abramcyk

The best pedicure I’ve ever had took place at the new tenoverten that opened in Austin a few weeks ago. Sure the polish was flawlessly applied and the space was gorgeous, but what made it most memorable was sitting next to co-founder Nadine Ambramcyk and bonding over motherhood, a shared love for healthy living, and the joys and challenges […]
