4 Steps to Fuller Brows

I love playing that game where you have to choose the one beauty product you’d take with you if you were trapped on a deserted island. This might surprise some of you, but if I could only wear a single article of makeup, I think I’d choose something to fill in my brows. I was not blessed […]

The Best New Spring Scents

Sure, warmer temperatures are wonderful, but the number-one thing I look forward to in the spring isn’t simply more sunshine and rising mercury. My favorite thing about those first few above-40-degrees days is the freshness and sweetness that comes into the air; the promise of flora and fauna that are to come. To complement the […]

The Lavender Eye

There’s no easier way to shake up your cold weather makeup routine than by adding an unexpected pop of color. We met up with uber-talented makeup artist Avery Allen at Sabia Salon to talk about what’s new for spring in terms of hue: “Lavender eye shadow was a big hit on the S/S 2015 runways, […]

Achelle and Carly

photographed by belathée There are run-of-the-mill girlfriends, and then there are the ones who will tell you when you’ve got lipstick on your teeth. The ones who will help you get out of that amazing (but snug) pair of pants. The ones who will always make you feel loved (even when your boyfriend doesn’t.) Achelle […]

10 Gorgeous Green Accessories for Spring

It finally feels like spring is in the air, and I am itching to reach for the more colorful options in my closet. Still, I’m transitioning into my favorite season slowly, holding off on the pastels for now and instead eyeing all things green. From chartreuse to evergreen, there isn’t a shade I don’t like, especially when […]

My Favorite Austin Beauty Spots

If you haven’t noticed by my constant gushing, I LOVE living in Austin. It’s such a unique mash-up of funky beloved “institutions” that have been around for ages and hip of-the-moment spots that are opening faster than I can keep up with them… and the beauty scene is certainly no exception. I obviously have my little […]

Spring Denim

In college I was obsessed with the movie Almost Famous!  Anyone else?  My roommates and I even had a theme dress viewing party in our living room where I did my very best to channel my inner Kate Hudson.  While my fall/winter style tends to be more east-coast-prep-meets-classic-californian, in the spring and summer it definitely […]

6 Recipes for Beautiful Skin

Whether you’ve been struggling with skin problems for years, or are just trying to get a leg up on aging, there’s no doubt that most of us spend more time (and money!) on our skincare regimens than we care to admit. After my own decade-and-a-half long battle, my complexion finally mellowed out — and the answer wasn’t sitting […]

Multi-Use Makeup

As much as I love beauty products, an extensive product habit poses two problems. First, collecting lots of products is a bit expensive. Second, my arsenal of primping helpers takes up a fairly decent amount of space —  both at home, at on the go in my much-too-heavy purse. Thankfully, as much as I love […]

No-Commitment Highlights

Confession: I’m a hair color virgin. It’s not that I’ve never wanted to color my hair: in junior high, I fantasized about Gwen Stefani’s platinum blond, and I’ve had more than one episode of thinking about going really dark and dramatic. But the color I’ve tossed around most consistently through the years is adding streaky golden highlights […]

The Capsule Wardrobe

Earlier this month, I was chatting with my hair stylist and we began talking about the idea of the capsule wardrobe.  I’m sure you’ve seen people posting about it as it’s becoming an increasingly popular idea.  As soon as I walked in the door, I couldn’t help myself.  I promptly put everything in my closet […]

Best Tools for an At-Home Manicure

Despite the fact that I’ve always been a lover of all things beauty, I’ve never quite hopped on the professional mani-pedi train. I know that there are some women who thrive on the efficiency of the super-rushed, in-and-out NYC salon experience, but I usually find the whole thing uncomfortable, cramped, and bizarre. I usually sense that […]

The Wool Coat

There’s probably no better place to make a wardrobe investment than in a great wool coat. Considering it’s an item many of us wear every day through the winter, the cost-per-wear makes even a pricey piece practically pay for itself over time. Just something to consider should you be weighing the value of a big-ticket item […]
