Best Face Masks

Ever since I was a child, I’ve associated face masks with a sort of feminine mystique. Perhaps because it’s a cliché in movies for a woman to “primp” or “unwind” with green goo smeared on her face, I always thought that taking a few minutes to relax while some magical potion works its wonders on […]

Weekend Daze

The term TGIF has never felt more poignant than it has the past few weeks.  Aaron has been traveling a ton for the show and I have been styling back to back shoots and keeping up with all of our blog content as well, which means that by the time Friday afternoon rolls around, all three of us are ready […]

The Art of Layering

I’ll never forget my first Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend: we had only been dating a few months, and as rather unenlightened wee things we got dolled up and trekked to the “nicest” restaurant in town. There, we joined seemingly every other couple in Austin to find our white tablecloth covered table adorned with a tight […]

Bardot Inspired Hair

Hair and concept by Maritza Buelvas | photography by Cassandra Eldridge | makeup by Brenda Arelano | modeling by Willow Star When we think of the most iconic names in hair history (think “Farrah”, “Jen”, “Twiggy”) there’s one that we just keep coming back to again and again: Bardot. Parisian ingenue and darling of the […]

California Dreaming

I have become such a California girl when it comes to cold weather.  There is definitely an argument to be made for experiencing all four seasons, but I don’t hate that I laid out in my backyard in a swimsuit on Sunday in the 85 degree weather.  That’s not the only thing I love about […]

How to Shop Vintage for Your Body Type

So excited to welcome my favorite vintage shopping expert on the planet, Beth Styles (and no, the last name is not coincidence — Beth is married to my big brother!) Beth is the owner and curator of Parsimonia Vintage in St. Louis. I’ve always admired the way she uses fashion as an expression of creativity, and more […]

The secret to glossy hair

You know that girl — the one in your facebook feed with impossibly good hair. In EVERY photo. She automatically seems more confident, more successful, and more put-together, because our hair has such a big impact on our overall appearance. Thick, shiny, richly hued hair is a symbol of youth and health, so there’s no […]

Tinsel & Twine

But hey, when you’re busy running a buzzed-about event design shop in Brooklyn, it’s impossible not to be excited about concepting the next big thing for your clients. “It’s […]

Styld.By: Casual Work Day

For me, a day at the office never looks the same… and I wouldn’t ask for it any other way! I might be at my desk working on blog posts or interviewing subjects, meeting with clients at a coffee shop, scouring local stores for props, or (as I was on the day these shots were taken), scouting cool […]

Wearing Many Hats

With the second week of January coming to a close, I think it’s finally time to put away our “Happy New Year!” greetings and come to terms with the fact that 2015 is in full swing!  This year, I’m embracing all of the many hats that I wear– mama, wife, stylist, blogger, friend– and choosing […]

The Camel Turtleneck

Have you ever owned an item of clothing that is so cozy, you want to curl up in it on the couch at home… but that’s also so chic that it garners compliments wherever you take it? This waffle cashmere turtleneck from Hatch is that staple piece in my closet — I’ve worn it constantly (including […]

The Fashion Sneaker

We have good news for your soles: sneakers are officially in vogue. Get ready to jog your way into a more fashionable and comfortable 2015, because sneakers are no longer relegated to the gym! Since I’m personally smitten by pumped-up kicks, I enlisted the two most stylish gals I know to model a pair for this month’s […]
