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.

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 Best Blushes for Glowing Winter Skin

Gray skies, harsh winds, slushy streets…no offense, winter, but you ain’t the prettiest season there is. Once we get to January, I start to feel like I’ve lost my luster entirely. (Hey, a girl can only endure so many nights that start at 4:30 pm before she starts to forget what a summer breeze feels […]

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 […]

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 Black Jeans

Especially as I hit my late twenties, and now thirty, my focus has shifted towards building a classic wardrobe of pieces that I love, that I can wear for years, and that I know I’ll look and feel great in. And that was the inspiration behind our recently-launched Essential Pieces series that’s all about the way I really dress […]

Best Teeth Whitening Products

The new year is a perfect time for fresh starts — and, since my self-pampering routine took a major hit amidst the craziness of December, I’m starting off the year with some beauty resolutions to go alongside my financial/spiritual/self-betterment goals. Besides for the obvious intentions of keeping my eyebrows plucked, my nails chip-free (bare nails […]

Pregnancy Skincare 101

It’s one of the “joys” of pregnancy: crazy hormones send your skin into a tailspin of dryness, acne, or redness, but there’s such a dearth of research out there about what treatments are safe to use during pregnancy that launching any kind of new product regimen can be scary. Now that I’m on my second go round, […]
