We’re all about updo’s during the summer here in Austin, but when it comes to weddings and more formal events, the plain ol’ messy top knot doesn’t feel quite right. So we asked stylist Erica Rae to help us come up with a great “guest-of” solution that will get us through those hot outdoor ceremonies without […]
Until recently, color-correcting makeup seemed to be one of those things that was relegated to the category of “makeup artist voodoo,” (also known as something too complicated for us mere mortals to use on a daily basis.) Plus, some color-correcting products of the past had thick, chalky textures that could almost make the uneven situation […]
Summertime in Austin is no joke — we’re desperate for ways to keep cool, and all too often find ourselves trying (in vain) to put our hair up at a restaurant without a hair tie. Stylist Erica Rae taught us this nifty trick for making a braid stay put without a rubber band and we couldn’t wait to […]
I’m always in awe (and a little skeptical) of the models and actresses who claim to “wear no makeup” when they’re off-duty and still manage to look glowing and gorgeous. I don’t even have to worry about paparazzi shots, and you’ll still rarely catch me without at least a touch of concealer and a coat of […]
Weddings have long been my favorite excuse to buy something fabulous to wear. These days I’m having more fun than ever — with the rise of destination ceremonies I can now take inspiration from the place as well as the occasion. Trust me when I say that dressing “on theme” will totally make the bride’s […]
There are few articles of clothing that channel the breezy attitude of summer quite like a white dress. Whether clean and classic or short and sexy, to me its the ultimate symbol of la dolce vita. I usually add one to my wardrobe each year, and nothing pairs better with sun kissed skin, a loose bun and a […]
Ah, summer. You’re finally here, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. There’s nothing like feeling the warmth of the sun on your face after a long winter (and a long, chilly spring, depending on where you live)—but, if you’re not careful, that hint of sun on your skin can turn into a full-on burn. You […]
When we first met our friend Nathalie Holmes, we couldn’t get over her incredible “faux hawk” hairstyle. The up-and-coming Austin actress (and blogger behind Pretty Funny Girl) has major confidence, and that translates into rock star hair. We couldn’t wait to find to find out exactly how she does it, so we were pretty excited […]
Working on today’s round-up, I realized how much we live in a style bubble in Austin. There’s definitely a certain look to the girls in this town, and during the summer months it’s more apparent than ever: cut-off shorts, everywhere. I’ll admit, I’m guilty too! But nothing compares to putting on my light-washed, low slung, super distressed boyfriend […]
Toners: they kind of seem like the weird outliers of the skin care industry, don’t they? For many of us, just the word “toner” conveys a bracing liquid that we used to apply in an attempt to fight teen acne—and, now that we’re out of high school, the entire category of product seems pretty unnecessary. […]
I have some friends who have been rocking rompers for years (myself included), and it’s no wonder why: once you get used to the ease and comfort of wearing the adult equivalent to a child’s playsuit, it’s just about the only thing you want to put on. But it wasn’t until this past year that I […]
Trying to create undone, natural, bohemian looking waves with a curling iron is actually a bit of a paradox — and yet we still find ourselves plugging in at the mirror again and again. Our team is constantly talking about finding good alternatives to heat-styling our hair, so we reached out to stylist Erica Rae […]
Highlighting has been super-on trend lately (strobing, anyone?) but you don’t have to be a Kardashian to take advantage of glow-getting products (promise!) Whether you’re looking to create a sculpted look for a night out or simply add a bit of illumination to your day-to-day look, it’s never been a better time to shop for […]
When we first had the idea for this tutorial, we didn’t realize that there are probably at least 20 different ways to tie a turban. Then we went down a youtube rabbit hole and discovered that techniques can vary every bit as much as the length, thickness, and texture of the fabric used. We tasked […]
