Pucker Up for National Kissing Day

Is it just me, or does it seem like almost every day is a “National Something Day”? Whether it’s a day dedicated to pizza or siblings, it seems like every day on the calendar now has its own social-media theme. I have to admit, I’m reluctant to get on board with most of these “insta-trends” […]

10 New All-American Style Icons

Preppy, glam, casual, sporty, rustic… classic American style is hard to put your finger on. It’s ever-changing, yet somehow the spirit of it remains the same throughout the decades. Looking back, names like Newman, Hutton and Kennedy come to mind. We had fun this week in the office arguing (ahem, discussing) what the term “All-American […]

Denim Cutoffs

Our relationship with cutoff jeans is a little bit like our feelings about hot dogs: in the right setting, they’re undeniably perfect. Nothing says “summer” like a homemade pair of denim shorts — paired with the perfect white button down shirt, we like to think we’re channeling a 90’s Cindy Crawford. But handcut denim can […]

How to Have Pretty Feet all Summer Long

It never ceases to amaze me how tough the summer months are on my feet. In cooler weather, when my tootsies are safely enclosed in their socks and shoes, foot maintenance is a breeze — a scrub every once in awhile, followed by a fresh coat of polish, is all it takes to keep my […]

Packing for a Destination Wedding

*this post is sponsored by COVERGIRL – thanks for supporting our partners! There’s nothing better than sharing a special day with people we love, and we happen to think it can be even better when it’s in an exotic location! As much as we might complain about footing the bill for attending destination weddings (see this post from […]

Pool Proof Makeup

We’ve all seen that girl at the pool. You know the one: with full-on pancake makeup and flat ironed hair, awkwardly positioned on her towel to avoid a single drop of water from ruining the masterpiece. Needless to say, we NEVER want to be that girl! We want to be the one who’s up for […]

Best At-Home Hair Treatments

While I can’t say that I’m one for high-maintenance hair on a daily basis (let’s be real, a few extra minutes of sleep will always win that battle), I have learned how important it is to have a few key treatment products in your arsenal to use occasionally to give your hair and scalp a […]

20 Best Espadrilles

I remember getting my first pair of espadrille sandals as a teenager — they were open-toed and canvas with a ropey strap that knotted around my ankle, and they likely began my lifelong love affair with shoes that make me feel like I’m headed to the beach (even though the reality is that I’m usually wearing them in an air-conditioned […]

Game of Thrones Inspired Braid

With an office full of individualistic women, our tv tastes don’t always align (Chanel loves VEEP, Camille never misses Nashville, and I remain firmly opposed to The Bachelor). But lately every Monday morning we can’t wait to discuss the one show we all watch and love — HBO’s Game of Thrones. We’re gearing up for the […]

Bloglovin’

If you don’t know what Bloglovin‘ is, allow me to do the honors (and if you do, skip to the next paragraph): You know all those gorgeous, inspirational blogs you stumble upon every day? Well have you ever wished there was a way to keep track of them all? If so, Bloglovin’ is a total lifesaver. Not only […]

Life-Changing Products from Beauty Insiders

So, a story: when pitching ideas for this column for spring, the lovely Camille herself suggested that I do a story on beauty insiders’ favorite beauty products. Of course, I agreed — what better than to feature all of my favorite ladies, and cop their Holy Grail products and tips while I was at it? […]

Secrets to Perfect Summer Skin

I’ve always found it kind of hilarious that summer has a reputation for being this super-sexy, sultry season. Yes, we’re all dressed skimpier, but sometimes those bikinis can reveal even more than we want them to: I’m talking razor burn, dry skin, not-so-pleasant odors, sunburns and everything else that comes along with long hot days.
