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” […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
The Perfectly Messy Top Knot
Attention long haired ladies: do you ever find yourself eying that girl with the chic pixie cut and thinking “I wish I was that cool.” Over the years I’ve realized that truly nothing brings a cool factor to an outfit more than daring hair. For those of us who are attached to our length this […]
5 More Minutes: The Workout Workup Beauty Routine
With swimsuit season upon us, we’re hitting the gym more than ever in the month of May. And when it comes to a great barre class, one of the hardest parts (other than simply showing up) is figuring out how to still make that 8pm dinner date looking put together and fresh. So we asked […]
The Right Products for Brows
My mama has taught me lots of very important things — always be on time, be nice to people, “Wear a pretty color!” — but, one of the most valuable lessons that she taught me was how to groom my eyebrows properly. My mom was a model in the eighties, when Brooke-Shields-esque thick brows were […]
The Party Eye
Here’s a real fashion secret: if you don’t have enough cash for a new dress this month, create a fresh look with your hair or makeup. We consulted with makeup artist Avery Allen at Sabia Salon to learn how to create a glamorous nighttime eye that would look great with our favorite old L.B.D. “For […]
Shake Up Your Makeup for Spring
Powder eyeshadow and matte lipstick are my staples during the winter, but around this time of year, I usually find myself craving a change-up in my makeup routine. My favorite way to shake things up? Checking out not just the fresh shades of the season, but the innovative new textures that are available. From demi-matte […]

DIY Blowout
Can we all agree that one of the hardest parts of being a modern woman (that guys just don’t appreciate at all) is how much hidden time and effort goes in to maintaining long hair? We need our blowouts to last — at least for a couple of days. And while we love a good […]
My Morning Skincare Ritual
I used to hate washing my face in the morning. When I woke up, I would almost dread having to groggily go through the steps I knew I was “supposed” to follow to start the day with clean skin. But somewhat recently, I began looking at my morning cleansing, toning, and moisturizing as a soothing ritual […]

The Best Products for Luscious Lips
Maybe it’s in my head, but I swear that I go through cycles where my lips are just so dry that almost nothing I try will truly eradicate that terrible parched feeling. Whether it’s a long plane ride, a night with one too many drinks, or (ahem) a nice long, dehydrating winter, it seems that […]
The Sew-It-Up Updo
When stylist Lauren Phillips of Sabia Salon introduced us to this secret updo technique we simply couldn’t wait to share it with you here on the blog. We’ll admit we were skeptical at first (will the string even hold?) but we’re full-blown converts now that we know it’s actually more secure than using bobby pins. […]
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 […]
