It’s been awhile since I’ve posted my monthly book recos, but I’ve been secretly dying to find time to share a few must-reads that have really impacted me lately. So here goes! This month’s roundup includes a book that’ll totally change the way you think about vulnerability, a memoir that’ll leave you feeling both devastated and […]
Back in August we sat down with former political advisor Naomi Wolf to talk about what we should be doing during a non-election year, and her insights were truly eye-opening. Naomi’s formidable resume extends beyond just politics — she’s also a New York Times best-selling author. Her 1990 book, The Beauty Myth, is considered a new […]
Be a scream queen.
When we were brainstorming this year’s collection of Cult Classic Costume Ideas, Chanel brought up this little 90’s gem and everyone was instantly on board. Even though Kristen Kilpatrick was slated to shoot the story, we pretty much had to have her model alongside our resident fitness expert Marnie Duncan of Mod Fitness. So she set the camera […]
Call me superficial, but I always look forward to that first cool, crisp day in the fall where I can actually spend a little time styling my hair and actually enjoy the results of my handiwork throughout the day—rather than having my locks descend into a frizzy mess as they do all.

With the latest trends in-hand, we’re all bound to have a similar experience when the sales associate says, “You know, if you open a store credit card, you can save 20% on your […]

Enter: lip color. There are few makeup products that […]
It’s been about a year since Instagram unrolled “stories”, and since then we’ve seen some clever use — and complete abuse — of the video platform.
