White Lace Dress

It’s practically a law that every woman should have a little black dress in her closet, but I think a white lace-y one also deserves must-have status. While sometimes considered a delicate piece reserved for special occasions, by styling your frock with laid-back jackets or casual shoes, you can achieve a variety of different looks. Pair it with a […]

3 Fresh Ways to Wear Flowers in Your Hair This Spring

When we asked stylist Erica Rae to dream up a few fresh ways to wear real flowers as hair accessories, we knew she would come up with something that wasn’t a floral crown, (even though let’s face it — we’ll never stop loving those.).  Food, fashion and lifestyle PR Gal Mandy Mayekawa was the perfect model for these three looks, and […]

4 Myths About Maternity Wear Exposed

Floor length is bad.  Whatever you do, don’t do stripes. You’ll never wear it again. There’s never been a shortage of strong opinions when it comes to the sometimes scary world of maternity wear. Our favorite aunts, sisters, and friends certainly mean well (even Grandma has an opinion!) but more often than not their advice is skewed […]

How to Rock Curly Bangs

Looking back over our catalog of past beauty tutorials, we can’t deny that we’ve neglected to feature naturally curly hair over the years. As a curly-haired girl myself, I can tell you that it doesn’t always photograph well. I’ve always felt a bit limited in terms of possible hairstyles. Bangs are tricky for me because I tend to […]

The Hottest Spring Lipstick Shades

I can’t believe that I can finally say this, but spring is here—and this season, I’m craving a major overhaul of, well, my entire life. This is the year, my friends, that my life is going to get Kondo-ed from top to bottom, my wardrobe is finally going to get capsule-ed, and my makeup bag […]

Mini Skirt + Sneakers

*ed note: This week’s edition of Pulling It Off was inspired by a personal wardrobe challenge. Like the rest of the planet, I’ve started wearing sneakers with just about every type of outfit, except for one that has continue to stump me: skirts! Every time I donned a skirt + sneakers combo, the look ended […]

These are the Essentials for an On-The-Go Makeup Kit

As annoying as it is to see my makeup disappear as the day goes on, I have to admit that “super-long-wearing” makeup usually doesn’t appeal to me. On one hand, I’m a little suspicious of the chemicals that the product contains to essentially stain the skin (they can’t be that healthy, can they?)—but besides for […]

The Embroidered Blouse

ed note: Spring has officially sprung, and with it, my favorite shopping season of the year. Bring on the breezy sundresses, straw hats, and perfect sandals! Of course, a new season is also the perfect time to break out of our comfort zones and try out styles we may not have worn in the past, […]

5 Easy Ways to Add Volume to Your Hair

For me, a good hair day equals one where my hair has as much volume as possible (go ahead and let the Texas big hair jokes fly, I can take it.) I’ve tried just about every trick under the sun, from shampoos to sprays to special brushes, and only a few have resulted in hair […]

8 Daytime Moisturizers to Achieve #NoMakeupSelfie Goals

Gone are the days when the only thing we expect out of our daytime moisturizer is, well, moisture. I need mine to work triple (or quadruple) duty, since I don’t have the time for a 10-step skincare routine when I’m trying to dash out the door in the morning. Sunscreen? Check. Gentle exfoliation? Check. Major […]

10 Best Straw Hats to Wear This Spring

Adding to my ever-growing collection of straw hats is one of my favorite things to do in early spring, when all the fashion lines start revealing their new designs for summer.  (Someday I want to have an entry hall covered in hats, but for now I’m storing them in the back of my closet.) This year’s […]
