Shampoo and Conditioners That Make Every Day a Good Hair Day

When it comes to hair, it seems that we often want what we don’t have. Here in the CS office, the straight-haired girls among us pump up our locks with dry shampoo, while those with natural curls are always looking for ways to fight the frizz. The one constant is that our hair is undoubtedly […]

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.

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.

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 Nail Polishes Our Editors Swear By

I’ll admit I’m not the best at-home manicurist, but there’s no question that having the right polish makes the job 10x easier for us amateurs. We polled our beauty council of experts to find out their tried-and-true polish picks, and many of these do triple duty by strengthening, conditioning, and adding the perfect no-chip shade of […]

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 […]
