How to Get Sexy Beach Hair

It’s officially summer, which means that along with ditching my wine lipsticks and heavy foundation, I’ve officially waved goodbye to my blowdryer for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, however, my hair doesn’t necessarily behave when I let it air-dry; without a little product, my locks somehow end up looking both flat and frizzy. How is that […]

11 Best Lace-Up Sandals

You know when a trend comes along that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it? That’s how I feel about lace-up sandals. I just love ’em. After acquiring my first pair of classic flat black beauties, it became clear I needed every color and heel height variation out there. So since I’m spending a […]

Upside Down Braided Bun

We’re all about updo’s during the summer here in Austin, but when it comes to weddings and more formal events, the plain ol’ messy top knot doesn’t feel quite right. So we asked stylist Erica Rae to help us come up with a great “guest-of” solution that will get us through those hot outdoor ceremonies without […]

A Guide to Color Correctors

Until recently, color-correcting makeup seemed to be one of those things that was relegated to the category of “makeup artist voodoo,” (also known as something too complicated for us mere mortals to use on a daily basis.) Plus, some color-correcting products of the past had thick, chalky textures that could almost make the uneven situation […]

Braid on the Run

Summertime in Austin is no joke — we’re desperate for ways to keep cool, and all too often find ourselves trying (in vain) to put our hair up at a restaurant without a hair tie. Stylist Erica Rae taught us this nifty trick for making a braid stay put without a rubber band and we couldn’t wait to […]

How to Look Good Without Makeup

I’m always in awe (and a little skeptical) of the models and actresses who claim to “wear no makeup” when they’re off-duty and still manage to look glowing and gorgeous. I don’t even have to worry about paparazzi shots, and you’ll still rarely catch me without at least a touch of concealer and a coat of […]

Guest of the Wedding Outfits You’ll Wear Again & Again

Weddings have long been my favorite excuse to buy something fabulous to wear. These days I’m having more fun than ever — with the rise of destination ceremonies I can now take inspiration from the place as well as the occasion. Trust me when I say that dressing “on theme” will totally make the bride’s […]

13 Must-Have White Dresses Just In Time For Summer

There are few articles of clothing that channel the breezy attitude of summer quite like a white dress. Whether clean and classic or short and sexy, to me its the ultimate symbol of la dolce vita. I usually add one to my wardrobe each year, and nothing pairs better with sun kissed skin, a loose bun and a […]

The Best Sunless Tanners

Ah, summer. You’re finally here, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. There’s nothing like feeling the warmth of the sun on your face after a long winter (and a long, chilly spring, depending on where you live)—but, if you’re not careful, that hint of sun on your skin can turn into a full-on burn. You […]

How to Rock a Faux Hawk

When we first met our friend Nathalie Holmes, we couldn’t get over her incredible “faux hawk” hairstyle. The up-and-coming Austin actress (and blogger behind Pretty Funny Girl) has major confidence, and that translates into rock star hair. We couldn’t wait to find to find out exactly how she does it, so we were pretty excited […]

12 Best Cut-off Shorts for Summer

Working on today’s round-up, I realized how much we live in a style bubble in Austin. There’s definitely a certain look to the girls in this town, and during the summer months it’s more apparent than ever: cut-off shorts, everywhere. I’ll admit, I’m guilty too! But nothing compares to putting on my light-washed, low slung, super distressed boyfriend […]

What’s the Right Toner for Your Skin Type?

Toners: they kind of seem like the weird outliers of the skin care industry, don’t they? For many of us, just the word “toner” conveys a bracing liquid that we used to apply in an attempt to fight teen acne—and, now that we’re out of high school, the entire category of product seems pretty unnecessary.

13 Coolest Rompers for Summer

I have some friends who have been rocking rompers for years (myself included), and it’s no wonder why: once you get used to the ease and comfort of wearing the adult equivalent to a child’s playsuit, it’s just about the only thing you want to put on. But it wasn’t until this past year that I […]

How To Create Perfect Waves (In Your Sleep)

Trying to create undone, natural, bohemian looking waves with a curling iron is actually a bit of a paradox — and yet we still find ourselves plugging in at the mirror again and again. Our team is constantly talking about finding good alternatives to heat-styling our hair, so we reached out to stylist Erica Rae […]
