How to Get the Festival Look

What’s your approach to music festival dressing? I think the best looks are a perfect blend of casual and cool — you want to express your personal style and have fun with your outfit without sacrificing all-day comfort. We had such a blast teaming up with Target to scout out the best of ACL festival style […]

Lowlights for Fall

For most of us with highlights, we don’t realize how out-of-control it can get until we see a photo of ourselves. Um… why do I look like I dunked my head in bleach? Over time, what started out as a little subtle color can morph into a platinum mass of damaged hair. That’s when it’s […]

Are You Ready For The Return Of Brown Lips?

For any of us that grew up in the realm of the ’90s and early aughts, the term “brown lipstick” can be, well, somewhat terrifying. The images of brown lipstick seem synonymous in our minds with frosted lip gloss, matte skin, thin eyebrows, and bad, stripe-y highlights…none of which we’d like to see make a […]

How To Trim Your Own Bangs

Trimming your own bangs is a lot like doing electrical work — you do NOT want to try it yourself without first seeking advice from a professional and obtaining a solid set of instructions. We consulted with senior stylist Erica Rae at Roar Salon to get just that, and hopefully this post will help to […]

8 Steps to Glowing Skin

Usually, fall beauty trends are all about smoky eyes, contoured cheekbones, wine-tinged lips (or all of the above.) But this season, the focus is on fresh, glowing skin — a dewiness that comes from being healthy and taking care of yourself from the inside-out, and using makeup to reveal the best version of yourself instead of covering up […]

13 Best Loafers

Of all the shoes in my closet, my current favorites are a pair of dark burgundy velvet smoking loafers. They’re everything I want in a shoe: comfortable, feminine, old-world feeling, and a little bit edgy. They’re just plain chic, and that’s the beauty of the loafer. It’s an up-f0r-anything kind of shoe. A shoe that […]

Your Most Flattering Eyeshadow Shade

In my unofficial studies (read: in my casual polling of friends) it seems that, somehow, eyeshadow is one of the most intimidating products in the beauty world. Not eyeliner, not lipstick, not even self-tanner. Somehow, of my non-beauty-editor friends, not one wears eyeshadow. And I’m not quite sure why. Compared to eyeliner and mascara, shadow […]

The New Book That Every Fashionista Needs

Since Monday morning usually means an inbox that’s bursting at the seams and a to-do list a mile long… what better time to indulge in procrastinating just a little longer? My Paris-based friend Ajiri Aki (remember when we visited her flat here?) just co-wrote a book that’s too good not to share: Where’s Karl is a game, a parody, and […]

Beauty Brush Breakdown

Whenever a friend tells me that she’s “terrible with makeup,” I can usually infer that, in reality, she just has no idea how to apply it. And, honestly, I don’t blame her — there are so many different brushes and applicators out there, I’m sure it seems impossible to determine with brushes are used for […]

How to Pull Off a Bright Lip

What’s your beauty comfort zone? Most of us have one, whether we realize it or not — the exact makeup combo (or lack thereof) that makes us feel most like ourselves. For me, it’s a defined eye (no such thing as too much mascara for this girl!) with a pinky-nude lip. Though I love a bold […]

Are You Using the Right Eye Treatment?

Some might see the words eye cream and think “God, I can’t really be old enough for that, right?” — but, thanks to my mother teaching me right in my early years, I’ve always understood that taking care of the eye area should be a normal part of one’s skin care routine, regardless of age. […]

12 Best Backpacks of 2015

Where did the summer go? Hard to believe it’s already time for back-to-school shopping, and there’s no doubt that the quickest fix for end-of-summer blues is scooping up some new merch! Although it’s been awhile since I’ve actually shopped for school’s return, there are major benefits to rocking a chic backpack to work: major style and convenience, […]
