Kate Foster

Kate Foster is a hodgepodge of seemingly unrelated titles: writer. Blogger. Beauty and fashion junkie. Cat devotee. Art history buff. Harry Potter nerd. Cheesy 90's television fan. Sometimes-gamer. Seasonal sculptor. Mostly she’s a music enthusiast. While her heart and soul belong to 50's and 60's crooners like Etta James, Sam Cooke and Elvis Presley, one shouldn’t be surprised to find her listening to Lady Gaga or Jay-Z. Most days, though, she’s in an indie-punk mood somewhere in between - she counts the Pixies, the White Stripes, M83, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs as a few of her favorites. And while you’ll typically see her bobbing her head calmly at concerts, occasionally she pulls out all the stops for bands like the Black Lips. She treasures her bruises like a child. After graduating from the University of Georgia with degrees in Journalism and Art History, Kate aspires to move to New York City. There, she hopes to continue to write. She also plans on pretending to understand the art at MoMA and stuffing her face with cronuts and one dollar pizza. Kate’s heroes range from Oscar de la Renta and Mindy Kaling to Ernest Hemingway and Rupert Giles. She practically inhales iced coffee on a daily basis. Her favorite color is yellow, and like Buddy the Elf, she considers candy a major food group. She has dreams almost every night involving the coolest architecture and interior design, and has no idea what it means. Seriously, what does that mean?!

Posted on February 25, 2014February 26, 2014 by Kate Foster

All too often, music with a retro flair just doesn’t sound… authentic. Whether the artist is trying too hard to conform to a bygone era, or a combination of several influences results in musical chaos, often, it just doesn’t feel right. Enter The Lovers Key, a soulful duo made up of guitarist Christopher Moll and…

Posted on February 24, 2014February 25, 2014 by Kate Foster

Sometimes, you have to learn to be happy exactly where you are. And, thankfully, once in a blue moon, musical acts like Axxa/Abraxas emerge and remind me again why I’m so proud to be living in Athens, Georgia. The project of University of Georgia alum Ben Asbury is a unique blend of music and art…

Beauty Products that are Worth the Splurge

Posted on February 17, 2014February 17, 2014 by Kate Foster

I live for my Revlons, Maybellines, and L’Oreals, but sometimes, when it comes to beauty, you really do get what you pay for. Now, I’m not telling you to go spend $115 on a Tom Ford brush – which is a real thing, we might add – but there are products out there that really…

5-Minute College Makeup

“Forget makeup,” you may be tempted to say as you hit the snooze button yet again before getting up for class.

But doing your makeup for class…

Lydia Loveless: Somewhere Else

Posted on February 4, 2014February 6, 2014 by Kate Foster

I spent the majority of my time listening to Lydia Loveless’ new album, Somewhere Else, fighting an angel and a devil on each of my shoulders. The angel whispered, “Wow! This sounds a lot like Neko Case or classic country badasses like June Carter Cash!” Just as quickly, the devil urged, “I don’t know. Her…

How to Stay Warm AND Stylish

Posted on January 31, 2014March 6, 2014 by Kate Foster

Okay, so everyone’s making fun of Atlanta for our little snow day slip-up. But you know what? It was freezing, and people everywhere were piling on the coats, scarves and hats in an attempt to stay a little toasty. Now that we’re finally used to this weather, though, are you hoping to maintain your fashion…
