It’s All in the Genes
[tps_header] There are always those families who make you question where on earth your own genes got lost. The one with four kids in college sports or the squad with two successful actors in movies. So much so, that the families with one successful sibling? Eh, could’ve done better. Here’s to some of the first…
A Nod to the ’90s: The Graphic Tee
Oh, the ’90s. A full-on Johnny Depp with Kate Moss (pre-Wiona), Cory with Topanga, Rachel with Ross extravaganza. The relationships were unforgettable (the TV couples even more so), but we must fixate our focus entirely to the fashion. And not just any Ked’s-wearing, flannel-rocking ’90s gal, the t-shirt kind of chick. It’s back. It’s here. The graphic…
Wimbledon Attire: A Match Made in Heaven
Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic just won titles at Wimbledon, crossing out a highly respected grand slam off their to-do list. They did it while wearing white on white, the traditional attire for the Wimbledon tournament. Just because the week of tennis is over doesn’t mean the trends have to end. In honor of Williams and…
Makeup Artistry: The Best Makeup Artists Out There
There’s a reason I’ve always felt weird about putting on makeup in front of boyfriends. It’s as if the curtain has risen, and behind it I’m a little less perfect and a lot more vain – and I blame it on the frivolous associations that people have with makeup. But I’m putting my foot down….
The Best Water and Sweat Proof Beauty Products
There’s no doubt about it: the wavering weather patterns are over, and now it’s smooth sailing through months of unstoppable heat. Well, maybe “smooth” isn’t exactly the right word, at least when it comes to our makeup. This time of year, insane sunshine equals sweat equals cake-y foundation, running eye makeup and faded lipstick. Thankfully,…
Wide-Awake Makeup Tutorial
Ahh, nothing like forthcoming finals to make you remember that your skin is not invincible. The stress, lack of sleep and crappy food can all add up to a big, ruddy mess on your face. But I’ve devised a face makeup routine that will totally cover those purple bags, dull skin, and any blemishes you…
Open Toe Season and the Polish to Go With It
Summer’s here, and open toe shoes are out on the sidewalks again, which means one thing for me: time to frantically buff all of the winter scales off of my feet and choose my first toenail polish of the season. But there are so many sassy shoe trends on the horizon, and picking a cohesive…
How To: Flawless Skin
I like to think of my bright lipsticks, dramatic liner and eye-catching shadows as my style accessories. And my Little Black Dress? Flawless skin. Unfortunately, obtaining it is easier said than done, but after nearly a decade of oily, acne-ridden skin and about a million products, I think I may have found the secret recipe….
Fresh Spring Fragrances
The sun is out, the flowers are blooming, and you’re putting all your sweaters away. Stop right there. There’s one more thing you have to do to officially call in spring, something you may have never even thought about: switching out your perfume. Your winter variety is likely too heavy for the next few months,…
Tutorial: Lorde-Inspired Dark Lips
Fall has come and gone, but my pastel lipsticks are nowhere to be found. Instead, I’m standing out from the spring break crowd with dark, vampy lips, which give my mouth some major attitude. My inspiration is none other than Lorde, soulful singer and goth lipstick queen. But dark lips come with a number of…
