Spring 2010 Trend Report: Florals
A lot of fashionistas are reluctant to jump on this trend, and with good reason. Done incorrectly you could end up looking like your Grandmother’s sofa. Done right, florals are a great way to liven up your Spring wardrobe. The fun flirty print is a welcomed change from Fall’s badass leather and studs, and can [...]
Tips on looking older + Hayden Panettiere’s new short hairstyle

While this may be true, the desire to look older isn’t always reserved for the teens (of course the motivations may be different).Thanks to all the beauty and health awareness, gene [...]

Review: Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge
#MakeupMonday A few weeks ago I spotted the Sonia Kashuk blending sponge at Target, and since I had been planning to try the Beautyblender I decided to give this one a try.

Hillary was spotted shopping in LA over the weekend in a Spring appropriate ensemble. She paired a black maxi dress dress with cut out back detail with a grey scarf and gold accessories.

Do, Dump or Marry Denim Shorts with Tights

A Crash course in Signature style + Recap of The Real McCoy
I caught the premier of Lisa Raye’s The Real McCoy on TVOne last night, and while I hate to get attached to another reality TV show, I think I will give this one a chance. I’ve always known LisaRaye for wearing white. There are only a few people that I can associate with a color, and she is [...]
