As much as we love our curlers and straighteners, there are downsides to hot tools. First, there’s the heat damage — no matter how much protectant we spritz on our locks before styling, high heat can still do quite a number on our strands. However, the thing we really don’t like is having to deal […]

Just like our favorite shoes, coats, bags and makeup, denim goes through seasonal trends. Whether we’re all hunting for the next mom jean, coverall, or (eek!) low-rise pair, jeans have undergone a total style revolution season after season. Despite the onslaught of trends (and we expect many more to come our way once the temps […]

Now that 2020 is here, we’ve been taking the time to assess both our health and fitness goals. Whether we’re committing to working out five times a week or we plan on totally revamping our diets, there’s no time like now to take a step back and truly evaluate where we’re at health-wise. One of […]

Wondering what the heck we’d really use an Apple iPad for? More like what wouldn’t we use it for! Seriously, this lightweight Apple iPad 2 is one of the most convenient gadgets you’ll ever own. Because as awesome as smartphones are, answering emails while squinting at that small screen gets old really fast. Not to mention the […]

There’s nothing we love more than an easy throw-on-and-go dress. Whether it’s a casual T-shirt dress for those lazy Sundays when we have to force ourselves to leave our couch, or a breezy little black dress that’s become our go-to for any date night, happy hour, or office party, we can never have enough dresses […]

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 is finally live! Those of Us without the store credit card can finally take advantage of the huge discounts on designer brands, everyday essentials and plenty of gifts for friends and family (no one has to know we decided to cross things off our holiday shopping list months in advance, […]

Let’s face it: Even the best foundations, tinted moisturizers and BB/CC creams can sometimes look a little heavy. Sure, some are better than others, but those usually come at a price — sacrificing coverage for having our skin look like skin. Looking poreless usually means having to opt for a heavy foundation that covers not […]

Duchess Meghan‘s perfectly polished beauty never fails to dazzle us. From her full brows to her perfected smokey eye and laid-back bun, her go-to beauty look dials back on the drama, but still makes a statement. Our favorite part of her signature look, however, is her glowing skin. The royal revealed she always makes sure […]

Ask any fashionista and she’ll share that the key to a timeless wardrobe is by investing in classic pieces. Whether that means finding that one pair of jeans that makes our legs look miles long, a leather jacket that somehow looks good with everything we pair with it or a basic white tee that’s saved […]

Listen up, Game of Thrones fans! While there’s certainly no shortage of ways to channel Khaleesi (AKA Daenerys Stormborn, House Targaryen, First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Breaker of Chains and, of course, Mother of Dragons) either by co-opting her iconic braided hairstyles or her breezy blue dresses and […]

While it certainly doesn’t feel like it right now (we’re dressed in puffer jackets and about 17 layers of sweaters, thermals, scarves and vests) spring is truly just around the corner. OK, not “just around” the corner, but it’s slowly but surely inching closer and closer! Dreaming of a day where getting dressed doesn’t involve […]

We’ve all been there: Hitting snooze one too many times, only to realize that if we don’t get up right at that very moment, we’ll be not-so-fashionably late to work. The worst part about getting up late? Besides not having time to get coffee, we can’t stand having to do a semi-full face of makeup in […]

We’re halfway through winter, which means one thing: Spring is just around the corner! Well, not quite around the corner — it’s not Valentine’s Day or anything — but we’re finally inching closer to days that it’s not so cold we have to wear a double-digit number of layers just to keep somewhat warm. While […]

While we might not necessarily have the budget or lifestyle of a royal (though we totally love to imagine we’re having high tea with the Queen Elizabeth or hanging out with Duchess Meghan) we can certainly try to dress like one. While many of the royals’ most covetable looks are high-end and designer (and therefore unaffordable) […]

We have some good news and some bad news. The good news: Winter is halfway over and spring is only a month and a half away! The bad news? For those of us that live in a cold or temperate climate, we know that winter is hardly over and it’s bound to stay cold at […]

Let’s be honest: Many of us spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on our hair every year. From haircuts to color services to various treatments, there’s a reason we have such close ties with our colorists, stylists and hairdressers — we log plenty of hours in their chairs! Beyond the professional services, we spend our […]

Commuting is a struggle, at best. If we take the train, we’re squished between dozens of people (and smells!) all while doing our best to hold onto a rail to keep ourselves from falling over and toppling into another equally-miserable rider. Buses aren’t much better — we’re still sandwiched between dozens of people vying for […]

The new year might have just begun, but our minds are still firmly in the past. No, we’re not talking about what we’ve been up to in 2018! Instead, we plan on going even further down the rabbit hole and using the start of 2019 as an opportunity to learn about our pasts, namely our […]

Being smack in the middle of January means two things: Gyms stuffed to the brim with everyone who’s resolved to stay fit this year and, of course, diets. Look, we all know that most fad diets fail and most resolutions only last a few weeks or months before getting put on the backburner, but the […]

While everyone is making New Year’s resolutions to hit the gym harder and more often or eat healthier, we have one thing on our minds instead: Getting our self-care on! Ringing in 2019 is a great excuse for us to treat ourselves to everything from face masks to hair goodies, especially in the chilly winter months. […]
