Choosing outfits is fun, but every once in a while, it feels more like a chore. This is especially true when uninspired, in a rush or in a mood. Even when I know what top I want to wear, deciding between mom jeans and cargo pants or sneakers and strappy sandals becomes a long debacle. […]

Attitude is everything! Yes, rain can be gloomy, but it shouldn’t be at this time of year. Rain is to be expected; it’s a necessary precursor to a beautiful, bright summer…and who wouldn’t want that? To enjoy the spring though, you have to prepare for the erratic, rainy, occasionally windy weather. If you’re prepared to […]

The whole point of wearing sunscreen is to prevent damage to your skin. When you put on sunscreen to protect your skin, only to have it break out in pimples or redden from irritation, it feels like the skin-protecting mission was completely defeated. Ugh! But luckily, we don’t live in a world where we have […]

There are a select few clothing items that are always in style regardless of temperature or season —  jeans and leggings are those “it” items. Whether it’s the middle of winter or a mid-July evening, jeans and leggings are always on the table. If you’re going for style, you’ll probably choose jeans; if comfort is […]

There are two types of people at the dentist: those who floss and those who lie about it. It’s no secret that flossing can be uncomfortable, especially when you don’t do it every day. Everyone knows flossing is good for overall dental health, but many of Us see it as extra credit, not a requirement. […]

Spring is all about cleaning and refreshing. Many of Us have already gotten rid of some clothes, vacuumed our carpets and reorganized our beauty drawers, but “spring cleaning” can also include swapping old things out and adding some fresh touches. If you’ve been looking to replace the living room couch or (finally) get a new […]

If you’re not sure what to wear lately, you’re not alone. We’re living in transitional weather limbo where it’s not quite warm enough for shorts and sandals, but we don’t need parkas and thick sweaters anymore. It’s a confusing time, to say the least, but luckily we can rely on layers and shackets to get […]

If you’re new to self-tanning, let me be your cool older sister — I’ve experimented with products and methods for years, so needless to say I’ve had my fair share of great and not-so-great experiences. With the right products, prep, application and post-tan care, however, a patchy orange tan doesn’t have to be a rite of […]

The term “versatile” gets thrown around quite a bit in the fashion world; somehow a bright pink pair of stiletto heels is “versatile”. But when considering the versatility of a clothing item, I think about how many outfits I can make with it and how many ways I can style it. If I can wear […]

Perhaps our favorite part of America’s Got Talent is watching two of our favorite gals, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara, give insightful advice, make funny remarks and of course, rock ten out of ten outfits. This past week, Heidi Klum wore a swoon-worthy bodycon dress for the last day of America’s Got Talent auditions — […]

It’s springtime and that means flowers, sunshine, patterns and bright colors. Some of Us are crazy about the flowers and sunshine, but not so crazy about traditionally vibrant and floral spring dresses…and that’s okay! It doesn’t make you a Springtime Scrooge to prefer solid, more neutral colors and an overall understated look. Even if you […]

We’re a little over eight weeks away from the start of sunshine and swimsuit season when we all want to look and feel our best. Maybe you’re still riding high on a New Year’s resolution or you fell off the bandwagon and want to get back on, but either way, now is always the time […]

Let’s face it: makeup is an expensive hobby. It’s one of those things that once you start, it’s hard to stop! Not only is it fun to experiment with, but it highlights your natural features, brightens your complexion and (hopefully) elevates your confidence; if nothing else, it makes some of Us feel “put together” for […]

Contrary to what some may believe, leather isn’t just for biker gangs and edgy teens. Leather has been front and center in fashion since the 1950s…we’ll say it’s probably because of Grease! Everyday people like Us to celebs and even royals like Meghan Markle rock the style, but nobody loves it quite like Rihanna. The star was […]

It seems like everyone is either about to head out on a trip or is returning from one. In lieu of saving a little cash, I (unfortunately) fall into neither one of those categories. Yep — I’ll be braving out the rest of the Midwest spring. But that doesn’t mean I can’t look like I went to […]

It’s spring and that means we’re definitely not ready for shorts, but we’re done with heavy parkas and thick sweatpants. Yes, folks, we’re in the midst of transitional weather season. One of the best ways to win transitional weather is to wear sneakers, always bring an umbrella and layer with tops, tees and cardigans, but […]

Two-piece lounge sets are ubiquitous nowadays — to call them “trendy” would be lowballing their popularity. If you’re looking for one, the seemingly endless options are a blessing and a curse; on one hand, the more the merrier; but on the other hand, too many options can be painfully overwhelming! There are a few ways […]

If you watch American Idol, you know the whole crew, including 24 contestants, has been doing some traveling lately. Host Ryan Seacrest and judges Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan and Katy Perry are currently enjoying luaus and coconuts as contestants prepare to sing on the beautiful shores of Hawaii. Doesn’t sound like a bad gig to […]

Mother’s Day isn’t coming up coming up, but it’s coming up! We’ve got a little over five weeks until we get to celebrate all of the wonderful mothers out there — it seems far away now, but it’ll creep up quickly! If you’ve typically gift shopped last minute, let this be your year to finally […]

Jessica Alba does a lot of things, but did you know she plays golf, too? Back in 2014, she even participated in the Mission Hills World Celebrity Pro-Am tournament with fellow golf-loving celebs like Nicole Kidman and Chris Evans. The more you know! A few days ago, Jessica was spotted celebrating #springbreak on the Hawaii […]
