So I’ve been thinking about my holiday hair and what style I’m looking to achieve. I’m thinking of wearing it down with some bouncy curls after a nice roller set. I’ve also gone conditioner crazy these past few weeks as well. But no matter what a conditioner promises to do to my [...]

Oh yes, Ms. Hathaway. Hello, I don’t believe I’ve seen you on the cover of a US Vogue yet. However, I have seen 18 of your other acting counterparts for the better part of a decade now. Every now and then I may see a model, but I don’t count on it.
I’ve [...]

My self-imposed break from American Apparel isn’t going to last. Why? Because I need to get the beret posted above. I have a Marc Jacob’s beret that I bought not long ago, but I like that this one kind of…fluffs up just right.
FYI, it does come in raspberry as well.

The thing that I love about fall/winter the most are the tights/stockings. Nothing signals the start of the cold season to me more than covering up the bare legs. I’m a big fan of Givenchy hoisery, which is pretty durable and they always have some nice patterns. However, I see that [...]

Polyvore is fun. It lets me create what I would wear if I had the means. I signed up awhile ago, but I hadn’t created any sets. I was just playing around and created the set below. I used Ms. Jourdan Dunn for my hair inspiration (yes, hair inspiration) and created [...]

This Belfast born jewelry maker has been on my radar for awhile now. Many of his pieces have a uniqueness to them, yet I can always tell when a jewelry piece is by Tom Binns if I spot it in an editorial or on a celebrity.
When Michelle Obama rocked a Tom Binns necklace [...]

As many interested in fashion know, it has not gone unnoticed that fashion has suffered from a lack of diversity in the past few years. A few months ago, American Vogue had an article titled, “Is Fashion Racist”, which featured Chanel Iman, Jourdan Dunn and Arlenis Sosa. And Black models (and other ethnicities) [...]

I’ve always been intrigued by the oil cleansing method, and I know many people who swear by it, especially when they use castor oil to wash their face. I’m slowly getting into it and it brings me to my stellar review of Shu Uemura’s Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium. I was a bit skeptical of using [...]

I’ve been in search of the perfect leather jacket for a long time. Yes, a leather jacket, even though I need to be wearing a parka in this weather. I’d like something with a nice cut, bomber style/biker style and very smooth. Thing is, like everyone else everywhere, I’m a chick on a [...]

WWD posted designer sketches that were submitted if they were to design for the future First Lady’s innagural activities. For the most part, I liked many of them. Mrs. Obama has been hailed as a fashion breakout star during the campaign citing Chicago-based designer Maria Pinto as her early favorite. And I personally [...]
