While some fashion trends are fun and fleeting, others stand the test of time. This fall, I’ll be reaching for the usual suspects – plaid, great sweaters and 1,000 boots. But, there’s a new “trend” I’ll like long after the season is over. Structured and small, ladylike croc embossed handbags are everywhere. Available at a… Continue reading Timeless Fall Trend: Ladylike Croc Embossed Handbags

UncompliKated Sunscreen and Make-Up Setting Spray
For several years, I’ve been a big fan of Kate Somerville’s UncompliKated SPF 50 Soft Focus Makeup Setting Spray. A sunscreen and make-up setting spray in one, it is a staple product of mine for a lot of reasons. The first is probably the biggest. It takes no time to put on.

#Basic: Best T-Shirts
Hello, hello. For years, I have searched for the perfect t-shirts and despite my best efforts, have failed. I’ve tried inexpensive and expensive versions from brands that came recommended, but they all had issues. Some were see-through, while others could double as a mini-dress.

Sephora Gift Guide
I have loved holiday beauty gift sets since I was in middle school. My dad used to get my mom perfume each Christmas, and with the purchase, he would often upgrade it to include a new eyeshadow/blush palette. I would immediately start using it and eventually, make it my own. Yes, I am a monster.… Continue reading Sephora Gift Guide
Are We Doing Scrunchies?
Let me start by saying, I don’t know the answer to this question despite the fact that I was a HUGE scrunchie wearer in the 80’s. While some of the new, luxe versions can be super expensive, I found some more affordable options to try first. One was faux leather and is no longer available at… Continue reading Are We Doing Scrunchies?
