If you haven’t heard of e.l.f. yet, you’ve been missing out on a pretty serious deal. e.l.f. (which stands for eyes lips face) is a relatively new cosmetics line that offers most of their products for $1.00. Now, I have to admit that when I see something that cheap, I typically assume it’s crap. When I first discovered e.l.f., that’s pretty much what I did, thinking it was a good deal, but not something I’d actually use. I figured it must be a subpar product... Read Full Story

I am becoming quite enamored of Marc Jacobs. Everything he’s designed over the last couple of seasons (or umm… EVER) has been super stylish and fashion forward. This show, in particular, was amazing. Jacobs used 60 models to model 60 different outfits. Each model’s hair and makeup was completely different and each of the outfits was unique. Really, very few of the pieces resembled each other. Fabrics, cuts, colors and designs were all completely different. The feel t... Read Full Story

Though I know the merits of protecting my skin from the sun, I am a total sun worshipper. I love the feel of sun on my skin. Unless it’s over 90 degrees (and especially not 106 like we’ve had in Austin lately), I’d rather sit outside in the sun then be stuck indoors in the air conditioning. And, I love the way my skin looks with a tan. I feel I look healthy, fit and just generally sexier when I have a tan. But, I really don’t want to suffer from skin cancer at ... Read Full Story

I LOVE going to the nail salon.  I try to go every 3 weeks to see Taniel, my favorite manicurist at Embellish. Taniel was recently voted ‘Best Manicurist’ in Austin. She’s amazing! Her attention to detail is like no manicurist I’ve seen before. But, even Taniel can’t make my polish last the full 3 weeks between manicures. Before I found the Sally Hansen French Manicure Pen, my french manicure would last about 5 days before it started chipping. I hate slop... Read Full Story

If you’re planning to spend any prolonged amount of time at the beach, pool or lake this Summer, you’ll definitely want to be prepared. It’s the worst when you get out to the pool, are all settled and realize you’ve forgotten something crucial like sunblock. When you pack for a day in the sun, you have to also think about where you might possibly go after your favorite swimming hole. You might need to run an errand, choose to grab a bite to eat or enjoy a frosty b... Read Full Story

This collection was shown on the runway in four different parts: the coat dresses, upholstery fabrics, the gauze separates and the jeweled skirts. I was only a fan of the coat dresses. Miu Miu is intended to be the everyday, younger version of the Prada line. This collection’s upholstery fabrics, long librarian cuts and bejeweled jewel tones was far from youthful, nor was it daily wear with its necklines that plunged to belly buttons. Let’s focus on the good, though. The coat... Read Full Story

This is the first of what I hope will be a recurring post. Kind of a ‘link love’ post, kind of a ’stumbleupon’ list of sites, it will be a list of my favorite news items, sites, items, etc. from the previous week. I won’t promise to post this one a certain date, because I’d like it to be as authentic as possible. In other words, I don’t want to stretch to come up with post-worthy links. Anything you find here will be truly what has inspired me ov... Read Full Story
