You know I'm a baby powder devotee when it comes to my dry shampoo of choice, but when I saw online that Suave came out with a new dry shampoo, I had to try it, even though I already owned the Tresseme Fresh Start dry shampoo (more on that later.) I picked mine up at Target for under $3 and tried it out Sunday morning on my 4th day hair. Let ...
2011 Celebrity Beauty Inspiration: Shantel VanSanten
Shantel VanSanten is one of those under the radar celebrities. I watch her on One Tree Hill each week (yep, I watch OTH, flame away!) and once saw her and Robert Buckley at the airport (I would have asked for an autograph or picture, but I was wearing turquoise, paint-stained cropped sweatpants---don't ask.) You can read the story about ...
Burnt-Out.
As you can probably tell from the title of this post, I am totally burnt-out right now. I've had a lot going on at work for the last several weeks and lots of evening events and early mornings. It finally caught up to me and I know I need to take the time to relax this weekend and unwind after a long couple of weeks...or maybe couple of months. I ...
Review: Urban Decay Afterglow Glide-On Cheek Tint in “Quickie”
When I buy new blush, I almost always immediately go back to my tried and true "peony" blush by Bobbi Brown. So you know when I try a new blush and wear it every single day for more than a week---that I really love it. I'm talking about the Urban Decay Afterglow Glide-On Cheek Tint. I got the color "Quickie" which is a bright pink color that ...
Weekend Shopping: MAC & Sephora
Today consisted of yet another uninspiring shopping trip. I'm really starting to wonder why I even bother anymore. Shopping used to be fun and inspiring and exciting and lately it's been sad, disappointing and just plain dull. I'm still crossing my fingers that it's all because we're still in between seasons, because if this is what I have ...
Looks I’m Loving Lately
The other day, someone asked me on my formspring page how to get out of a style rut. Believe me, I've been there. In my last year of my post-grad program, I recall feeling very lost, style-wise. I had no idea what I wanted to look like or what I should wear or what I liked. I basically spent the year in LuluLemon pants, UGG boots, ...
OOTD (Monday): “That Dress”
Every time I post this dress, I'm reminded of how much I love it. I love the fuller skirt, light yet structured cotton fabric and the buttons that to all the way down the front of the dress (and the fact that I also own it in white.) I can't believe just two weeks ago I was wearing tights and it was below freezing in Houston and Monday it was 78 ...
Obsessed With: Urban Decay Primer Potion
Most of you know I'm not a big believer in primers and what they do for the skin. I have tried many brands of skin primers and I never liked how my makeup looked when I used them (though, to be fair, I use powder foundation and that might be part of the reason.) I have heard countless raves about Urban Decay Primer Potion (or UDPP) from ...
Updating Your Bedroom For Spring: Our New Brocade Home Duvet
We got our gorgeous Butternut Moroccan duvet cover and pillows from Brocade Homerecently and I'm, just now getting a change to show them to you ladies! They are so pretty and I wanted to bring a touch of spring into our home and I think the butternut color of the pattern on these sheets against the bright white background does the trick. I ...
Weekend Shopping: Steve Madden & Sephora
Hello lovely ladies! Today H and I went on a shopping trip where he lovingly accompanied me braved the malls for a shoe-shopping extravaganza (because after last week's Jessica Simpson shoe saga, you know I needed a new pair of simple black heels.) It all began at DSW, where I couldn't find one shoe to try on. We then proceeded to the ...
