Perfect High
Last night, Perfect High premiered on Lifetime, and there were several reasons why I decided to check it out. First, it was lead actress Bella Thorne‘s edgiest role to date, and as I’ve been lucky enough to encounter and interview the star at many points in my career, I had to support her project. Then, I’ve […]
Unfiltered Thoughts About Cronuts
Remember when cronuts first hit the dessert scene a few years back and literally everyone on the planet was clamoring to try out the half-donut half-croissant creation? There was no line too long to wait on, when the promise of a cronut was the final outcome. Yeah, so I wasn’t really into it. I’ve never […]
New York Fashion Week: Anna Sui Fall 2015 Hair
I’m all about the hairstyles seen at the Anna Sui Fall 2015 runway show of this New York Fashion Week season. The entire collection was filled with earthy, 1970s-inspired fashions that mixed patterns and textures for a deeply luxurious feel. But the hair and makeup looks were as natural and effortlessly chic as they come, […]
New York Fashion Week: Marc Jacobs Fall 2015 Hair & Makeup
The hair and makeup looks displayed at Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2015 collection at New York Fashion Week had a total futuristic feel to them, but the bold lip colors and topknot hairstyles felt vaguely familiar.

New York Fashion Week: Creatures of the Wind Fall 2015
One of my favorite makeup eras of all time is the 1960s, so the fact that styles from the 60s-70s are coming back into style makes me ridiculously happy.

New York Fashion Week: Tome Fall 2015
If there’s one collection that showed at New York Fashion Week this season that’s all about crisp lines, geometrical shapes, and kicked-up basics, it’s the Tome ready-to-wear collection for Fall 2015. The brand’s outfits and makeup worked in harmony to create a truly breathtaking show. While the terms “wearable” and “simple” tend to be insults […]

MAC x Toledo’s New Makeup Collection Is Where Art Meets Fashion
Call me a dreamer, but I truly believe that great makeup both is a form of art and should make the wearer feel like a work of art. The latest line of fashion-inspired makeup and packaging from MAC is the result of a high-style partnership with fashion and art designers Isabel and Ruben Toledo and it mixes both […]
Make Pretty Much Any Meal Ever Better with Trader Joe’s Seasonings
I have never in my life been the kind of person who dresses up my meals with bold flavors. In fact, if there were a way to take a delicious dish and turn the flavor volume way down, I would have found a way to do it. For years, I have eaten plain spaghetti without […]
