Jam Art Factory: Dublin’s Local Art Hotspot
While all the tourists were cruising past St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin, my attentions were focused around the corner. Jam Art Factory is a funky indie shop and gallery space that sells photos, toys, paintings, sculptures, handmade cards and postcards — all by local contemporary artists in Ireland. While I highly encourage shopping locally, I […]
Manicure Monday: Christmas Trees
Merry Christmas Eve to all of our readers who celebrate! Of course we couldn’t let a Manicure Monday on Christmas Eve pass by without creating a Christmas-themed manicure! Today, using a little bit of tape and glitter, we’ve created a Christmas tree manicure! I love this look because it’s actually way easier than it looks […]
Manicure Monday: Art Deco
With fall in full swing – when the weather is cooperating – it’s time to transition to autumn-inspired beauty looks. Darker hues and deep metallics are big trends for this season, but it can be hard to leave the bright, fun manicures of last season behind. I created this week’s Manicure Monday to combine summer’s […]
NARS Cosmetics x Andy Warhol Collection
The beauty world has been abuzz for months now with rumors of the launch of NARS Cosmetics’s Andy Warhol Collection. Teaser images, projected launch dates (October 1???), and seriously rough product guesstimates have kept us beauty nerds at the edge of our seats. I almost thought someone photoshopped the amazing products just to mess with […]
Manicure Monday: Neon Brights
Happy Manicure Monday, beauty lovers! I wanted today’s manicure to be fun and different. Something that looks difficult, but really isn’t. You can’t get a complicated-looking manicure using only one color (I don’t think!), so the key to this mani is using a lot of bright colors that stand out against each other. Love this […]
Manicure Monday: Inspired by Color
As much as I love looking for inspiration on Pinterest, I know that I’m limited in terms of nail art by what I can actually do and what tools I have at home. It’s more important for me to have a simple-yet-neat design than an intricate-but-possibly-sloppy design. Sometimes when I’m trying to figure out what […]
Manicure Monday: Pink Glitter
Happy Manicure Monday! What I love most about style is how often you can change it up. A girly girl rocking a motorcycle jacket is unexpected and fun. Combinations of lace and leather, pearls and studs, or even flowers and skulls show versatility and creativity when it comes to style. I have days when I […]
Manicure Monday: Bold Stripes!
As a lover of anything that has to do with manicures, I’m constantly trying to come up with something new and fun for Manicure Monday. To me, Manicure Monday has become more than just showing off what cute color I’m rocking that week. To be honest, I can’t have a Manicure Monday without making it […]
La Casa Azul Bookstore: Your Local Latino Literary Spot
I’d like to take a moment to highlight a place I feel deserves a lot of attention for its effort to promote Latino writers and a sense of community in East Harlem through events that stimulate cultural awareness and a love for the arts. La Casa Azul Bookstore is a small independent book store located […]
Support Local Artists and Score Unique Finds
I always advise travelers — whether you’re going halfway across the world or on a stroll through a nearby town — to support local artists and crafters. The most authentic and memorable souvenirs that you can bring back with you will likely be the handmade, individualized pieces – rarely the mass-produced tourist tchotchkies. I’m the […]
