uberose is a bit of a tricky fragrance. Some people love it, while others find it very heavy and musky—a scent “way too intense, sickly sweet, and kind of dirty,” as my friend put it. Nice sell, I know. But I like the smell of the white, flowery plant, which (continued…)
People who meet me now may not believe it, but I was a major hippie back in college. I attended Grateful Dead shows on a way-too-regular basis (Jerry was still alive, man—I witnessed history), I wore used peasant blouses and patched-to-the-max overalls (to the horror of my NYC friends back (continued…)

I’m on a major Butter London bender right now. After ogling the brand’s recent runway looks — and trying to recreate the edgy nail art from last week’s Veda show — I’ve fallen hard for their super shiny, manicure-matching Lippys. Specifically, I’m obsessed with Toff — a dark, dusty rose (continued…)

Fact: I candle hoard. There’s just no denying it. And one of my favorites is this Moroccan Amber votive from Nest. I love the sweet patchouli/bergamot scent, which is spicy and musky but no overly so. It creates a clean, cozy aroma that I absolutely love having in my living room. And (continued…)
Print is not dead. That is, according to UK accessory brand Papà Razzi. Borrowing from last season’s book clutch, the brand reinterprets the trend with faux print magazine covers. At only $93, these clutches are a steal. Consider us madly, deeply obsessed! You can check out their F/W clutch collection (continued…)
Shame, shame, shame on me. I got sunburned last week at a baseball game. I should have known better—it was sunny and we were outside (duh), but for whatever reason, I didn’t bring my trusty Coppertone Kids Spray. And I paid the price. Fortunately, I had moisturized in the morning (continued…)
Stop the presses! I have big news. Huge news. And you need to know about it. A few weeks ago, while shopping at Sephora, I had wandered over to the skin care section looking for a new regimen for my uber-dry skin when a sales associate introduced me to KP (continued…)
Maybe it’s becoming a cross addiction, but I don’t care. Since returning home from an intensive, four-month institutional workout, I have become obsessed with one specific scent. Vanilla. And as long as I stay away from the extract, I think it’s okay. Vanilla has long been touted as a mood (continued…)
It seems the world hasn’t seen the last of the ombre, a dye treatment that has been seen on everything from clothing to hair and nails. The latest to jump on the ombre train is Parsons graduate Tiffany Ju, who just released a collection of tights that you’ll want to (continued…)
You now have a new excuse to ditch those plain black flip flops this summer for Miu Miu’s incredibly cool collection of crystal encrusted sandals in the shape of sea creatures, such as starfish, sea horses and crabs. These attention-grabbing, sparkling aquatic sandals—which come in all color flavors, including crystal (continued…)

I love Poppy King. Her Lipstick Queen line of luscious, long-lasting, highly pigmented lip colors are my favorite for rocking a red lip. But at about $20 a pop, they can be a bit pricey, especially if you go through them as fast I do. Which is why I (continued…)
When it comes to blowing out my hair at home, I need all the help I can get. I’ve searched high and low for the perfect product to tame my mega curly mane, and luckily I have found a few that I love. John Frieda’s Frizz-Ease Straight Fixation Smoothing Cream (continued…)

“Criminally cute” is right. Tokidoki, which has given us everything from insanely cute USB drives to pink haired Barbie dolls, recently unveiled this awesome, limited edition line of scent sticks. And I’m obsessed. All of them smell great and are perfectly sized for your purse. And they are so cute, (continued…)
C.O. Bigelow is one of my favorite places to shop for online beauty booty. They carry such a cool range of brands, many of which are my favorites, such as Lipstick Queen, Diptyque, Acqua di Parma, and Bliss, to name just a few. Currently I’m obsessed with one of the (continued…)
Hand-stained leather, bamboo handle, antique gold hardware. My love affair with Gucci continues with this standout from the limited edition collection commemorating the brand’s 90th anniversary. But with a price tag of $4,900, I’m currently on the hunt for anything remotely similar. Yes, I know it’s impossible. But a girl (continued…)
