Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basYou may remember that not too long ago I chopped off my long, curly (and very damaged hair) and got a shorter and far healthier 'do. Since then, I've been trying very hard to be nice to my hair and give it a little TLC to prevent it from getting to that previous, icky straw-like state.
Obviously, I need some help. Which is why this week's Review of the Week category...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThey say April showers may bring May flowers, but I don't think Mother Nature got the memo. While May flowers have been blooming, April showers haven't really stopped. This poses a problem for us beauty junkies and fashionistas. Not only can the rain and humidity put a serious cramp (or crimp) in your hairstyle, but the rain does a number on your stylish outfits.
Enter in rain gear...

Understandably, most people shy away from brights. It's easy to get shadow-happy and go a bit too far, making you look like you've just stepped out of a time machine...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSo, the Met Gala happened. As did Nicole Richie's grey hair, an odd Olsen cape and a wallpapered Kardashian. Needless to say, it got weird.

Too much? Did I go too far?
Sorry, that got away on me. It's just that I cannot get over how good she looked at the NY premiere of The Great Gatsby.

They're easy to tote throughout the day and come evening, they make an excellent makeshift wrap/jacket. Plus, a fabulous and colourful scarf is an easy addition to a neutral outfit.
Scarves and I have been best buds for a little while now and I...
