Is it just me or has Leelee Sobieski fallen off the map? Where in the world has she been for the past few years? According to Wikipedia, she's been doing a lot of indie flicks of late, getting married and having a baby, and apparently she's also been working on her personal style and practising her poses. Just check this out:

Whenever I get into a beauty slump, the solution to get me out is to colour my hair. It might sound a bit odd, but there's something about new hair that puts me in a good mood. It's like seeing the world in a fresh new way. 

I recently changed from my subtle light brown highlights to a burgundy ombre and a week later, I went back to black! I love changing up my colour, but finding the...

After looking through this week's prizes, I kinda wanted to keep them for myself. These bad boys are pretty darn sweet! Kind of like you chicks (cue the awww, so sue me - it's almost Valentine's Day)! Of course, because you're so sweet, I'll leave the prize packs for you, but I can't tell you what exactly is in each one. What I can tell you...

Makeup is supposed to be fun. You're supposed to be able to play around and experiment with fabulous colours. So when a brand comes out with a collection that celebrates that fun, I'm on board immediately. 

There are four fun-tastic collections soon to be released that are all about being girly and trying something new. These collections are also all collabs with movies or pop culture...

For the past few weeks, the CA office has been inundated with beauty news about new spring collections and upcoming product releases and I have to say, some of these items are getting me pretty excited. Like girly squeals and instant goggling to find swatches online type of excitement. 

Obviously, because we're so delighted, we need to share these new beauty products...

Will you be shopping for a gift for a special man this Valentine's Day? It's cool, you don't have to tell me. Just wink. I can keep your secret. 

If you are going to be buying a man a Valentine's gift this year, you're probably going to need some ideas. Men are hard to shop for, it's a fact. Plus, there's the added pressure of whether or not the gift is...

I don't know about you, but I'm kind of over this whole 'winter' thing. Who needs the cold weather? Not me. Our streets in Toronto have pretty much turned to slush. The last thing I need to see when I am out and about is more grey and black. Borrrrr-ing. So this winter (and moving on into spring), I think we all need to inject some more colour into our wardrobes. It's...

Hailee Steinfeld is an adorable and talented young actress and I love that she's wearing something chic and age appropriate, but I'm just not into this outfit. There is simply too much going on here for me. 


I have a few issues with this outfit. It's edgy leather with granny-esque cardigan and then a poor boy cap? Why all the mixed messages, Hailee? More than colours or...

So, it's officially the Arctic here. Like, so cold I've been wearing a snuggie in the office all week and I don't care who knows it. When it gets to be so chilly, I like to spend as much time as possible being cozy inside. This week, I suggest you all do the same and spend some quality time with your computer. While having this quality time, may I suggest entering in some of our fun...
