It seems the shopping list keeps getting longer. Especially when you take into account all the nieces, nephews and cousins. Seriously, where did they all come from?
To help you out with your ever growing list, we rounded up some of the coolest,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWelcome to the homemade holiday season! That's what I'm calling the season this year because (and though this may be a challenge), I'm trying to undertake as many DIY holiday projects as possible.
With all the lovely Pinterest inspiration, it's hard not to day dream constantly about the fabulous projects you could try! Not only are they so much fun, but I love the idea of...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI recently put the lovely Solange Knowles on my top 10 most stylish celebs of 2012 list. While I still love the heck out of a Solange tune, after this outfit, I'm almost considering taking her spot back.
First let's tackle the hair: I'm totally a fan of the big, crazy blowout, but the 80's style bangs just aren't doing it for me. Not the best, but not the worst....

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThough I don't use powder all that often, it's an essential in my makeup bag for setting my makeup, giving it a longer lasting finish and reducing shine. And... I just ran out of my powder. Darn.
In light of the fact that I've just used up my powder, I thought I'd make it the subject of this week's Review of the Week! By now you should know the drill but if you're...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWith all the glitter you'll no doubt be trying out on your eyes (or lips, or face, 'cause why not) for the holiday parties, I thought it was a good idea that this week we give out two skincare focused prize packs. Mind you, we're going to be a little sneaky and not tell you exactly what products you'll be getting! What I can tell you is the value of each prize pack.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe holidays are a time for three things: eggnog, shopping and glitter. Coincidentally, those three things are also my favourites things of all time.
When it comes to glitter and the holidays, I think all rules go out the window. Want to do something dramatic and over the top? Girl, I support you. My go to holiday look this year will be a glitterfied cat eye. But a full lid of sparkle or...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWe chicks love our nail art. Whether it's experimenting with the latest craze in polish or diy'ing a caviar mani, we're all about the nail love. When it comes to nail polish, I think we can all agree that the number one downfall is smudged polish.
That moment when you forget your wet nails and go to put your hair behind your ear, only to have it ruin your nails *cringe*! But...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basNot too long ago, Vogue released their Best Dressed List for 2012 and I was a little miffed. I mean, it was no People's Magazine Sexiest Man Alive debate (a la Ryan G.) but still, Kristen Stewart? Leelee Sobeski?
I do not agree, Vogue. I decided to make my own list instead. These are my top 10 picks for the most stylish ladies of 2012 (in no particular order because I don't play...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI dream of the day that I can pull a Katniss Everdeen style intricate braid on myself, but chances are, I'm going to be dreaming for a long time. While these crazy braids and detailed styles are awe-inspiring, they're also (like, really, really) hard. Let's get real: I am not going to attempt to do that.
I'm a big fan of anything easy but at the same time, I still want to look...

Dear Acne,
Let's get one thing straight: you and I are not friends. No matter how long or how much you hang around me, we will still not be friends. I don't like you.
Sincerely,
Alexandra
I've mentioned before how oily and acne prone my skin is and how I've tried pretty much every acne product/system/DIY option out there to try and rid...
