Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI'm a big fan of cheap n' chic costume jewelry. It's inexpensive but uber trendy so when it breaks or tarnishes in the next month, I'm not too upset about it since it'll most likely be out of style already anyway. However, there is something to be said for finding real quality statement pieces that fit your personality. Pieces that you know you won't tire of because of...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWhile a signature scent is nice to have, I'm more of a 'scent switching' kind of girl. I like to match my outfit to my mood; my clothing and makeup choices depend on how I am feeling that day. So why shouldn't it be the same with my fragrance? I like the idea of going with a complete look and feel with my outfit, makeup and scent. If I wake up feeling rather creative one...

Dolce and Gabana really hit it out of the park in their fall 2012 show when they put gloriously baubled headbands on model's heads (yes, gloriously baubled is a thing). The...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWe've seen the feather nail art, we've dabbled in both crystal and caviar manis, we tried our hand at magnetic polish and played around with glitter. Safe to say, we thought we'd seen it all when it came to nail polishes.
Enter in Illamasqua with their rubber finish polish. Like the name suggests, the nail polish imitates the matte sheen of a rubber boot. They...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLet's be honest with each other for a sec. I (and I think can safely say we) don't wash my (our) hair everyday. Some days, it might even be a little oily (gasp!). I would like to say that my disdain for hair washing comes from a strict beauty routine and not wanting to strip my hair of it's natural oils. The truth is far less glamorous though, it boils down to pure laziness.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAs I left my house for work today, I wore not only a cardi but a blazer as well. It was clear: fall is here. I was feeling a bit nostalgic for the summer months but I quickly perked up because I realised the following things:
1. Fall means corduroy, plaid, chunky knit sweaters galore!
2. September issue of Vogue comes out.
3. I have an excuse to not shave (like I'm the only one...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI'm convinced that whoever invented fluorescent lighting had a very personal vendetta against me. I hate it. It's yellowy hues casts a greenish, blue light over my skin making me look tired and sick. It's harshness brings out every line and crease. Clearly, fluorescent lighting is an evil tool designed to make me look my worst.
Unfortunately...

Well, in any case, here we are again and we have a doozy of a Miley outfit to discuss. Here Miley is, walking the red carpet at the recent MTV Video Music Awards.
Last week, I was a bit harsh on Kate Hudson who showed off a little bit...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basFor me, beauty starts with my skin. I like to think of my face as a canvas and makeup as the paint. But before I start to paint, I've got to have a good base to work with. Which is why skincare is so important. The ChickAdvisor staff has let you in on their skincare routines (see Alexandra's, Mandy's and Ali's) and now we're turning it around to you!
