Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe extent of my wine knowledge comes from watching the movie Sideways and repeating phrases like 'full bouquet' and 'nutty undertones'. While I wouldn't be able to tell you the difference between a $10 and $100 bottle of wine, I do count myself as a wine fan and enjoy the occasional glass with a nice meal.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWith September just around the corner, we've been overdosing on fall makeup and fashion. Two of the trends that stuck with us were the bold crimson lip and big, full brows as seen at Yves Saint Laurent, Oscar de la Renta and Chanel. The vampy, deep lip in shades of red, magenta and purple isn't for a wallflower but we're finding it refreshingly sexy. A polished, bushy brow is the...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basUnfortunately, we weren't all born with Anne Hathaway's doe eyed peepers. Some of us mere mortals have to fake it with a little help along the way.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basJessica Biel is proof that while you can take the girl out of the wholesome family tv show, you can never take the wholesome family tv show out of the girl. No matter what Ms. Biel wears, no matter what edgy haircut she has going on, all I can picture when I look at her is Mary from Seventh Heaven.
Which brings us to this week's Yay or Nay. Before we get into deep discussion about...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAs someone who dabbles in beauty, I often get asked questions about makeup from friends and family and even people I've just met!

Mascaras open up your eyes, making you look more alert, awake and...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basRemember a little while back when The Hunger Games was being all buzzed about? Apparently I had been living under a rock, because I was most likely the last person to have not read the book. But I did promise (pinkie swears!) that I would. Well chicks, I made good on my promise and I devoured the first two books in the trilogy. I have just started the third book so it is safe to say that I am...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI am completely head over heels, in love with the Dolce and Gabana Fall 2012 collection. Like, so in love I would drain my entire bank account to own one piece of the collection. Sadly though, I have the feeling that even my life savings wouldn't cover the price of a top from the collection. Le sigh. Of course, even if I did have the funds to cover that gorgeous printed dress I've been...
