Lipstains are one of my very favourite products of all time. I love a pigmented colour that goes on in just one sweep and I love how long lasting they are. Tell me that I get colour and that I don't have to keep constantly reapplying and I'm yours in an instant. 

Through my lipstain addiction and in my quest to find the absolute best, I've come to the conclusion that not all...

Each summer, I load up on a brand new wardrobe. I can't help it! There are always such gorgeous new pieces out and everything looks so pretty. This summer, there were brights and neons to be worn, summer skirts to be posed in and maxis to be shown off. Obviously, I needed everything. 

The problem is, when fall starts to creep in, cold weather and all, I'm left with all my summer...

Continuing our series of cute tee makeovers, this week I'm showing you my favourite DIY tee I've done so far. It's also the most time consuming and requires quite a few items, but I think when you see the results, you'll agree that it's worth it! 

This DIY can be done with an oversized or a fitted tee. You'll just need to omit/add some steps to get it just right (but...

I came across this bracelet style a few days ago at TopShop and was so perplexed. I just had to share it with you and ask your opinion. I'm calling this bracelet the palm bracelet', though I am not sure you could even classify it as a bracelet. 


It comes halfway down your palm, fitting snugly across, above the thumb and below your fingers. It's almost like you went to...

This week, I was in a hairspirational mood. I've been trying to get my damaged hair back into healthy, tip top shape. So I've been researching, experimenting and playing around with all different products.

Next to foundation, blush is definitely my must-have beauty product. It gives me a healthy, flushed glow and it helps to define my cheekbones for a more sculpted face. There is no shortage of blush in my makeup bag, but I swear, I totally need every, single, one! 

There's always a new blush to try and I'm forever on the search for the perfect one so I'm in need of your help!...

This week, Mandy and I decided to play twinsies. We're both posing off in the same trend: white lace. Only we've each done it in a different way. Now, if you've been on the site for even two minutes, you've probably figured out that Mandy and I don't exactly look alike. While Mandy is on the petite side, I am much taller and curvier. We wanted to show you how everyone can...

Reasons why I watch the Olympics (in percentage form):

8% So I will have something to discuss with people 
92% Hot athletes

Are you with me chicks? Clearly the best part of the Olympics are the fine male physiques.  I would be remiss if I didn't take advantage of all the eye candy the Olympics has to offer this summer. So, enough with the talking chicks, here (in no particular...

I hate to be the one to bring it up chicks, but summer is nearing it's end. August passes by in just a second and before you know it, it's mid-September. Sure, the end of beach weather is kind of a bummer but cheer up! With cooler, fall weather come fall fashions, including accessories and shoes! 
 
After the bold brights of the summer, I think some...
