Girlfriends, it happens to 1 in 3 of us over the age of 18. A sudden sneeze, a hearty laugh, or working out at the gym is all it might take to bring you from happy-go-lucky to horrified in a split second.
You might not want to discuss or even think about it, but many women who’ve had babies, are under stress, postmenopausal, or have had certain types of medical procedures know...
The beyond gorgeous knitwear of Line defies our idea of woolens every season. For their Fall 2011 presentation models looked like heroines you'd see at a train station in an Evelyn Waugh adaptation, rather than winter refugees in a mountain hideaway scene. The makeup furthered that 1930s, English countryside feeling.

A luminous face, metallic eye and intricate, twisted hair complimented the foiled and sheer dresses by Amanda Lew Kee at her Fall 2011 LG Fashion Week presentation. While the flashy fabrics were definitely eye catching, the long silver nails flickering from the models fingers were consistently pulling our attention.

We're not going to lie to you, this hair look is not an easy one. We saw...
Comrags Fall 2011 runway show featured their better-than-garden-variety floral prints, which played well with the set and brushed out curls and soft, smudged eye.

We learned a little cheat backstage watching Eric Del Monaco do this style. To give hair the appearance of deeply waved, pin-backed hair there's no need to curl the entire head. The back half of models' hair was roughed up...
This week on the Style Collective we had a good laugh at some of the beauty habits we women love and men love to hate. A much safer area (we think) is home decor, and we gave some thought to adding some small touches like intricate candle holders or using wallpaper in an unexpected way.
Our excuses to eat comfort food are getting thinner as the weather gets warmer, so before our house becomes to hot to think about baking we're whipping up a batch of these simple and rich peanut butter cookies to enjoy with some steamed milk.

It's a pretty obvious to all of us that washing your face twice a day is critical for clear, healthy-looking skin, especially if, like me, you wear a full face of makeup every day.
Unless of course you like blackheads.
Olay asked me and two of my Style Collective pals, Beauty Editor and Beauty Geeks to swap out the hoard of products we're testing every day from other lines to...
Joe Fresh has made fans with their on trend clothes at amazing prices. For their Fall 2011 runway presentation at LG Fashion Week they kept the beauty ethos just as democratic—the luxe for less beauty message on models was said with easy hair and rich, gold eyes.

Before models took to the runway in a mix of military tailoring and poofy skirts, they were given a beauty look to mix similar elements of hard and soft. With a sleek and shiny tight topknot and dark full eye the look was decidedly more hard than soft. We're loving this more controlled version of the topknot we usually see in a messy nest on so many girls heads (we mean that as a compliment,...
When springtime hits we get to thinking about all the Chicks out there shopping for their special prom or grad gown. We think about the excitement of finding The One, and deciding on the shoes and hair to pair with—it's often the first time a girl gets to rock such a frock.
This year, as we poured over prom gowns we got to talking about our own looks from that special night. One of us tanned...
