I stumbled across this Refinery 29 piece featuring SUPERmodel Cara Delevingeineilenlegne on the cover of a mag claiming to be wearing #NoMakeup, and when I read the comments, I was seriously disgusted. Ok, children; pipe down. CLEARLY there is a filter or some sort of photo editing happening here. Anyone with eyes can see that, … Read more

Who would have thought? Des wanted the fairytale SO BADLY (let’s not forget she’s in the bridal industry) that she accepted a proposal from her second choice dude. Hello, #SloppySeconds!

Any girl who says, “I can’t pull it off,” just needs to find her perfect color and channel her inner Marilyn Monroe. Not to … Read more

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t know how those fashion bloggers do it. Most workdays, I’m in workout pants and a sports bra with a disheveled ponytail and no makeup.

She has her own wardrobe consulting and styling biz, works at Lululemon (read: her fitness gear collection is to-die-for), and runs around town looking fab and inspiring and supporting other women (we actually met after one of Cara’s Flywheel classes, in which I … Read more

Who let the dogs out? An EPIC SONG from the Baha Men, one of the greatest bands of all times except Wilson Phillips. Speaking of dogs and men from Baha, I am a true animal expert. My love of the animal kingdom led me to study pre-vet at Auburn University where, after two attempts, I … Read more
