Hey H&M! Remember When I Used to Like You?

When I lived in Montreal I was a regular (actually, too regular) shopper at H&M. I used to swing in for a browse between classes or on my way to catch the Metro home and always found versatile pieces-many of which I still have in my closet. I loved that I could stay up to date with [...]

Summer Shoe Shopping Tips and Haul

My summer shoe wardrobe was in a major need of an overhaul this year. Some of my most beloved sandals had been worn down to pancakes or were missing one too many jewel to be presentable, so they had to be retired. Well, that and the new shoe shelves I bought for my closet were [...]

The Australian fashion and beauty site 2threads.com has partnered with Dove to share beauty secrets, tips, and tricks.

Because the Sun Doesn’t Discriminate

0810-11Sun_Tan_Victim

The summer gives my anxiety for two reasons: bathing suits and sunshine. Most women can sympathize with my bathing suit phobia but I get my share of bewildered stares when I inform people that I have sun-induced paranoia. If you were as pale as death and your skin attracted UV rays like sheets of aluminum, [...]

Question: You haven’t been posting about MAC collections lately! Do you have any swatches of new products that you can share?  I went to MAC today with a sack full of empty containers with the intention of trading for some free products through the Back-to-Mac program.

We all know that I went through a lipstain phase last summer. I think I have tried fairly close to every lipstain on the market and only a few made it through my rigorous testing. I definitely have my personal preferences but I have found that the packaging is almost as important as the actual product when [...]

I have decided to start a little mini-series called “Who, What, Wear, How.” Uninspired name, but it is a work in progress. My dear friend Alice (who had better start her own blog ASAP) recently asked a great question on my recent  Chanel Rouge Coco post, but unless you read through the comment threads, you would [...]

After indulging in the Chanel Spring Collection, I put myself on a “no-buy”; in other words, no makeup related purchases for a month. My self-inflicted makeup buying drought has drawn to a close and, oddly enough, it was a liberating experience. As a beauty blogger sometimes I feel the pressure to “Keep up with the [...]
