Korres Lip Butter: The Trendy Solution to Chapped Lips
by anc49
Photo via All ladies know the dilemma of lip care: you must either choose moisture or color. Our beloved lipsticks tend to dry out our lips, so it’s tough to rub color on already-chapped skin, especially in the winter. But we get bored of plain, clear chap sticks or lip balms that tend to make us look washed out. And sometimes we get our hopes up with tinted lip balms that inevitably let us down when the color fades and we constantly […]

The Magical Wonder for Your Skin: Tea Tree Oil
by anc49
Photo via As you know, I’m a huge proponent of natural products, especially for skincare. I’ve researched a lot recently about natural oils (argan, rosehip, jojoba, etc.) because they possess so many incredible benefits in their raw form that most people don’t take advantage of. Often times these oils and their extracts are included in beauty products, among other ingredients. That’s why we see such great results with products that include them! Imagine if you stripped away all of the […]

Gotta Have It: The ‘Just My Type’ Tobi Dress
by anc49
Photo via Hello fashionistas! This marks the inaugural post of ‘Gotta Have It,’ a series in which I review my favorite fashion pieces with 100% full honesty. This is meant to either help you check out new pieces or help you decide if you should purchase that little something that’s been lingering in your shopping cart. We’ve all been there… Whenever I shop, either at the stores or online, I weigh the pros and cons of each piece because I want […]

Le Pain Quotidien: A Review
by anc49
It was only a matter of time until I reviewed Le Pain Quotidien. Scrumptious, organic French food in a charming communal table setting? That’s my heaven on earth. Plus, it’s considerably vegetarian-friendly (vegan, too). Since I first went with my Guest of a Guest editor in February, I’ve been hooked. Today’s post is about the rustic tuna & hummus tartine, but I’ve also had (and naturally loved) the bread basket (WTIH ALL OF THE DELICIOUS SPREADS, I CAN’T GET STARTED ON THEM), brioche, vegan […]

Celebrity Style Inspiration: Olivia Palermo
by anc49
Photo via Every girl has celebrity style inspirations, whether or not she knows it. We all look at women on the red carpet or photographed in fashion magazines and admire their secret sartorial ways. How did she pair those two pieces together? Could I ever wear that on the streets? We do our best to shop similar pieces and make the most from what’s in our closets. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve flipped through the pages of InStyle and Lucky and […]

Deborah Lippmann: Chic and Compassionate Nail Polish
by anc49
Photo via It’s no wonder that celebrities are obsessed with Deborah Lippmann’s nail collections. Her shades come in the most stunning colors, boast the cutest names (sometimes created after celebrities) and nearly blind people with their shininess. Once again, I’m considerably faithful to Chanel but sometimes fall under the Deborah Lippmann spell. Who could resist? But even better than the colors, names and shimmer is the production behind the polishes. Deborah Lippmann products are not tested on animals and are free of […]
