Celebrity Style Inspiration: Blake Lively

April 29, 2014 by anc49

Photo via This week’s style star is Blake Lively. Known for her absurdly chic character Serena van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl and her self-directed style (she doesn’t have a stylist), Lively has created a name for herself in both the worlds of Hollywood and couture. Plus, she’s married to Ryan Reynolds and played Bridget Vreeland in The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, my favorite book series ever. Lively’s style is characterized by flawlessly put together, casual street looks and glamorous red carpet […]

Kérastase Cristalliste Luminous Perfecting Mask: A Review

April 28, 2014 by anc49

Photo via Ever since I colored my hair for the first time last August, I’ve fallen prey to the dry ends curse. You know what I’m talking about: when your ends resemble a broomstick and appear ridden with split ends. I take great care of my hair and have a decent amount, but color processing always takes a toll on your mane somehow. It’s a double-edged sword, ladies. When I colored my hair over spring break at Rik Rak Salon […]

Café Milano: A Review

April 28, 2014 by anc49

Photo via A couple of weeks ago, my roommate’s parents came into town and wanted to treat us to dinner. I was thrilled to go because I adore her parents, but got even more excited when I found out that we were going to Café Milano. I had been dying to go there for months and finally had the chance! Before going I had only heard people rave about the Georgetown establishment. Oh, and I heard that Michelle Obama went there […]

‘How to Marry a Millionaire’: A Movie Review

April 27, 2014 by anc49

Photo Credit: Blogspot Disclaimer: This is not a review full of spoilers. Here I will only offer my thoughts and recommend it based on certain criteria. You must watch the movie for yourself and enjoy it in all of its pure, unfiltered, brand new glory. Because I’m a sucker for old films (even in technicolor) and all things Marilyn Monroe, I decided to watch How to Marry a Millionaire in January (in a futile attempt to distract myself from my master detox that failed […]

Gotta Have It: The Banana Republic ‘Animal Print Sleeveless Blouse’

April 26, 2014 by anc49

Photo via Banana Republic is one of my favorite brands because I always associate it with stylish, durable, sleek and professional (or casual) clothing. You can go into a Banana Republic store and find business casual clothes as easily as beach clothes. Few stores offer that unique variety. I will admit that at times it can get pricey, but BR offers wonderful sales that make staple pieces affordable. One of my pencil skirts is from Banana Republic and I love it because ‘work’ clothes […]

Brighten Up Your Day with Origins’ Never a Dull Moment Scrub

April 25, 2014 by anc49

Photo via I’m a huge proponent of exfoliation – it’s the only way to remove dead skin and reveal fresh, beautiful, young skin. I typically prefer scrubs and pads to gels just because I feel like I get quicker results and can remove flakiness much more easily. Of all the scrubs I’ve tried, I must admit that this Origins exfoliator is one of the absolute best. Made with papaya, apricot and mango, this scrub does the trick to really brighten your […]

Culinary Spotlight: Kale

April 24, 2014 by anc49

Photo via Hi everyone! In today’s post I will do something new and discuss a favorite green of mine: kale! While I love reviewing restaurants, I recognize that those posts are only applicable to readers who live in my same areas: DC, NYC and Miami. So I want to reach out to everyone and write about universal foods. So now I’ll explain the reasoning behind my choice of kale. The recent kale craze isn’t unsubstantiated at all; in fact, it […]
