I’m a big fan of air-dry styling these days. It is a result of complete laziness, but we’ll keep that between you and me. There is no better time to embrace your natural waves than the disgustingly hot month of July, no? I was not blessed with perfect Blake Lively locks, and my natural hair requires a […]

It’s too hot for most activities these days, so minimal makeup, a pair of sunglasses and a dress are the only things I’m reaching for. Also, workout gear (even when I’m not working out, sorry!) is the first thing I put on when the temperature is 95+. Happy July! where to find me :: TWITTER ::: INSTAGRAM ::: FACEBOOK ::: TUMBLR

A look isn’t complete without a manicure, right? At least I’d like to think so. I made a visit to my favorite salon Olive & June to take a peek at the hottest polish duos for spring (… and get a mani myself, of course). Pastels are dominating every ad/collection/Instagram, but I couldn’t resist a couple […]
