I’m always in the mood for a little pampering, but my calendar for the next month is insane, and requires a lot of beauty TLC. The next week on AYNIB will be strictly event prep posts. So light your favorite Diptyque candle and get your Sephora shopping cart ready. EXFOLIATE Exfoliate before you apply your makeup. Our people […]

I want to love this trend. I really, really do. Am I little late to this party? Yes. It is “the shoe of the summer”? Probably, but I lack the courage to pull it off. I don’t have a Portland zip code, and I don’t have a composter in my backyard… maybe these aren’t for me. […]

Here are some of my favorites for spring. Essie Capri, American Apparel Neon […]

I can always count on H&M to have something on trend and inexpensive. The army jacket trend is not going anywhere this spring, and H&M has a ton of great options that won’t break the bank. I scored this jacket last week for $40 and I lovelovelove it. The embellishment takes it from frumpy to […]
