Ugh. Aging. Am I right? When I turned 30, I started to realize that even if I was using the same makeup techniques, the end result was different. Probably the most noticeable difference was the creasing. I had to make some changes and I’m sharing with you my top 3 tips on doing your makeup over 30. First, everyone’s face is different. You might not notice aging until your 40… good for you… *insert sarcastic thumbs up here*…
Chels and I are part of this amazing group of local DC bloggers called “Bubbles and Bloggers”. I was at one of their events in Georgetown one night when our ultra fab hostess, Dani (the Editor of Blonde in the District) first introduced me to one of my soon-to-be fave local brands, Whistle and Wild. Amanda is the Owner and Founder of this trendy, DC-based brand, Whistle and Wild. She is sweet and stylish and when we found out…

The September NYFW showcases the SS17 season and the February is all about Fall and Winter fashion. Admission to shows at New York Fashion Week is typically reserved for those in the fashion industry, with specific events by invitation only. Chelsea and I were SO honored when we received our invitation…
Most of us were dreaming of an endless summer, but darlings, those days are coming to an end. This swim season was all about off the shoulder bikinis and high-legged one pieces and now that the season is ending you’re ready to trade in your suits for scarves. But you don’t have to! We took this one swimsuit and styled it in two different ways. This is the Good Times suit from CHRLDR. It’s cut high in the front and low…
Let’s all be honest, linen is a dream fabric. It’s so lightweight keeps you cool in the warm weather (I mean, will this heat wave ever end?!) and it’s chic for layering when the Fall decides to grace us with it’s presence… seriously… any day now Fall… There are several brands that have linen pieces in their collection but the selection of linen at CHRLDR is just beyond. There are basic tanks and tees in their Noir collection and they…
Current obsession: Mules I mean, am I right?? This backless style shoe is trending for the summer and I’m loving it. They can be dressed up or down and can either be flat or have a sky-high heel. How easy to just slip on a pair of stylish shoes and go. I’m not a big fan of Forever 21 shoes. Actually, I think they suck. But I found these pointed toe leather mules and thought, ok, they don’t need…
I took my everyday makeup look and played up my eyes for a look that can transition easily from day to night. Here’s the details and brands that I used for this look! I prefer to use a dark brown shadow to fill in my eyebrows. Chelsea and I use different types of makeup and tools to do our brows. What do you all think about a how-to showing our different techniques? I used the Urban Decay shadow in “Faint”…
Hats are such a great accessory for anytime of the year but especially summer. They keep the sun off of your face and with this season’s wider brims, off of your shoulders too. They hide humid-induced frizz and can really top off an outfit, pun 100% intended. But ladies, the short-brimmed fedora… It’s still okay for men but for us, ditch it. It was cute in 2014 but since then it has been replaced with SO many better choices for…
Running has always been my go-to for fitness. It’s such a great way to tune out the world and your thoughts and just focus on the sound of your heartbeat, your feet on the pavement, and an upbeat playlist. When you run you’re giving your whole body a workout. Normally I run with weighted bands on my ankles but there are ways to add onto your run to give it an extra boost without any equipment at all. Of course,…
I love drinking detox water, especially in the warmer months. It keeps me hydrated while I’m traveling, gives me energy throughout the day, and it’s a healthier alternative to soft drinks and other sugary beverages. Plus, they’re always Instagram-worthy. These are my 3 favorite detox waters, which I’ll usually switch throughout the week, and none of them require much prep. Just drop the ingredients in your water, let it infuse overnight, and take it with you to work the next day! The…
