Pull Yourself Together:
On-the-Go Pride
October 28th, 2011 By

With Halloween fast approaching, we can all look forward to the scene of a girl walking home at 8am still dressed in her slutty rhinocerous costume after a night of binge drinking and yelling in a baby voice. And I say that with very little judgment in my voice. (Not really. I’m fully judging.) Point is, we’ve all had a moment or two where we probably could’ve used a ‘face janitor’ to help us look presentable in times of need. That’s why I always carry my miniature-sized ‘must-haves’ with me. After all, from time to time, I enjoy a cocktail and passing out on a friend’s couch, too. The following items, starting with Bliss wax strips, are all you’ll ever need. And yes, facial-hair-remover-to-go is a way of life if you’re Italian like me. On a sunny day when pores are in 3D, there is no sadder sight than the cloud that looms over a hairy upper lip. These things wipe the slate clean in under five minutes.

Bag It: Arm Yourself February 25th, 2010 By

Looking for the perfect way to balance a flirty, feminine frock? Pair it with some more masculine accessories. Combat boots are one way women are adding a masculine touch to their looks this spring. Another option comes in the way of military-inspired bags. These bags give your look a rough edge while still maintaining your sense of femininity. My top three military-inspired handbag picks include a crossbody mini bag with authentic military details, a luxe leather ombre stamped satchel and a military-inspired waxed canvas belted satchel.
