Adding to my ever-growing collection of straw hats is one of my favorite things to do in early spring, when all the fashion lines start revealing their new designs for summer.

The Right Way to Use Bobby Pins
We’ve never done a beauty tutorial on something this simple before, but when stylist Erica Rae showed us the “proper” technique for using bobby pins we had to share it on the blog.

Depending on one’s skin type, there are hundreds of products to cleanse, exfoliate, tone, treat and moisturize the complexion. And, of course, the variation […]
The Rock and Roll Tousled Bob
“I think everyone’s familiar with the ‘lob’ at this point,” says stylist Erica Rae. “So what makes it fresh now is the way it’s styled. You can wear it sleek and straight, but I love how it looks when it’s a bit tousled. So many girls are trying to achieve these waves with a flat iron. […]
