I’m Iskra Banović, editor of Blufashion and the voice behind its fashion, beauty, and lifestyle stories. Fashion, beauty, and lifestyle are my playground, but I'm just as likely to share the messy side of it all, like the time I tested a "must-have" skincare gadget and ended up with glitter stuck in my hair. I love turning trends and everyday finds into something useful (and fun) for real people.

The Only Beauty Advice I Can Give You

As I am currently staring down the prospective barrel of a discounted gym membership (because they always have those deals around New Year’s), I realized the other night that I could not touch my toes from a seated position on the floor, legs stretched out in front of me, so maybe I’m not the best person to be giving anyone health or wellness advice, but I’ve never been a “resolutions” type of person anyway. There’s nothing to resolve! Life goes on until it doesn’t, and change is a constant, so the very nature of resolutions is the status quo! (Related:…

The Death Of The Manic Pixie Dream Girl

In a July 15th post on Salon.com, film and music critic Nathan Rabin, creator of the term “Manic Pixie Dream Girl,” apologized for ever coining the term.
