Hooray! It is finally scarf season! While I am definitely in favor of wearing scarves in hot weather, one cannot deny that the scarf season really begins with the fall, and that’s fantastic. Scarves are one of the best accessories. You can use them to add a pop of color to an outfit, they’re cool and still unusual enough to be quirky and interesting, and they can be had by the handful from vintage and secondhand stores. There are more ways to wear scarves than just looping them around your neck to keep warm. Here are cool ways to wear scarves…

Scarves are the best accessory, and they’re not just for winter. Here are 17 cool examples of how to style a scarf for summer. Maybe it’s because my mother was a flight attendant in the 70s, but I adore scarves. They’re just the best accessory. I love the feel of the fabric, the bright colors, and the myriad ways to wear them. Scarves aren’t just for winter, and they don’t have to look preppy. Here are a few excellent ways to wear a scarf this summer without looking like a 1970s flight attendant. (Unless you want to look like a…

We get style inspiration from all different places including films. Has there been a movie(s) that has influenced your look? We get style inspiration from a wide variety of places, including celebrities, music, random people on the streets, magazines, books, and even animals. Movies can also have a tremendous impact on your style. Sometimes when you see a look on screen, you realize you love it so much, you have to copy it exactly. Then there are other times where it happens on a subconscious level. You may not have realized Star Wars had an impact on you style-wise, but when you re-watch it, you suddenly…

If money were no object, what skincare and beauty products would you own? Over the past year, I’ve made it a habit to drop by my local Sephora store at least once a week. I justify these trips by saying that I’m going for “research purposes,” which is partially true, but really, I go to torture myself. I do this by standing in front of the most expensive lotions and potions—things that I couldn’t afford even if I sold off all of my worldly possessions—and dreaming of a better life. In this “better life,” I’d throw open a pair of…

Serge Lutens’ Gris Clair perfume breaks all of my fragrance rules, but I can’t get enough of it. I am, by all accounts, a girl who likes to follow the rules. I’m OK with the rules. I’d even go as far as to say that I like them. Growing up, I was by no means a perfect kid, but I understood that no meant no, it’s time for bed meant that it was time for bed, and “no, you can’t paint the dog’s toenails,” meant that I’d better put away that bottle of nail polish, pronto. As an adult who makes…

Men care as much about their looks as do women. It is a poor notion that men are not as dressier or fancy as women. In the modern era, men are as vocal about their physical appearance and preference as women. Everyone wants to and aspires to look good, be it for personal or professional reasons. Choose Robbie’s Chop Shop for a wonderful experience regarding hair styling and cutting. Choosing a barbershop is the best decision for a guy because the cuts are rawer, and yet they have a modern finish to them. Therefore, when you go to a barber,…

You don’t need to shell out a lot of money for a decent foundation. These affordable drugstore foundations get top marks. The more money you spend on something doesn’t necessarily mean the better the quality. This is especially true with makeup.

I’ve found the world’s most perfect lip gloss, and it costs less than your morning latte. Read the review of Vaseline lip therapy rosy lips. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m crazy picky about the products that I put on my lips. I don’t wear anything that tastes weird (because you always end up eating a least a little bit of your lip balm), and if a product is overly goopy or sticky, I’ll toss it. I also don’t mess around with anything that is too drying or smudges easily. When I do manage to find a product…

Plagiarism in any form is considered a breach of ethical norms in every field of life. No one appreciates the writers who provide duplicate content. The advanced tools and easy access to the internet make it no uphill task to copy a text from the web and use it in your own work. People sometimes duplicate the writing of others without realizing the consequences or penalties they could face for this not-so-legal move. Educational institutions, especially colleges and universities, have set strict rules to prevent plagiarism. A student might end up with an F if they’re caught submitting work that…

There is that often-heard line, “you get what you pay for,” but it doesn’t apply to mascaras. If you spend $10 on a mascara, you can get one that is just as good, if not better, than a $30 mascara.

Choose any of the ones from this list, and you’ll be very happy with your affordable pick. (Related: Signs That You Are Definitely Addicted to Mascara) These are the best drugstore mascaras, according to you: 1. Lash Stiletto Mascara, Maybelline Maybelline mascaras…

Small-eyed ladies rejoice! There is hope in our approach to a winged eyeliner. The cat-eye has always been one of my favorite looks, but it’s not without effort. The thing is, my lids aren’t very big (aka they’re hooded), so the wing of even my best-applied cat-eye rarely peeks out like it does with girls who have heavier eyelids. One of my girlfriends asked me recently why I don’t rock that look more after seeing a picture of me with winged eyeliner. I told her that I didn’t get much bang for the look unless I spent a lot of…
