This weekend, I got my first Brazilian wax ever. Actually, it was my first wax ever, period. I was lucky enough to be born with eyebrows that require zero maintenance, and I’ve never been very, uh, hairy anywhere. I’ve stuck with shaving my whole life, but here’s the thing: I absolutely HATE shaving (hate, hate, hate), but I don’t like having hair either, so… yeah, it’s difficult. I’ve been super curious about waxing since high school when my friends started returning from the nail salon with thin, red eyebrows, and I started wondering what it was like. Waxing seemed like the solution to my shaving woes,…

If I’m being honest, I’ve been pretty lazy about Halloween over the past couple of years. I’ve been coming up with my costumes pretty last minute, and when I do, I tend to choose things that I don’t have to put a ton of effort into. Two years ago, I was Queen of Hearts (all I really did was wear a black shirt and red peplum skirt that I already had, drew a red heart on my face, and ran to the dollar store to pick up a tiara and a scepter), and last year, I was a Seal of Approval, which was honestly the…

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m most comfortable in black clothes. About 70 percent of the closet is black, and I’m quite proud of that. I’ve never really had a conscious reason for it—I guess I’ve just never been too much of a bold print or bright color girl since I started developing my grown-up big-girl style a few years back. But, as it turns out, there may be a method to my madness: According to a recent survey conducted by the Independent, people most associate the color black with positive traits, including confidence, intelligence, and sexiness, while it barely figured in…

Here are five ways to style a black cotton shift dress, the surprisingly best piece for spring and summer. There are several ways to style a black cotton shift dress. To create a casual look, pair the dress with flats or sandals and accessorize with jewelry or a scarf. Wear the dress with tights and a blazer or cardigan for a more professional look. Try wearing the dress with boots or booties to add an edgy touch. For a classic look, pair the dress with pumps or heeled sandals. To make the shift dress more interesting, choose one in a…

Dressing for work in the summer can be a real pain in the patooty. There’s a fine line between dressing appropriately and inappropriately, and that line usually falls somewhere around the 80-degree mark. Summer in NYC is particularly tough because, for some reason, it’s always around that time that the air conditioning in all of the subway lines starts to break down. For someone like me who thrives in colder weather, it can be especially difficult. I mean, I already know my hair is going to be a lost cause, but how do I avoid pit stains and overheating when I’m trying…

I love my job, and I love rompers, but should the two mix? Can you wear a romper to work? As you may have guessed, I work in an office. I also live in New York, which, in the summer, maintains approximately the same conditions as Hades’ “last resort” bathroom. It’s humid, disgusting, and despite showering with a plethora of clean water and lovely products, I arrive every day to work looking like I’ve just stepped out of a Nelly video (except in hurr, I cannot take off all my clothes).

Don’t be intimidated by culottes! These outfits will help you rock them from winter through spring. Fashion moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around every once in awhile, you might miss the fact that pants everywhere have ballooned in width. Ah yes, my dear pupils, 2023 is the year of the culottes (as I predicted, you may recall). And yes, I listed them as “a fashion trend you’re going to hate that you want,” but I don’t even hate that I want them anymore. I just want them. Bad. Just last week in Club Monaco, there were honestly…

We’re officially one week into October, and you know what that means: Time to begin the endlessly stressful scramble that is trying to decide what you’ll be for Halloween! It’s on a Saturday this year, so there’s a distinct possibility that you’re going to want to have multiple costumes—one for your Friday party and one for your Saturday party (I’m assuming you have significantly more friends than I do). But, as anyone who’s ever tried to go out and buy a costume knows, they can be really expensive, offensive, and just generally not worth it. You can always DIY your own, but not everyone…
