Trend: Tough Pearls


I'm not one to be overly prim or proper, but lately I've been attracted to pearls especially when they have something edgy to balance out the classic look. Here are my current favorites.

Everlane Fall Preview

A few weeks ago I got to take a look at Everlane's upcoming offerings for fall. I had heard amazing things about their simplified basics, but never seen or felt them in person. It didn't take long to convince me that the Everlane team knows what they're doing, though. Their upcoming collection of silk button-downs could rival Equipment's and the cashmere sweaters feel very luxe for landing at about $100. I've been wearing my new Ryan Tank like crazy and can't wait to get my hands on the new offerings starting next month.

Party Hair Made Easy: Top Knots and Pony Tails


I firmly believe that the best way to enjoy a party is to be comfortable--less time for fussing, means more time to have fun. For me, that starts with my hair and it means pulling my hair up rather than letting it down.

Here’s how I get the look:

I wash my hair pretty much every day with a low sulfate product like TRESemmé Naturals Moisture Shampoo. If I don’t shampoo, I use a dry shampoo like TRESemmé Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo because my hair does get oily. This formula is great even though it is designed for fine hair because it builds texture. I tend to go to a lot of events after work, so I often need to freshen up my look and that’s where Fresh Start Refreshing Mist has become my best friend. The spray is weightless while providing that extra oomph of shine, smoothness and citrus scent that I need at the end of the day.

For my ponytail I like to brush my hair smooth on the sides and leave the top with a little volume. For my topknot, I am a little more free form. I aim to have it land somewhere between tippy top and basic bun. Both are comfortable and easy when there are more important fun matters at hand.
