10 Reasons Why We Should ALL Be Little Monsters.

One year my parents gave my sisters and I the most obscure Christmas gift possible; Lady Gaga tickets. It wasn't that I disliked her music, but I never really got the hype.... until I actually saw her live. I was sold-- GAGA for GAGA. The next day my sister and I agreed that from that point forward, we were Little Monsters. Reasons why YOU should be a little monster too: 1.) Because she supports LGBT rights, hardcore. Since the beginning of her career…

NYFW 2015 Makeup Made Wearable

Hello beautiful people, it’s Nicole again! I'm back to give you the rundown on my 5 favorite looks from NYFW. I also have some tips on how you can make the sometimes extreme runway looks work for you day to day life. Remember, makeup and fashion are very similar…what looks good on one person might not look good on another. It takes some trial and error. People have different eye shapes, skin tones, facial structure, ect. Just tweak these looks for…

Mens Spring Fashion 2015

MENS SPRING 2015 1. Layers are all that. Cop all the longline t-shirts you can and wear them under a nice sweatshirt. This look is crisp. Clothing is for self-expression, don't use it to try to fit in. Wear whatever the f*ck you feel like wearing. 2. F*ck Aztec prints. We are over that. If you think wearing a plain tee with a neat Aztec print breast pocket is hip, you wrong. Toss that kiddy shit for some grown man clothing and…

Get Her Look: Chiara Ferragni

Its no secret that I love fashion blogger and style icon Chiara Ferragni. Unfortunately, the majority of her wardrobe is either designer of vintage. Luckily she has an awesome shoe line (that she wears all the time.) To get her look you'll need a graphic t-shirt (most of her's are vintage), ripped jeans, and awesome espadrilles (preferably from her collection.) Love Moschino white tee, $105 / Black tank, $12 / Current/Elliott torn boyfriend jeans, $220 / Chiara Ferragni patent shoes…

If not me, misery.

Was I alone? For awhile I used to directly associate an ex's romantic success to personal loss. Frighteningly relatable? I used to ask myself what I had done to lead me to singularity, and them to each other's house for Christmas. Every time a past lover would update their relationship status I felt as though someone had given up on me. Luckily, at some point apathy started to come more naturally than insanity. Our Facebook news feed is a personalized tabloid, one that can…

Look Good Without Trying

There will always be the girls who walk into their friday morning 8am looking like they just got in from NYFW. Their winged eyeliner is on point, and their curls look effortlessly beachy; too put together even for the most advanced walk of shamer. Then theres the girl who walks in to class day-to-day in the same black sweatpants, gray sweatshirt, and salt-stained Ugg boots. I’m all for comfort but you don't have to look like a bum to achieve that.…

Why I hate(d) MAC Cosmetics

MAC is one of those companies that has a cult following. I might get a crusade of girls coming after me ready to stab my eyes out with their 217’s and paint my body with blood and Ruby Woo for saying this but I used to hate MAC (and partially still do). Even if you love them, I’m willing to bet that you’ll get where I’m coming from. We’ve all had that saleswoman. She rolls her eyes at you, annoyed at your silly…
