Kyoto is indisputable as the cultural center of Japan (as such, it's one of the few Japanese cities that wasn't bombed during WWII. If my history teacher Ms. Marcus were reading this she'd surely...

Another diversion from Japan... A few days ago, I was in, of all places, Banana Republic when I smelled something heavenly. Turns out it was their latest candle that had tickled my fancy. Spring...

The votes are in for 2007's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Drum roll, please! Those being inducted at the March 12th ceremony: Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, The Ronettes, R.E.M., Van Halen,...

Some celebrities don't need a vacation to get in a romantic mood. Chris Klein and Ginnifer Goodwin show their affection at the baggage carousel at Los Angeles International Airport. And while SB isn't a...

No, it's not Pirates of the Caribbean: The Hawaiian Edition. But the movie franchise's stars Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom bid Aloha to the archipelago. Orlando hit the waves with a few friends, while...

There's no such thing as traveling in style anymore. But as a few celebs show, you can still dress down while putting your best bags forward. SB's pick for the chicest rolling luggage: the...

Leave it to fashion-forward Cate Blanchett to jump on fabulous futurism. For the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala, the star went where no celebrity has gone before: Nicolas Ghesquiere's spring collection for...

Style Blogger never stops working--even during the holiday season. After spending a few days on the family horse farm (can you picture it?), SB returned to New York for the International Debutante Ball. Talk...

This is one example where the Japanese seem to have gone wrong: F-Cup cookies!!! They're meant to make your chest into an F-Cup. The very idea is a) preposterous (if a COOKIEâ¿¿priced at just...

The title says it all. Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare Super Balm (quite a name, I know) is, well, super balmy. A mix of vitamin E, shea butter, echinacea (a healing plant, for those...

Food factoid: This is, believe it or not, what the Japanese call breakfast. True, it's massive, but it's also so healthy. Congee (rice porridge) makes up the bulk of the b-fast, along with side...

Before I continue discourse on my Japanese adventures, I wanted to call attention to a cool new mask I recently tried. Guinot's Nouvel Eclat (French for "new light"â¿¿convincing, no?) uses fruit acids to help...

Whenever I travel, my itinerary typically goes like this: Land, go through the inexorable customs lines, arrive at hotel, unpack, and head straight to the drugstore to stock up on local beauty products. Before...

Happy New Year, dear readers! Apologies for the extended hiatus... I was vacationing in pretty much the other side of the world in Japan! This week I'll post fun things I saw/did in Japan, home of...

This coin purse is perfect for the friend who loves anything sugary-sweet. Super-cool designer Olga Abadi makes these bags out of candy wrappers (seriously!)â¿¿each one takes about 100 hours to make in Mexico! Bonus...

The beyond-gorgeous and artsy-looking Passage case by Hourglass is the perfect gift for that painterly friend of yoursâ¿¿you know, the one who always has smears of paint on her jeans and perfectly splattered Chuck...

Meet Otto. He's a lovely little cocker spaniel-poodle mix (known as a "cockapoo", haha) that's owned by yours truly. You may be asking yourself, "what on earth does a dog have to do with...

Here's an item on my ultimate wish list (in other words, there's little chance of ever receiving it, haha). At first glance, this ring may seem a little sinister. But in some cultures, snakes...

My friend K is impossibly vain. Any reflective surface she passes is just another reason for her to gaze at her (admittedly) very beautiful self. She'll be getting this mirror that looks totally vintage...

I am so far from being able to sew, but this pin cushion is possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen! I'm going to buy it to stick safety pins inâ¿¿I'm always in need...

The holiday season is always fun for us here at Teen Vogueâ¿¿we get invited to loads of holiday parties (I have 6 next week!). But with great parties comes the great responsibility to take...

You heard it here first! Gwen Stefani has teamed up with cosmetics powerhouse Coty to create a L.A.M.B. fragrance! Knowing Gwen (well, not literally knowing herâ¿¿I wish!), it's going to be amazing... Wonder if...

Have any of you guys ever been to L.A.? The first time I ventured West, I was expecting a paradise filled with sun-dappled palm trees, bronzed denizens, and, of course, celebrities galore. The latter two...

I don't know about you guys, but when I hear the term "musk", I either think of gross dead animals or, to be frank, B.O. So for ages, I've resisted trying out Kiehl's signature...
