Love is in the Air

I just heard this little tidbit and thought it was too cute to not share. Apparently, in Japan, YSL's iconic Baby Doll fragrance is considered to be a "lucky" fragrance for romantics. The scent...

Shopaholics Unite!

One of our fashion editors is working on a cool story about shopping and I just KNOW you girls are opinionated about the matter (I'd fill out the survey myself but I don't think they...

Sweet Charity

Teen Vogue's beauty department had our own little Black Friday shopping experience today, when we had our biannual beauty sale! Twice a year, we empty out our beauty closet and sell all items (from Chanel...

My Story, Part One

OK, ladies... This question has been asked of me a number of times in the last few days, so I'll finally cave and tell you my whole long-winded career story. If you've ever wondered how...

Double Trouble

Holy cow. a) Why is Britney doing that with her arms/chest? Good grief. b) Is the new sign that you're BFF switching stockings? Ew. c) Does anyone else think that this is a total...

Boy Trouble

Boys are notoriously hard to shop for. Especially when it comes to the realm of beautyâ¿¿I mean groomingâ¿¿products. Which is why I love Malin & Goetz's amazing line. This line is totally boy-friendly (it's...

Strike Out

These days, my desk is positively teeming with holiday candles. As I've recounted quite exhaustively before, I am a huge candle fan. So you can imagine what a problem it is that I can...

What's Wrong With This Picture?

A) That better be a faux fur coat she's wearing B) Her skin. Wow, she does NOT look 20. Girls, yet another reason NOT to fake bake. Or smoke. C) Her eye makeup. Lindsay,...

Bathing Beauty

Depending on how you look at it, I'm either super lucky to get to travel so often or super unlucky (given the state of current affairs... And the madness that is travel nowadays). I'm...

Me Me Me!

I have to be honest. During the holiday season, I can be a little guilty of operating on a "one for you, one for me" policy. This item is #1 on my "Happy holidays,...

Holi-Daze

Isn't it absolutely crazy how all the store windows are already festooned with holiday decorations? Is it just me, or is Christmas madness occurring earlier and earlier each year? OK, I'll stop being a grinchâ¿¿the...

Sludge Report

This soap tray from DHC (a Japanese brand sold at dhccare.com) is possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen. I love that there are little holes that keep the soap from getting soggy (isn't...

Scratch, Sniff, Buy!

Has this ever happened to you? You go to a store. You read the back of the label and the florid description of the product intrigues you (ie: "intoxicating Himalayan rose meets sweetly tufted...

Master Plan

When makeup maestro Pat McGrath speaks, I listen. After all, she's the guru behind the gorgeous looks at Prada, Anna Sui, and Lanvin (among others!). So when I chatted with her last night at...

London, Baby!

I hopped across the pond last week for a mini-break to London, one of my favorite cities ever (it's tied for #2 with Paris!). The official list of the best things in England is as...

Affairs of the Heart

Most of my friends would agree that I am not, to put it mildly, a particularly utilitarian person. Why have an all-in-one product when you can have, well, four pretty products, each of which...

Here Comes the Sun

It's a total doom and gloom day in New York City today: buckets of rain and punishing winds. I had resigned myself to a less-than-stellar day when  a wave of products flooded my desk......

Red Alert

Nicole, what happened to your hair? P.S. Anyone else think she looks, um, a tad too skinny? Those gorgeous Christian Louboutin shoes look like they weigh more than her entire body!...
