I Tried It: Wearing the Same “Uniform” Every Day for a WeekLife
While my love of makeup is well publicized, I’ve written little about my clothing habits. “Alex,” a strawman I’ve created for the sake of this piece would say, “What’s your wardrobe like? I’m sure it’s just as interesting as your lipstick collection [SPOILER: Not really]. Also, have you ever considered just giving up and wearing a uniform to work?

Here’s How I (Painlessly!) Purged 80 Percent of My ClosetOrganizing
The realization that I had way too many clothes hit me the way it usually hits us: When we’re running late for an appointment and all we can do is stand in our underwear in front of our closet and glare. The whole situation made no sense to me. I had more sweaters than a Gap mid-season sale, too many skirts to count, and there were so many shirts stuffed onto shelves that one literally tumbled out and plopped in a heap in front of my toes. And yet, nothing in there was doing it for me.

The Trending French Beauty Secret That Totally Surprised MeDesign Ideas
French women have had a mythological standard of perfection attributed to them, often being characterized as having it all figured out. One scan across the shelves of your local bookstore will tell you that, if book titles are any indication, they know how to dress better, eat better, and just generally do everything better than women who are not French.

What I Learned About Packing After Living Out of a Suitcase for 6 MonthsOrganizing
I’ve always had this romantic idea about traveling light, where I would walk into a hotel in Paris or a rented shotgun bungalow in New Orleans with nothing but a small backpack on my shoulders, ready to explore the city, unencumbered. While other people would be busy fussing over the wrinkles in their packed away shirts, I’d already be tucked away into some charming little cafe or jazz bar, enjoying the fact that it only took me three seconds to head out the door.

Tested & Reviewed: Baking-Soda Free Natural Deodorants that Actually WorkProjects & Improvements
Last summer, due in part to a story I did on non-aluminum deodorants, I began my “natural” deodorant journey. After having tested a handful myself for that piece, I came to realize that I, in fact, liked these non-aluminum varieties as much (if not more) than the antiperspirants I’d been wearing since I hit puberty. One of my favorites in particular was Soapwalla’s Deodorant Cream in original scent.

How I Taught Myself to Stop Buying Clothes I’ll Never WearLife
Since I was a young girl, I’ve always loved shopping. Back in the day, I may have had more…extravagant takes (I gravitated toward everything pink, sequined handbags, feather boas and kitten heels…topped off with plastic clip-on earrings), but the love for style was already there, albeit it a little misguided. Nowadays I’ve updated a few things here and there, but I can’t say the road to the aesthetic I have now has always been smooth.

Holy Grail Status: The Best Dry Shampoo I’ve Ever UsedDesign Ideas
My hair is pretty middle of the road: mostly straight, mostly healthy yet pretty greasy (the latter problem has led me to be a perpetual daily washer). My hair is so oil-prone that if I wash it in the morning, it’s weighed down and slightly slick by the time my S.O. and I are trying to figure out dinner. I’ve tried a whole slew of shampoos, conditioners and treatments aimed at solving my greasy hair issues.

In sixth grade I looked up from my book one day and realized that every other girl in my class had grown out her bangs. It was as if it had happened overnight — last I’d checked, there was absolutely nothing about me that would set me apart from the crowd, either in a good or bad way. But now, the more closely I looked at all the 11-year-olds around me, the greater the discrepancy appeared to be. Me: thick bangs, chunky glasses, plain denim shorts and a Looney Toons sweatshirt.

The Style-on-a-Budget Guide to a Fall Wardrobe UpdateLife
Thrift stores often get a bad rep, because when people think of charity shops, they envision moth-bitten sweaters and squeaky shopping cart wheels; ’80s razzle dazzle beading and broken old toasters. And to be fair, yes, a lot of that goes down in secondhand stores. But there is a lot of gold tucked in between all those shoulder padded blazers and hand-knit sweater vests. And with fall upon us, hitting those one dollar racks is a great way to update your wardrobe on a tight budget.
