A trench coat is a great travel coat because it protects you from rain, keeps you warm, and is stylish. Features to look for include a hood (many are detachable) and a removable liner so you can make the coat warmer or cooler depending on the weather. A 3-in-1 jacket is a sportier [...]
Coats are second only to dresses when it comes to my favorite articles of clothing. Today I’m showing you two I will be wearing frequently this fall: a dress coat and a down jacket.

I recently discovered this drugstore L’oréal skin primer, which you wear under foundation. It comes in one color, which is great for me because I’m rarely confident enough to feel like I can choose makeup on my own that is going to look good. I use this as a special occasion product because I [...]

When I first met Tina, she told me (nicely!) that black was not the most flattering color for me. I gave it up cold turkey and now have less than five items of black, non-athletic clothing. If I wear black anywhere near my face, I break it up with a fabric or accessory in [...]
