NARS are releasing a completely new product – a liquid lip that promises to be fully matte, lightweight, and comfortable to wear. I have the privilege, being in the industry, of getting to sample the full range myself ahead of its July 6th release, and I wanted to share my thoughts. If you want to opt-in to being the first to order these when they…
URBAN DECAY dropped a bombshell on the beauty world not long ago by launching their newest “Naked” palette, part of the uber-popular Naked series of palettes, ironically, meant to be neutral or flesh-toned. It’s called the Urban Decay Naked HEAT palette, and it’s on fire. As the popularity of Naked 1 and 2 began to soar, however, the brand expanded the range to include much…
We are so beyond over the moon to announce that baby Braly, coming November 2017, is a GIRL! HB definitely called it. For some reason I, along with most of our families, thought we were having a boy! Only a rare few believed it would be a girl! We are SO EXCITED. We’ve picked out a name that we’re 99% sure we’re going to stick…
We are so overjoyed and ecstatic to bring a sister for Gidget into the Braly fold. We searched shelters for nearly a year to find Gidget the perfect playmate and companion, with no success. But when we stumbled upon this little girl, we immediately scooped her up and she hasn’t left our laps since. She’s sweet, funny, rambunctious, very playful, and has about a 75%…
About a week ago I had the most amazing spa experience of my life. I haven’t been one much for facials or spa treatments in the past, mostly because I couldn’t bear to spend that much money on myself. But when I was treated to a very generous gift card to the Umstead Spa from my CRNA’s at my place of work for Christmas, I…
my how things have changed I’m having a blast with these Adidas Tubular sneaks – they’re the right mix of neutral beige and sporty effortlessness. I’m still experimenting with them on what goes and what doesn’t – but I quite liked this look on a rare, brisk Tuesday afternoon. Since I’ve become pregnant it’s amazing what temperature swings will do to you! My husband doesn’t…

It’s been over a month since I began my skin’s journey toward smoother, more hydrated skin with Curel Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer. I want to provide my thoughts on the experience. First—I’ve found that moisturizing my skin damp, right after showering before drying off, is a…
As a child I suffered from a handful of skin conditions. As a physician, I now know to call them “atopic”. Eczema, rashes, dry skin, hives – you name it, I had it. Interestingly enough, as the name atopic suggests, it comes from within me. It has nothing to do with touching the wrong plant, using the wrong cream, or being allergic to medication. Quite simply,…
If you’ve followed me for a while now you may be familiar with my predilection for the color grey. Light grey, dark grey, doesn’t matter to me. I love it all. I need to find myself some grey ankle booties – I feel it would have completed the look a bit better. But I do enjoy my Adidas tubular shadow shoes – the beige is…
I shot this look a couple of weeks ago – took my new gucci belt out for another spin (literally CANNOT stop wearing it) and thought it paired nicely with my single flap bag – love that bag so much. A bunch of favorites going on in one outfit: slouchy sweater, gucci belt, black jeans, chloé boots, chanel bag. What more could you ask…
The air is turning warmer, the trees have sprouted tiny white blossoms, and I can smell the green in the air. Spring is coming! Shop the Post I recently got my hands on the sold-out Gucci belt – mind you, this is not a new item but it has become so pervasive among fashion bloggers that the style has sunk into my psyche and I…
