Not quite boots, not quite heels/flats: ankle boots are great for the indecisive or forward-thinking individual. Wear them with pants, leggings, textured tights, bare legs, or with whatever else you can think of, these boots aren't as dominatrix-y as knee or thigh high boots and can be roped into casual/fashionable category.

The world is a scary place. You can take the edge off in a number of different ways: exercise, booze, underwater basket weaving. Nowadays, a lot of people write off the magical powers of a good bath soak. I too, was one of the non-believers, until I received Lush bath bombs as a birthday present last year. Take a clue from Parks and Rec: Treat yo self. Get your zen on in the tub with one of the vari[...]

Apple cider vinegar is one of those country remedies that can cure just about anything--or so they say. Also, when I say apple cider vinegar, I mean the kind with the gross sentiment at the bottom, that's the good stuff; Braggs or Spectrum should do the trick. Not only is this stuff great for salad dressing, it can work wonders if you suffer from acid reflux. I won't get into the gross details, but[...]

Sometimes called cat eye make-up or french winged eyeliner, it's dramatic, it's fierce, and it's kind of a pain in the ass to do. Luckily, if you haven't check out the STCHD eyeliner makeup tutorial then you should do just that and pick up a few tricks. Here are some of our favorite famous cat eyes:[...]

LBD. This is always on every “must” list, despite the redundancy, it’s really a good thing to own though. Black is slimming, sexy, and it can go with pretty much anything, so if you’re gonna buy one nice dress this year, make it black. Jackets, tights, and jewelry can take this piece to the next level, so feel free to accessories yourself accordingly. Date night, work, weekends: you can[...]

Red lipstick. Don’t listen to what anyone says about only wearing certain lip colors. If you have bad teeth, thin lips, and a meth scab on your kisser and you want to wear fire-engine red lipstick, do it.
