It’s always a good day to buy a new dress, but this week we have a special recommendation from our lovely model, Kennedy… and who doesn’t love to hear what a model picks as her favorite?! The Band of Forces Black Dress is obviously cute, but Kennedy loves the box-pleated, full skirt, and the fact that this dress will pass effortlessly from the holidays into spring!

If you’ve ever been stuck on what to give that special someone for the holidays, there’s nothing like a good gift guide to point you in the right direction. Starting at just $10, I’ve put together a collection of some of my favorite picks from LuLu*s and beyond!

Chic trinkets like watches, sunglasses, and jewelry make great stocking-stuffers, and it may be time to spring for that cute Wildfox necklace your bestie/sister/girlfriend has been eying!

I always love receiving a favorite film, and Moonrise Kingdom is definitely my pick of the year, along with the newly released gift sets from Blue Lagoon Iceland. It’s pretty much time to pamper your loved ones like never before!

Even if she hasn’t sent you her Wish List, a good coat is always well appreciated. TIP: Sneak into her closet and measure one that fits her well.

Create a ravishing ombre lip in no time at all with this easy makeup tutorial!

All you need are two lip colors that are approximately two shades apart, and a brush. This fabulous two-toned look will make all the difference in the world whether you’re off to work, or out for the night!

1. Start with a good base coat of your darker shade.

2. Using a makeup brush*, apply a lighter shade to the interior of your lower lip leaving 1/8″ to 1/4″ of your darker shade along the bottom, and more along the sides. Apply a similar amount to your upper lip, following the natural cleft. (*This step can also be done straight from the tube.)
