I Used to Hate Pink

January 6, 2018 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Beauty, Fashion, Featured Posts, Outfits Leave a Comment

Maybe it’s the millennial pink phenomenon influencing me, or maybe it’s having a little girl, but I’m starting to really like pink. And with this photoshoot, I have pretty much surrendered to the idea of pink being an acceptable color in my world.  This is probably my favorite photoshoot of 2017, and it feels like […]

Finding a Fit

October 18, 2017 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Beauty, Fashion, Home Leave a Comment

Not many things (none of the things?) in my life have been perfect. Some examples: I thought I would marry the guy I was dating in my early 30s, but he took of with the local barista (not kidding). I planned to adopt one baby and have one biological baby. Biology did not cooperate. I […]

Easy Fancy Manicure: Rainbow Nails

August 9, 2017 by kourosh Filed Under: Beauty, Featured Posts Leave a Comment

I can wind up down a rabbit hole of nail art DIY videos any day of the week and then wonder what just happened to the past hour of my life. In fact, it took me about three days to write this post for that very reason. But in reality, I have neither the time […]

The ’70s Wasn’t That Long Ago

July 20, 2017 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Beauty, Fashion, Home Leave a Comment

Yesterday when I picked up my 5-year-old from camp, the teenage girl working the aftercare exclaimed: “I love your outfit! It’s so ’70s!” (I was wearing basically this.) I took it as a compliment, of course, since the ’70s look is what I’m drawn to and it’s my comfort zone.  Then I got to thinking, […]

The Five-Minute, Five-Product Beauty Routine: Summer Edition

I’ve gone down makeup rabbit holes with liquid eyeliner and whatnot, and I’ve since vowed to keep it simple. I could watch a million makeup tutorials (and I probably have) but I’ll never be one of those women who knows how to really do up her face. And I’m OK with that.  While the products may […]

New Zealand lingerie brand Lonely‘s Spring 2017 campaign features a stunning 56-year-old model named Mercy Brewer.  Co-founder and Lonely designer Helene Morris told Stuff magazine, “The beauty and fashion industries are so obsessed with youth, but the reality is we are all aging, and there are so many wonderful things about growing older. So often the primary […]

Let’s Give Colorful Eyeliner a Try

colorful eyeliner

I have gotten super lazy about my makeup. And that was A-OK with me until this morning when I was cleaning out my mess of a makeup cabinet and found a blue eyeliner pencil and had to make a Konmari decision. Did I love this little blue eyeliner? I decided the answer was no and chucked […]

Perfect Jeans and Sade’s Wise Words on Aging

December 2, 2016 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Beauty, Featured Posts 1 Comment

As I was descending into a Sade rabbit hole, I came across this interview with the gorgeous Nigerian-born British singer. It turned out to be the best kind of procrastination, which began with an interview I did recently with Alan Polomo, A.K.A Neon Indian (stand by for a post on my Forbes page), who mentioned Sade as a style inspiration, which […]

In the Mood for 70’s Hair

November 28, 2016 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Beauty, Featured Posts 1 Comment

My top pin of all time on Pinterest is a photo of model Michelle Buswell with ’70s-style hair (below). It keeps popping up in my Pinterest reports, and it has me quite in the mood for a haircut similar to this one. It also happens to be very much what my hair looked like circa 1983. I’m […]

The teen started school a full two weeks ago, and preschool begins next week. It all means I need to get a little more organized and streamlined about getting myself out the door. Maybe you do too? As I mentioned recently, I am newly obsessed with my brows, but perfecting them is not going to […]
