Edited by Fashion Pulse Daily
Reading through the links this week, I realized that fashion week or no fashion week, fashion will most certainly go on! A winter snowstorm couldn’t even slow down New York Fashion Week, and the links below are testament to the wonderful style that exists beyond the runway, such [...]

Marvelous Monday!

Kind of short this week, but that’s ok! You’re all recovering from the weekend and don’t want to be bombarded with links, right? Right!

Value You.

The Oil Cleansing Method: A Review

This was supposed to be a video post, but it’s been so gray and dreary here the last few days that I can’t seem to get good lighting no matter where I go! So you’ll have to deal with text instead.
What is the oil cleansing method, you ask? And what kind of silly person came [...]
