  • AND THE COCKTAIL GOES TO…

    Whether you’re boycotting or not, there are some films nominated at the Oscars that you will be cheering “salud” just for being so great.

  • BACKSTAGE @ BRANDON MAXWELL FW2016 : DEBORAH LIPPMANN

    Nail Inspiration: Deborah Lippmann “Brandon’s look this season features a stripped-down version of last year’s classically put-together American beauty.

  • SUNDANCE FILM | SING STREET

    This is my first official film review from Sundance Film Festival.

    This New York Fashion Week just felt off. Something was very different from most seasons and I can’t put my finger on it. Many will blame the weather that ruined the weekend – piercing winds, temperature so cold you wished for nothing more than a blizzard to swoop through and turn the streets into mountain…

  • ADELE’S DISARONNO SMOOTHIE ON ELLEN

    If you don’t like Adele, you can’t be trusted. Plain and simple. HAHAHA. You think I’m joking, but I’m not. She’s funny, speaks her mind, has pipes like no other, and maintains her love for her English life. Now, she’s let Ellen in her ears on a recent episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. A…

  • STYLECARTEL EXCLUSIVE | THE SLEDGE GRITS BAND “AM WHAT I AM”

    In today’s overly crowded music climate, it’s rare when an act immediately grabs your attention—and holds it. The Sledge Grits Band grabbed my attention a few years ago and never let go. Edgy yet infectious pop-rock paired with insightful, positive lyrics is the calling card of this unique sister act. Siblings Keiko (guitarist/songwriter, 21), Ella…
