How to Get That Gucci Look, on a Budget

Basically, how to get the celeb look for a fraction of the price.
Everyone from Vanessa Hudgens to Beyoncé to Dakota Johnson's been decked out in Gucci lately, and it's not hard to see why. The iconic double-G logo (seen on Vanessa's belt) in combination with the equally-as-iconic ribboned stripe (originally red and green, but sometimes red and navy as collections are added) and heavily-embroidered bags scream luxury. And that's what we all strive for, right?

19 Cute Boho Dresses All Under $100

Nothing says summer quite like a breezy boho statement dress.
Not only is a loose-fitting, yet flattering dress beyond easy to throw on in the A.M., it's also the most warm-weather appropriate ensemble there is. For a dress to be considered boho, it just has to have that effortless, one-of-a-kind summertime vibe. Maybe you're more of a paisley print gal, or perhaps you're drawn to embroidered details. Or maybe you're more simplistic and are looking for something loose fitting in a soft touchable fabric.

Think of classic metallic hues as the new neutral; they can be worn with anything, while giving any ensemble a stylish upgrade from blah to bling, stat. This season, metals are playing with our hearts — and our feet. From gold to rose gold, silver to bronze, these metallic shoes are making our summer feet smile with sexy delight (and all for under $125!).

7 Signs That It May Be Time For You To Find A Therapist By Stacey Younge, LSCW

“What’s the craziest thing someone has told you?” is the most common question I get when people learn I am a therapist, particularly since the bulk of my career has been providing mental health services to court involved youth and families. I know the kind of stories they want to me to tell, but the truth is all kinds of people come to therapy, for all kinds of reasons.

Section, clamp, twist, repeat—these are the basics of curling hair.
Whether you do it every morning (beware: heat damage) or for special occasions (See: Elsa Hosk), you've most likely solidified a routine. That's great for efficiency, as it can take some time, but you might be missing out on a range of styles. The temperature, angle of the tool and size of the barrel play major roles in the resulting curl pattern. With the curling iron's versatility, how do you know which setting is the best for your hair or desired style?

When it comes to acne spot treatments, you don't want to mess around.
The right one will shrink a pimple and can even help heal skin faster. The wrong one, however, may do more damage than good: Some treatments can dry out the skin, while others will break you out even more, making the experimental process slightly terrifying.

Naomi Campbell

As the saying goes, “In fashion, one day you’re in, and the next, you’re out.”  But this week’s beauty crush has, is, and will always be in.  We all know how fleeting the career lifespan of a model can be, even if she was one of top earners.  But since being discovered at the age of fifteen, and recently celebrating her 47th birthday, Naomi Campbell continues to dominate the modeling world with a walk as legendary as her name.  Not many can accomplish all this British icon has.  Countless magazine covers and editorials, runway shows, and ad campaigns still keep her the working model she is, but there’s more to Naomi than meets the eye.  Which probably explains why she’s still so sought after.
