Shoulder length hair with bangs is the cut that looks effortless in photos and turns into a negotiation every morning.

Bangs for shoulder length hair are not low-maintenance. … Read more

She used exactly three mini schnauzer haircuts on 90% … Read more

I’ve been to exactly three disco-themed parties in the last year. Two of them, I overdid it. Full sequin jumpsuit from ASOS ($78), platform boots, glitter on my eyelids.

My favorite gray Carhartt hoodie cost me $55 and I’ve worn it to job interviews, first dates, and a beach bonfire within the same month. Nobody batted an eye.
