Me with the "Olympic Bears!" Standing outside the Richmond Olympic Oval with my speed skating ticket! Go Team USA!! US speed skater Jilleanne Rookard! The winner! The medal ceremony. So neat! Hanging out with...

As someone who grew up with two close friends whose parents had Multiple Sclerosis, I was under the false impression that it was a disease that only affected adults. The truth is, this misconception can...

It seems that I, along with pretty much everyone else in the Teen Vogue office, can't get enough Liberty Print. The pretty flowers are popping up EVERYWHERE, due to the storied fabric house's recent...

For the past three or four days, I've had the Olympics song stuck in my head on repeat. It's not just because I've been watching daily (how amazing was Shaun White?! I still can't get...

EEEEEKK! When Eva asked me to cover backstage at 3.1 Phillip Lim I was nothing short of ecstatic. You see, I'm fully obsessed with Lim, and the chance to go backstage at his show...

Every year, one of my personal favorites is Michael Kors (I have a thing for all things Americana and camel colored...) so I was super excited to go backstage and check out the look. Once...

I guess in fashion everything does come full circle! Yesterday Marc made a return to his grungy roots with the look at Marc by Marc Jacobs. "It is what it is!" exclaimed Guido Pulau, Redken...

Continuing with last season's theme, the look at Malandrino was worldly! "This season, Catherine was inspired by Mongolian beauty," said Tom Pecheux with MAC Cosmetics. "We're giving them high-looking sharp cheekbones and a really powerful...

If one thing is clear by now, it should be that the 90's are back...in a big way! Backstage at the VPL show Jose Rivera with the Sephora Pro Beauty Team was responsible for creating...

The look at Peter Som was unspeakably lovely! Almost enough (almost!) to convince me to abandon my love of neon lips in favor of something more sinister for fall... Tom Pecheux with MAC cosmetics was...

Lately I've been a real devotee of neon lips - Mandarina by Milani to be exact. I've worn it every day of Fashion Week and get endless compliments on the shade. My devotion to my...

Karen Walker was definitely another of my faves. The truly amazing and gorgeous Jenna Menard was behind the makeup: "Karen wanted a statement look, so I thought what better than a red lip! It's a...

So pretty! The look at Cynthia Steffe was "bad girl gone good," said Christian McCulloch for MAC Cosmetics. "We're doing a modern take on a 60's girl, sort of a cleaned up mod. We're using...

Rag & Bone has to be one of my absolute favorites every year. The clothes are just so cool and wearable, and the amazing Gucci Westman never fails to disappoint, delivering gorgeous it-brit girl makeup every year....

Remember a few weeks ago when I blogged about wanting to go mega-blonde but being thwarted by my crazy damaged hair? Well, thanks to L'Oreal Professionnel Inoa, I'm living the dream!! I am super,...

Suffering from distressed tresses? Rescue your damaged locks with tips from top models. Shiny, bouncy 'dos may be a staple on the runway, but backstage, models' hair is routinely treated with less than TLC. "The...
