Backstage Beauty at San Francisco Fashion Week

As you'd expect, Fab and I will be covering New York Fashion Week soon.

Inside the small, cramped tents, the energy was exciting and frenetic. Stylists from Umbrella Salon were brushing, drying, volumizing and arranging hair so much that the air was thick with Read more
