ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: CoverGirl Sunday
Today, CoverGirl invited a group of LA bloggers to the Byron & Tracey salon to watch Rashida Jones prep for the MTV Movie Awards. I adore the salon—it’s so incredibly bright and cheery—and like Rashida even more. She’s nice, smart and of course easy, breezy and beautiful.

I’m usually very dubious of online quizzes. But they’re a fun way to procrastinate whenever I’m facing writer’s block. Tonight, I took one for research purposes only. I wanted to see if CoverGirl could correctly predict which shade of their new
