OK, not NEVER, but only a couple times a month. Here are 10 tips for clean, hydrated, frizz-free hair with just conditioner.

It’s easy to forget that the chair you’re sitting on is part of a constantly evolving design process that extends back pretty much to the start of human existence. Since early man first needed a place to sit (or a shelf to store his rocks), furniture design has been a necessary part of life. It wasn’t exactly IKEA, but archaeological research actually shows mankind was creating cupboards, dressers, shelves and seats, all the way back in the eighth century BC.

Some like their chocolate chip cookies soft and chewy. Others prefer it a little crispier. No matter what your cookie preference is, a simple adjustment in ingredients will help you bake your perfect batch of chocolate chip cookies.

Lists are the best. Whether it’s simply the day’s tasks and the weekly groceries, a friend’s book recommendations or the pros and cons of a life changing decision, the act of taking a clean sheet of paper and noting things down is always head clearing and enlightening. But mainly just for you – it takes a certain expertise to write a list that is fascinating for others. Thankfully Tom Ford is a man with expertise, and there is surely no one better qualified than he – the doyen of style – to opine on the essentials of what every man needs.

When we say "vintage," we don't mean rusty antique pocket watches from a flea market. The watches we're talking about are mechanical (the kind you wind yourself), simple (you don't need to know the moon's phases), and above all, iconic. Like these.

Cake just might be the answer to everything.

Once you’ve stocked up on healthy fruits and veggies from the grocery store, the only thing you need worry about is finding a tasty recipe, right?

There are lots of great reasons for going out to a fantastic coffee shop for a cuppa. Coffee shops have a lovely ambiance, are a perfect place to meet with friends or do some work, and are a great excuse to get out of the house. Seeking out a perfect cup of coffee, however, shouldn't be one of the reasons that you hit up your local café.

Warm weather means better weekends. Better weekends tend to have us out later, traveling a little bit, and generally having less time to be in top Monday condition. It's a wonderful thing. No matter how much fun you had, you don't want to be the dude walking around the office hearing "You look like you had fun last night," when the work week kicks off. (Also, don't be the one saying it either.) But, early train rides back home after beach weekends or hardcore benders leave all of us a little worse for wear. It can all be remedied by keeping a few simple products in your desk drawer. Keep them close and you'll look like a boss, even after your most fun nights and weekends.

Three established costume designers reflect on their careers, describe a typical day, and offer advice for would-be designers.

It’s been 29 weeks since I first made this avocado and cucumber salad, which means two things: it predates this news, meaning that all of my theories about this kid making me crave avocado, grapefruit, and chocolate are perhaps completely bogus, elaborate projections on my part. Two, I’ve probably made it 29 times since then and never shared it with you, which is a huge shame. I’m clearly addicted to it, but every time I went to take a few photos and write it out in recipe format, I convinced myself it was too simple to make a big deal of. You know, as if what anyone has ever asked for in their life is more complicated recipes and fewer 5-minute salads worth obsessing over.

Here’s something you should know about me: I only buy cheap jeans. Generally, I have nothing against expensive stuff—I’ve treated myself to more than a few pieces from designer labels I love over the last couple of years—but I just can’t get behind the idea of paying $200 for a pair of jeans. And it’s not just about the money: I haven’t found any premium denim brands that flatter me as much as cheap jeans.

It is a universal truth that Nutella is the nectar of the gods. It takes the already delicious (e.g., sandwiches, cupcakes, or even bacon), and turns it into something magical. Everyone also knows homemade is always better. So if you're looking to step up your baking game, follow these instructions from Cookies, Cupcakes, and Cardio and make your very own Nutella!

There are a lot of reasons for wanting to make sure your herbs last a long time. Maybe you know that your grocery store won't have decent parsley in the winter. Maybe you're taking a last-minute trip and don't want to throw away your perfect batch of basil. Or perhaps you're simply like me, and buy a dozen different herbs at the farmer's market, only to remember that you can't make it through all of them before they go bad.

Rolex has been called “the only watch that matters.” And that’s an opinion held not only by those people — like mountain climbers and deep-sea divers — who need a reliable and durable timepiece, but by investors. Handmade in the Swiss tradition using the finest materials available, a Rolex is among those rarest of things — a manufactured item that can actually appreciate in value as it ages.

Losing friends over lost samples, feeling more important than you actually are when you get an expensed Addy Lee, and learning that the devil might wear Prada but it's not a prerequisite; here are 35 realities of working in fashion.

Really great cheese is a precious commodity. It's a labor-intensive product, which means it doesn't come cheap. But more importantly, like fine wines and spirits, cheese owes its existence and legacy to extremely dedicated, obsessive individuals focused first and foremost on perfecting their craft. That perfection is what you're paying for, and you might as well get your money's worth, amiright?

Every director has a go-to shot that makes a scene unmistakably their own. Let’s take a look at 7 iconic cinematography techniques used by the masters of filmmaking.

When it comes to inventive uses of color, there is hardly a more inspiring example than the contributions of the late husband-and-wife design team of Charles (1907–1978) and Ray (1912-1988) Eames. Working primarily as a painter before their marriage, Ray Kaiser Eames did much to infuse their shared creations, and through them our everyday lives, with color.

Ahead of a new exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, the son of the actress, philanthropist and icon shares intimate photos and memories. Prepare to meet the real Audrey Hepburn.

Consider if you will, what the year 1959 meant to jazz. Just sit back and think about what happened in 1959. From Miles Davis to Ornette Coleman, you had jazz stretching out into new forms and becoming, in my opinion, some of the most beautiful music ever recorded.

There’s something about sunglasses that can make the wearer look like a mega-rock star—think Anna Wintour, Karl Lagerfeld, or actual rock star John Lennon. Conversely, they can also make the wearer instantly detestable—think anyone you’ve personally met who has worn sunglasses inside at night and seemed like a mega-douche.

I love this video about Ryan Neil, an American Bonsai master, because not only do I get to watch him work but I also get to hear him talk about the art of Bonsai. Neil reveals the amount of respect and consideration you need to be able to craft these beautiful pieces of art from nature. It's just lovely.

Can you spot the fake Birkin above with just a glance*? Natalie Wyll and Alexa Ridolfi, the sisters who run A Second Chance Resale, do that for a living, thanks to a $600 billion counterfeit industry. Along with their mother, who founded the Upper East Side store before expanding to Soho's West Broadway, they've become experts at authenticating and valuing designer handbags—especially for the Big Three brands.

Film has always captured my imagination. Even as a child, I was quick to lose myself in its rich worlds. During my grad school days and in the years after when I was modeling, it took on an especially intimate significance. What better way, after all, to recharge after the latest bout of exams or keep myself company during those twilight hours of jet lag? But all of those hours in front of the silver screen did more than entertain: film has been an education in the world of style—and in the art of creating stories through clothing. Some movies continue to shape my eye and I would love to share them here as essential viewing.

Outside bar is one of the best ideas for your garden this year. It is very useful thing when you gather with your friends and when you are making parties.

When you’re learning the ropes, style can be an unforgiving and cruel mistress. The wrong advice or a misguided purchase can quickly leave you looking the fool, and your bank balance a little worse for wear.

As a staff photographer for Harper’s Bazaar, Louise Dahl-Wolfe introduced a witty naturalism to the staid conventions of fashion photography and helped pioneer the use of color film.

The history of hairstyles in the 20th century is a lively one, from the Gibson Girl's chignon to the conk, which was worn by musicians like Sam Cooke, to Lucille Ball's poodle cut, and of course, feathered hair made famous by Farrah Fawcett. It was a century of fast-paced fashions, made memorable by the identities showcased by hairstyle.

With all the talk of an Absolutely Fabulous film of late, Flavorwire has been relishing the opportunity to revisit one of the most consistently hilarious comedies of the last 20 years or so. (It’s not like we really need any excuse, to be honest.) There are many, many things to love about Ab Fab, but somewhere near the top of the list is the, ahem, unique fashion sense of Bubble, Edina’s gloriously ditzy assistant. And so, here is a labor of love: every single outfit Bubble has worn on the show, ranked in definitive order, from awesome to even more awesome.

Granted, reading FashionBeans probably equips you with more than enough sartorial knowledge to impress your squad. But if you’ve become the go-to man among your peers for style advice and set the agenda in terms of how to dress for a night out/work/a few days in Ibiza, then perhaps you’re running low on modish pearls of wisdom.

If a map can help you find your way to anywhere in the world, then a map can most certainly help you find the kind of music you want no matter where you are. The moment you search for an artist, it shows you an entire map of other acts that you may want to listen to as well. The closer the artists appear on the map, the more similarities they have and the greater the chances are for you to like these other suggestions.

This orange creamsicle ic ecream is a cross between a really smooth creamy ice cream and a more fruity icy sherbet.  Best of both worlds and it is mostly fruit!

There are two kinds of butter in life (and at the grocery store): The butter you cook with for fat and flavor, and the butter that is the star of the show – the one you spread on toast, or add as a finishing touch to an otherwise bland baked potato.
