When we asked our editors to send us their prom photos, we weren't surprised by the reactions we heard: "I don't know where they are," "I'll have to have my parents scan them," and our personal favorite, "Oh gosh, I had hoped to forget that phase."Unearthing these treasures reminds us of how important prom is -- at that key moment in a teen's life. From picking out the best dress in the city (where was Rent the Runway back then?) to making sure your updo was perfect, it wasn't easy getting ready for the big day. All of this, along with finding -- or being asked by -- the perfect date, made the pressure of prom nearly unbearable.Our editors have lived all over the place: from Minnesota, San Diego and Pittsburgh, to Greenwich, and even the Big Apple. As such, each prom (and the style of dress) was totally different. It's one of the aspects we love about modern-day proms: the individuality of not only the attendees and ensembles they're wearing, but the event itself! Whether their prom was very formal or casual, all of our editors looked great -- even if they claim they wish to forget it now. This week in New York City the meteorologists are predicting highs of mid to high 70's, and we're excitedly pulling out our sundresses, having dreams of beach trips and sunny summer days.As you gear up for the summer, you're thinking about (and possibly dreading) swimsuit season.

Next week, I'll be jetting over to the West Coast for my third Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival-and truth be told, I might even prefer this annual outdoor extravaganza to Fashion Week. The two-weekend concert event, which unofficially kicks off the entire summer music festival circuit, lures some of the hottest established and up-and-coming bands out to the California desert for three days' worth of sun, mountain views and serious style. And this year's lineup, which includes acts like Phoenix, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sigur Rós, New Order and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, promises to be every bit as epic as usual.But while you'll spot everything from crocheted bodysuits and full-on face paint to feathered headdresses and fringed bikinis-the Coachella crowd tends to get a little wild at times-there are some slightly less flamboyant, far more fashionable options on the market.

And with over 100 artists scheduled in this year's lineup-culled from music's indie rock, punk, electronic and as-yet-unclassified genres-Coachella 2013 is shaping up to be one of the year's best and biggest dance parties.

Do you have to wash every day to keep oil at bay? Instead of living with oily hair, it's time to get to the root of the problem - literally. We spoke to the experts - a dermatologist and a hair scientist - to find out how to stop those oily strands dead in their tracks.Silicone is one of the most common ingredients used in hair care, and unfortunately many silicones and oils are heavy and greasy," he says. "These silicones and oils will attract particles in the air, making hair feel dirty much faster than otherwise." The more you wash your hair, the more you're stripping hair of its natural oils.
