For the most part, Hailey Bieber is a girl’s girl when it comes to fashion. She has a closet full of pieces that are attainable for the average person, but a scarf she recently wore gave me whiplash. Her cashmere and silk The Row design was exactly what I was looking for to complete my […]

You might get hosting and recipe ideas from Martha Stewart, but you should also be looking to the maven for fashion inspiration. Seriously! Even at 84 years old, Stewart has style. And if I’m being honest, she inadvertently influenced me to buy this $28 bow sweater for the holidays. In a recent Instagram Reel, Stewart […]

As soon as December rolls around, I cannot be bothered to wear real clothes (aka anything with buttons or zippers). This time of year is meant for nothing but comfy loungewear. So, no one should be surprised if they only see me in this Trendy Queen Two-Piece Matching Lounge Set for the remainder of the […]

The holidays are prime time to go all out with your beauty routine. Swipe on the glittery eyeliner! Toss a velvet bow in your hair! Indulge in a nourishing face mask! More definitely is better this time of year, especially if you’re headed somewhere fun or celebrating with loved ones. While the clock may be […]

Forget vintage photos of women wearing elaborate fur coats — I’m getting all of my winter fashion inspiration from Taylor Swift. The singer recently stepped out in a timeless, fuzzy peacoat, but what truly made it stand out was its statement-making, winter-ready hue. As the Swift braved the cold during a night out in New […]

Using under-eye patches isn’t exactly new (they’re my secret for maintaining a dewy complexion on long-haul flights or when I don’t get enough sleep). Still, when I saw Jessica Alba putting patches all over her face, I was genuinely shocked. Was this innovation? Maybe. But I soon learned that she wasn’t just slapping under-eye patches […]

You can take the girl out of Gossip Girl, but you can’t take Gossip Girl out of the girl. Leighton Meester’s most iconic character, Blair Waldorf, has continued to influence her over a decade since the show wrapped, and it’s extremely apparent when we look at the actress’s personal style — particularly her footwear. Meester […]

Becoming a mom transformed every aspect of Kourtney Kardashian‘s life — especially her wellness routine. The Lemme founder and reality star began opting for more natural beauty, swapping out her skincare, makeup and even using natural deodorant. While it took her years to find a formula that worked to curb odor, these days she can’t […]

The holiday party season is in full swing, which means a good chunk of your time is probably spent deciding what to wear to each event. You could dig out an old sheath from the back of your closet, or you could find an ultra-flattering, fun dress on this list. All of these Amazon dresses […]

Some people want their home to smell like a Christmas tree farm (especially around the holidays), while others prefer their humble abode to be reminiscent of their favorite tropical destination. Bethenny Frankel‘s ideal fragrance, however, doesn’t fit into either of those boats. She prefers the scent of a wealthy Italian man, which she achieves with […]

The ultimate eyelash struggle is deciding between a lash lift or lash extensions. I’ve had both, and honestly, I wouldn’t recommend either. For fuller-looking lashes, I always suggest committing to a lash serum to see the most significant, long-lasting difference. That’s why I’ll be gifting the fLash Ultimate Lash Duo 2.0 to everyone on my […]

What’s the coziest article of clothing for this time of year? According to Meghan Markle, it’s a chunky knit cardigan — and we couldn’t agree more. Few things compare to wrapping up in a cardigan by the fire, but we specifically want one that looks like what Markle recently wore on Love Meghan: Holiday Celebration. […]

Every year, I say I’m going to get ahead on my Christmas shopping, then end up scrambling to find last-minute gifts. Walmart has come to my rescue time and time again, thanks to its curated selection of thoughtful, ready-to-ship gifts that quickly arrive on my doorstep. This year, I’m doing all my holiday shopping at […]

Shopping for jeans has always been a struggle because of my height. While most styles will hug my curves perfectly, a majority are way too long for my 5’3” frame. I know I’m not the only one who struggles with this. However, you don’t have to continuously hem your jeans for the rest of eternity. […]

Much like other well-known fashionistas, Kate Middleton has a signature style. The Princess of Wales consistently steps out in tailored suits, but her pièce de résistance is her Burberry Silk Tie Blouse, which completes her modern royal look. She loves this blouse so much that she even owns it in multiple colors (that’s loyalty!). While the […]

Korean skincare has taken over social media — and slowly, the world — with innovative formulas that produce glowing, glass-like results. But have you ever heard of Korean hair care? Yep, it’s a thing, and the trend is poised to take over 2026. I plan on getting ahead of the craze with the Anillo Rosy […]

As an avid traveler, one gift that I recommend for anyone planning an international trip is a phone strap. Pickpocketing is rampant in some of the world’s most popular destinations, and keeping my phone securely wrapped around me has saved me from some unfortunate events. That said, not all phone straps are made the same […]

The end of the year is when people start planning their New Year’s glow-ups. And while longer, thicker lashes might not be at the top of most people’s lists, it’s one of those things that makes a major difference. An effective lash serum like the one from LiLash Lash Serum makes an ideal gift for […]

Similar to Katie Holmes’ fashion sense, her fragrance preferences are timeless, effortless and demure. And while she keeps quite a few perfumes stashed in her vanity (like most people), we were pleasantly surprised to learn that one of her favorites is from the relatively affordable brand Jo Malone London. According to InStyle, the actress has […]

The number one way to get long, luscious, healthy hair is to curate a nourishing haircare routine. That doesn’t mean using dozens of products — Kaia Gerber swears by just one leave-in conditioner that has made a world of difference in transforming her hair. In a ‘get ready with me’ video with Vogue, Gerber shared […]

We have some time before winter is here, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait to stock up on cold-weather-friendly clothes. There are already so many great, affordable finds available right now; however, not all of them appeal to petite figures. As a 5’3″ shopping writer, I understand that struggle, which is why you’ll […]
