Bobbi Brown may have built a beauty empire, but the entrepreneur knows a few things about fashion, too. And while she owns plenty of designer pieces, she prefers to keep her footwear affordable. Just look at her favorite loafers — the style from Madden Girl is under $50! Brown recently shared with The Strategist that […]

If you ask Us, we’d say that everyone can take some fashion notes from Katie Holmes. The actress’ effortless sense of style is easy to emulate, and her iconic looks are something many fans fall back on when putting together an outfit. And if Holmes’ recent outing says anything, it’s that owning a simple wool […]

As someone who is challenged in the height department, I thought I would have to hem every skirt I ever owned — until I stumbled upon some Amazon gems. The online retailer is chock full of skirts that are specially made for those who are 5’3” and under. I’ve made it my mission to find […]

Jennifer Aniston has always provided Us with serious style inspiration. She’s a master at the casual-chic look, making simple outfits appear polished and sophisticated — especially with her enviable accessories. The actress is a major fan of New Balance kicks, and while her favorite $100 pair is often sold out, we found another style that’s […]

It’s a known fashion fact that white sneakers are the cornerstone of your wardrobe. However, it’s also important to build out a well-rounded sneaker collection. It’s good to have options! As a certified sneaker snob, I know what makes a solid, timeless sneaker (and it’s good to include trendy options, too!) My favorite place to […]

Every fall, one specific shoe style dominates footwear trends: mules. These sleek slip-ons are a seasonal staple, thanks to their versatility and comfort, and there’s no doubt that sliding on a pair is a quick way to feel polished. Go ahead and step foot into the trend this year with Amazon. The retailer has a […]

Why is it such a struggle to put on pants some days? Personally, I prefer stretchy leggings over any bottoms with buttons, but lately I’ve been reaching for a different, equally fuss-free option: flowy skirts. Boutique skirts solve the annoying dilemma of dealing with tight pants. While details like elastic waists and roomy leg areas […]

For how often I fly (more than 15 times a year), I’ve never owned a neck pillow — probably because I always manage to nab a window seat. But luck wasn’t on my side for my most recent trip to Europe. By the time I purchased my ticket to Rome, all of the coveted window […]

I have my standing jeans and my sitting jeans — ones that I can only wear standing up and those I can wear while going out to eat and hanging out. It’s not an uncommon conundrum for women, and Levi’s has finally addressed the annoying issue with their now-viral cinch jeans. Levi’s cinch jeans feature […]

Emily Ratajkowski always treated perfume application like a ritual, all thanks to her mom. “It represented womanhood and adulthood to me,” she shared in a video with Elle. And while there are thousands of fragrances to choose from, she always finds herself reaching for Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum. “It’s a classic,” she says — […]

I used to think I needed to shell out hundreds of dollars for a quality pair of jeans, but after working in fashion for nearly 10 years, I can confirm that’s simply not the case. Some of my favorite denim options cost less than $50, like Amazon’s bestselling Sidefeel Women’s Wide Leg Jeans. I’ve decided […]

If I could spend every day at the beach or the pool, I would. However, my hair is very thankful that I don’t. Chlorinated and saltwater hair consistently leave my mane feeling dry and tangled, and despite being a beauty lover, I haven’t curated a solid travel hair care routine to help maintain silky softness […]

Julianne Hough knows a handbag can make or break your entire outfit, and it’s clear with the effortless bag she chose to wear during a fancy outing in New York City. Hough carried a cream colored Khaite bag while promoting her book Everything We Never Knew. The simple knotted purse is effortlessly elegant and surprisingly […]

I never struggled with acne before I reached adulthood. I’ve always had poreless, clear skin, but now, you’d think I’m a teenager with raging hormones with how often I break out. I’ve tried every sort of topical — as well as medications and diet and lifestyle changes — to remedy the situation. Absolutely nothing worked […]

When we’re ballin’ on a budget but need new clothes, the first place we look is Amazon. Is there any other retailer where we could find stylish, high-quality clothes for $20? Probably not. This season, Amazon has the best selection of casual fall dresses, with dozens of options priced at $20 and under. It admittedly […]

If you’re constantly trying to recreate that post-facial glow without shelling out money for a high-end treatment, all you need is the Saie Glowy Super Gel. Seriously — just ask Rebecca Minkoff.

If you only had five minutes to get ready in the morning, what makeup would you apply? For Mindy Kaling, this Live Tinted lengthening mascara is a non-negotiable. On a recent Good Morning America segment, the actress showcased her must-have beauty products — and at the top of her list is the Live Tinted Legacy Lash […]

Do you have a hobby? If you answered no, it’s time to explore your options. One idea that’s not only fun but also beneficial is brewing your own kombucha — and Bruusta makes it easy with its complete starter kit. Think about it, you could buy premade kombucha from the supermarket, but too often it’s […]

I anticipate sweater weather all year round, and while there are plenty of styles to choose from, nothing compares to the timeless cardigan. Cardigans have gone through a sort of rebrand in recent years. For a while, they earned a reputation of being old and stuffy (only for grandma). Now, fresh silhouettes and modern details […]

There are many reasons why wide-leg pants remain one of my favorite fall trends. First off, they’re universally flattering, but even more than that, they are mysteriously slimming and instantly help me feel more confident. It’s all in the draping. . . and the pleats, and the fabric. It’s truly amazing what a good pair […]
