As I get older, I want my style to get easier, which means incorporating more one-pieces like jumpsuits and dresses into my wardrobe. My latest obsession is flowing jumpsuits. These simple yet stylish pieces always manage to make me look longer, leaner, and create the illusion of a slimmer waist, almost like magic. I believe […]

When I was growing up, flip-flops were never really cool or trendy. Oh, how things have changed. Havaianas have been the ultimate flip-flops for seaside vacationers, but the summer style has since transformed from a lazy beach day shoe to a trend-setting city sandal, making it more important than ever to wear something with a […]

While I wish that summer would last forever, I must admit that I’m extremely excited for fall fashion. Nordstrom apparently feels the same way. The retailer couldn’t wait until the official end of summer to start adding some of the most gorgeous sweaters I’ve ever seen on the site, and these 15 are my favorite. […]

I’ve always had a habit of helping people find their dream dresses for every occasion. I mean, I did grow up working in a bridal boutique. After the brides, I adored the shoppers who came in looking for wedding guest dresses. These women loved to play around with color and different silhouettes. And funnily enough, […]

Madonna is far from an ordinary person, so I wouldn’t expect her to wear an average perfume. Her go-to scent is a sumptuous take on rose that smells nothing like grandma. (No offense to grandma.) Unsurprisingly, Madonna has a stacked perfume collection. Yet, she revealed to Interview Magazine that her “main” scent is Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady. […]

My skincare routine has evolved quite a bit since I started my career in beauty almost a decade ago. I’ve added and removed countless steps from my regimen, but the one nonnegotiable thing — other than sunscreen — is my vitamin C serum. Out of all of the formulas I’ve tried (over three dozen), I […]

I’d describe my fashion sense as lazy, but not boring. What do I mean? Well, a majority of my closet is made up of two-piece sets — items that I can throw together without much thought. I own upwards of 20 sets, and most of them are from Amazon. Yes, really! Amazon has plenty of […]

No matter how much I try to add more color into my wardrobe, I’ll never give up my black one-piece swimsuits. Black swimwear is simply classic — just ask Meghan Markle. The actress wore a timeless suit while on a recent vacation in Portugal with family. The color is inherently slimming, looks good on everyone […]

Summertime in Copenhagen is unmatched. Not only are the vibes high, but the fashion is impeccable. Copenhagen Fashion Week hasn’t even happened yet, but on my recent trip, people were already stepping out in their most stylish looks. I’ve always admired the Danes’ fashion sense, and I’m basing my summer wardrobe solely on the top […]

My last trip to London was during this summer’s record-breaking heatwave. I didn’t pack appropriately (the European city is known for its milder temperatures), but I did get inspiration while shopping thanks to the trendy Londoners who were embracing the heat with cool outfits. I saw hundreds of women wearing sleeveless vests, linen pants, sleek […]

I must admit I’ve been slow to hop on the revived capris trend. However, once I slipped into my first pair, I was completely hooked. Capri pants are great for casual summer days or nights spent out on the town, making them as easy piece to wear all season. And, the fashion forecasters predict they’ll […]

I’ve read almost every Elin Hildebrand book, but The Five Star Weekend was by far my favorite. So when it was turned into a show starring Jennifer Garner, I was completely glued to my screen. (I binged it all in one night.) As a Nantucket-frequenter, the show really nailed the mix of nautical and preppy […]

Anne Hathaway’s summer maternity looks are seriously inspiring my style, and I’m not even pregnant! The moment I saw her step out in a beachy crocheted cardigan, I knew I had to recreate the outfit. Luckily, I found this breezy sweater style on Amazon that mimics her look for under $30. Let’s analyze how maternity […]

Celebrities, they’re just like Us. I constantly fall victim to Instagram ads for skincare, and so does Jennifer Aniston. But unlike the many flops I’ve bought, Aniston has completely fallen in love with the cream she found. Last year, the actress revealed to E News that she discovered one of her all-time favorite moisturizers on […]

My days follow the same routine: I wake up, have a coffee, then need another (and maybe even a third) by 1 pm. Sound familiar? I’m far from the only person who struggles with energy crashes. The key to beating them isn’t more caffeine, but rather enhanced hydration, which Momentm Ignition Electrolytes provide. While hydration […]

The days of the signature scent are long gone. It’s not possible for a single perfume to fully encapsulate anyone’s full existence. We are so multifaceted, and, just like the clothes we wear, we need a full fragrance wardrobe to express all sides of ourselves. That’s where Benigna Parfums comes in. Benigna Parfums, a luxury […]

What makes sunscreen enjoyable to wear every day? It all comes down to the formula. If something is easy to apply and feels good, you’ll always remember to smooth it on. At least, that’s Naomi Watts’ philosophy, and she found a drugstore SPF that does it all. In a recent interview with CNN, the actress […]

Sunscreen’s main purpose may be to protect your skin, but it’s much more than that — any product you apply to your face should make you feel good. What’s the point if it doesn’t bring you joy? That’s how Julianne Hough feels about her favorite sunscreen. The multihyphenate has waxed poetic about the EltaMD UV […]

I was lucky enough to miss the last intense New York City heat wave. However, I know I would’ve been just fine because I have a summer wardrobe built for high temperatures. The key is wearing natural, breathable fabrics — like cotton and linen — that are moisture-wicking (a serious attribute in scorching-hot weather). I […]

I’ve been on more planes than I can count — my frequent flier status has reached multi-platinum — yet I never check a bag, no matter how long the flight. I’ve become an expert at traveling for long stretches of time with just a carry-on. Trust me when I say you don’t need a ton […]

Would you ever consider wearing your nightgown out in public? Well, you should, because sleep dresses are one of the hottest fashion trends of 2026. These loose, unstructured dresses have the same aura as a sundress, but with a more romantic, billowing vibe. They keep you cool with flowing fabric and are essentially made with […]
