Summer vacations give you plenty of time to play and bond with your kids — and who doesn’t love that? There’s one thing that could prevent you from fully basking in the fleeting moments with your little ones, though, and it’s pretty surprising: your wardrobe. Think about it. How many times have you wanted to […]

When’s the last time you put on sunscreen? I surely hope it was today. (According to dermatologists, you should be wearing SPF every single day). If you’ve been slacking on the sun protection, I urge you to get into the habit this summer. The sun’s rays are the strongest in the summertime, and the only […]

In a perfect world, we wouldn’t have to work in the summer . . . but unfortunately the office life isn’t always avoidable. There are a few ways to make summertime work days more enjoyable, though. My advice? Wear a fun, breezy dress that boosts your mood! Carefully selecting outfits that make you happy can […]

As soon as the weather starts heating up, I can’t wait to swap out my dreary winter clothes for my vibrant, happy summer wardrobe. I’ve perfected almost every aspect of my warm weather closet . . . except for the sandals. Compared to other shoe styles, sandals are notorious for rubbing and causing blisters. Talk […]

Ever since Taylor Swift released The Tortured Poets Department back in April, fans had been speculating how — and if — the superstar would incorporate her new album into the upcoming Eras Tour stops. Well, after weeks of theorizing, the world finally got a glimpse of the extravagant addition when Swift kicked off the European […]

Some of my favorite memories from adolescence happened during sleepovers. Slumber parties — with all of the endless giggles, silly nonsense and sleepless nights — are the epitome of girlhood. Little did I know that the sleepovers would only get better as I headed into adulthood. Now that my friends and I have our own […]

Calling all fashionistas: Are you up to date on the summer trends? Because of TikTok, it seems like the trends cycle in and out of style so quickly, but there are a few that have staying power and are on track to become the hottest styles of the year. Keeping up with the chicest styles […]

Shopping for bathing suits can be the most aggravating thing, especially when you have a larger bust. It often feels like all of the cute trendy designs only work for those with smaller chests — and frankly, that’s totally unfair! Times have been changing, though, and those with bigger chests are finally getting in on […]

It’s hard to believe that it’s already that time of year to swap out your winter clothes for your lighter, brighter summer wardrobe. However, I’m going to let you in on a little secret — you shouldn’t just be switching the clothes in your closet. As the cold, dry weather melts into warm spring and […]

Summer — and all the happy vibes that come with it — is just around the corner! There’s not one bad thing about this joyful season . . . except maybe when our sweat glands go into overdrive. Nothing is worse than having to deal with sweat stains or feeling damp while out exploring and […]

The 2024 Met Gala — AKA fashion’s biggest night — was abound with show-stopping looks. The stars did not come to play this year. Each attendee fully embraced the “Garden of Time” theme with whimsical florals and dreamy interpretations of classic folkloric characters. It was difficult to choose just one standout look from the night […]

If you were to ask any professional stylist to name one must-have summer fashion staple, they wouldn’t tell you jean shorts or even a standard tank top. Instead, they’d say “anything linen.” The lightweight fabric has become a warm-weather wardrobe cornerstone for much more than its breathability — whether it’s made into a breezy button-up, […]

Summer has always been my favorite time of year. When I was younger, I’d gather up all of the money I saved up over the year to revamp my summer wardrobe each May. I was definitely the most stylin’ kid on the block . . .albeit a broke one. Fast forward to today and I […]

Everyone knows they should wear sunscreen every day, but that doesn’t mean everyone actually does. Thick, heavy, pore-clogging sunscreen formulas are partially to blame. Many of us are still scarred by the uncomfortable SPF our moms slathered on us as kids, but new sunscreen innovations are shifting the tides. There are plenty of sunscreens that […]

In the past, I always believed I could never have enough swimsuits. But while I was busy buying the most viral bikini, I was failing to stock up on beach cover-ups. Newsflash: Don’t be like me! Cover-ups are an integral part of your summer wardrobe, and the best ones are incredibly versatile. (If you’ve ever […]

As we get closer and closer to summer, you’re probably ironing out the final details of your major trips and vacations — including what you’re going to pack. Regardless of where you’re traveling, it’s imperative to pack a white dress. A breezy white sundress is a quintessential (and versatile!) piece that everyone should have in […]

The celebs have spoken! Mesh ballet flats are the It Shoe of the moment. Countless stars — from Dua Lipa and Sofia Richie to Zendaya and Kourtney Kardashian — have been seen sporting these edgy yet delicate shoes all over the world. The breezy nature of the design (they are made of mesh, after all) makes […]

There’s something so special about a mother passing down a special beauty trick or sharing a tried-and-true makeup product with her daughter. Beauty connects us in so many ways, and, although they may seem small, these moments become indelible memories in a girl’s life! I love hearing about celebrities who attribute their skincare rituals or […]

Have you ever wondered what celebrities carry around in their bags? I imagined the obvious things, like a wallet, phone, keys and maybe a few lip products, but Bella Hadid keeps her purse stocked to the brim with everything she could ever need. The model recently gave fans an inside look into what she keeps in her […]

Every time I get on TikTok I discover new fashion trends. Most of them disappear into the abyss pretty quickly (AKA they become micro trends), but there’s one niche aesthetic that has secured its spot in the limelight: Coastal Cowgirl. A cross between western styles and breezy, beachy aesthetics, this trend is on track to […]

When it comes to summer denim staples, jean shorts are probably the first thing that come to mind — but they’re far from the only warm weather must-have. A well-rounded summer wardrobe has an array of denim pieces, including shirts, skirts, jackets and even shoes (yes, really!). You see, denim isn’t just the supporting clothing — […]
