I’m a jeans devotee, reaching for the timeless style on repeat. But summer poses a challenge, as denim can feel hot, sticky and uncomfortable. So, when I stumbled upon a pair of billowy satin pants at Nordstrom, I knew I had to have them. The lightweight Open Edit bottoms feature a relaxed silhouette that skims […]

Nothing brings me joy quite like summer fashion: it’s vibrant, full of life and injects an instant dose of cheer into daily living. So, when I saw that Nordstrom released a slew of new summer fashion arrivals — 13,000 to be exact — my jaw dropped. Everything from jelly flats and starfish necklaces to frilly […]

No one knows luxury quite like Kyle Richards. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is frequently spotted donning high-end labels, but she also reaches for affordable beauty picks, including a $49 fragrance you can get right on Amazon. Perfume is usually a big-ticket item, so when the actress said she was “obsessed” with Dossier Ambery […]

My summer is jam-packed with travel, including trips to France, England, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic. And while I’m typically a last-minute packer, I’m planning ahead this season. On the list are versatile dresses, do-it-all handbags and — most importantly — luxe sandals. However, I won’t settle for a shoe that’s just chic; it […]

Kris Jenner is no stranger to stealth wealth, often donning luxury labels like Dolce & Gabbana, Hermès and Chanel. Even her skincare essentials carry a pretty price tag, with it not being uncommon for her serums to cost hundreds of dollars. So, when she credited her glass-like skin to a little bottle sold on Amazon, […]

I’m a sucker for a good handbag. My closet is stuffed to the brim with East-West silhouettes, leather clutches and slouchy designs; open up the door too quickly, and they may come tumbling out. But there’s one style I keep right at the front, reaching for it on repeat: a straw bag. Straw bags are […]

If there’s one thing I love, it’s talking about new fashion trends with my closest friends. Since I live 3,000 miles away from my California besties, our convos typically happen via group chats, and our latest chat was buzzing with hot summer finds. While we swear by chic and current retailers, we’ve been loving Amazon […]

Flowy dresses make up about 80% of my summer wardrobe. My favorite pieces are lightweight and irresistibly chic, which instantly make me look polished and put together. And while there are plenty of summer prints to swoon over (think: playful polka dots and sweet gingham), my heart is set on timeless florals. From subtle motifs […]

When I think of relatable celebrities, actress and filmmaker Katie Holmes comes to mind. She’s like a longtime friend that’s effortlessly cool and down-to-earth — so when she dropped her everyday beauty routine, I listened intently. In true Holmes fashion, the exact products she swears by are refreshingly affordable, including her lash-lengthening mascara. Earlier this […]

At 4-foot-11, I know the struggle of finding flattering, petite-friendly jeans. Too often, the bottoms are frumpy, swallow my frame and drag on the floor. But Julia Louis-Dreyfus just made me rethink my style after donning wide-leg jeans. While attending the Tangles premiere at the 79th Festival de Cannes, Dreyfus wore an embroidered longline blazer alongside […]

I know the feeling of opening your closet and thinking you have nothing to wear all too well. You seemingly have all of the right pieces, but curating a chic outfit just seems out of reach. That’s why I turn to one-and-done silhouettes that take the guesswork out of getting ready, like the Lauren Ralph […]

Summer is quickly approaching, and with the warm weather comes tropical travel. But knowing what to pack for a resort escape is tricky work. Overpack, and you’re stuck lugging a weighty suitcase. Pack too light, and you’ll be left with nothing to wear. Thankfully, Nordstrom’s Vacation Edit includes 14,000 holiday-ready styles designed to make prepping […]

Wedding season is quickly picking up, bringing a slew of invitations with it. And while there’s nothing like celebrating true love, buying a new dress for every occasion can get expensive fast. That’s why shopping on a budget is key — and Amazon currently has tons of wedding guest dresses for under $50. I found […]

As the sun spills down and temperatures begin to rise, I’ve turned my attention to summer-ready wardrobe staples. Cotton dresses, flowing blouses and billowy maxi skirts are all high on my list, embodying an effortlessly polished aesthetic. So, when I stumbled upon a pair of palazzo pants for just $29, I knew I had to […]

One week ago, I spent the greater part of my evening doing a major closet clean out, sifting through dozens of dresses, tees and bottoms. I parted ways with worn-out items, pieces that no longer fit my style and — most importantly — silhouettes that pinched or pulled. Because if something isn’t comfortable, it’s unlikely […]

This past weekend, I took the liberty of sorting through my very packed closet. I parted ways with worn-out pieces, dated designs and — most importantly — anything that didn’t feel comfortable. Because gone are the days when you have to sacrifice relaxed silhouettes in the name of style. Warm-weather dresses are no exception — […]

Wedding season is in full swing, and with fresh invitations arriving daily,  the urge to refresh your guest dress collection (and avoid Instagram repeats) grows stronger. But it can be difficult to know where to start when you have countless themes, venues and dress codes to adhere to. Thankfully, Nordstrom has come to the rescue, […]

Living in New York City, I have a front-row seat to the most notable style trends.

Few prints have the same staying power as polka dots. The novelty design has taken hold of the fashion world since the 1840s — and Cameron Diaz is making the classic look fresh again by wearing a billowy spring blouse. The actress wore a polka dot-print top from Chloe during the Outcome press tour, reminding […]

If looking like you just went on a Hamptons shopping spree is high on your list, you’re in the right place. Because few things hit better than breezy, coastal dresses that offer an instantly polished look — no weekend getaway required. But what’s better than a one-and-done silhouette that works for a Montauk escape and […]
