We’re all about impressing with thoughtfulness, but if you want to double down and impress with a […]

There’s no time like the present to get your health and fitness in order. If you’re spending more time indoors lately, indulging in sweets, treats and pumpkin spice lattes, it’s a good time to get your body moving! Or, if you already consider yourself a health-forward individual, one with an intensive workout regimen in place, […]

Shopping for significant others is hard, but shopping for in-laws is ten times harder. If you’re new to the family, the harsh reality is that learning your in-laws’ niche interests can take years.

It’s officially boots season! While we love sneakers and loafers at this time of year, there’s nothing quite like a good ‘ol trendy pair of boots.

Anyone who’s seen the classic National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation knows that chopping down a Christmas tree can be more appealing in theory than in reality. Not only are real trees a pain to chop and transport the tree (as seen from the Christmas tree — with roots — on top of the Griswold family car), but […]

Shopping for runners, yogis, gym buffs and pilates queens is a big-time challenge this time of year — especially if they seem to already have it all.

Now that it’s November, we’re officially busting out our heavy winter jackets and boots. It may not be snowy yet, but the deep freeze will sneak up on Us!

Nothing is worse than lugging an overweight tote bag through the airport, across the beach or around the office. Your shoulder starts to ache, dropping your morale and your tolerance for minor inconveniences. It’s no good for you, your neck, your shoulders or your poor significant other who has to deal with the effects. But […]

In case you missed it, Abercrombie & Fitch is having a major moment in the (winter) sun. While all of its pieces are trendy right now, sweaters are on a different level. Abercrombie & Fitch sweaters are a combination of boho, vintage, preppy and sophisticated, most without breaking the $100 mark. They’re a fashionista’s dream! […]

Those who get it, get it. Ladies in Italy do things a little differently, adding a touch (and a half) of class to every getup — even everyday ones.
