My friends have no idea where I am at any given time. Yep, I’m that person. I catch flights (not feelings), and I’ve racked up more frequent flyer miles in the past year than most people do in their entire lives. All this to say, I’ve become a bit of an expert when it comes […]

Using facial ice globes is always a good idea — and not just when there’s a heat wave. The cooling effect of these fun skincare tools doesn’t just feel refreshing, they also tighten and lift skin for a more sculpted appearance. Sarah Jessica Parker has known this for a long time (like, as long as […]

You’ve probably heard of the powersuit — a beautifully tailored pantsuit that makes women look like total bosses. There’s always going to be a time and place for those, but Scarlett Johansson just proved skirt suits have the same (if not better) effect. Johansson wore a chic Schiaperellii skirt suit while on a press tour […]

Bethenny Frankel made her Miami Swim Week debut in May, and she was on fire! The 54-year-old entrepreneur rocked the runway in four looks, and I can only hope I look half as good when I’m her age. Her publicist gave Us the details on how she got bikini bod-ready, and much like her workout […]

Regardless of the time of year, Kyle Richards is always sporting a post-vacation glow. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has regularly expressed her love for spray tans. However, she recently ditched the pricey treatment in favor of a drugstore tanning lotion — specifically, the Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer. During one of Richards’ […]

Have you heard of the napkin skirt? The latest fashion trend has completely taken over my social media feed, and it’s on track to become summer’s most sought after bottom. These fun skirts often feature asymmetrical layers and hems that make them look vintage and one-of-a-kind. Mini styles are perfect for seaside vacations while longer […]

Breezy skirts are one of the most comfortable summer fashion pieces you could ever wear. And while skirts are comfortable in nature, the flowing silhouette isn’t too shabby, either. Even if you have a few skirts in your closet, no summer wardrobe is complete without a linen-blend pick. If the recent heat warnings isn’t a […]

Growing up, I dreamed of owning anything from Kate Spade. I admired her eclectic yet tasteful handbags, shoes and jewelry and saved up pennies until I could afford a wallet. Lucky for me now as an adult, there are plenty of affordable Kate Spade accessories that make the brand accessible to anyone. Seriously, the designer […]

There are some footwear trends I will never get behind. You’ll never catch me in cowboy boots (they remind me too much of my rural upbringing). I used to feel the same way about fisherman sandals, too, but this unique design has started to grow on me. I think it’s partially because the thought of wearing open […]

Where in the world am I? Well, that’s a question my friends often ask me. This year alone I’ve been to France and Denmark, and have two more trips to Europe planned for the fall. Not to mention my yearly summer trips around the U.S. Long story short: I’m always on the go, and I’ve […]

Have you watched Sirens on Netflix yet? If you haven’t, you’re missing out on a riveting storyline — and some of the most gorgeous summer fashions. I couldn’t stop admiring the gowns worn by Julianne Moore’s character, Mikayla. She floated across her breathtaking estate in the most beautiful airy sundresses. I aspire to be her, […]

Fashion has never been my thing. While, yes, I did go to fashion school, and my friends would say I have good style, my closet frustrates me most of the time. After a mini breakdown where I realized I no longer liked any of my summer clothes, I took myself shopping. I perused Zara, Aritzia […]

The first shorts-friendly day of the year is always memorable. I get an instant rush of dopamine the moment I shimmy into my favorite denim shorts; yet, without fail, that joy quickly transforms into annoyance once my thighs start chafing. I had accepted that inner thigh brush burns were simply unavoidable — until I stumbled […]

Few things compare to a summer beach day (or pool or lake day, if that’s more your style). You get to soak up the sun, enjoy the fresh, salty water and maybe even finish a riveting beach read. Nothing can ruin your mood…except a soggy beach bag. Not all totes are created equal, which is […]

It’s a tale as old as time: As soon as the temperature breaks 80 degrees, every outing results in sweat droplets running down my back, resulting in extra damp clothing. Some clothes can be completely suffocating, while others show sweat stains instantly. One way to avoid feeling uncomfortable? Stocking up on linen and linen-blend pieces. […]

Finding a cream that soothes both eczema and acne can be a real challenge, mainly because these two skin issues are at total opposite ends of the skin spectrum — eczema is a dry skin condition, while pimples are often a result of excess oil production. Even if you don’t deal with either of these […]

Shopping for clothes has never been easy for me, namely because I’m pretty short — 5’3″ to be exact. But while you might think I’d struggle with pants the most, I’ve had one too many issues with summer dresses. So many silhouettes and patterns make me disappear, to the point where the dress is wearing […]

We might not be getting Reputation (Taylor’s Version) anytime soon, but Taylor Swift is certainly serving up coded looks from that era — but with a summer twist. Swift was recently spotted heading into her favorite Italian spot, Via Carota, wearing a delightfully sexy floral sundress from Doen. She regularly dons pieces from the line, and […]

Whenever I have a bad hair day, I rely on my trusty baseball cap to hide the bed head. Any woman can attest that wearing a ball cap when their hair is down is a simple way to feel put together between washes. But when it comes to putting our hair in a ponytail while […]

Dying your hair is a never-ending commitment. You can expect to book regular appointments to keep your roots fresh and your color vibrant, unless you somehow mastered an at-home dye job. When Eva Longoria wants to put off her appointment for a few weeks, she applies the L’Oréal Paris Magic Root Cover Up. The actress […]

Was it just me or did anyone else watch all of Netflix’s Sirens in one sitting? Between Kiki and Simone’s dynamic, the thrilling drama and picturesque settings, this show had me begging for more. But it was the eye-catching patterns of the characters’ coastal dresses that made me realize my summer wardrobe needs a major upgrade. […]
