Valentine’s Day (a.k.a. the worst holiday of the year) will be here in a few weeks. I’ve been Anti-Valentine’s Day for years, but instead of sulking around, I take my angst and turn to fashion. Come February 14, I dress in black to protest the holiday — and honestly, it’s super liberating. If you share […]

Bethenny Frankel is a self-proclaimed drugstore queen. The mogul prefers to buy affordable cosmetics from her local CVS and Walgreens, although she admitted in a recent TikTok that she’s a snob when it comes to fragrance. “I’m not one who is running into the drugstore to get a fragrance,” she explained in the clip. Perfume […]

Isn’t it funny how trends always come back in style? The clothes I wore growing up — low-rise jeans, baguette bags and butterfly clips, just to name a few — are popular again, and honestly, my inner child couldn’t be more thrilled. But even though I’m ecstatic about those revivals, there’s one item in particular […]

I struggle with the same skincare woe every single winter — dryness. This is one of the most common ailments during the chilly winter months, and it wrecks havoc all over the body — turning usually smooth and soft legs, faces and lips into ashy, cracked messes. To prevent skin from drying out, many stock […]

Although it may be tempting to just throw on a pair of leggings and a sweatshirt on busy travel days, there’s something so satisfying about dressing up. Now, I’m certainly not saying to sacrifice comfort. In fact, we can all take a note from the rich mom aesthetic to craft a luxurious and cozy travel […]

There’s no denying that Jennifer Aniston is one of Hollywood’s most beloved A-listers. With her bubbly personality and heart of gold, I can’t help but imagine she would wear a fragrance that matches that effervescent aura — and turns out, I was right on the money! According to the brand, the star has been a […]

Let me tell you a little secret: You don’t need to spend a lot of money to look expensive. That’s the main reason why I love to shop on Amazon — with thousands of quality fashion pieces for less, you can build out a luxe wardrobe without breaking the bank. Don’t believe me? Well, you’re […]

My family has never been a “beauty” family — my mom rarely wore much (if any) makeup, my sister and I seldom blew our hair dry and the most skincare any of us applied was a bit of moisturizer before bed and sunscreen in the summer. Looking back, it’s kind of funny that I grew […]

I’m going to let you in on a little secret that might make you hate me: I’ve never struggled with acne. While my siblings consistently visited the dermatologist to try and get their breakouts under control, I was the token “good skin” child. Occasionally (I’m talking once every other month or so) a random zit […]

Luckily, you’ve come to the right place. The best winter wedding outfits are classy, rich in […]

Loungewear doesn’t have to be drab, slouchy and boring. In fact, today’s loungewear designs are some of the most fashionable we’ve ever seen. They bridge the gap between comfort and style, so you can wear them out and about or while chilling at home on your couch. If you’ve been throwing on your high school […]

I’m very particular about my underwear — they need to be comfortable, cute… oh, and they must be a thong cut. When I tell friends that I only wear thongs, it garners looks of horrors and responses like, “Why would you ever do that to yourself?” and, “Ouch!” Listen, I get it. Every woman has […]

My Roman Empire is the summer of 2016. I can still recall listening to “Closer” by the Chainsmokers for the first time, throwing on a little black choker with every outfit and aimlessly admiring Kylie Jenner‘s bubblegum pink hair. Almost everyone I know wishes they could re-live that carefree time… and that dream may become […]

Is it just me or is winter dragging this year? I know I should live in the moment, but seasonal depression is very real, and I can’t wait for the weather to warm up so I can go outside without freezing. Until then, the best way to combat the winter blues is to shop for […]

2023 fashion trends were marked with simplicity — quiet luxury, cottage core, clean girl aesthetic… I could go on and on. In 2024, we’re ditching the streamlined, plain and boring and bringing out our wild side. That’s right, it’s time to step into your mob wife era. The mob wife aesthetic has been taking TikTok […]

Reneé Rapp is the it-girl of the moment — and she’s only just getting started.  The 24-year-old’s rise to fame has been swift since the release of the new Mean Girls movie (she plays Regina George!). She also made her SNL debut over the weekend as the musical guest alongside first-time host Jacob Elordi. While Rapp’s […]

If you have access to social media, theres a 95% chance you’ve heard of a little movie called Saltburn. The film, which was written and directed by Emerald Fennel, has become a cultural phenomenon this year, and if you haven’t watched it yet, you should immediately add it to your list.

Influencer Alix Earle shot to fame for her “Get Ready With Me” videos which make you feel like you’re on the phone with your best friend. I became fully enamored with her content because of the candid way she’s talked about her skin struggles with acne. It’s been a difficult journey for her, but she’s shared updates […]

There’s no denying that Dr. Martens boots are the ultimate cool-girl footwear essential. The rugged-yet-sleek designs are made for stomping around the city (or the countryside) and automatically upgrade any outfit to create an effortless, grungey-chic flair. I live in my Docs all winter long and can attest to their style and durability. My pair […]

I’m convinced I was a mermaid in a past life. There’s something about the sea that calms me, and I feel most at home when I’m by the ocean. Because I don’t live anywhere near the coast (New York City beaches don’t cut it for me — sorry!), I try to keep oceanic elements scattered […]
