There are a few facts about living in NYC: 1. Rent is going to be ridiculous. 2. You can find a dollar slice of pizza on almost every block. And 3. You will be walking everywhere. New York is one of the most walkable cities in the world, which I love. As long as the sun […]

If you find yourself constantly wearing black, it may be time to reevaluate your closet. It’s not that black is going out of style (it never will), but rich brown hues are reigning supreme this fall. Essentially, velvety chocolate shades and cool coffee hues are taking over as the neutral of the moment. It also […]

I’ve officially hit that age where everyone is getting married. Truly, it seems I get a new Save the Date in the mail each week, and honestly, I’m thrilled! I may be years away from walking down the aisle, but I love celebrating love. Plus, I’ll take any excuse to get all dressed up. There’s […]

If you’ve spent any time on TikTok in the past few months, you’ve probably seen tons of videos about latte makeup. The latest food-centric makeup trend is fall’s It-girl look (look to Hailey Bieber and Zendaya for inspo), and it’s easily emulated. Inspired by a latte’s rich brown hue, the craze requires minimal effort — […]

Sure, loungewear can be worn 365 days of the year, but something about relaxing in a cozy sweatshirt hits different in the fall. Few things compare to the feeling of throwing on your favorite quarter zip and taking a nice long walk in the brisk autumn air. When it comes to sweatshirt styles, I’m drawn […]

Boo! Halloween snuck up on Us this year. With only a few days left until the Halloweekend festivities begin, you may be stressing out about who to be, how to decorate and what treats to give to trick-or-treaters. If you fit into one of those categories (or all of them), take to Amazon immediately. We […]

I’ll let you in on a little secret: I never heard of Zara before moving to New York City (small town probs). Nowadays I’ll browse through the store’s latest fashions, but I rarely buy anything. Why? I know where to shop online to get the Zara look for less money and similar quality — especially […]

By the time fall rolls around, I can almost guarantee that red hair is going to be trending again. This year, copper cowboy, pumpkin spice and chocolate cherry are some of the most popular red hues. (Yes, those are actual monikers for red hair colors, not the latest food fads.) I like to say I’ve […]

Ever wonder how celebrities like Gigi and Bella Hadid, Miranda Kerr and Kate Hudson keep their faces looking snatched? Sure, genetics plays a part, but the real secret may be a handy little device called the NuFace. This FDA-cleared gadget uses low-level electrical currents to lift, tone and contour facial muscles, but the benefits go […]

Haven’t you heard? Workout sets are so last year. Exercise dresses are the new must-have workout outfit, changing fitness fashion once and for all. These cute and trendy frocks are made from the same sweat-wicking materials as your favorite leggings and feature hidden shorts so you can get your sweat on in style while feeling […]

If you stay on top of the fashion trends, you’ll know that metallic shoes are everywhere this season. I, for one, am thrilled — I’m automatically drawn to anything that shimmers. For those who are sparkle-averse, though, the trend can still work for you. When it comes to footwear, consider metallic hues to be an […]

We all know the clean girl beauty aesthetic. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a trend that has completely taken over TikTok and refers to effortlessly chic and minimal makeup. When it comes to fashion, we think trench coats perfectly encapsulate the clean girl vibe. These elegant layering pieces are classy and feminine, while […]

Emily Ratajkowski has always been one of my favorite models. Not only does she seem so real (if you haven’t read her book My Body, you must!), but she also has the most impeccable style. When I’m in need of upgrading my wardrobe, I scan through her most recent street style looks to gain inspiration. A […]

I love a good self-care moment as much as the next person, but I’ve been relatively disappointed when it comes to at-home face masks. I’ve tested my fair share of face masks over the years — everything from clay and sheet masks, to cream and overnight formulas. You name it — I’ve slathered and smeared […]

I love fall just as much as the next person, but I find it so difficult to dress myself. The weather really throws me for a loop when it’s 40 degrees in the morning and 65 by mid-afternoon. More often than not, I bundle up and am left feeling like a sweaty mess by lunchtime. […]

Hanacure may be best known for its celebrity-loved tightening mask, but this sensitive skin-safe brand has a new product which deserves just as much attention. Introducing Hanacure’s Nano Emulsion Moisturizer: Our new favorite moisturizer for keeping our complexion ultra-hydrated and happy as we head into the dry, cold winter months. The Nano Emulsion Moisturizer is […]

One of my earliest beauty memories is watching my mom slather her face with Olay moisturizer every night. My mother has never been a huge beauty enthusiast, but she never skipped applying her moisturizer. I can still picture her unscrewing the black-topped bottle and dabbing it all over her complexion (and occasionally letting me rub […]

Even though I’m not the most fashionable girlie out there, I know that I do in fact have a good fashion sense. My closet is full of timeless basics, a few statement pieces… and don’t even get me started on my shoe collection. The one thing my wardrobe has always lacked, though, are good handbags. […]

Coat trends cycle in and out, but over the last few years, the puffer has reigned supreme on and off the ski slopes. That said, the heavily-insulated coat isn’t universally loved — not everyone fully understands the marshmallow-chic aesthetic. And, as it turns out, the traditional puffer’s time in the spotlight may be coming to […]

You can always see me sporting a dress no matter the season, even in the fall when the weather cools down. Dresses are just inherently easy — simply pair them with some tights, booties and a jacket and you have a trendy outfit in minutes. There’s one small detail that I look for before purchasing […]

Celebrities seem to have an uncanny ability to not age. Think about it: stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie are now in their 40s and 50s, but still look nearly the same as they did 20+ years ago. What is the secret for aging so gracefully? In the case of Jolie, it may […]
