Suddenly, I’m ready to rock my natural locks and skip my next salon appointment. The 66-year-old actress isn’t afraid to embrace her natural grays with well-deserved confidence and charisma, and who wouldn’t be when you […]

Let’s face it: some days we stare into our overstuffed closets and think, “I really don’t have anything to wear in here.” Indeed, it can be easy to feel stumped on style when your clothes aren’t calling to you, which is why we invest in fresh, fashionable and surprising pieces to elevate our fashion game.

My closet looks like a garden in the spring, full of fresh colors and blooming prints. But even though I own plenty of trendy, statement-making outfits, there’s one staple I tend to reach for on repeat: Quince’s 100% European Linen Button Front Dress. At 37, I’ve learned to balance my love of bolder floral designs […]

Shopping for swimwear is not always smooth sailing. With many factors to consider — including bust support, backside coverage, design details and more — it can be overwhelming to find the perfect fit to rock with confidence. However, if there’s one brand that consistently delivers figure-flattering fits that make us feel confident and ready to […]

The best vacation handbag is stylish, practical and versatile. Lucky for Us, Nordstrom has the best vacation-ready bags you need for […]

One of the best tricks for staying on a shopping budget? Buying seasonal pieces ahead of time while they’re on sale! Although cold-weather days are (hopefully) limited as spring approaches, right now is the best time to stock up on winter’s trendiest staples and plan for later in the year. Nordstrom is currently offering discounts […]

Curating a cohesive closet is no easy feat. It’s all too easy to fall victim to of-the-moment trends, accumulating a mishmash of pieces that lack unified style. That’s why I’m now relying on monochrome outfits as a simple yet stylish solution to streamline my wardrobe. Choosing one solid color to wear each day not only […]

We owe a debt of gratitude to Hill House Home for bringing us the iconic nap dress, which has redefined the boundaries of comfort and fashion. The stylish nap dress we’ve come to know and love features several key fashion details, like a ruched bodice, flowy silhouette and astutely feminine, cottagecore-style flourishes that are impossible […]

Loungewear has come a long way. In the past, slipping into a cozy loungewear set might have been reserved for casual, sit-on-the-couch-all-day occasions (no judgment here!). These days, however, you can rock cozy-chic sets for any and every reason, from brunch to the office to errand-packed weekends. Still, hunting down the best quality and affordable […]
