Some people love it when others compliment their smile, their hair or their outfit. (I love it when I get compliments on all three.) However, my all-time favorite compliment is when people tell me my eyelashes look so lush. I put in the extra effort to make sure these babies are in tip-top shape, and […]

I hate to make generalizations, but I bet that every woman has experienced a thong catastrophe in their life. Dealing with an extra-tight, uncomfortable thong is almost like a rite of passage. Despite the thong stereotypes, these undergarments aren’t supposed to feel itchy or painful. Take it from someone who only wears thongs (me). There […]

Transitioning back to regularly working from the office has been a total slog. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to socialize with coworkers, but I’m so miserable when I’m not in my cozy sweatsuits. If only it were socially acceptable to wear loungewear to work! Fashion labels understand, and plenty have released items that look […]

There are a few closet basics that everyone should have: stylish white sneakers, a flattering pair of jeans, a tailored leather jacket and most importantly, a crisp, white T-shirt. White tees are hands down the most versatile wardrobe essential, and the best picks can be dressed up or down and paired with an array of […]

My seasonal depression is about to end because daylight savings time starts this Sunday. Yep, we’ve almost made it out of the dark depths of winter! I could certainly use an extra hour of sleep (couldn’t we all?), but I won’t complain about losing that time. In fact, I’m well prepared for it thanks to […]

We’re still months away from summer, but The White Lotus has Us dreaming of warmer weather, longer days and tropical destinations. I’m taking it one day at a time, and scratching my travel itch by upgrading my summer accessories. Now’s the perfect time to shop sandals and bags since we’re still in the off-season — and Tory […]

Hydrating lip products have come a long way since your run-of-the-mill balm. Over the past few years, nourishing formulas have gotten a major facelift and do so much more than simply protect and hydrate your pout. The best of the best will also impart a lustrous, glossy finish, smell incredible and provide a slight tint, […]

I always love it when celebrities swear by affordable skincare. Take Cameron Diaz for example: The actress keeps her routine simple with the Versed Press Restart Gentle Retinol Serum, a $20 pick that’s just as effective as options quadruple the price. Along with an award-winning skincare collection, Versed recently unveiled its new makeup line that includes […]

If you’ve been watching White Lotus, chances are you’re dreaming of your next vacation (or may have already planned one). After a seemingly never-ending winter, we all deserve a tropical getaway, but booking the flight and accommodations is just the beginning — you can’t go on a trip without buying new outfits! Trust Us when we […]

I have a strong feeling Gwyneth Paltrow’s at-home style is elegant yet comfy. I picture her floating from room to room wearing rich mom-esque matching sets and simple slides. While I can’t confirm her outfit of choice, I know for a fact that she does wear slides around the house — more specifically, ones from Message. […]

Hollywood’s biggest night — a.k.a. the 2025 Oscars — has come and gone, but we have a feeling we’ll be talking about the beauty looks for weeks! To round out awards season, the stars did not come to play. Everyone looked absolutely radiant, and we now feel the need to copy all of the noteworthy […]

Recently, I’ve been trying to level up my business attire. I don’t want to wear your basic, crisp pantsuit — I work in a creative field, so I have a little leeway with my outfits and can still add pops of personality while looking professional. I’ve searched high and low for the perfect work-appropriate celebrity […]

I love my wardrobe, but there’s one area that could use improvement. My outerwear collection lacks spice — especially when it comes to transitional pieces. While I’ve stocked up on winter jackets and lightweight cardigans, when it comes to those in-between weather days, I’m at a loss for what to wear. I even hired a […]

As a beauty writer, I’m always researching and learning about new, exciting ingredients being used in skincare products. I’ve become well-versed in antioxidants, hydrators like hyaluronic acid and, of course, retinol. These are all elements that are commonly found in formulas, but every once in a while, I’m so surprised by an unexpected addition that […]

Plaid can walk a fine line between schoolgirl fashion and understated elegance. One brand that consistently gets it right, however, is Burberry. The label’s tartan scarves and coats are a pinnacle of high fashion and grace, but the company makes so much more than outerwear and accessories. I’ve never fallen in love with a dress […]

Celebrities have the most exhausting travel schedules in the world, yet they somehow always manage to look well-rested and sculpted. You’d think that after decades in the industry, Hollywood veterans would show some signs of fatigue . . . then you look at stars like Jennifer Aniston who never seems to age. What gives?! Well, she […]

We’re in the home stretch of winter — just four more weeks until it’s officially spring! Here in New York, we’re getting the first few signs of the season change with warmer weather, brighter skies and fresh fashion. To top things off, New York Fashion Week recently solidified the fact that boho is back. . […]

You often hear how common it is for guys to experience thinning hair, but this phenomenon doesn’t just happen to men. Women can deal with thinning hair for a variety of reasons — it regularly occurs during postpartum, right around menopause and can even be the result of certain medications or hormonal fluctuations. I love […]

Are you as enamored with The White Lotus as we are? Now that season three is underway, we’ve been eating up the drama each and every Sunday. Even more than that, however, the HBO show has Us itching to book our next big vacation. Travel to Thailand has already started picking up since the new […]

Gentleman, I’m going to hold your hand while I say this: If you have a full, long beard, you need to shampoo it to keep it soft, shiny, and healthy. Yep, your beard deserves the same (or better) treatment as the hair on your head. Bu this additional step doesn’t have to completely upend your […]

I’ve been in a serious fashion rut when it comes to transitional jackets. All of the options I own are. . . well, basic. My friends and I all have the same lightweight puffers, fleece-lined parkas and thin suede/leather jackets, and while none of these people have bad style, I want to look unique. Is […]
