The preppy fashion trend shows no signs of slowing down, though there’s one item in particular that seems to transcend this aesthetic: Sweater vests. These simple, cozy tops are an easy wardrobe addition that will add a little flair to a variety of outfits (and they’re seriously cute!). Even if you’re not a total fan […]

I’ll admit that while I tune into the NFL, it’s not to watch the actual football games. I actually just love watching and listening to sportscaster Erin Andrews. The 46-year-old television personality completely lights up my screen — it’s refreshing to see a woman excelling in a male-dominated arena, and frankly, she looks incredible! You’ve […]

It’s hard to believe that Khloe Kardashian‘s baby girl True is already six-and-a-half years old. Since her birth in 2018, the Good American founder has been extremely open and honest about her pregnancy experience, including complications (which led to her choosing a surrogate for her second child, Tatum) and how she was able to bounce back […]

If you’ve ever looked at a celebrity and thought, “Wow, I want their hair,” well, that’s how I’ve felt about Nicole Kidman since I first laid eyes on her gorgeous auburn strands. Although she’s previously swapped out her natural red for blonde, I’ve still admired how long, thick and healthy her hair always looks. Considering […]

You might think that the key to celebrities’ awe-inspiring red carpet glow has everything to do with the makeup they wear. While that’s certainly part of the equation, if you were to ask any makeup artist they’d say that it comes down to the skin prep. In fact, many pro makeup artists play chemists, mixing […]

There’s a major conundrum in the makeup industry: Countless brands are catering to younger generations, leaving women who are 45+ struggling to find complexion products that complement their skin. I’m here to tell you that I see you and hear you — and so does Laura Geller. The esteemed makeup artist sought to create makeup […]

In my vast collection of perfumes (I own over 200), you might expect to see a ton of designer names like YSL, Armani and Chanel. While I do have a few, I tend to stray away from designer fragrances, because frankly, there’s nothing wow-worthy about them. Fashion house fragrances, as I like to call them, […]

While I used to be a big skier, I much prefer the après ski culture now — especially the fashion. Think big chunky sweaters, maybe a snow bib, some chic boots and a puffer. Après ski parties are like a winter fashion show, and you can’t show up in just any old sweater. Nordstrom has […]

My favorite part of the holiday season — aside from getting together with family — is getting glammed up for all of the parties. I love amping up my makeup and picking the perfect purse to finish off my outfit. In my opinion, this is the time of year to go all out with your […]

There’s power in finding your signature scent. Once you discover a fragrance that truly speaks to you, it’s difficult to go anywhere before spritzing it on — just ask Christina Ricci. The actress rarely goes anywhere without a quick misting of Byredo Gypsy Water Eau de Parfum. Ricci recently told The Strategist that this woody floral perfume […]

Did you know that 50% of adult women will experience hair loss at some point in their life? The common (but not often talked about) phenomenon can be triggered by a variety of things — stress, pregnancy and even COVID-19. Alyssa Milano once got candid on X about her experience with hair loss after a […]

Why is everyone so afraid of aging? We spend so much time trying to prolong our youth by taking age-defying supplements, getting cosmetic procedures and slathering expensive skincare products all over our faces. Can’t we just age gracefully? I admire celebrities, like Demi Moore, who consider aging a precious gift. The actress, 62, delves into […]

As we head into the colder months, our hair becomes more susceptible to drying out, which can often lead to tangles, dullness and breakage. Big yikes! One way to ensure your strands stay shiny and healthy is by incorporating a bond-building product into your routine to help strengthen and protect your hair from the inside […]

In our book, Katie Holmes is the queen of flats. The actress is constantly inspiring us with her trendy (and comfortable) footwear, whether it’s menswear-inspired loafers, fisherman sandals or, most recently, Mary Jane flats. It’s no secret that Mary Janes have had a resurgence this year, and Holmes solidified the silhouette’s appeal, especially for the holiday season. Holmes […]

I could never imagine receiving skincare advice from a man. 99% of the time, I’m begging the guys I date to wash their face and wear sunscreen at the bare minimum. Katy Perry is living in a completely alternate universe from me, because she’s not only taking skincare advice from her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, she’s also […]

If you’re anything like me, you have your everyday skin and body care routine down to a science. Each morning and night, I go through the process of applying creams and serums — and you’ll never catch me missing a single step. As for my nail care routine, well. . . that’s pretty much nonexistent. […]

Bronzer is one of those makeup products that’s challenging to apply if you have fair skin. Trust me, I know from experience. There’s a very fine line between achieving a sun-kissed glow and looking like an Oompa Loompa. I’ve tested several bronzers that end up leaving behind an orange tint, which is especially noticeable on […]

If you’ve ever wondered how celebrities look so fresh and flawless on the red carpet, I have a little secret for you: It always comes down to the skin prep. It doesn’t matter what makeup they’re wearing — the key to an airbrushed look is solid skincare, and many makeup artists to the stars swear […]

If you’ve been sifting through your closet and realize you have nothing to wear to holiday parties, Nordstrom is here to save the day. The retailer doesn’t just have the season’s hottest styles — they went above and beyond to put together a trend report featuring this year’s holiday fashion trends to guide you to […]

The time has finally come: it’s officially Wicked release week. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m ridiculously excited for the movie. I’ve been eating up all of the behind-the-scenes teasers and interviews with the cast, but my favorite videos to watch are the makeup chair transformations. It often took hours for Cynthia Erivo and Ariana […]

When I’m short on time, one makeup step that goes to the wayside is eyeshadow. Trying to blend out the perfect smokey eye sometimes requires more than just a few minutes, and frankly, I rarely have any minutes to spare. Zooey Deschanel felt the same way until she discovered the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eyeshadow, […]
