Is anyone else like me and assumes celebrities exclusively wear luxury makeup and skincare products? It’s easy to think so, but I can’t help but feel giddy when I learn stars also have plenty of affordable favorites available at retailers like Amazon. Celebrities really are just like us! Bella Hadid revealed her five favorite beauty items […]

Gossip Girl may have ended over a decade ago, but there’s no denying the hold it continues to have on pop culture and society. “Welcome to the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite” still rings in my head daily, so it comes as no surprise to me that as preppy fashions make a comeback, I can’t […]

Just like your wardrobe, you should be swapping out the perfumes you wear with the seasons. Hear me out: light and airy fragrances pair well for the warmer spring and summer months, while richer, deeper perfumes mesh with the colder, moodier vibes of fall and winter. If you just realized you don’t own a decadent […]

It seems like everyone is after plump, juicy lips these days — myself included. However, you won’t catch me running to my dermatologist’s office to get lip injections. As someone who’s needle-averse, and frankly, doesn’t have the means to drop a couple hundred dollars for lip injections, I’ve been seeking out glossy alternatives that will […]

As a singer, entrepreneur and mom of four, Jessie James Decker is the real life version of superwoman. How does she manage to do it all? Well, she tells Us that having a catch-all bag full of essentials sure helps. On her busiest days, she makes sure to keep the following eight items in her bag to […]

Dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma. What do these skin concerns have in common? They’re all types of discoloration affecting a large portion of the population. While discoloration isn’t something to be ashamed of, we understand that it can be annoying (and sometimes expensive) to deal with. Instead of shelling out hundreds of dollars on fancy […]

Jeans may have a reputation for being tight and uncomfortable (I’m looking at you, skinny jeans), but the latest denim trends are finally catching up with our desire to stay comfy-cozy. The fall of skin-tight styles made way for mom jeans, and the roomier mom jeans walked so barrel jeans could finally run. What the […]

I’m really proud of my physique. I work out six days a week and have been seeing some serious results (consistency is key). At the same time, it has been difficult to lose that stubborn fat and cellulite along my lower stomach. I may have found a solution, however, with the launch of SickScience’s DropOff […]

Women’s suits have gone through quite a transformation over the past few decades. The power suit first gained popularity in the 1980s, when tailored blazers and structured skirts signaled that someone meant business. Fast forward 40+ years and suits are still as popular as ever — although, in general, they’re much more relaxed. These days, […]

There may be a new go-to shoe trend every fall, but without fail, the chunky loafer tends to return to the limelight. Celebrities can’t get enough of this versatile footwear choice — stars like Dakota Johnson, Dua Lipa, Hailey Bieber, Jenna Ortega and more have all been spotted around town wearing chunky loafers and it’s easy […]

If I’m being honest, this time of year is typically the worst for sweater shopping. Since stores know you’re itching to restock your collection, it’s rare to find a good sale — unless, of course, you know where to go. For instance, Macy’s consistently offers some of the best quality sweaters at discounted prices (yes, […]

Raise your hand if your favorite holiday is Halloween. I see you! I eagerly await the time of year when I can finally break out my witchy home decor and fashion accessories. For 2024, Coach has also embraced the spooky vibes, releasing boo-tiful purse styles that encapsulate the trickster energy of the holiday. Check out […]

It has come to my attention that some people think that sweatshirts can be cozy or stylish but never both. I challenge that notion! There are plenty of fashionable sweatshirts that are both functional and fabulous, making them work for more than just running errands or lounging around the house. After perusing Amazon, I found […]

Butter yellow is proving to be a fashion trend with longevity. Some people (myself included) thought that the hue’s popularity would be short-lived, especially since the color tends to evoke summer vibes. However, this past weekend, Gigi Hadid proved the soft shade isn’t going anywhere — and that it’s actually ideal for fall — after she […]

If you’re trying to incorporate some new colors into your wardrobe this fall, you absolutely can’t pass over red. The rich hue is trending this autumn, and it’s the perfect way to add a pop to your closet. Red has range — you can opt for a fire engine red coat, a crimson sweater or […]

After hanging around on the Upper East Side for nine years, I have the wealthy fashions down to a tee. In fact, I can spot Manhattan’s elite from blocks away, all because of what they’re wearing. The following styles will help you emulate their aesthetic — but for a whole lot less. Find your rich […]

Not to toot my own horn, but I have one of the best footwear collections. And 99% of my shoes come from the Macy’s sale rack. The department store is always running sneaky deals on thousands of styles, and there’s no shortage of options for fall. Find our favorite picks for the season. We won’t […]

I’m not one of those girls that has an aesthetically pleasing fall wardrobe. As soon as the temperatures dip below 60 degrees, my uniform consists of ultra comfy lounge sets, and you won’t see me in anything else until the springtime. Although I have an abundance of sets, I believe you can never have enough […]

If you thought the western trend was dying down, you’ve been mistaken. Bella Hadid has wholeheartedly embraced the cowboy fashions — and was even seen riding a horse around NYC. The model’s take on the trend of course includes cowboy boots, which happen to be the easiest (and most foolproof) way to enter into your western era. […]

When you think of leather, a black leather jacket probably comes to mind. While black leather is one of the most popular (and timeless) styles out there, you shouldn’t be pigeonholing the fabric to just one hue. There are so many incredible leather clothing items that aren’t black. In fact, some of the most popular […]

While I think that celebrities need to cool it with launching new makeup and skincare brands, I’ll always get behind a celebrity fragrance brand. There’s something about a celeb perfume that just makes sense. Bella Hadid recently stepped into the space with the launch of Orebella, and has already etched her own niche in the world of […]
