Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, I never wanted to shop at Walmart, especially not for fashion. So it’s funny that it took me moving away and not having a Walmart anywhere nearby to start shopping for clothes there — and regularly. My full summer wardrobe is from the the retailer, and I think everyone’s should […]

Some celebrities wear the same perfume all year round — but not Jessica Chastain! As soon as June rolls around, she swaps out her entire fragrance wardrobe for Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt. Chastain waxed poetic to Vogue about her love for perfume, explaining how she wears a different scent for every character […]

I hate to admit it, but I spend hours aimlessly scrolling through Reformation looking at all the gorgeous dresses. I never end up buying anything, though — I just can’t bring myself to spend over $200 on a sundress. Luckily, Amazon carries a ton of styles similar to the ones on Reformation, and for a […]

Taylor Swift just proved lipstick isn’t the secret behind her signature red lip. While watching Taylor Swift’s End of an Era docuseries, I caught the songstress applying the Smashbox Be Legendary Line & Prime Lip Pencil in True Red. It was obvious to tell it’s one of her tried-and-true makeup products because the pencil was […]

Swimwear trends are always extremely nuanced. It’s rare for silhouettes to change from year to year, but small changes — like contrasting trim, unique embellishments and loud patterns — separate each season’s top styles. This year, the hottest swimsuits are playful by design. We’re seeing plenty of patterns, including gingham and polka dots, that spark […]

As a beauty writer, people often ask me about my skincare routine. However, since I started using this new K-beauty cream two months ago, people have been asking me about the foundation I wear. You see, my skin is so clear, radiant and glass-like that others think I’m wearing makeup. It’s the ultimate flex when […]

Shorts have a reputation for being an uncomfortable summer wardrobe staple — but they don’t have to be. There’s no need to struggle with tight silhouettes that ride up when tons of loose, elegant and stretchy styles exist. The best shorts include ruched side panels or drawstring waists and are often made from soft, breezy […]

Even though some sunscreens are made just for kids, you don’t need to buy separate SPF formulas to adequately protect your family from the sun. Olivia Munn hasn’t since she discovered this $9 sunscreen stick that her kids love using just as much as she does. Munn recently chatted with The Strategist about her favorite […]

Strappy sandals are a summer staple, but the hottest styles this year have a fun nautical twist: a bit of rope. Rope sandals, which feature either thick or dainty braided straps, give any outfit a seaside vibe. Not only is rope less likely to dig in, rub or lead to blisters, it also keeps your […]

In my eyes, pants are strictly a winter style necessity. As for summer? Well, this time of year is meant for skirts. Skirts will always be a part of my warm-weather wardrobe, and this year they are the it-girl fashion item. There are four specific skirt styles defining summer: drop-waist silhouettes, textured picks, ruffles and […]

When I think of timeless fashion brands that beautifully blend elevated silhouettes with modern edges, Anine Bing comes to mind. If I had limitless funds, my entire wardrobe would consist of the designer’s effortless pieces. Luckily, using my fashion sleuthing senses, I managed to find a variety of Anine Bing-inspired styles on Amazon that don’t […]

After spending the most blissful first week of summer in Cape Cod, one thing’s for sure: Sundresses are part of the summer uniform here. However, the go-to styles are much different from what city influencers swear by. Cape Cod locals prefer breezy linen or cotton options with romantic necklines and pretty seaside patterns. Hill House […]

At 5’3”, I used to hate being short — until I learned to dress myself. I always tried to wear dresses made for taller frames, which made me look frumpy and disproportionate. Once I discovered the styles that flattered my figure, I felt more confident and even appeared much taller than I actually am. In fact, […]

They’re small enough to throw in your purse or carry-on! Beyond the easy […]

The sweatiest season is well underway, and sometimes perfume isn’t enough to mask (or eradicate) your stench. Teyana Taylor knows this, which is why, along with always carrying perfume, she keeps one luxe deodorant in her purse “at all times.” The actress sat down with GQ to share the 10 things she can’t live without, […]

You don’t have to deal with the negative effects of Java to get a boost — it might be time to make the switch to mushroom coffee. Specifically, the Everyday Dose Coffee+. Everyday Dose’s Coffee+ isn’t just mushroom powder. There’s […]

But to wake up completely glowing and refreshed, your skin needs a little assistance. That’s where Augustinus Bader’s new night cream comes in. The celebrity-loved brand (Kris Jenner and Margot Robbie regularly use it!) […]

Between the beach, salt water, chlorine pools, consistent shaving and the sun, summer can do a number on our skin. You can avoid rough patches with a smooth, ultra-nourishing body lotion, like Adamia Therapeutic Repair Lotion. In the summer, I want my body routine to be as simple as possible, and Adamia’s Therapeutic Repair Lotion […]

I may be 5’3”, but I’ve been told I emit tall girl energy. That’s probably because I know what footwear effortlessly elongates my legs. If you want to look a bit taller this summer, neutral sandals are a key wardrobe element. I put together a few of my favorites from Steve Madden, Sam Edelman, Vionic […]

Khloé Kardashian prioritizes her health every single day.

In a recent Instagram video, Kardashian gave fans a special peek into her health routine. “I take […]

I’ve been to Paris almost a dozen times, and I consistently return because of the fashion. Sure, the city is beautiful and has a lot of history, but I also get so much style inspiration from locals as they walk down the street. It doesn’t matter the season — Parisians know how to dress! However, […]
