Gen Z can feel impossible to shop for, but I promise they’re not! You really can’t go wrong with flamboyant decor, tech-savvy saviors or anything that’s gone viral on TikTok. Instead of spending hours scrolling through the app to get inspiration, I compiled a list of 15 gifts that any Gen Zer in your life […]

It may come as a surprise, but many book lovers don’t want to receive books as gifts. While you think you know your loved ones, you may not have the best of idea of which genre and authors they enjoy reading.  Plus, you don’t want to run the risk of getting them a book or […]

If you thought Barbie-mania was over, you’ve been mistaken. After taking a break from the Barbie media tour due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, Margot Robbie is back on the road promoting the blockbuster. The actress has naturally been sticking with an iconic pink theme for all appearances, although her latest outfit may be our favorite yet […]

It’s a common fact that you can’t eat sushi while pregnant, but did you also know there are some skincare and makeup ingredients you should avoid too? Retinols, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and chemical sunscreens are all deemed unsafe for pregnant women. Kourtney Kardashian knows about the dos and don’ts all too well, and during her […]

Homebodies are the easiest people to shop for. Think about it: They all enjoy plush, cozy items that are super comfortable and things that make their home feel, well, more homey. As I get older I find myself choosing to stay in more and more, so I consider myself an expert homebody — and I […]

The temperatures have dropped below 30 degrees, and that means it’s officially winter. Don’t be sad, though. There are plenty of great things about this time of year — hot cocoa, holiday lights and, most importantly, cold weather fashion. Year after year, we find ourselves turning to the stars for winter fashion inspo. And even […]

Cyber Monday is officially over…just kidding! Many retailers have decided to extend their unbeatable sales through the week, and you’d best believe I’m going to shop until I drop (and you should, too)! There are still a ton of heavily discounted items across Walmart, Amazon and Nordstrom, and I found the best of the best […]

The holidays are approaching, and while I usually struggle with finding the perfect gifts for my friends and loved ones, I know exactly what to get them this year: Comfy (and practical) clothing sets. After a hectic 2023, everyone in my life just wants one thing — to relax. And there’s no better way to […]

Every winter, I’m faced with the same dilemma: Do I brave the cold in my fashionable, not-so-warm skirt ensemble or go full cozy mode and forget that trends even exist? In the eight years I’ve lived in New York, I’ve opted for the former. Yet, as I sit here watching the first snow flurries fall […]

While Cyber Monday is a great time to purchase big ticket items like TVs and other electronics on sale, I prefer to buy the cute and kitschy things which are perfect for white elephant gift exchanges. I’m talking funny mugs, ridiculous gag gifts and surprisingly useful commodities which people would never buy for themselves (like […]

I hope you’re not shopped-out from Black Friday, because Cyber Monday is here and the deals are even better than we could have imagined — especially at Violet Grey. The luxury beauty retailer has discounted some of the most sought-after products from top brands, including La Mer, Augustinus Bader and Dyson. (I know, we can […]

While I love all of the discounts Amazon and Nordstrom offer for Black Friday, I look forward to Anthropologie’s Black Friday deals the most.  This year, Anthropologie decided to drop their much-anticipated sale a few days early (lucky Us!). The price on almost everything is cut by 30%, and we scoured the entire site to […]

Shopping for others takes strategy: If you struggle with finding gifts for people, Black Friday is the optimal time to shop. As long as you have an idea of what your recipient might like, you can let the deals guide your decisions. This year, there are thousands of discounts on a range of items from […]

Black Friday arrived early this year at Nordstrom! Our favorite department store has unveiled thousands of incredible deals, and the fashion discounts are top-notch (better than last year, if you can believe it!). It can be overwhelming sifting through all of the epic discounts, so we did the hard work for you to find the […]

I have dreams of becoming a rich stay-at-home mom. Along with having all the time in the world for myself (and my kids, of course), I just imagine all of the cozy, posh outfits I’ll traipse around the house and the city in. While I’m many years away from that lifestyle becoming a reality, I […]

If you struggle with thinning hair, you’re not alone. According to the United Care Clinic, hair loss is extremely common in the US — with 50% of men and 28% of women experiencing thinning and pattern baldness by age 50. There’s no way to fully prevent hair from falling out, but there are plenty of […]

Black Friday came early this year — lucky Us! The advanced fashion deals at Amazon and Nordstrom have us running to grab our credit cards before coveted pieces (namely, those that scream quiet luxury) sell out — because they will sell out. If you’ve been eager to build out a classic wardrobe which rivals the closets […]

Choosing what to wear for Thanksgiving is difficult, but I’m going to make a bold statement and say selecting an outfit for Friendsgiving is even harder. At Thanksgiving festivities with my family, my main concern is feeling comfortable. Meanwhile, for Friendsgiving celebrations, I want to be cozy and chic for my ladies (and all of the […]
