Image: Iryna Veklich for Getty There isn’t much comfort in feeling cold, but right about now it’s inevitable and we’re willing to do just about anything to add some warmth and coziness into our routine. Switching up a signature scent to suit the mood of cold weather days and even colder nights is an easy way to do just that. Winter scents often connote woody notes like sandalwood, musk, amber and vanilla, all of which tend to have sexy and warm undertones – but that isn’t always the case. There are plenty of more approachable options that would work seamlessly in a corporate office environme ..read more

Image: Courtesy of Lounge Valentine’s Day can be fraught with anxiety. Let 2023 be the year we come together to take control of that narrative and make the day about empowerment, feeling sexy and loving ourselves, instead.  There’s no greater gift than self-love and acceptance and while the work to get there starts from within, a little self-gifting never hurts anyone.  This brings us to Lounge.  Lounge’s empowering motto of ‘Comfort Made Sexy’ couldn’t resonate any more strongly with us, not to mention with the dropping temperatures the idea of lounging in luxury products tha ..read more

I’m a pro at coming up with justifications for spending $150+ on an athleisure set. Mostly my thinking centers around needing to feel confident in what I’m wearing in order to have a good workout – and a good morning workout is critical for having a good rest of the day. There’s something about getting very physically challenging tasks done first thing in the morning that makes dealing with all the arrows thrown my way during the day easier. I also find I eat and sleep better when I have a good workout. While price and quality often go hand in hand, they don’t always. I’ve had many $120 leggin ..read more

Image: Goran Jakus Photography for Getty Now that 2023 is in full swing, let’s zoom out and prepare ourselves fashion-wise for the year ahead. To be savvy about our investments we chatted with Stitch Fix stylist Alicia Lloyd and asked her to highlight the top 10 trends being forecasted for this year.

Image: Oleg Breslavtsev for Getty It’s not easy to keep hair healthy in the cold, dry months, so we turned to two leading industry experts, stylist Jonn Rhamani and colorist Alexis Unno, both from Salon Yoshiko at Bergdorf Goodman, to get the scope on just how to (easily!) do it. It’s actually quite short and sweet. “Make sure you trim the ends to keep them looking healthy and shampoo less frequently in the winter versus in the warmer months to allow for the natural oils in your hair to nourish your strands,” says Rhamani. He also suggests using products with hydrating ingredients like ..read more

Image: Thomas Barwick for Getty Whether you’re in the market for a puffer, a mid length, a button down or whether your priority is a forever classic, we’ve got you covered with our look at standout winter coats. While coats can easily creep into the four digit price range, there’s really no need to spend more than $100 if you’re on a budget. In fact, we’ve found great options for less than $30. They may not be staples in your closet for years to come like a camel Max Mara, but they’ll more than hold their own this winter season. Click below to see what we’re talking about.

Working out is like brushing teeth for me. I don’t even think about it. I get up and just do it. But that doesn’t mean it’s always a glorious experience. Being pregnant and working with a toddler not yet in daycare while New York City winter is raging makes it, in fact, anything but glorious when my alarm rings at 4:30AM. What keeps me going through it all is the guaranteed high at the end. Come winter, however, having the proper footwear is imperative. It doesn’t matter if I’m going for an outdoor run or just walking to an indoor workout, keeping my feet comfortable, safe and protected f ..read more

Last year we spotlighted some of our favorite “mommy and me” classes over at Momtastic and we now have a few more not-to-be-missed options to add to the list. While some require semester commitments, others are drop-in, each of which have their own set of perks. Obviously, drop-ins are great for flexibility, but there is a camaraderie that develops in the ones that require commitments among the children, but also among the parents. Early childhood is such a unique time and it’s amazing for parents and caretakers to develop a community of support around them and many of these classes offer the ..read more
