They say that having a good suitcase can make or break the quality of a trip, but in my experience, having a comfortable travel outfit is just as important. Whether I'm jet-setting off to a new country or embarking on a long road trip, the one constant during all of my travels is that I want to be comfortable. My perfect travel look consists of a couple things: I want an ensemble that's warm but not too hot, breathable but not too light, and versatile enough that I can wear it straight off the plane and into a work meeting or fun activity the moment I land. Even as a seasoned traveler, findin ..read more

Each year, as the weather gets warmer, one of my favorite things to shop for is stylish swimwear that will make me look and feel confident. I would buy pieces that were considered the "it" style for the summer, but when the next year rolled around, I'd want a new look. I never really took the time to invest in basic swimwear staples that I could rely on for years to come - that is until Araks came into my life. What made me interested in trying out Araks's swimwear is the brand ethos; Araks is all about classic pieces you'll want to repeat again and again. "We design collections meant to work ..read more

When you think of an ergonomic or practical shoe, chic might not be the first word to come to mind. So when I was introduced to Kizik and its patented hands-free technology, I was surprised to discover how stylish the brand's slip-on shoes were. Many of Kizik's everyday styles look like any other sneaker (replete with shoelaces and various sleek designs), but their hands-free tech means you don't have to bend down to tie them or hold down the heel or tongue to get your feet into the shoe. Each style comes with a heel cup that's designed to compress and bounce back, so you can simply slip them ..read more

The last time I wore a midi skirt was probably the summer after I started middle school. You could've called me Lizzie McGuire then, because I was a shameless outfit repeater. I wore one teal tiered peasant skirt just about everywhere. Now that I can look back at my middle school days fondly (instead of cringing), I'll be the first to admit that despite my many fashion misses, that skirt was probably the best addition to my wardrobe at the time. So when I began seeing long, white breezy skirts everywhere last summer - and was reminded of the merits of owning pieces that are easy to throw on ..read more

One of my favorite things to do whenever I visit a new city is to simply walk around. As mundane as it may seem, I find that there are few ways better to immerse yourself in a destination than by taking it all in by foot. From marveling at architecture to wandering in and out of shops and grabbing a bite to eat at any hole-in-the-wall restaurants I spot along the way, walking through a city offers the most authentic glimpse of a place's culture, community, and overall vibe - minus the usual (and unbearably crowded) tourist spots. In my last few trips, I totaled 10 miles walking through Copenh ..read more

Shakira is living as her most authentic self - in life, fashion, and even music. While her latest era might not be a return to form, it is a raw, unguarded celebration of who she's always been - as evidenced by her new album. The Colombian singer might be known for her upbeat dance ballads, but in her latest release (and first new album in seven years), Shakira seems less interested about injecting "life" into the songs, and rather, more inspired to make sense of it - with the help of her signature lyricism and staple, thunderous vocals. Unlike past records, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" (which ..read more

You've probably already caught "The Kardashians" clip of Scott Disick recognizing Kim Kardashian's Skims nipple bra on Khloé and immediately inquiring, "Do you have the new nipple bra on?" "Of course," Khloé replies. "These are Kim's nipples on my body." Naturally, I adopted that very same phrase when I headed out the door with my partner for brunch wearing the one and only Skims Ultimate Nipple Push-Up Bra ($64) in Clay. "These are Kim Kardashian's nipples on my body!" I shouted with glee as I stood on the sidewalk requesting a Lyft. I should preface the rest of this review by explaining tha ..read more

Navigating Gap's vast online dress selection can feel overwhelming at first. As someone who delves into the store's new arrivals daily (it's my job!)

It may come as no surprise that Reformation's revamped swimwear comes with new and improved materials. The line, which retails from $68 to $168 in sizes XS-XL, is made from a renewable and bio-based fiber called EVO by Fulgar. And, according to Reformation's chief innovation officer Alison Melville, the product will only grow more sustainable with each seasonal drop (check out drop three here!). The first range incorporated deadstock fabric from the brand's debut swimwear collection in 2019, and Reformation promises to "continue innovating and trying out new materials until we create the most ..read more
