Megan Fox and Hailey Bieber's Go-to JW Pei Bags Are $60 on Amazon

JW Pei is one of the buzziest accessory brands of the moment. The Los Angeles-based fashion label was founded in 2018 by husband and wife duo Yang Pei and Stephanie Li, and has taken off among celebrities and regular people alike in the years since. The designer brand is known for its trendy handbags at fair price points, one of which is its popular ruched Gabbi bag , worn by the likes of Lupita Nyong'o, Hailey Bieber , Megan Fox , and many more A-listers. But the alternative handbag styles are also worth coveting, several of which are available for super-fast shipping via Amazon Prime. It's no doubt that JW Pei excels at minimalist silhouettes that are consistently eye-catching. But beyond its standout designs, the label strongly emphasizes sustainability. While there's always room for improvement, the trend-inspired brand openly dedicates itself to avoiding animal byproducts, sticking to a vegan philosophy, and using eco-conscious materials. It crafts its faux leather i...

My Favorite Ray-Ban Sunglasses Are on Sale at Amazon

Trends come and go, but when you find the right statement accessory, it adds a little something extra to your look and makes you feel like yourself. I'm from Southern California, so sunglasses have always been a necessity, not just another addition to my outfit. It feels like every season, there's a new statement sunglass trend. One minute, big bug eye sunglasses are all the rage, the next people want tiny lenses - the list goes on. I've definitely spent a very long time in the sunglass section of a department store, trying on pair after pair and feeling a bit like Goldilocks. One is too big, one is too small, and I could never find any one that was just right. When I was a teenager, I was gifted a pair of Ray-Ban Aviator Classic Polarized Sunglasses ($171, originally $221), and no other style has ever compared. Sure, I've dabbled with a few sunglasses that are more of the moment, but at the end of the day, I consistently reach for my Aviators. These are the sung...

The UGG Classic Mini II Boots Have Officially Taken Over My Wardrobe

I remember my high school's UGG craze vividly. Back then, UGG boots were the ultimate fashion statement, often paired with Victoria's Secret fold-over yoga pants and extra-long T-shirts. At the time, I stayed away from the look, either because I was attempting to appear unfazed by such a massive trend or because my parents balked at the high price tag of the hot-ticket items. But flash to the present, and UGG boots have caught my eye once again. Just recently, I scooped up the UGG Classic Mini II Boots ($105-$160, originally $160) in the light-brown color called Chestnut, and now I understand the hype. Ahead, I break down everything you need to know about them before deciding if you want to add them to your virtual shopping cart.

This Cozy Amazon Set Is Viral on TikTok - and on Sale For $37

Sometimes when products skyrocket in popularity on social media, I steer clear of them. I try to resist the urge to buy into trends just because everyone else is doing so (with a few exceptions, like Kim Kardashian's Skims and JW Pei handbags ). This was precisely the scenario with the Amazon fashion favorite Tanming Sweater Set ($37, originally $43), which inundated my TikTok feed consistently in 2022. Given my work-from-home lifestyle and penchant for comfy loungewear that can transition into "real" clothing, it would have been completely rational for me to try it out last year. However, I held my ground and resisted until just recently. Now that the frenzy has subsided a bit, I felt validated in placing it in my shopping cart. And the thing is, I've come to the realization that I should have embraced it much earlier. Ahead, I dive into what I love about it and why you might need to scoop it up while it's discounted for Amazon's Big Spring Sale . Rela...

My Favorite Amazon Bodysuits Cost Less Than $20 Right Now

I spend a lot of my free time online shopping, and one of the more surprising places I've found cute clothing items is Amazon. Whether it's loungewear, workout sets , or even dresses , I've found tons of stylish winners. Browsing the site can often feel overwhelming because there are so many great options, but luckily, I did the hard work for you and stumbled across four bodysuits that I absolutely fell in love with. The best part? Two of them are only $20 and under for Amazon's Big Spring Sale , but act fast, because the sale only lasts through March 25. When I received my bodysuits in the mail, I immediately decided to order a few more, because the quality was so good I couldn't believe how affordable they were. All of these bodysuits have a snap closure, which makes them super easy to get in and out of, and they all run true to size. To keep the pieces in the best shape possible, I typically wash them on delicate with like colors and hang them to dry. They'...

Candice Huffine: "Size Does Not Equal Health, and Weight Does Not Equal Worth"

Image Source: Luvlette Born in Washington DC and raised in a Maryland suburb, Candice Huffine did a little bit of everything when she was growing up, from being captain of the cheerleading squad to taking her turn as a pageant queen. "It was 'typical' in a Hallmark movie kind of way, I guess," Huffine tells POPSUGAR. "These details are important to mention because they did influence my life path. I willingly put myself on a stage at every turn - and not always kind ones - to do the things I loved or to follow a dream I had." Huffine, 39, signed her first modeling contract in 2000. She was "determined" to be a model, despite the fashion industry being notoriously discriminatory toward plus-size people. Knowing the odds were stacked against her propelled Huffine even further toward realizing her dream. "When I received a contract as a plus-size model, it unlocked a new mission in me: to not pursue modeling just for myself, but to push har...

I Wore Olivia Rodrigo's Red Beret in Paris - Here's How

Image Source: Getty Images / Monica Schipper I often joke that one of my regrets in life is I wasn't a teenage girl when Olivia Rodrigo first burst onto the scene in 2021 with her debut single "Drivers License." The song became an anthem for a new generation of emotionally in-tune teen girls, and I was a little sad that I've definitely aged out of that particular group by a good decade and some change. While I'm no longer an angsty teenager IRL, I can certainly still channel that energy. That's exactly why, to this day, I belt out "Drivers License" and just about every Rodrigo song with zero shame. But it's not just her music that resonates with me - it's also her unique style, which often fuses '90s and 2000s trends with classic shapes and silhouettes. Much of Rodrigo's wardrobe is, admittedly, unattainable for a mere non-pop-star such as myself. Or, at least, that's what I thought, until I discovered Lidow Archive , a cruci...

Designer Peter Dundas on His 30-Year Fashion Career

"Dressing a woman is about making her feel her best for me. I always want to give confidence in my designs," said Peter Dundas . After an illustrious career of dressing some of the most famous women, shifting and influencing the aesthetic landscape, and leading numerous storied ateliers, it's safe to say Dundas has accomplished that brief. The name Peter Dundas is synonymous with luxury fashion. You may know the Norweigan-born designer (now LA-based) from his many iconic A-list red carpet moments, his many collabs, his cult celebrity following (see; Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian ), or his tenure at the helm of a myriad of the industry's top brands. Or you may know him from that surrealist, *or as Paris would say, "silving"* one-of-a-kind Swarovski crystal martini bag Paris Hilton wore at the 2022 Grammy Awards. It was a collaboration with Grey Goose, inspired by Dundas's drink of choice, a dirty vodka martini. "Paris, just being herself, was all th...

15 of Cardi B’s Best Street Style Moments, From Archival Catsuits to Plunging Gowns

If there's any woman in rap you can count on to deliver a noteworthy style moment, it's Cardi B. Only five years ago, the 31-year-old made her hip-hop debut with "Invasion of Privacy." Still, she has quickly dominated the industry, easily becoming one of today's most successful female rappers. The Grammy-winning album also featured the hit "Bodak Yellow," which revealed her affinity for Christian Louboutin heels, thereby setting the tone for her entrance into fashion. Since then, Cardi B has broken many barriers in the industry, including becoming the first female rapper to cover Vogue . Thanks to stylist Kollin Carter , Cardi B's imprint on fashion is second to none in her genre. Since their partnership started in 2017, the New York-born rapper has produced many groundbreaking looks, including the vintage Mugler crinoline sheath she wore for the 2019 Grammys , marking only the second time in 25 years that the prestigious fashion house opened its a...

This Quilted Coach Bag Brightened Up My Spring Wardrobe Overnight

As one of the fashion industry's most storied brands, Coach somehow always manages to reinvent itself and breathe new life into its iconic handbag silhouettes. The Coach Tabby Shoulder Bag 20 With Quilting ($395) is just the latest example of the label's commitment to innovation, and in true Coach fashion, it arrives just in time for spring in a bevy of fresh, seasonal colorways. Unlike past Coach Tabby iterations , this accessory plays into the season's buzzy texture trend with a plush quilted design. It pays homage to archival 1970s Coach designs (think folk-embroidery techniques and antique color tones like mustard and nickel), while upgraded accents like an adjustable leather chain strap and subtle hardware accents finish it off with a modern flair. I'm a Coach loyalist through and through, so I rarely need convincing when it comes to testing out (and inevitably buying) any new styles from the brand. Naturally, when Coach offered to send out a quilted Tabby for...
