Fashion Impulse Mania

Tiny handbags, be damned - this season is all about bold totes that are big enough to carry your entire life in. And as someone whose closet is chock-full of clutches, crossbody bags, and a number of other compact purse styles, I have very mixed feelings about the trend. But if there was ever a handbag that might sway my loyalties, I knew it would be the Cuyana Easy Tote ($268) - a standout piece from the luxury, ethical brand behind some of today's most polished fashion essentials. In all truth: I've had my eye on Cuyana's chic tote offerings for a while now (thank Meghan Markle for that!). So naturally, when I heard that Cuyana was planning to do a major makeover on its handbag and tote stock, my interest was immediately piqued. After all, this was the same brand beloved and religiously worn by celebrities like Jessica Alba and Angelina Jolie . Any collection revamp would have to rival some of the designer's cult-favorite styles like the (now defunct) Classic S...

When it comes to shopping for that "perfect" swimsuit, it can seem like a daunting challenge to browse every brand and site across the internet. But thankfully, we've done the hard work for you and have rounded up a few of our favorites ahead. Firstly, you'll want to think about your personal swimsuit requirements. While you want something that's flattering, stylish, and comfortable (we love a one-piece for this reason), you also want one that will make you feel your very best. Most of the time, that comes down to fit, and not all suits are made the same. To help you find a style that you'll be excited topack for your next vacation, or any time you find yourself relaxing by the water, we enlisted Kalani Miller, swimwear expert and cofounder of Mikoh , for expert recommendations on the year's biggest swimwear trends, along with what shoppers should consider when scoping out the best swimsuit for their body type. What to Consider When Shopping Out the Bes...

Image Source: PS Photography / Marisa Petrarca I've never had the pleasure of living somewhere warm, so I've subsequently mastered the art of staying cozy. My go-to for braving Midwest winters is the Aritzia Super Puff , which I almost always pair with my Bombas wool calf socks , and trusty Timberland boots. While I previously thought I had the whole equation figured out, I recently got wind of a genius innovation I wish I had known about sooner: fleece-lined leggings. Intrigued, I did some research and scooped up the bestselling Baleaf Women's Fleece Lined Leggings ($29, originally $38) to test their effectiveness against the brutal Minnesota cold. Turns out, they're exactly what I needed to transform my winter wardrobe, and they're currently discounted. Ahead, I break down everything you need to know about these fleece-lined leggings from Amazon. What I Love About the Baleaf Fleece-Lined Leggings What I love about these fleece-lined leggings is that they...

Before my recent trip to Iceland, I had to complete one very important task: find a warm jacket comfortable enough for braving the country's often-freezing temperatures. I knew I'd be spending a decent amount of time outdoors in the thick of Reykavik's otherworldly (and notoriously unpredictable) climate, which meant that I'd require an all-weather coat that could handle the unexpected: heavy water exposure underneath waterfalls, wind spells along the country's black sand beaches, and even late-night temperature drops while chasing the Northern Lights. After searching through countless reviews online and sourcing recommendations from friends, I landed (unsurprisingly) on Orolay as the coat brand to entrust with my purchase. The label is known for creating some of the warmest and most durable outerwear on the market, with its famous Thickened Down Jacket amassing over 28,000 ratings on Amazon alone. I decided to try out that style's longer counterpart, the O...

When it comes to comfortable pants, you shouldn't have to sacrifice comfort for style. We're making it a goal to invest less in jeans and more in pants and trousers (chic sweatpants also work!) that are not only bearable to wear all day long but also look good. Although we love the look of a cool suit, putting an outfit together can feel overwhelming at times. For those not quite sure where to start, we'd recommend any of these 11 pairs. Thankfully, a lot of our favorite selections are also marked down - leading you to affordable must haves that will become mainstays and wardrobe essentials in your closet. Whether you're looking for something you can rock around the house, an option to wear on date night, or even comfortable pants to update your favorite work outfit, we've got you covered on all fronts. The best part: prices start at $30, so you can get something in your budget, too. We're especially loving all the wide-leg trousers, some lightweight style...

If you are a Taylor Swift fan , or have a friend who's a Swiftie (who doesn't?), then you've probably heard she's been spotted on many outings with boyfriend Travis Kelce. So, it might not come as a surprise that her style has taken a romantic turn for date nights and Chiefs games alike. Swift appears to have a newfound affinity for corsetry, sporting both the Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Classic Silk Corset ($35, originally $100) and Fleur du Mal Long Sleeve Flared Corset Dress ($475) in recent history. As someone who's always been intrigued by her aesthetic - skater skirts and leggy co-ords seem to transcend time in Swift's wardrobe - I decided to try out both pieces by constructing inspired street style looks for New York Fashion Week. My goal was to deliver an honest review of her go-to pieces so I reported thoroughly on the features, comfortability, and versatility of both corset designs ahead. Read on to see how I employed Swift's most recogniz...

Fashion Week introduces trends for the season to come, but it also keeps us firmly rooted in the current moment through street style. What people wear while skipping from one show to the next is often just as inspiring as anything you'll see walking down the runway - if not more so. New York Fashion Week is back to its roots with a packed schedule of in-person shows and events, running over the course of five days. It brings together style enthusiasts from across the world, all looking toward the coming season. This year, they stepped out in bold sartorial statements, from charmcore jewelry and accessories to corpcore suiting that turned heads. Other noteworthy street style trends included tenniscore skirts , coordinating sets, and dopamine dressing . On the footwear front, show goers continued to favor platforms and also took a tip from the runways by opting for stylish and comfortable walking shoes . But kitten heels, sneakers, and ballet flats remained a go-to for those l...

If you're a fan of Netflix's " Love Is Blind ," then you may be curious about the engagement rings , which are either chosen on set or brought in (Kyle Abrams presented his mom's ring to Shaina Hurley during season two, for example). Knowing that on " The Bachelor " and " The Bachelorette ," the jewelry is entirely provided by Neil Lane , you have to wonder how much shopping the men on "LIB" could possibly be getting done outside of the pods while they're holed up from the outside world. What's more, if you're looking closely, you may notice similarities in some of the women's engagement rings. In fact, in season one, it appeared Lauren Speed, Jessica Batten, and Amber Pike wore identical rings following their proposals. According to "LIB" production company, Kinetic Content , all the men are presented with dozens of rings to choose from (Netflix said that in seasons four and five, they were all courtesy ...

When we shop, convenience is key, and that's why Amazon tends to be our go-to. Those stylish flats you've been eyeing for weeks? They can be yours in just a few clicks, without having to drive to the mall or wait in any lines. Whether you're already familiar with Amazon's array of designer footwear or are exploring it for the first time, the selection is brimming with chic styles. What adds an extra layer of confidence to online shopping is Amazon's hassle-free return policy - there's basically no risk involved. As long as you haven't worn your shoes beyond a quick try-on, a full refund is just a return away. But that's not the only aspect we adore about shopping for shoes on Amazon. Brands are usually really good at providing ultra-specific sizing details, a convenient touch that's often lacking in traditional brick-and-mortar stores. All of this is to say that you're in good hands shopping for footwear of all kinds from Amazon's digital ...

While some call it superstition, the color of your underwear on Valentine's Day can at least usher in the type of romantic luck you hope to cultivate in the year ahead. Renowned fashion psychologist Dr. Dawnn Karen , Professor at FIT, conducted a study on the power of red , surveying 115 people who were viewed differently based on their backgrounds and where on their body (or in their outfit) they wore the shade. While Dr. Karen didn't incorporate underwear specifically, she found the effect of red to be astounding, significantly impacting how passersby interpret someone's levels of promiscuity and attractiveness. When asked about applying her findings to popular Valentine's Day lingerie colors - including red, pink, black, and white - Dr. Karen calls it a twofold street. "Wearing your underwear as an individual can have the same effects generating self-love as it can generating outwards love towards another," she says. Since choosing your bra, briefs,...

While I've collected lingerie through the years and have my bra-and-panty sets color-coded in a drawer, truth be told, I don't wear them often. I like to save them for special occasions (like vacations or weekends away) or moments I simply want to feel sexy. When it comes to bedtime, I'm much more of an oversize T-shirt and boy shorts kind of girl. That being said, I'm definitely picky about the comfort level of lingerie. It's not easy to feel hot when there's underwire digging into my rib cage or a gusset so thin I have to keep adjusting it to ensure full coverage down there. When I scrolled past this fiery video of Rihanna rocking her new Savage X Fenty Loveline collection, my first impression was that it seemed secure and she looked notably confident. The look - down to the heart-shaped nipple pasties - was holiday-festive without being gimmicky. It had been a minute since I tried anything from Savage X Fenty, so I decided to put the Loveline pieces to t...

In all the hype leading up to the 2025 Super Bowl, who could have predicted that the biggest winner of last night's game would be... Kendrick Lamar's jeans? That's right: fresh off the heels of his five Grammy wins at the 67th Grammy Awards, Lamar took the stage for Apple's Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday, Feb. 9, with a headlining performance that included hit songs from the rapper's expansive catalog - including everything from "Humble" to "All the Stars" featuring SZA and yes, even his infamous Drake diss track, "Not Like Us" (currently on repeat today). While the musician's Halftime performance was legendary in its own right (we're still not over that Serena Williams cameo!), Lamar's outfit choice for the spectacle proved to inspire just as much discourse online - specifically his oversize flare jeans. The washed denim pants - which I was able to identify as a now sold-out $1,300 Celine style - weren't quite ...

Meghan Markle already has a reputation for incorporating thoughtful design flourishes into her wardrobe; over the years, she's subtly channeled Princess Diana's infamous style , frequently worn pieces from woman-owned brands like Cuyana and Birdies, and even been spotted wearing an eternity ring encrusted with Markle's own birthstone, along with those of her husband, Prince Harry, and their firstborn child, Archie. Now, in her latest Instagram post , the former royal gave fans a glimpse of yet another style that cleverly pays homage to her family - and keeps her kiddos feeling close. ICYMI: Markle took to Instagram earlier in the week to share a video in which she spoke about her ongoing efforts to support the victims of the Altadena wildfire in Los Angeles , as well as thanked Billie Eilish for helping her surprise a 15-year-old fan whose home had been destroyed by the Eaton Fire.
