If you’re in any way drawn to the inherent beauty of diamonds, you’re well aware that the sparkling gemstone is a jewelry-box staple that won’t soon go out of style. Possibly the most charming gift that can be passed down for generations, a simple diamond necklace has stunning quality that is not to be underestimated. Whether it’s set in gold or silver, adorned with a simple few or a multitude of stones, a diamond necklace makes for a simple piece of jewelry that every woman needs.
If you’re looking to build a jewelry collection you’ll be proud of in 10 years or in search of a gift that will surely delight, you can’t go wrong with any one of these necklaces that have been handpicked for their elevated design. From dainty pieces that are begging to be layered to pendants that deserve to be worn all on their own, there’s a necklace design to suit every taste. Choose a design that stands the test of time because, after all, diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
Go on to shop (or just obsess over) these 20 simple diamond necklaces that have an undeniably timeless design.
We’re about to reach that point in the season where we get stuck in this weird place of feeling like we have nothing to wear. Maybe it’s because we’ve used up all our creative outfit ideas, or maybe we are just sick of all our winter clothes but don’t really want to buy anything new. After all, spring is coming (eventually), and we all have our sights on the light, bright, and most importantly not-remotely-wintery pieces in all the new arrivals sections of all our favorite sites. Spending anything additional on a coat or boots just feels redundant.
So what’s one to do? Well, as I pointed out last week, one solution is to look to what your favorite celebrities are wearing and essentially copy their outfits. Since then, however, I also remembered that street style is abundant with inspiration. Most recently, Milan men’s and Paris couture fashion weeks brought with them a trove of enviable looks and ideas just waiting to be emulated. Below I highlighted six easy style tips to help you dress cooler throughout the rest of winter without having to buy anything new. Of course, if you’re still in the market for anything—no judgement—we’ve included a little shopping to help you get the looks, too.
Up next? See and shop the trend I’m dubbing the naked shoe of 2019.
Of course, we don’t really know what the Duchess of Cambridge would buy at Sephora. Unfortunately, that kind of intel is shrouded in deep, deep mystery. And unlike her sister-in-law Meghan Markle who lived in the public, often-interviewed Hollywood eye for years before marrying into the royal family, we have much less to go on when it comes to guessing Middleton’s favorite lipstick, blush, and mascara. That said, we do have an uncanny eye for product identification and an equally strong hunch that Middleton is a bit of an undercover beauty junkie. (She did her own wedding maquillage after all!) Oh, and we also know she has a thing for Bobbi Brown product picks. (It was confirmed that the 2011 wedding party received “makeup artistry assistance” from the brand’s makeup artist Hannah Martin.)
Even though Middleton never strays too far from her signature beauty look—think radiantly bronzed cheekbones, fluttery black lashes, and gloriously lush brunette strands—we always love to play detective (at least internally) regarding the exact products she’s wearing, or what products we think she’d love based on her trademark beauty aesthetic. So, we thought it’d be fun to round up six favorite beauty looks from the Duchess and attribute each to one Sephora-found beauty product coming in at $50 and under. Curious to see what we think we’d find in Middleton’s little black shopping bag? Keep scrolling for our personal royal-inspired verdict.
Warning: The following will cause a mini shopping spree. We’re all about sharing our favorite fashion finds, whether it’s the $10 earrings that look triple the price, the sneaky shopping section on Zara, or today’s topic highlighting the newest wave of footwear brands currently on our radar. Ranging from brands that debuted less than a year ago to a celebrity-favored line that recently announced its expansion into the footwear category, we’re equally excited and eager to add pieces from each selection of new shoe brands.
The easiest way to get to know a brand is by hopping on its IG page, so below, we’re sharing a few of our favorite photos from five accounts so you can get a sense of why we think everyone should know about these shoe brands. We’ve included a mix of styles so that there’s a new brand for everyone to discover. For example, if your focus is stocking up on statement heels, scroll to Amina Muaddi and meet her lovely designs, or if you’re looking for something to fit your minimalistic personal style, meet Neous, a brand with the freshest simple yet detailed designs. Those are just two of the handful we suggest getting to know this year. Meet the next wave of It shoe brands below.
It may be hard to believe, but even our style icons have style icons. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that the women we look up to also had someone they looked up to for everything from style to career and more. But they of course did, and today we’re focusing on bringing you a list of who some of the most interesting people in fashion look to for style inspiration.
This insider information came to us by way of Create & Cultivate, an organization dedicated to leading women in business. In partnership with Chevrolet, Create & Cultivate launched its third annual Create & Cultivate 100 List, highlighting “100 women across 10 categories who are making moves and re-defining the future of the workplace and the world,” the organization shared with us. The women featured below were previously interviewed for the C&C 100 website and today, we’re here to dig deeper into their responses to the question “Whose style do you love?”
Ahead, get ready to hear from some of the most well-respected women in this industry, including Olivia Palermo, ShionaTurini, and more on the women they look to for style inspiration.

Classic chicken and black bean enchiladas for those busy weeknights! Easy to assemble with a quick homemade enchilada sauce!
Ben texted one night, asking what we had for dinner when he got home from work. I joked and replied, “Butters’ famous chicken enchiladas”.
He quickly got home from work and sat down at the kitchen counter, ready to judge just how good these “famous enchiladas” actually were.
He took one bite and grew silent. Then kept eating. After about 5 minutes of silence, he put his fork down and said, “Babe, that is the best thing you have ever made.”
I looked at him and said, “Really? More so than the creamy red pepper shells?”
He said, “Yes, 10000x times yet.”
Now do I tell him that this is just one of my weeknight quick fixer-uppers or do I just keep that to myself?
I think I’ll keep it to myself. But even as a quick weeknight meal, these really may just be the best enchiladas ever! Using leftover rotisserie chicken and a quick, homemade enchilada sauce, it legit does not get any better (or quicker).
Plus, the leftovers taste even better the very next day.
