Month: February 2019

While under-$100 finds still require some thoughtful consideration before purchasing, and an under-$50 item is great but also not entirely guilt-free, an under-$30 pair of earrings is one of those things I would buy with my eyes closed, as long as someone I trusted told me they were cool. After all, it’s not often you can find affordable jewelry that doesn’t look cheap, and with accessory trends constantly changing, it’s nice to stay on the safe side and stick to lower-priced pieces when you can.

Speaking of trends, you’ll soon notice that at the moment, gold hoops, pearls, and crystal statement earrings are all the rage, and thus make up a big portion of the below. But if none of those are quite your thing, not to worry because I’ve got plenty of other options, too. So with that, just keep scrolling to shop the best under-$30 earrings on the internet right now, and be sure to spread the love and share these finds with your friends.

Up next? The 20 best things I actually wore this month.

No matter how you identify your style—ecclectic, minimal, trend-forward—there’s no doubt denim is an important part of your wardrobe. Since there is truly no limit to the ways in which one can style this closet staple, sometimes, we find ourselves stuck in a denim styling rut, wearing the same outfit over and over again. If you find yourself in this predicament as often as I do, then it’s time we call in for backup. 

When looking for simple yet effective outfit inspiration, we turn to the French. Their style is always clean and always approachable—two traits that go perfectly with denim. Ahead, take a look at the French-girl denim outfits we are trying to cop before the end of this year. From ultra-cool ensembles to simple yet striking ones, the selection ahead is sure to get your denim wheels turning. 

Next up, find out what happened when we tried on all the craziest trends at Zara.

As we’ve discussed in the past, the British royal family’s strict set of unspoken fashion “rules” undoubtedly has a way of hindering their personal style preferences. (Although, Meghan Markle has been making an attempt to subtly break some of them.) For that reason, it’s somewhat tricky for them to try the latest trends or experiment with a new look, both of which are things that I enjoy doing. You could say that the typical royal family wardrobe is dated, but I find it to be more conservative and classic than dated. 

I wouldn’t call my style particularly conservative, and much of what the royal family regularly wears just doesn’t appeal to me, even though they always look chic. I just can’t see myself pulling off a sheath dress and a pillbox hat anytime soon, but there are other items that are royal family–approved that I would wear.

So you live in skinny jeans. Hey, live your life—the style is more or less a classic at this point (depite what some may say). While you may have a go-to way of wearing skinnies, there are specific pieces worth owning to ensure your skinny jean outfits are always forward and exciting. Sure, you can never go wrong with the whole T-shirt and jeans, but that same old denim look can start to feel a bit tired after a while. Right? That’s why it’s important to have those always-cool staples (ahem, oversize outerwear) and unique accessories (looking at you, knee-high boots) to bring your skinnies to the next level. Keep scrolling to uncover the seven things to add to your closet if you swear by your tried-and-true skinnies.

We’re all curious about which items will define the fashion insider wardrobe in 2019. I’m especially interested in which pieces stylish women will own this year, so I reached out to find out what’s sitting in their closets and in their shopping carts. I wanted to learn which items they’ll be wearing in the near future—but before I spot them on their Instagram feeds or in snaps from fashion month. And their selects will no doubt inspire some of your future purchases.

From a new take on designer denim to the print we’ll see all over the street style scene to the buzzy shoe designer everyone is talking about (and more), these are the items stylish women across the globe are adding to their shopping carts. Go on to see which pieces fashion insiders are including in their wardrobes in 2019. Shop their picks ahead, and scroll to the end to see which items are on this editor’s shopping list.

We’re all wildly familiar with (and envious of) French women’s style, which is famed for its timeless, effortless vibes. But French women’s beauty routines are worthy of equal attention. Unlike the beauty aisles of American drugstores, which are fathomless infernos of too many products, the French pharmacie is a place of modest wonder—offering just a handful of affordable skincare, makeup, and haircare brands that help French women keep their skin clear and their hair healthy without overspending or too much fuss.

Aspiring to approach drugstore beauty like a French girl, we hit up a handful of our favorite French fashion influencers and asked them this: If you were to walk into a pharmacy and buy two or three beauty products, what would they be? Keep scrolling to find their answers.
