This editor’s new favorite cleanser. Bonus: It’s clean.
Another personal favorite. I can’t live without this invigorating mask. It has microbeads for light exfoliation and citrus extracts for a gentle peel that always leaves my skin glowing. And since you only need to leave it on for three minutes, it’s great if you’re in a rush.
There is no chicer hand cream than Chanel N°5 hand cream.

Emily Ratajkowski isn’t the likeliest celebrity to wear skinny jeans, but there’s certainly photographic evidence that she does wear them from time to time, along with a lot of straight-leg and loose-fit jeans. But lately, she’s been ditching denim in favor of bike shorts, minidresses, and now cargo pants. EmRata, whose favorite thing to wear with cargo pants is crop tops (again, photographic evidence), wore a pair of pleated cargo pants with a crop top in NYC this week, signaling her approval of the rising pant trend.
Just last week, my fellow editor Nicole proclaimed her love for the cargo pant trend, even stating that she’s putting her jeans away for it. She provided plenty of street style and Instagram evidence to back up the popularity of the trend, and Ratajkowski is all the It-girl proof we need that cargo pants are the new wardrobe staple to buy for fall. Scroll to do just that.

Jason DeParle’s new book follows one Filipino family for over 30 years. He had originally intended to research slum life — but discovered that migration was what lifted the family out of the slum.
If you follow Erin Foster on Instagram, you know that she constantly jokes about being 30-something and unmarried—but that’s about to change. Foster just revealed that she’s engaged to Simon Tikhman, and I feel personally invested in their relationship after following along with her relatable dating woes for years.
Of course, she shared the news with her signature self-deprecating humor. “How on earth did I pull this off,” she captioned her Instagram along with a ring emoji. Erin’s sister Sara Instagrammed a photo of Erin’s engagement ring, and it’s as stunning as I’d expect. The photo has racked up roughly four times her average amount of likes and comments, and it’s no wonder why. It boasts a massive, oval-shaped solitaire diamond and a simple gold band. In other words, it’s timeless and statement-making—the perfect combo. Scroll down to see Erin Foster’s engagement ring.
Raiders receiver Antonio Brown, who has filed a second grievance against the NFL over his being denied use of his preferred helmet, was “all-in and ready to go” while wearing a certified helmet during Tuesday’s practice.
While the temps here in NYC are still very much stuck in summer mode, any fashion girl can attest to the fact that regardless of the actual weather, we still all have fall fashion on our minds. Blame it on NYFW being just two short weeks away, the fact that every storefront’s and website’s new-arrivals section is stocked with sweaters and jackets, or simply summer outfit fatigue. Either way, all roads lead to the fact that the closest we can get to fall fashion right now is transitional dressing.
Think that new fall bag you already bought sneaking into your current rotation or the addition of a light-but-trendy sweater to your summer uniform of the last two months. There are countless ways to infuse next season into your outfits right now, and last night in NYC, Gigi Hadid showed us another one. Stepping out in a blazer, graphic tee, and bike shorts, she not only gave us outfit envy but also made re-creating her look an actual possibility thanks to a handful of affordable pieces she wore. Her go-to Reeboks are a worthy investment at $75, her woven bag (which, by the way, is the perfect nod to the fact that we’re still actually in summer) can be purchased for $55, and her bike shorts (that also happen to be in my own closet) are a mere $38.
If I lost you during my rant about the seasons and transitional dressing, I’m betting I have your attention now. To see and shop Gigi’s look, plus more items you’ll need to make the outfit your own, just keep scrolling.
