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. read more

When celebs hit the red carpet, their glowing complexions are one of the first things we notice, which is why we’re constantly asking makeup artists to spill their favorite foundation formulas and skin-prep secrets. However, makeup artists almost never stop at an A-lister’s face. They’re in charge of making their limbs look flawless too. That’s why their shoulders, collarbones, arms, and legs always look as if they’ve been airbrushed. Obviously, we want in on all the red carpet info, and that includes the under-the-radar body products that pro makeup artists trust. So when we found out about the $50 product that celebs like Alix Earle, Victoria Monét, and Issa Rae swear by, we let out an actual shriek of excitement. read more

In order to make my sleep environment feel comfortable and luxurious, I went on a hunt for the most comfortable mattress, a supportive pillow wrapped in a silky pillowcase, and sheets that feel like a cloud. But the cornerstone of my sleep setup is always my pajamas. In fact, I’ve made it a habit to wear matching pajama sets to get my mind and body ready for bed. I’ve searched high and low for the most comfortable pair, but with my high standards, it took me so long to find the perfect PJs. I needed them to feel like butter on my skin, but also lightweight and breathable so that I could wear them all year long. And of course, they had to look cute. read more

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. read more
