If there’s something you can swear on about fashion people, it’s that no matter the trip or occasion, their travel essentials will be anything but boring. Whether it’s weekender bags or aesthetically pleasing under-eye bags, the style set often has a few fashion and beauty essentials they chuck into their carry-ons that look and feel good—along with being TSA-approved, of course.
“This client used to come to me for a couple of years. She was never happy with the colour. It was either too warm or too cool; too ashy or too brassy. Then one day, I did the colour, toner and treatment, and when I was blowdrying she said she didn’t like the shade. I said, ‘Okay, let’s tone again,’ so we toned again. We did this three times. At the end of the appointment, she said she didn’t like her hair and she was very aggressive. Not polite at all. I said to her, ‘Can you please stand up?’ She asked, ‘Why?’ I told her again to stand up, and then, ‘Leave the salon. I’m not going to do your hair ever again. Not me, not anyone in this salon.’

When you think of Fabletics, you might associate the brand with gymwear staples like workout leggings, bike shorts, and supportive sports bras — of which the label has no shortage. But there’s more to Fabletics than meets the eye, as evidenced by the brand’s latest spring collection. It features an array of functional, figure-hugging pieces that are designed to upgrade your spring wardrobe with a sporty flair.
Here in New York, we are experiencing our first tastes of spring (hello, 60-degree days!), and that has me cleaning out my shoe closet in preparation for the season ahead. As I start to transition my wardrobe and retire those knee-high boots and chunky loafers until next winter, I made a mental checklist of all the best shoe trends for spring/summer 2024 and which ones I could fill in with what I already own. I soon realized that the new-drop sections of Nordstrom, Zara, and Shopbop have all the trend-forward styles I could imagine. Even better, the majority of these on-trend styles are under $200, so I can load up on a few pairs without serious buyer’s remorse.
Our verdict: “I have only started incorporating retinol in my body care routine in the last couple weeks, but I’ve already seen a noticeable difference in the suppleness of my skin. This luxurious body serum is to thank for it. The retinol and AHAs gently chip away my dead skin, while hydrating agents like squalane and lactic acid pump up the moisture. It feels delicate and expensive on my skin, like a face cream would, and the scent is clean and milky. The exfoliant works so well that sometimes I can see bits of dead skin rubbing off as I run the lotion through my limbs. My only quip? A lot of product gushes out with each squeeze, so you have to be a bit careful.” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer
