Ringing in the New Year with Ruffles and Shine!

Happy New Year everyone!!!  Welcoming 2019 with ruffles and shine! The honest truth is, I can’t wait for 2018 to end.   Since August actually, I’ve been counting down the days.   Given that 2018 was the year of the dog (a bad luck year if it was your year and the year of the dog is my year), I felt it was already off to a rocky start.   And it was the perfect storm with the past and present, all colliding.   I felt the highest highs and lowest lows.  I went from feeling emotionally depleted and physically drained to feeling empowered and accomplished all within a very short period of time.   And the more I shared about my past, the more people around me started sharing about theirs.   Nothing more raw and true than the painful human experiences that connects us all.   And for that, I count my blessings every day. I feel extremely blessed.   I experienced two things that most survivors often do not get to ...

After You See These 11 Comfortable Boots, You Won't Want to Wear Anything Else

As much as we all love a fashion-forward boot, if it's not comfortable, we aren't wearing it.

Enter the shearling boot. Made popular by the classic UGG Australia boot, more and more designers are now creating cute, comfortable shearling boots that you're going to want to live in. These are our absolute favorite picks; you can thank us later. Related: Waterproof Boots Are the Unsung Heroes of Our Winter Wardrobe from POPSUGAR Fashion http://bit.ly/2SiHdjB

I Got This Sparkly Party Dress From Kohl's, and It's the Comfiest NYE Outfit on Earth

Last year for New Year's Eve , I wore a dress I was constantly adjusting. You could find me in the bathroom pulling up the top and retying the waist belt all night long. This year's resolution? To be comfy as I ring in 2019. That's why I freaked out when I laid my eyes on this new Metallic Star Tiered Party Dress ($41, originally $64) from our POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's. It's special and fancy, yet the silhouette is loose and swingy. As soon as I slipped this dress on, I was sold. The tulle overlay and gold star print make this piece a head-turner, no doubt. Plus, the shift style means I won't be fidgeting at anything - I can socialize and dance all night long. All I need is some black heels and gold hoops to complete the look. The best part? I know I'll wear this piece again and again. It would look cute with tights or a sweater layered over it. Read on to see all the details of this dress, then treat yourself!

A Former Forever 21 Employee Breaks Down Everything You Need to Know

Forever 21 is a girl's dream come true when it comes to fast fashion. I worked there for almost two years, and I learned a lot of insider shopping secrets during my time at the store. It's probably why half of my closet comes from there - I know exactly what to look for. There are so many strategies for finding standout pieces with small price tags. You should take my word for it when I say that these are genius hacks that will take your shopping experience to the next level. Read on to find out what you need to know. 1. The good stuff is "blended" in the back. When there's only one size left of a particular item, sales associates are taught to take those onesies and "blend" them into a rack of other clothes. Basically, they hang that product behind a batch of clothes in a similar shade. If there's only one item of a certain style left, that usually means it was very popular and on trend so it sold fast. Look at the back of racks to find cute p...

19 Times Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Said, "Babe, We're Twinning," Before Leaving the House

I'm pretty sure that when I get all glammed up in a dress and heels for dinner, my boyfriend throws on sweats just to spite me. ( See what I mean ?) But Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - my goodness! - they must spend a good portion of their day comparing material swatches. They announced their engagement in 2017 , then took on 2018 with a vengeance, obviously pretty dedicated to twinning, if ever a couple was. You won't believe how often Harry matched the checks on his tie to Meghan's plaid coat, and there were clearly plenty of times Harry sighed, "Babe, I just feel like jeans and a blazer," and Meghan said, "RT." I don't know about you, but I'm demanding a couple's shopping spree this upcoming weekend, and you better believe I'm snapping outfit selfies before we leave the palace - er, apartment.

Gabrielle Union's Approach to Fashion This Year: Totally Fearless

"Very busy but will stop to slay," Gabrielle Union captioned an Instagram post of one of her many amazing street style looks from 2018 . The actress has had a busy year: not only did she welcome a daughter , but she's been busy filming her new show LA's Finest and even found time to renovate a house .

What Different Diamond Sizes Look Like IRL

Full disclosure: we've dreamt about our engagement ring - and the guy who will give it to us - for as long as we can remember. We're fashion girls, after all. Sparkly diamonds, the excuse to buy the dress of our dreams, and all things wedding-related are pretty much our ultimate weakness. But when it comes to carat size and technical stuff, you might as well be speaking a foreign language. Because we know that the carat is the weight of the diamond and - sigh - the higher the weight, the higher the price, but what does that even mean? What does it actually look like? On real-people fingers? Luckily, we've got a few friends in high places, and Ritani , a diamond company with a factory in NYC, offered to shed some light on our rock-size dilemma. So without further ado, here's what real diamonds look like on real-girl hands. Now your only issue is discretely sending this to your S.O.

Hailey Baldwin Wore So Many Sexy Looks This Year, We Can Hardly Beliebe It

If anyone reigned supreme in the fashion department this year , it was Hailey Baldwin. The supermodel, who works with Maeve Reilly on constructing her street style and red carpet looks, came up big on the sparkle and shine and flaunted a few racy, sheer designs when we least expected it. This year will never be an average point in time for Ms. Bieber to look back on. You see, she got married to Justin just months after making headlines for attending the Met Gala with Shawn Mendes, all glammed up in Tommy Hilfiger . If it sounds like Hails kept us guessing romantically speaking, just wait until you read through her most memorable outfits! You might have lost track of a few of these somewhere in between Shawn and Justin, but we won't let you forget one single, glamorous appearance that belonged to Hailey and Hailey alone.

I Traded My Full-On Disco-Ball Look For This $32 Party Top and Never Looked Back

With the enthusiasm of my 10th grade self in a school play, I like to commit fully to the holiday festivities and go all in with a sequin-covered skirt, feather-trimmed pants, or gilded jacket. I never minded the effort; I relished in it. Then somewhere between gift shopping and binge-watching The Great British Baking Show , it was 8 p.m. on a Saturday night, trying to get out the door with a babysitter in the living room and, well, nothing to wear. I hadn't taken the time to "craft" a holiday outfit, hadn't planned through the jewels, accoutrements, and smattering of sequins I'd adorn myself with to wow on the holiday party circuit. All I had was this glittery sweater top ($32) lying on the bed in a pile - still balled up with the jeans I had paired it with on Friday afternoon. What the hell? I threw it on with silky skirt and a pair of heels, caught myself in the mirror, and thought, "OK, MOM." At my husband's "fancy" work dinner, fri...

Taylor Swift's Hands-Free Bag Is Practically Perfect in Every Way For Winter

Taylor Swift was spotted on a rare outing in NYC with her boyfriend Joe Alwyn , and the duo were bundled up for the brisk weather. Their color coordination might not have been obvious, but while Joe stuck to cool blue outerwear, Taylor warmed things up in a rust-tone furry coat and plum skinnies. The romantic touch? Taylor and Joe held hands as they walked, which might not have been possible if Taylor was toting a purse. Luckily for Joe, she opted for a hands-free YSL belt bag that she strapped across her chest . So, is this accessory not the best possible option for a day date in Winter?

I Never Liked This Popular Winter Trend, Until I Tried This Coat

I'm going to admit something here, I'm not a big fan of the teddy coat trend. Now, before you get all up in arms, just hear me out. Most of these fuzzy, cozy coats I've seen aren't very flattering; the hem hits at the wrong spot on my body, and in the Winter, because I'm always cold, I don't need to feel like any more of a marshmallow than I already do. I prefer either a longer, more tailored silhouette or a cropped coat. So, when I saw this POPSUGAR at Kohl's Teddy Bear Bomber Jacket ($58, originally $78), I was intrigued. I love a bomber jacket, and the cropped shape was something I'd never seen before. Now that we've spent some time together, it's a full-on obsession, and here's why. This coat is the right combination of comfortable and sporty, and it goes with everything. I like it best paired with a pretty sweater and jeans, but it also looks great with a high-waisted skirt or even a festive jumpsuit. It's something I don...

If You Carry Your Life in Your Bag, We Found 13 of the Prettiest Options Imaginable

I keep the following things in my bag at all times: hair ties, hand cream, sunglasses, lip balm, lipstick, lip gloss, mints, a water bottle, barre socks, and enough snacks to last me at least three days. As fun as the mini bag trend is, when it comes to practicality, I am a firm believer in the bigger, the better. I also refuse to carry multiple small bags, so I have come to be pretty discerning about roomy totes, and these are the ones that have passed my test. If you're flying and looking to make the most of your "personal item," or just trying to get through the day with your 12 lip products and more, you need these spacious tote bags.

Alessandra Ambrosio Found the Cheekiest Bikini Known to Mankind - and Only For $79!

When I'm home for the holidays, I pretty much live in oversize t-shirts and sweatpants as I shovel Christmas cookies down my throat and binge-watch Law & Order: SVU . But Alessandra Ambrosio? She's celebrating the festive time of year by frolicking on the beach in a skimpy bikini . The 37-year-old supermodel was just spotted on the shores of Brazil in an electric blue Triangl swimsuit that put all - and I mean all - of her assets on display. Alessandra's ribbed two-piece featured a scoop-neck top and cheeky bottoms that made her legs look miles long, and she showed off her derrière as she waded into the water. She styled her cobalt bikini with a straw hat, round sunglasses, dainty necklaces, and gold bracelets.

100+ Street Style Looks That Defined 2018

I hadn't seen biker shorts worn with such fervor since my family's '91 trip to Disney; sequins took the streets in broad daylight (fun fact: I spotted a girl waiting for the bus in a paliette-covered pencil skirt before 8 a.m.); white boots had become more ubiquitous than a pair of blue jeans. Beyond the runway , it's these trends that defined street style in 2018. Sure, if you had told us two years ago that we'd be styling biker shorts with blazers, we'd likely have laughed it off and pulled on our mom jeans, thankyouverymuch - but this year's style stars convinced us to dive right in. Not just that, either. We added logo bags to the rotation, threw on our shoulder bags (crossbody style!), and added cowboy boots and animal prints to mix things up. This year gave us nostalgia reimagined with a contemporary lens; in a nutshell, there was enough new outfit inspiration to last 365 days and then some. So, you'll forgive us if we'll be wearing these ...

5 Makeup Tricks to Hide the Hangover From Hell

We’ll point the finger at the friend who encouraged a third glass of wine with dinner, or the bartender who was too generous with his vodka-to-soda ratio. Whatever (whoever?) the reason may be for getting a little too cocktail-happy during a night on the town, we’ve accepted that it just happens sometimes. Bring on the unattractive consequences. Ideally, we’d spend a day post-party in the most cliché way possible: in bed with a big bag of greasy fast food and Netflix. Unfortunately, our schedules are too packed with brunches, errands, and of course, work, to allow ourselves a day of lounging around—especially during the week. Instead, we need act like the grown-ups we are, wipe that hungover gaze from our faces and carry on with our commitments. But how do you fake being in prime condition while battling blotchy skin, glossy eyes and an overall look of near-death dehydration?
