PSA: This Secret Sale Has Designer Deals for Up to 90% Off, but Items Are Selling Out a Mile a Minute

When I was in middle school, stretchy yoga pants were all the rage. I was especially a fan of the kind with a fold-over top, which I would pair with a crop top and Converse sneakers for the ultimate cool-girl look. These days, yoga pants have been rebranded to flare leggings, but celebs and shoppers are still styling them with simple tees and classic sneakers. And right now, Amazon customers are loving these crossover front-flare leggings, which are on sale starting at $23.

We’re officially one week away from Valentine’s Day, and time is running out to get your look together for the big night. Whether you’re going out with friends, a partner, or yourself, the holiday of love is a great opportunity to wear your finest red and pink. But if you haven’t figured out your outfit yet, fear not: Amazon’s in-house brand The Drop teamed up with beauty giant Maybelline New York to curate a collection of Valentine’s-inspired fashion and makeup.

As the temperatures drop, celebrity attire seems to be moving in the opposite direction of what you might expect. As in, hemlines are getting shorter, not longer — say what? What’s more, some A-listers are nixing pants altogether, and while it might not really make sense in terms of practicality, fashion isn’t all about following the rules or doing the expected thing.

The Martha Stewart of my childhood is not the Martha Stewart of 2023. This is not a bad thing — just a surprise. When I was growing up, she was the patron saint of tidiness, etiquette, and organization. My mom would refer to her at least once a week when teaching my siblings and me how to make a bed using “hospital corners” or the proper way to clean a wood surface.

Up until a few years ago, I washed my hair daily. Then my roommate, whose mother was a hairdresser, found out, and I got an ear full about the health of my hair and how I was “stripping” it of the natural oils. Sometimes, a little bullying works (proven when Austin Butler announced he’d be dropping the Elvis voice), because I decided, “fine, I’ll wash my hair every other day.” Fast forward to 2022 when I decided to color my naturally dark brown hair red and found myself at the salon just a month after the initial dye with faded, barely-there copper locks. My stylist then made it abundantly clear: If I didn’t want to spend a fortune keeping my hair red, I’d have to wash my hair a lot less.

Yes, the rumors are true — my heat tools and I are in a committed relationship. Nearly every morning since the seventh grade, I have heat styled my hair in some way, shape, or form (rest in peace to my pink Chi straightener). My hair is naturally curly, but I have yet to embrace it (which is something I will eventually unpack in therapy), but until then, I’ve been determined to revive my damaged hair. My current saving grace? Augustinus Bader's The Hair Oil.

If you’ve ever wanted to try a stiletto nail but found it difficult to incorporate it into your daily life, you’re in luck. 2023 is the year of the short stiletto nail. Stiletto nails are that girl; these nails are everyone’s go-to if they want to make a bold statement. Usually long, they are filed and shaped with a sharp or almond-shaped point at the tip. While fabulous looking, one of their major downsides is that it makes it really hard to do basic everyday things (e.g. typing on your phone or taking out your contacts). This year, however, the beloved nail shape is getting a slight — and more practical — update.
