2020 Gift Guide: Parents & In-Laws

I don't know about you guys, but parents and in-laws are always one of the hardest gifts to shop for me. They usually buy themselves what they need and at the same time, you feel like nothing you give them will ever be *enough*, right? And while I'm lucky to be very close with my in-laws, I know that can be another tricky decision. With that, I usually go about these gifts by treating them or elevating something they already have. A nice pan (code TEACHERDIVA10) they'll have for life, a bath caddy for the MIL who loves to soak, or a lux throw are always good ideas.

The Sneakers to Buy If You Don’t Want to Splurge on Golden Goose

Whenever I wear Golden Goose sneakers, I always get the same questions. Are they worth it? and Do you have recommendations for a smaller budget? The answer to both, in my opinion, is yes. I love the Golden Goose sneakers that I have and truly feel like the quality is unbeatable, alongside comfort. But I also completely understand the second question surrounding budget. I know not everyone wants to spend $400+ on sneakers and that it's kind of ridiculous, but then again, shopping and trying out fashion is a big part of my job. ...

The Best Places To Buy Loungewear

One of my favorite parts of fall and winter is that full-set loungewear makes a return.

But now that we're getting closer to cooler weather, I'm taking inventory on my lounge sets and basics to make sure I'm "prepared". ...
