My friends often make fun of me for telling them to knock on wood—and then following up with “no, really, do it”—when they say something that no one would like to
For every souvenir shop in New York City, there are twice as many well-dressed women; they’re everywhere. I keep a running note on my phone to jot down pieces I spy on others to remember for future shopping trips. (Today, I wrote “green velvet pants”…. You had to be there.) It’s an amazing thing to

I have never seen a more beautiful vessel for hand cream in my life. But beyond the exquisite, sculptural, refillable container, the formula within it is also worthy of some fangirling.

Fresh off the Guts tour in November, Olivia Rodrigo posted an Instagram video donning her signature combat boots, a bright red lip, and a bold silver eye look.

If you prefer a thinner texture, the Posh Balm is your girl. Although it contains rich ingredients like murumuru seed butter, because it comes in stick form, it’s not going to feel as gloopy as ones that are in a tube. It’s a harder texture, and you have to sort of “break the seal” when
