T.S. Eliot may have measured his life in coffee spoons, but millennial girls do it in Selma Blair movies. We hit high school as she hit the big screen in Cruel Intentions; we got our diplomas as she scored her law degree in Legally Blonde. Our first G-strings were inspired by her Sweetest Thing sexcapades;

Allow me to set the scene. It’s sometime in the 2000s. A commercial for Moon Boots interrupts What Not to Wear. The Black Eyed Peas just dropped a hot new single, and you’re checking out a little-known artist named Rihanna. You snack on an Uncrustable in the family computer room, multitasking between AIM and caring

When it comes to fashion campaigns, few are more iconic than Calvin Klein.

For its fall campaign, the brand whittled its tried-and-true

Since 1860, Chopard, the famed Swiss jewelry and watch company, has been known for its luxe pieces. Its newest collection, My Happy Hearts, takes that elevated design sensibility and adds a touch of whimsy, for joyful accessories that are as wearable as they are chic.

I remember the exact moment I was sold on sneakers as the secret to making any outfit look effortlessly cool. In 2015, I watched a designer take a bow at the end of her runway show wearing slouchy trousers paired with plain white sneakers—and immediately set out to get my own pair. Almost a decade

The release of Meghan Markle’s debut podcast series is exciting in itself, but the fact that her outfit from the cover art is shoppable—and under $25? Thrilling.

If Daniel Roseberry’s designs came with a recipe, it would boil down to this: seasoning luxury with Surrealism.

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. I distinctly remember meeting Gianluca Russo for the first time at a Project Runway taping several years ago.

I love denim. Be it in the form of jean shorts for summer, mom jeans for weekend errands, or an oversized denim jacket for fall, denim is my tried-and-true category that never fails (even for the slightly less casual moments).

While the paparazzi probably aren’t following you on the regular, there’s something to be said for maintaining an A-list-level of polish wherever you go (after all, you never know which ex or coworker you might run into).
