  Comfortable and Stylish Track pants are trending — and I love it! Track pants have finally received the elevation they deserve. They’re such an easy and versatile piece. Track pants can be worn with sneakers (duh) but with heels, boots, ballet flats, and crocs. No matter the footwear, track pants (especially wide-leg ones) will make your outfit chic and cool. I’m a sporty type of gal. I prefer pants over skirts. Track pants (sweatpants) have been my go-to for the past few years. They’re easy to slip on, comfortable, and can be worn with any top. Since track pants are trending, their styling has reached new levels. Women wear track pants with blazers, vests, blouses, and crop tops. I prefer to wear my track pants with boots or sneakers, especially my Adidas Sambas. As mentioned before, I like the wide-leg track pants style. They add a bit of chic to an outfit and give the wearer permission to dress them up or down. If I don’t like wearing a hoodie or sweatshirt, I’ll wear a denim ...

5 Ways to Wear a Cardigan This Fall A cardigan is a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down, making it a must-have for any fall wardrobe. Here are five ways to style your cardigan this season: Layer it over a dress: Pair a cozy cardigan with a flowy dress for a chic and comfortable look. Opt for a neutral-colored cardigan to complement the dress, or choose a contrasting color for a bolder statement. Combine with jeans and a tee: For a casual yet stylish outfit, throw a cardigan over a plain t-shirt and jeans. Add a pair of sneakers or ankle boots to complete the look. Wear it as a jacket: If you're not feeling too cold, a cardigan can be a stylish alternative to a coat. Pair it with a skirt, tights, or leggings for a feminine and practical ensemble. Style it with a turtleneck: Layer a turtleneck under your cardigan for added warmth and a touch of sophistication. Choose a contrasting color for a visually attractive outfit. Belt it for a cinched waist: For a more flatteri...

Colors and Textures Reign Supreme The main accessory for any season is a bag. Bags and purses are large and in charge for Fall 2024. The colors, sizes, and textures fit all fashion types. On the runways, designers like Chanel and Ferragamo gave audiences rich colors like burgundy and textures like woven designs. Here are some bags to check out for Fall 2024: The 6 Biggest Bag Trends of Fall 2024 There’s a lot of color and a little bit of chaos By Tara GonzalezPublished: Aug 16, 2024, 9:42 AM EDT Wearing your bag — like actually wearing it — is the most significant bag trend for fall. Gone are the days when people feared setting their bags on the sidewalk or even the subway floor. Scuff marks are now worn like a sign of pride. Wine stains à la Olsen — a look the twins popularized with their worn-in Balenciaga city bags in the 2010s — are even better. Luxury bags don’t have to be precious anymore. Just look at how everyone accesses them with fuzzy keychains and beaded friendshi...

When the weather is hot and sticky, the last thing you want to wear at night is some itchy and scratchy PJs. Summer nights can be either breezy and cool or clammy and uncomfortable, depending on where you live. You want sleepwear that can adjust to night temperatures and be fine for daytime lounging. My go-to sleepwear is a tank top and shorts. Nothing fancy. I want to be comfortable in bed while I have the AC turned on high and my comforter wrapper around me like it’s winter. During the day, I can walk around my home without getting the eye roll from my family. I can even go out in the backyard without the neighbors thinking I’m a nudist. But I also know that I want sleepwear that fits the surroundings if I’m away on a trip. Not everyone is a tank top and shorts kind of girl at bedtime. Here are some sleepwear trends for 2024: ***REPOST*** The 13 Very Best Pajamas for Women Eberjey makes the best women's pajamas, but we've tested lots of great options in cotton, linen m...

Get ready for day trips, brunch meetups, and evenings out! Sequins & Sales Phot Source With winter behind us and Spring transitioning into Summer, it’s time to change my bag for the new season. During winter, I like a thick, sturdy bag. The bag needs to be apple to hold a lot — smaller purses, makeup, pens, lotion, notebooks, and laptops. A well-made bag can take being dropped, dragged, and thrown around. Leather bags are great for winter. They’re the sturdiest. But faux leather and mixed metal bags work well also. In the Spring, I like my bags to be colorful and large. I generally go for a cloth or cotton bag. It has to have thick straps and a strong bottom. Spring time is also totes season. A good tote will get you through the changing weather of Spring. Wooden bags are pretty good depending on the brand. Don’t get a wooden bag from a dollar store or low-end retailer! I’ve seen durable wooden bags at Marshalls, Target, and TJ Maxx. But as Summer approaches, I want someth...

Get Your Feet Ready for Some Footwear Cosmopolitan.com (Image source) My feet hate winter and Spring, but they're in love with summer! In the winter, my feet are wrapped in socks and thick, chunky boots. While I love my boots, they’re heavy and not great for running errands all day.

So when June comes around, my feet can feel the warm air, and my toes can show off the latest polish. I love summer!
