Of the complexion changes my early 30s have (not so kindly) bestowed, dullness is perhaps the most salient. Despite bi-weekly glycolic acid peels, the radiance I lackadaisically took for granted in my 20s is becoming an increasingly distant memory. Luckily, brightness-boosting skin care exists—and you needn’t spend a fortune to find a formula that works. Take, for instance, the Regenerist Vitamin C and Peptide Moisturizer from Olay, which is $24 at Amazon.

Fashion has always come naturally to me, but skin care had a bit of a learning curve. My routine, or lack thereof, consisted of solely face wash—no sunscreen (I know, I know). When I started writing about all-things beauty, I got a mean wake-up call from the community on the wrongs of my routine. Ignorance is truly bliss, but I will say it’s also easy to overdo it. This is why I now see a facialist at least once a quarter to get back on track.

I exfoliate my face bi-weekly—yet, save for the occasional clarifying shampoo, I rarely slough dead skin from my scalp. My lack of attention becomes particularly apparent in the soupy summer months, when sweat and product buildup (often from excess dry shampoo) mix and form a palpable film at my roots. Physical sensation aside, buildup hinders hair health and may even prevent strands from growing their strongest. As trichologist Gretchen Friese previously told InStyle, “Creating a healthy [scalp] environment for hair to grow is essential for thick, healthy hair.” The Aromatica Rosemary Scalp Scaling Shampoo is formulated to do exactly that—and, per shoppers, it creates thicker hair by proliferating strands.

Martha Stewart is currently galavanting around the Paris 2024 Olympics completing random side quests alongside Snoop Dogg. (I will never get over how random that friendship is.) She just turned 83 years old and looks ageless as ever—I pray to our lizard overlords that I ever look half that radiant. She’s not one to gatekeep, either, and a lot of her go-to products are very affordable. She does, however, splurge, as is evident by her Clé de Peau Beauté Eye Contour Cream Supreme.

One raunchy piece of advice made Haliey Welch an internet sensation — though her fame has come with a price. The 23-year-old, best known as "hawk tuah girl," has had to deal with some rather creepy fans ever since a video of Welch giving a tip about intercourse went insanely viral online.

This fall is gearing up to be a little less one-note than previous seasons when it comes to sneakers, and I’m all for it. As much as I love Adidas’s Sambas, it’s nice to see some new faces. In the past few months alone, I’ve seen retro-inspired basketball shoes, dad sneakers, and even old-school Vans trending—and thanks to Natalie Portman, I’m ready to add another to the list.

If you're searching for a quick and easy low-maintenance protective hairstyle, look no further than flat twists. “They involve twisting sections of hair flat against the scalp, providing a protective style similar to cornrows but instead using a two-strand twisting technique," says celebrity hairstylist Camille Friend. And because the look involves two strands instead of three, it's much easier to master than cornrows.

When I think of Reese Witherspoon’s style, my mind goes to practical but stylish sneakers, crisp button-downs, classic jeans, and, as of this summer, crochet dresses. The open-knit style has quickly become the actress’ warm-weather staple; in the last week alone, she’s worn a mini one from Dôen, one that looks nearly identical to this one from Self Portrait, as well as a full length, empire waist dress that featured the intricate detail at the bodice. Her commitment to the summer-ready sweater dress might have finally convinced me to step outside of my linen comfort zone.

As a fashion writer in New York City, I’m constantly inspired by the looks of those around me; I spend my commutes dissecting the outfits of stylish strangers and taking mental notes for my own shopping wishlists (in the least creepy way, of course). Though the city often feels like my Pinterest board’s personification, there are times when my everyday looks could use a little zhuzh—that’s when I turn to the West Coast. To close out the summer in style, I tapped L.A.-based celebrity stylist and fashion editor Vanessa Powell to spill the top five trends Cali It girls are wearing right now.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.
