As a Capricorn there’s nothing more satisfying to me than a fresh start, which is why the first week of the month is often my favorite one. Plus, as a shopping writer, I also know that the beginning of the month happens to be when Amazon drops thousands of new fashion arrivals, making this week an opportune occasion to treat yourself to some new pieces.

As someone who isn’t the best at living in the moment, I have to admit that I’ve spent the past few weeks counting down the days until fall’s arrival. While the official start of the season isn’t for another few weeks, now that Labor Day is over, it might as well be apple-picking season as far as I’m concerned. Crisp fall days don’t come without their fashion challenges, however—we’re now in that awkward phase where it’s too warm for a heavy coat, but too brisk for bare arms. Over the weekend, I was scrolling through Instagram when I saw that Martha Stewart posted in the lightweight layer that’s the perfect solution for this styling conundrum—an army green overshirt.

Although it pains me to admit it, I’m in the midst of a hair crisis. My three months of knotless braids, while a life-saver for summertime, have left my hair dry, brittle, and in desperate need of nourishment. As I transition back into silk-press season, I’m stocking up on treatments, creams, and oils aimed at moisturizing and re-growing neglected locks. And this week, I discovered that Mielle Organics, the brand behind the famous rosemary growth oil, carries a fine-hair friendly version of its viral product: the Rosemary Mint Light Scalp and Strengthening Oil.

If you haven’t started planning your fall wardrobe, let simplicity be your guide for inspiration. Sometimes the easiest answer is the best, and nothing comes easier than a pair of leggings. And since this is fall fashion we’re talking about, arguably the most fun season for getting dressed, adding on layers and classic accessories is the name of the game. Enter the leather loafer, a show that has undergone so many iterations that finding a pair to complement your look is a snap.

10 Ways to Style Leggings with Loafers

Loafers never really go out of style, but this year the practical footwear style is one of the top trending shoes on the fashion scene. Largely considered a fall wardrobe staple, we’d argue that loafers can be worn year-round. They’re a chic and comfortable addition to an ensemble that you can wear to the office or out on the town.

Refined by New York chemist Robert Chesebrough almost 150 years ago, petroleum jelly is still widely used today in topical applications. Even with the myths that abound online about it being carcinogenic, it has withstood the test of time.

Inflammation is how the body responds to threats, such as infections or injuries. It’s a natural immune response and the body’s way of protecting itself. When the body perceives a threat, inflammation flares up to eliminate the cause of damage. But when inflammation is out of control, it poses a health risk.

Nicole Kidman is continuing her red carpet style streak with another jaw-dropping look. Just days after returning from the Venice Film Festival—where she stunned in both a Schiaparelli Couture corseted gown and a low-cut LBD paired with white retro heels—the actress attended the Los Angeles premiere of her new Netflix show The Perfect Couple, dressed in an outfit that truly sparkled.

Back in July, Jennifer Aniston was doused and drenched in ink black oil on the streets of New York City. You can’t have missed the paparazzi shots. But in case you did, here’s some context: While filming for the fourth season of The Morning Show, her character Alex Levy had someone hurl sludge at her during a protest scene.

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.

An opinion piece appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association, or JAMA this week illustrates why the drug problem among people experiencing homelessness in Denver may be so severe. It's because many homeless people aren't addicted to just one drug, but two, according to the viewpoint's author, Benjamin A. Howell of Yale School of Medicine and colleagues.

Though Gen Z is hell-bent on reviving Y2K, those of us who were there remember it as a time of chaos. Celebrity breakups were all the rage and lower back tattoos were trending. The pandemonium extended to the fashion space, as well, with Disney Channel stars wearing dresses over pants and gauchos considered the height of fashion. Another such chaotic trend is the bubble skirt, a poofy, 1980s relic that was often styled with leggings and belly button-length necklaces. And, fortunately for Gen Z, they’re back.

Have you ever walked past someone with lashes that looked so good, you couldn’t tell if it was just mascara or if they had on a set of falsies? That’s the exact vibe that most clients want when they go in for a set of lash extensions. Your-lashes-but-better is what should be promised (whether you want natural or glam!). But once you invest in a fresh new set of flutters, how long do they last?

Actor Van Johnson, who died in 2007, was one of Hollywood's ideal films idols. In the 1940s, the charming screen icon was box office gold, and remained a popular presence on TV in shows like Murder, She Wrote (which starred his good friend Angela Lansbury).

It's been 35 years since the original Baywatch TV series premiered on NBC in the 1989-1990 season. One year later, it was syndicated and became one of the most popular TV shows on the planet. The show's original cast included David Hasselhoff, who stayed with the series through its entire run. During that time, he was joined by other actors, including (but not limited to) Pamela Anderson, Alexandra Paul, and Jason Simmon. At the time, Simmons, who is gay, was in the closet.

While I love testing out new trends, I’m also pretty discerning about the fashion fads I avoid. Until very recently, one of those trends was ballet flats—a.k.a., the biggest “It” shoe of the year. No matter how many pairs I tried on, dainty flats never felt right on me and seemed at odds with my personal style, which leans toward chunkier, more structured silhouettes. Just when I was ready to throw in the towel, however, I discovered a shoe that, in true Cinderella fashion, appeared tailor-made for me: a pair of boxy, square-toe flats.
