February 20, 2019 at 02:05PM by CWC You can find a ton of shoes and sneakers that you can wear all day without getting a number of miscellaneous body aches. For some reason, though, comfortable boots—that aren’t (unintentionally) ugly or orthopedic looking—are harder to come by. Such practical shoe unicorns do exist, however—it just requires,… Continue Reading →

January 04, 2019 at 08:30AM Picture this: You just put together the cutest outfit of new holiday picks—sleek leather leggings, an oversized cashmere turtleneck, and your fabulous gold hoops—when you remember the icy tundra that awaits outside of your front door. Um, your old snow boots will definitely cramp this “new year, new you” outfit… Continue Reading →

December 30, 2018 at 04:00AM On a recent Sunday, I rode my bike over to one of my girlfriend’s apartments to eat dinner, which was really just an excuse for her to get me and her new boyfriend together, in the hopes that we’d hit it off. Anyone who has participated in this particular new… Continue Reading →

December 20, 2018 at 10:37AM Did you see those boots? On Wednesday, with glittery thigh-high Balenciaga boots peeking out of her full-length gown, former first lady Michelle Obama brought some serious holiday sparkle to the stage at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center—and set the internet ablaze. (Astrologer and writer Chani Nicholas pointed out that Obama, a Capricorn, wore… Continue Reading →

December 14, 2018 at 03:00AM The idea of a “dad sneaker” has always been a little lost on me, personally. When I think back to what my father stomped around in during my childhood, it wasn’t a chunky, white trainer—more often than not, he was clad in some kind of hiking boot. (As were many… Continue Reading →

December 11, 2018 at 06:19AM My love affair with sneakers is well-documented. But I wasn’t always like this. Just a couple of years ago, the idea of wearing sneakers anywhere aside from the gym made me feel nauseous. I would strap myself into the most painful shoes, and I took pride in the fact that… Continue Reading →

September 25, 2018 at 09:48AM So you’re honoring the onslaught of fall weather by treating yourself to a new pair of leather boots. The purchase has you daydreaming about the endless comfy-cute leggings and sweaters combos you’ll rock them with all the season. But then reality hits: Before you can live out this hygge-fied fantasy, you’ll have to… Continue Reading →

February 11, 2019 at 02:21PM by CWC Gigi Hadid spends a lot of time, both on and off the runway, in head-to-toe high fashion looks. But the 23-year-old supermodel says that when’s she’s truly off duty, she prefers to keep things sporty. “Athleisure is very much what comes naturally to me,” Hadid shared at the… Continue Reading →

February 05, 2019 at 10:07AM by CWC As a typical New Yorker with a strong desire to expand her closet, but the sinking reality that my apartment space just won’t allow for it (or my budget for that matter), there’s one question that, in one way or another, I’ve been asking myself a lot thus… Continue Reading →

February 05, 2019 at 03:30AM by CWC Wearable fitness trackers may be good news for your health, but trust me when I say that step-counting changes you. I no longer leisurely stroll; now I mean business as I ascend—3409, 3410, 3411—all in an obsessive quest to hit my 10,000 step count benchmark OTD. And ironically, I use… Continue Reading →

February 02, 2019 at 10:45AM by CWC I never get angry when I receive socks for Christmas, just curious about which ones will make it to the new year. I mean, I’ll wear some holly-covered footwear through October, but we all know that socks are the first thing to get lost in the wash. But… Continue Reading →

February 01, 2019 at 05:34AM by CWC There are two types of people in the world—people who love Birkenstocks and people who hate them. I’m staunchly in the latter camp. But I have to admit, I’m curious. Both classic Birkenstocks and their high fashion iterations are so popular at the moment, that it begs the question: Why now—more… Continue Reading →

January 30, 2019 at 01:33PM by CWC Before the birth of athleisure, sweatpants were reserved for sick days, lazy Sundays, and evenings at home after a day in denim, trousers, or a dress. Your preferred pair was likely an oversized, hip-slung, fleece-y-on-the-inside pair that would never cross the threshold of your front door but felt… Continue Reading →

January 29, 2019 at 11:06AM by CWC In my opinion, January is the most wonderful time of the year. Yes, cold weather, short days, and minimal sunlight all get me down. The glow of Christmas is gone and my skin has never been drier. But none of that matters to me, because it’s officially Girl… Continue Reading →

January 29, 2019 at 08:12AM by CWC When I first opened my inbox and saw an email about Serenbe—a wellness community located 30 minutes outside Atlanta that that promotes an active lifestyle, face-to-face interaction, organic food, and eco-friendly living—my mind instantly conjured a ’60s-era hippie-dippie commune where people live with the sole mission of spreading peace… Continue Reading →

January 18, 2019 at 11:54AM by CWC With the meteoric rise of athleisure and the technological advances that have been made over the last few years, getting dressed for a workout class has never been more fun. Instead of just grabbing whatever clean spandex I’ve got handy, I now have the pleasure of putting together an… Continue Reading →

January 18, 2019 at 11:03AM by CWC Michelle Obama is my everything guru. Whether she’s doling out advice on how to be your best self, revealing how to get the most out of your arm workouts, or showing off how to slay a pair of $4,000 sparkly boots, you better believe I am paying damn… Continue Reading →

January 15, 2019 at 11:41AM by CWC During a super-sweaty workout, gym clothes can easily become a breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and mildew. (That might sound dramatic and icky, but it’s true.) And when you’re trying to avoid the cost of dry cleaning your winter coat (or washing it yourself on the regular), this… Continue Reading →

January 14, 2019 at 03:51PM by CWC Whether you’re commuting, sightseeing, or exercising, long hours spent walking can do a number on your body. From tired soles to achy backs, you may be surprised by the damage that such a low-impact activity can cause—which is exactly why you need good shoes. And while walking shoes… Continue Reading →

January 12, 2019 at 10:03AM by CWC Whether you’re a doctor, nurse, teacher, waitress, barista, or busy mom of toddlers, there’s one job descriptor you all share—prolonged standing. But before you resign to the pain and suffering that endless hours of being on your feet can cause, um, don’t. It doesn’t have to be that… Continue Reading →

January 12, 2019 at 03:45AM by CWC   Not to gross you out, but after spending the season all bundled up, your cozy scarf, hat, and gloves are most likely a little, um…unsanitary. Other clothing items that come into direct contact with your skin get washed regularly, but some winter accessories will never meet the… Continue Reading →

January 11, 2019 at 07:52AM by CWC Traditionally, this time of year, I find myself shopping for things for the coming months. Some are summer staples at steep discounts, while others are impulse buys that I’ll literally never put on my body. (It’s the reason I have six unworn sarongs.) But this year, in an effort… Continue Reading →

January 09, 2019 at 02:15PM by CWC Now that the weather has officially taken a turn for the frigid, most of us are in for a few long months of freezing cold everything…including our feet. (Except for those of you reading this in Hawaii, in which case I’m extremely jealous.) The chill that seeps deep… Continue Reading →

January 09, 2019 at 01:06PM by CWC   New Years resolutions season is upon us, and every workout studio I’ve set foot in within the last two weeks—from no-frills gyms to fancy spin boutiques—has had two things in common: a sign boasting a “new year, new you!” mantra (meh), and a call to action challenging… Continue Reading →
