J. Crew is having a huge sale on linen just in time to revamp your summer wardrobe
Sure, you want your warm-weather wardrobe to be fashionable, but it also needs to keep you cool. That's one of the reasons flip flops are such a vacation staple. So, whatever you put on your body, it can't be made from materials that feel hot and suffocating. That's where linen comes in — the go-to summer fabric is breathable and looks elegantly chic. Linen is made from the flax plant, making it a completely natural material known for its durability and lightweight properties. The material is so popular that has an entire section of its site dedicated to it, and right now several pieces in the brand's Linen Shop are on sale. To help you shop, I combed through the 155 items in Linen Shop to find the very best deals. Check them out below. Barrel leg jeans are having a moment, and now you can pick them up in a linen blend for summer. This pair has a roomier leg that tapers slightly at the ankle. They are made from a linen and lyocell blend and feature a button closure and belt loops. They're available in sizes 00 to 24 and come in three colors — black, hazy hydrangea and natural. A great staple for work, this long-sleeve top is made from 100% linen. It has a V-neckline and is gathered at the collar and sleeves. The top comes in five colors — including neutrals like black and brighter shades like red — and is available in sizes up to 3X. Throw on sneakers and wear this dress for weekend errands or pair it with heels for a dressier look. It has short sleeves that hit just above the elbow and two patch pockets for a military-inspired vibe. It also has a removable slip lining and comes in regular and petite sizing. This short is a popular style for and they make it in a variety of materials and patterns — including this red and white striped linen version. The waistband has belt loops and a flat front, but in the back, it has a bit of elastic for a comfortable fit. The shorts have a 3-inch inseam and have sleek slit pockets. They are available in sizes XXS through 3X. This breezy top has a loose fit to keep you cool and features stitch detailing around the neck for visual interest.

The best bra we tested this year is up to 60% off just in time for Valentine's Day
We independently evaluate the products we review. When you buy via links on our site, we may receive compensation. Read more about how we vet products and deals. Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and the sexy holiday wouldn't be complete without gorgeous, show-stopping lingerie. Whether you are looking for a way to spice up a romantic evening or just want to treat yourself to something pretty, you're in luck. The bra we deemed the Best of 2025, Natori's Feathers Plunge Bra, is currently on sale across a number of retailers. Normally priced at $68, you can grab certain colors for as little as $27 right now — that's up to 60% off. But you'll have to hurry, some styles and sizes are already selling out, so be sure to snap up your faves while you still can. The Natori Feathers Plunge T-Shirt Bra is highly rated everywhere it's sold (it has over 4,000 five-star reviews at Nordstrom alone) and I can confirm it lives up to the hype. After testing dozens of bras, this one is by far my favorite. When I first saw it, I was skeptical that the pretty lace option would provide the all-day comfort and support I expect from a T-shirt bra, but I was shocked by just how comfy it was. It is the epitome of fashion meets function. The partially lined bra has a feminine lace trim that gives it a more fashion-forward feel, contoured plunge cups that give my bust a flattering shape and boost and elastic-lined edges that keep the bra securely in place without digging. I typically try to avoid underwire bras, but I barely noticed them in this style — that's how comfortable it is. I love the plunging neckline, and while I was worried the lace would show underneath my clothes, it was unnoticeable. The adjustable straps were thin yet sturdy, and the lace and mesh were soft and comfortable even after hours of wear. Even better, the width of the straps increases as the sizes go up to give larger busts the support they need. If you've been wanting to try it but haven't wanted to spend nearly $70, now's your chance. Just in time for Valentine's Day, several colors are on sale for as little as $27 a pop. Here are all the Natori Feather Plunge Bra deals we've found on sale today. You can save the most — up to 60% off — at Nordstrom right now. There are four gorgeous colors marked down; coal, lavender, primrose and French blue, but sizes are selling out quickly. Amazon has a large selection of styles and sizes available with certain options up to 50% off right now. Just remember discounts vary by color and size. Zappos has the chic undergarment for up to 31% off. While they have a variety of hues on sale (including this sexy dark forest green) certain sizes are quite limited. So, if you see your size in your preferred color — act fast! While the discounted colors available are more limited than other retailers (there are only four), Bare Necessities does have the most sizes still in stock anywhere we've seen. Of course, the brand's own website has certain styles marked down too — up to 50% off. But most of the sale styles have limited stock, so you'll have to be quick to snag one of your own.

Color your eyes? It's the new trend in cosmetic procedures
MIAMI - There's a new trend in the world of cosmetic procedures. It's one that permanently changes your eye color. Videos of Kerato's eye color surgeries have millions of views on social media. CBS News Miami's Morgan Rynor went into the operating room to see how the color-change procedure works. She met Army veteran and grandfather John Reyes at their new clinic in Miami. He traveled from Northern California to South Florida to have the procedure after seeing videos of people who have had the procedure on Instagram. "A couple of years ago, I went through a terrible divorce, and I put on a lot of weight. I wasn't happy with myself. I didn't like the way I felt, didn't like the way I looked," Reyes said. The 30-minute-long procedure is done while the patient is awake. Dr. Alexander Movshovich is a certified ophthalmologist and clinical professor at Cornell University's School of Medicine. He said the procedure has been around for decades in Europe. "In the United States, I started it five and a half years ago," Dr. Movshovich said. The surgery starts off with a laser that puts microbubbles of air between the two layers inside of the cornea. "So, laser does it within 10 seconds," Dr. Movshovich told Rynor. The separation of the layers gives Dr. Movshovich a place to put pigmentation. He creates a tiny slit, and then uses instruments that he created and patented to insert the color. Patients can choose from aqua green, hazelnut, honey gold, French blue, magical grey, olive and jade. For Reyes, he's happy with the results of his procedure. "For me, it does make me feel more confident, you know, and it's something that's, I think it's important. And I think for the longest time, it's been like a taboo for guys to do stuff like this. And I've always said, hey, if you've got the time and you've got the finances and you could do a procedure as a man, go for it," Reyes said. Reyes told CBS News Miami the procedure didn't hurt. He just felt a slight pressure. The American Academy of Ophthalmology does warn against the procedure, officially known as keratopigmentation. They say the procedure is not worth your good vision. "The risks really have to be weighed against the benefits and the alternatives, and given that it's a cosmetic procedure, the American Academy of Ophthalmology would recommend using a very low-risk colored contact lens alternative instead," said Dr. Ami Vadada, a spokesperson for the organization. "I think there's a path to the American Academy of Ophthalmology recommending the procedure, but I think at this time, the data is just not there to support it for cosmetic reasons." Dr. Movschovich admits there are some risks. "There is no procedure that's 100% safe. There's some percentage … it should be a reasonable percentage … the percentage of it's not complications. It's like you know, side effects," he said. Dr. Movschovich said those side effects include light sensitivity and some discomfort. But he said it's temporary, lasting less than 72 hours. "But all in all, we don't have any cases of decreased vision. We don't have the cases of blindness," he said. A procedure like this costs $12,000. Because it's purely for aesthetics, it's not covered by insurance. Dr. Movshovich says the color has lasted for decades for people in Europe who had the procedure. And technically, the color change is reversible. But it requires another procedure that's not as easy as the original procedure, and there are more risks the second time around.
