41 Fashionable Things From Amazon
A bow-backed babydoll one could reasonably assume was from Anthropologie or J. Crew. It just screams, "I'm going to the Hamptons this weekend." An adorable tennis skort that will have you leaping for joy — without flashing anyone. Why? Because this amazing piece comes with A POCKET! A sheer lace-style top perfect for transitional weather *and* events. You can wear it under a dress or overalls for extra texture during the day or over a dark bralette for a sultry look at night. A pair of trendy mesh ballet flats that bear a striking resemblance to a certain Alaïa pair, but without you needing to take an extra mortgage out. Or a pair of mesh jelly sandals because I will not let you spend almost $800 on jellies. With these, you can try out the trend, let your tootsies breathe, and shout "Row, shmow!" A swimsuit with ruched sides and drawstrings that allow you to customize your fit, sort of like a corset. Reviewers like that the strings can change how much coverage you get, so you can adjust the look throughout the day. A pull-on midi skirt so you can finally pull off THE Instagram fashionista look: tied tee, chunky chain, Baggu crescent bag, sneaks, and this amazing skirt. And once you're sick of that look, you can style it a million other ways, from sandals to big boots. A comfy long-sleeve/short set that's the closest you're getting to wearing pajamas to the group hang. The stripes are SO cute, I wouldn't blame you if you wore these from bed to brunch. A pair of rhinestone cutout jeans you may have seen worn by a certain pop star at a certain football game. OK, not this exact pair — we're not all millionaires — but close enough! A chic lil' shoulder purse so you can feel as effortlessly cool as a Parisian without any of the risks that come with living in Paris — getting Ratatouille'd, for example. A lightweight crewneck cardigan sweater you can count on to keep you warm in the mornings and evenings when the sun isn't quite ready for the job. I would say this is a great choice for chilly offices, but we all know we need a full-on parka for that type of tundra. 🥶 A simple, reliable tank with a fun V-neck that spices up an otherwise normal basic. Despite its low price, customers are happy with the quality and fit. One reviewer said it feels "soft like satin or silk." Or if you'd prefer a crewneck (and maybe a fun pattern), a tank you'll be glad to have for every grocery store run, outdoor dinner, or intense mini golf game. Wear as a tunic with leggings, tuck it into some high-waisted pants, or — you know, what? You can kinda style this anyway you want. It's that versatile. A puffy sleeve top so darling, even teddy bears will get jealous. The square neckline is basically like a giant spotlight for your favorite necklace. Chunky ankle boots in a timeless sillouette to give any outfit a little edge and a lot of comfort. The elastic sides make it easy to throw these on, so I foresee these being your go-to boots. Breathable and machine-washable pointed-toe flats with stretchy knit uppers that'll have you tap dancing with glee when you try them on. When your dancing shoes start to get dingy, just toss 'em in the wash. A beautiful tennis bracelet no one has to know is actually made with zirconia. You just need to decide if you want yellow, white, or rose gold plating — or OK, all three. A layered necklace set with three classic chains — herringbone, curb, and rope — that'll elevate any outfit, even your dog-walking uniform. Thanks to their gold plating, the necklaces are hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant, making them a great budget option when solid gold is out of the question. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress that's the closest you can get to wearing a nightgown outside while still looking ready for date night. Reviewers say that this fabric is not only comparable to a certain Skims dress, it might actually be even better. And a scoop-neck tee offering the same buttery softness as the beloved Skims top. Bonus: This one comes in more colors than it costs. A midi corset dress if you love the House of CB Carmen dress but not the price. ($225?!) You can still enjoy a cinched back, front tie, and all the compliments of the real deal. A quilted floral jacket perfect for this unpredictable summer weather. (60 degrees in New York in JUNE?!) Can't complain about chilly mornings when it's an excuse to wear something this cute. A pair of crossover flared leggings providing a silhouette so enticing, you'll find yourself getting distracted every time you see your reflection. If the 5,800+ happy reviewers are to be believed, these pants are so comfortable, you'll be asking questions like, "can I wear these to a wedding?" And a super-soft longline sports bra some have compared to Lululemon's Align tank top for an Equinox-level workout look at a Planet Fitness price. Reviewers say it offers a little less compression, so you can wear it on casual days, too. A tie-front cropped shirt perfect for making your vacation pics even more memorable. Remember that time we went to the boardwalk and we couldn't go more than 10 steps because people kept complimenting you? A bodycon pencil dress because you can alwaaaays use another LBD. Whether it's formal or casual, it all comes down to the right accessories — love a do-everything piece! A large satin scarf that's so versatile, it'll likely be named "most worn" by You magazine. You can style it as a scarf, top, belt — or tie it around your bag when your tote wants to accessorize, too. High-waisted palazzo trousers because they offer all the comfort of sweats while still serving up major voted-best-dressed-in-high-school looks. A denim pencil skirt that goes with pretty much anything but is still special enough to get a ton of "where did you get that?"s. A stretchy faux-wrap tee if you're stuck in a T-shirt rut. You can still wear tees — this one is just a step in a new direction. A pair of retro-style oval sunglasses so similar to Miu Miu, you could possibly trick friends into thinking you splurged on a $489 pair. Just be sure to correct them before they expect you to pay for lunch. A lantern-sleeve mini that says "Cinderella on a casual day" to me. Just look at those romantic puff sleeves and back ribbon that was definitely tied by birds! A tiered maxi skirt seen on many a Pinterest board. This dreamy chiffon number is double-layered, so it isn't see-through or likely to blow up in the wind. A lacey corset top that is basically screaming, "hey, can you take a picture of me?" Whether it's you at the trendy new cocktail bar or just picking up a coffee order, the likes are gonna come roooollllingg in. A square-neck cami proving that less is more. Pair it with some jeans and start aura farming! Reviewers rave that this basic feels high-end, citing the super soft, double-layered fabric and amazing fit. A cute faux-wrap dress for basically all occasions. One flight attendant says this dress is great for packing on trips, thanks to its lightweight material! Strappy chunky heels perfect for tearing it up on the dance floor this wedding season. Despite the solid, budget-friendly price, reviewers confirm there's no painful break-in period. A one-shouldered dress that's slightly toga-like, which gives you the perfect excuse to declare this your Italian summer. Someone needs to order you an olive plate and Aperol Spritz STAT. A pair of high-waisted biker shorts you should buy now before summer is in full swing and you're staring at your dresser wondering what you can put on that you won't sweat through in 90 seconds. These shorts + giant T-shirt = summer uniform. A crescent bag that perfectly straddles the line between formal and casual. I can easily see you wearing this cutie every darn day! A cross-strap bikini totally worth the unusual tan lines you might get from wearing it. Picturing you and this swimsuit taking long romantic walks on the beach. :')

At an Artist's Apartment in Brooklyn, a Creative Filipino Feast to Celebrate AAPI Month
When I arrived at Eny Lee Parker's apartment building in Fort Greene on the ceramicist and designer had just returned from her studio, pushing two carts with matching conical sculptures atop each one. The cartoonishly scaled pieces are floor-standing candlestick holders, she explained, for the evening's dinner party. Together we pushed the carts down the hallway to her apartment, where Woldy Reyes, Parker's co-host and the evening's chef, exuberantly greeted us with the accent of a British aristocrat's butler. It was a cute and playful welcome, but it turns out the accent is actually a funny affectation—a tic—he occasionally takes on when he's anxious, said Reyes, who is American and first-generation Filipino. As someone who's an infrequent, often self-conscious host, it was endearing (and even a bit of a relief) to witness a seasoned professional exhibiting nervousness before his own dinner party. Eny Lee Parker, Woldy Reyes, and Tara Thomas. Photo: Lawrence De Leon Since launching his catering business and brand Woldy Kusina in 2016, Reyes, 38, has quickly become a go-to caterer for New York's fashion and art worlds. His creative menus showcasing fresh, seasonal ingredients and visually inspiring presentations have attracted clients such as Alaïa, and Giorgio Armani. Last month, Reyes debuted his first cookbook, In The Kusina, featuring plant-based Filipino recipes that nostalgically nod to the food he grew up eating around his family's dinner table in Southern California. 'Tonight's dinner is in celebration of the cookbook, and a lot of the people coming are close friends who also contributed to the book in some way,' said Reyes, looking on as Tara Thomas, a model and fellow chef who was assisting for the night, put the final touches on the table's place settings and decor. Bitter melons and other unusually shaped green gourds fashioned into candlestick holders were set alongside tall stalks of blossoming alliums. The plates, meanwhile, were made by Parker. 'Tara, for instance, helped with the creative production, and my friend Arsh [Raziudden] who works at Christie's, also did two illustrations in the book,' he added.

Stylist Roz Kaur On The Liberating Energy That Only Comes With Age
True beauty reveals itself not in spite of time, but because of it. Roz Kaur is part of a chic collective of women we celebrate in our May 2025 issue, each sharing the rituals that sustain them, the challenges that have shaped them, and what products and practices make them feel their most beautiful Indian-born, US-based stylist Roz Kaur has spent over 20 years making women look good, first at and Anthropologie, now through her Instagram style lessons. At 58, she wears crisp white shirts with patiala pants finishing her look with her trademark glasses. Her talent lies in highlighting that the best outfits come from living, not just following trends. What's been the most unexpected aspect of ageing? How liberating it feels. The world often tells us to fear ageing, but in truth, it's where I found my power. The challenge has been unlearning the narratives that equate youth with worth – and rewriting them with wisdom, depth, and confidence. How would you describe your evolution over time? I've become softer with myself and stronger in my boundaries. I no longer chase trends or people – I stay rooted in what feels authentic. My perspective has shifted from needing to prove myself to simply wanting to be myself. What truly defines beauty – in yourself or others? True beauty is presence. It's when someone shows up fully as themselves – unapologetically and with grace. In myself, I feel most beautiful when I'm grounded and at ease, not trying to perform, just being. What gives you the confidence to share your story on social media? Because I know someone out there might need to see what confidence looks like at 58. I share so women know they're not alone, that reinvention is always possible, and that style doesn't belong to any age – it belongs to anyone with the courage to claim it. What three beauty products can you not live without? Aveda Damage Remedy for keeping my hair healthy – it has been a ritual for years. Caudalie Premier Cru The Eye Cream – rest in a bottle. And the Westman Atelier foundation stick; it enhances rather than covers. What's your signature scent? Chanel Les Exclusifs 31 Rue Cambon. It's elegant, mysterious, and quietly commanding. It's like walking into a room and owning it without saying a word. What beauty treatments do you love? A good facial with lymphatic drainage, regular threading to keep my brows crisp, and dry brushing – beauty begins with circulation and care from within. Whose style – real or fictional – has inspired you most? Édith Piaf. There's something hauntingly beautiful about her. She was raw, expressive, and lived fully. Her voice had style and her style had soul. What achievement or moment in your life are you proudest of? Taking the leap to work for myself at 58. I walked away from stability to pursue passion – and it's the boldest, most fulfilling decision I've ever made. What advice would you give to your younger self? Don't shrink to make others comfortable. Every inch of you – your boldness, your softness, your style – is worthy. Keep showing up. Your most treasured possession? My mother's gold bangle. It holds her stories, her strength, and every time I wear it, I feel wrapped in her love. How would you describe yourself? Unapologetically evolving. Describe your perfect day? Morning tea in silence, wrapped in a robe. A long walk, maybe a vintage market stroll. An afternoon shoot where I get to play with layers and light. Evenings are for chai, music, and journaling in candlelight. Which chapter of your life feels the most beautiful to you? This one. Right now. Because I've never felt more like myself. And that, to me, is the most beautiful thing. Roz's Top 3 Beauty Products From Harper's Bazaar Arabia May 2025 Issue.
