Our fellow Gloss editor Samantha Escobar recently moved to New York. Unfortunately, no one warned her about bringing really comfortable shoes (New Yorkers walk a lot). For many recent transplants, all those city blocks amount to a shitload of new calluses and blisters–and a constant hum of discomfort from the feet. Anyway, we’ve been there–so we decided to help her out and compile a list of some attractive, walkable flats perfect for all that Springtime galavanting about… on the cheap.
Without further ado: cute flats under $100. More
Hey, it’s really nice outside in New York this week! Colder climes everywhere are just now coming out of the frost and even verging on lightweight coat weather… which is to say, it may be time for a Spring trench. The versatile, practical middle ground between winter coats and, uh, tank tops is also one of those eternally cool wardrobe essentials. So, we put together a bunch we like at a moderate price (plus one porny aspirational Burberry, of course).
Thus, cute Spring trench coats in a variety of colors and shapes, all under $200. More
Spring is here and everyone is sloughing off their Winter essentials (coats, scarves, leather everything). Although we’re currently super into those crazy acid-trip prints we fawned over last week, another way to transition into Spring is stripes. Yes, we got more than a little sick of stripes last year, but now we’re ready to do it all over again. We just can’t quit them.
Ahead: bold, bright, graphic striped fashion for the assertive lady on a budget. Nothing over $150. More
That’s all? More
In a world of diffusion lines dropping left and right, H&M is bucking convention and unleashing a new higher priced line. & Other Stories will aim to compete with upper midrange retailers like Zara. If paying more for polyester clothes … More
The weather is shitty.
A nice way to pass the time when you can’t go outside is online shopping (well, online window shopping). At the moment, we’re interested in ankle boots of the Winter-friendly variety (no stillettos, no slender heels)–basically, closed toe leather boots for clomping down slick streets. Bonus points if they liven up drab winter staples like puffer jackets and scarves. More

Living in New York City makes it pretty easy to track trends: first you see it on runways (or fashion editors and models off duty), then you see it on famous people. Next, it’s on personal style bloggers. All of a sudden, it’s clogging window displays at Zara, H&M and Steve Madden. Then you see it fucking everywhere. Who else is sick to death of neon? Printed pants? Sneaker wedges? Presenting the 10 most over-exposed, played-out trends of right now. More

The New York Times‘ lifestyle pieces have a reputation for occasionally stating the obvious–as Brian Williams once famously noticed. These past two weeks, however, have given us a delightful one-two punch of Times‘ discoveries no one needed. More
We hate the idea of spending hundreds on a purse 1) you have to hold, 2) doesn’t carry much besides a credit card and keys and 3) you only need every once in a while. However, when that once in a while comes along–nice dinners, fancy work functions, charity events before we’re kicked out–our trusty, everyday, carry-all satchel won’t cut it. So, here’s our compromise: 15 cool, versatile clutches that won’t give you sticker shock. More
All right, everyone: it’s really cold. Office talk has turned from sunscreen and soothing mosquito bites to warding off dry skin and scarf-tying techniques (we’re not saving the world here). Anyway, all of us seem to be in the market for a cool, stylish and–most important!–warm winter coat. Here’s 20. More
Fast fashion retailer Zara (owned by Spanish clothing retailer Inditex SA) is under investigation for slave labor practices and conditions at sweatshops in São Paulo. A number of shops were raided by government investigators, who “confiscated garments with the Zara label.” The charges go that 16 indiviuals were making $130 to $150 per month and working 12-hour days in “unhygienic” conditions.
