Call it an occupational hazard, but I do a lot of online shopping at work. Whether I'm researching for a story or simply perusing my favorite retailers, I get a lot of ideas on ways I can upgrade my capsule wardrobe and beauty routine—and by ideas, I mean trendy fashion pieces and luxe makeup, skincare, and haircare staples. But because I can't buy everything I have my eye on, I rounded up the best fashion and beauty finds that I can snag on sale.
My favorites include everything I need to upgrade my spring wardrobe and beauty cabinet. I'm talking about trendy new sneakers, a breezy linen dress, an eyeshadow stick that's basically my hack for the perfect everyday eye look, and more. I even found a pair of metallic flats similar to the one that Katie Holmes wore for less than $100 at Shopbop.
