Why Nearly Every Celeb Swears by These Under-$100 Jeans

Bobby Schuessler
Oct 16, 2018

We constantly turn to our favorite celebrities for style inspiration. While A-listers like Gigi Hadid and Victoria Beckham consistently step out in fashion-forward ensembles on the red carpet, their outfits are often made up of high-end designer finds rather than affordable items we can actually incorporate into our own wardrobes. But believe it or not, when it comes to everyday denim, Hadid, Beckham, and more celebs seem to be unanimously on board with one specific budget-friendly pair: Levi’s 501 jeans.

The denim style, which first hit the market in 1873 (yes, they’re almost 145 years old!), have been a staple for decades because of the quality and classic silhouette. These days, 501s have evolved into an offering of many different fits, washes, and colors, but one key factor remains the same —most of the pairs ring in at just $98. Curious about how your favorite celebrities rock these jeans? Keep scrolling for primo style inspo, and shop a variety of 501s as well.

8 "Charming" Old Man Baby Names Perfect For Your Little Guy

Baby name trends will always come and go, but some classic picks will just never go out of style. These monikers, occasionally called "old man" names, stand the test of time for a reason. They're strong, vintage, and sometimes hold historical significance.

So, if you're welcoming a baby boy into your family soon, you can't go wrong with an old man baby name. Here are our top picks that are packed with character.

Scroll to see all the old man baby names we're loving right now!

1. Walter

Carlos Santiago

With German roots, Walter is a compelling name that's derived from the Old High German Walthari. It combines the elements "walt," which means "power," and "hari," meaning "warrior." This gives Walter the meaning of "commander of the army."

Its regal sound and commanding symbolism make Walter the perfect fit for a boy who's destined to be a future leader.

2. Franklin

George Pak

This distinguished name has deep historical roots and was most famously carried by the former American president and founding father, Benjamin Franklin.

It originates from the Middle English word "frankeleyn" and was originally used as a surname, meaning "freeman" or "freeholder." Franklin carries a sense of independence, intellect, and hard work, all qualities that most parents hope to instill in their little ones.

3. Leroy

Norman Milwood

French in origin, Leroy is bold and actually means "the king." This name hit its height of popularity during the mid-nineteenth century, but to this day, it continues to exude strength and authority.

Many expectant parents across the globe keep choosing this moniker for their newest additions because it's a timeless choice that feels both distinguished and approachable.

4. Grady

Ivan Samkov

With Irish roots, Grady means "noble" and "renowned" and has a rugged, adventurous vibe. It might make you think of an outdoorsy little boy with a curious spirit who's always seeking out new experiences.

Grady has traditionally been considered a boy's name, but in recent years, it's been used as a gender-neutral choice, too.

5. Kenneth

Foden Nguyen

Kenneth is a name with deep Scottish ties, as it was famously borne by the first King of Scotland. Then, author Sir Walter Scott popularized Kenneth outside of the nation in his 1825 novel The Talisman.

More recently, the name became a household one when Barbie's boyfriend, Ken, was introduced to children everywhere in 1959. Kenneth actually holds two appealing meanings, "good looking" and "fire born."

6. Preston

Larbigno

Preston is English in origin and means "priest's town" or "priest's estate," offering a nice blend of history and charm. This name is also associated with a historic town in Northern England that was known for playing a significant role in the Industrial Revolution.

With an air of sophistication and a connection to faith, Preston is a great choice for parents who want their little boy to stand out.

7. Casper

Henley Design Studio

While Casper might call to mind the friendly ghost that graced our TV screens during the '90s, it actually dates back to the Old Testament. This cute name has Persian origins and means "treasurer bearer," which couldn't be more appropriate for the newest gift in your life.

Casper is derived from the Chaldean word "gizbar," meaning "treasurer," and can be spelled in multiple ways, such as Caspar or Kaspar.

8. Harold

Becerra Govea Photo

Finally, Harold is derived from Old English, Germanic, and Old Norse variations, all of which carry the strong meaning of "army ruler" or "heroic leader."

Historically, this name was favored by Scandinavian settlers and royals throughout England, Norway, and Denmark. Despite its interesting history, Harold is surprisingly underused today, making it a distinctive option for parents who want a name that's classic and still a bit unique.

So while I wait for your invitation, here are all the adorable spring wedding guest dresses I'm adding to my cart this year!

Scroll to see our favorite spring wedding guest dresses for 2025!

Mac Duggal

Multicolor Strapless Brocade Floral Gown With Ruffle Hem

This gorgeous little number just is spring, from the dainty bright colors to the beautiful flower detailing. Plus, the warmer weather is perfect for showing a little shoulder! This is definitely my favorite of the bunch.

Lulus

Nadra Light Blue Satin Jacquard One-Shoulder Maxi Dress

I've been obsessed with jacquard lately, and it works so well with this powder blue. The balance of the one shoulder and the side slit on either side of the dress adds the perfect symmetry to what may be considered asymmetrical look, too!

Anthropologie

BHLDN Selma Halter-Neck Satin Maxi Dress

Big fan of How to Lose a Guy In 10 Days? This is the dress for you. Plus, Timothée Chalamet reminded us how amazing butter yellow still looks on the Oscars red carpet this year!

Nordstrom

After Six Pleated Cap Sleeve Charmeuse Gown

Speaking of the Oscars red carpet, Andrew Garfield made brown look effortlessly chic on the carpet this year. (Am I taking my spring wedding guest dress inspiration from two guys? Yep — inspiration can come from anywhere, y'all!)

Anthropologie

BHLDN Tessa Halter V-Neck High-Shine Satin Maxi Dress

Sage green is seriously the perfect color for a spring soirée! I love the lily details down the front of the dress, and the satin fabric just looks so light and chic.

Banana Republic

Banana Republic Twisted Shoulder Maxi Dress

Ever since I saw Meg in Hercules, I knew I wanted the perfect slouchy Greek-inspired dress. This Banana Republic maxi dress is giving all that and then some!

Mac Duggal

Mac Duggal Black Crepe Sleeveless Beaded V Neck Gown With Bow

I know black doesn't exactly exude spring, but I think the floral, beaded embellishments really take this dress there. As a New Yorker, I basically wear black all the time, so it's nice to have an option that actually suits the season!

Adrianna Papell

Adrianna Papell Foiled Mermaid Gown With Halter Neckline

Okay, you may think, "Hm...this is basically the butter yellow dress you dropped in above," but you would be wrong. The foiled pattern on this dress add a unique elegance to the look that definitely differentiates it from the other gown. Plus, a halter top is so springy — I can't help but have more than one in this roundup!

Lulus

Lulus Gemmi Light Blue Satin Jacquard Drop Waist Maxi Dress

Drop waist dresses are EVERYTHING right now. So pairing that with the light blue jacquard I already love so much? Yeah, you've got a real winner with this gown.

Anthropologie

V. Chapman Vera Ruffle-Strap Corset Side-Slit Midi Dress

Corsets are still very much in right now. I love how dainty and delicate this dress looks, while still being a darker navy blue. Again, it's giving a great option for the girlies who don't exactly love a spring pastel, but still wanna adopt a lighter feel to their look!

Abercrombie

The A&F Giselle Drop-Waist Maxi Dress

Butter yellow + a drop waist + a strapless neckline? That's a recipe for elegance you just can't pass up! I can totally picture dancing the night away in this stunning pleated skirt!

10 Low-To-No Caffeine Coffee Alternatives For All Energy & No Buzz

My love for making latte recipes has come to a halt with the news I need to balance my hormones. I could curse the sky for this minor inconvenience, but I've been testing low-to-no caffeine coffee alternatives to curb my sadness. Thanks to Google, I've found 10 of the best products ever created.

I know this sounds far-fetched, but I think I may opt to drink them more often than relying on things full of acidic caffeine!

Scroll to find the best low-to-no caffeine coffee alternatives that boosts your energy without being harsh on your body.

Low Caffeine Coffee Alternatives 

Live Conscious

Live Conscious Beyond Brew Vanilla Latte

Starting off with the first coffee alternative I've tried, Live Conscious' Beyond Brew Vanilla Latte is high on my list because almost forgot I wasn't drinking my Nescaf Gold Instant Coffeelatte mix. My favorite thing about it is how easy it is on my tummy. Coffee usually gives me an extreme case of gas cramps, but this doesn't. I think it's because it's filled with ingredients like turkey tail and other probiotics!

Everyday Dose

Everyday Dose Mushroom Coffee

Next up is Everyday Dose's Mushroom Coffee! Made with 80% less coffee than other brands, it's way better than Dr. Robotnik's recipes in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It's easy on digestive and nervous systems because it's full of ingredients like collagen, chaga, and lion's mane. So, you get the boost of energy without the weird jitters and pained run to the bathroom!

MUD/WTR

MUD/WTR Matcha Starter Kit

Is Matcha coffee-adjacent? It depends on who you ask, but it's technically not. I just love drinking it when I feel like I've exhausted my go-to latte drink. MUD/WTR's starter kit only has 55g of caffeine in it which is a better alternative than your go-to coffee drink. Trust me!

No Caffeine Coffee Alternatives 

World Wide Botanicals

World Wide Botanicals French Chicory Root Brew-Like Coffee

Not only is this coffee alternative caffeine free, but it's not acidic either! I especially love that how the chicory breaks down into a healthy prebiotic that helps the right kind of bacteria flourish in your digestive tract. Knowing that most illnesses begin in our stomachs, I love how this promotes a healthy version of what coffee lovers typically drink.

Anthony's Goods

Anthony's Goods Instant Chicory Root

Do you need another reason to drink chicory root? Not really, but Anthony's Goods has another alternative that's just as good as World Wide Botanicals' version. Besides being caffeine-free, this product's also gluten-free and has non-GMO properties. The taste is just an extra benefit!

Rasa Koffee

Rasa Koffee Original Adaptogenic Mushroom Coffee

What I want? More mushroom coffee ASAP! This vegan product is also great for anyone who's following a Whole 30 or Ayurvedic diet. It has 13 natural herbs in it and helps you feel less stressed with each cup you drink. How's that for an incentive to reach for coffee alternatives?

Walmart

Cafix All Natural Instant Beverage Crystals

Calling all barley lovers! I've found instant coffee crystals that are 100% caffeine-free! Amazingly enough, Cafix has figured out how to leave out the ingredient that makes some of us experience a post-coffee crash and I love that. I will say it's a little pricey for Instant Coffee, but you don't need to use that much.

Teeccino

Teeccino Turkey Tail Astragalus — Toasted Maple

The name 'Turkey Tail' may sound hilarious, but this blend is so good it's not funny. It's another acid-free, pre-biotic drink that doesn't taste like raw mushrooms (so important) and it brews like your favorite drink. Not bad.

Banyan Botanicals

Banyan Bitter & Bold Coffee Alternative With Chicory & Dandelion

If you don't need a ton of sugar or caramel syrup in your coffee, you'll enjoy drinking this chicory and dandelion mix. It a;so has adaptogens and prebiotics for a bold flavor you'll enjoy before a busy day. Plus, the fact it's caffeine-free is another added bonus.

Sip Herbals

Sip Herbals Peppermint Mocha Superfood Coffee Alternative

Did you really think I'd forget to include something that tastes festive? I couldn't leave this coffee alternative off the list because it combines "antioxidant-rich carob and soothing peppermint" together for a taste that feels like someone's throwing a Christmas party in your mouth.
