10 Gola Shoes That Rival Fashion’s Favorite Sneakers

Gola Shoes

Gola is the English shoe brand you need to know about, if you don't already. They specialize in sporty soccer-esque sneakers and shoes, which look cheekily similar to the super-popular Adidas Sambas and Veja Volleys. Fitted with side stripes and plenty of playful colors, these 10 Gola shoes are my absolute favorites for riding the current footwear wave.

Gola

Harrier Suede Sneakers

This bold yellow colorway is essential if you want your looks to stand out. The sleek suede outer is matched by leather accents along the side in a two-stripe design, plus, these shoes flaunt a classic low-profile rubber sole that supports your every step without getting in the way.

The Harrier Suede Sneakers go for $100.

Gola

Daytona Blaze Sneakers

Metallic sneakers are one of my favorite shoe trends of this year, and I love how nonchalant these are, even if they are a bit shiny. These sneaks get a good boost from the foam heel, mimicking some of New Balance's most-loved silhouettes. The color palette boasts a light lavender and a pleasing lemon-y yellow to keep things interesting.

The Daytona Blaze Sneakers are shoppable for $95.

Gola

Bullet Pure Sneakers

Doesn't this white-on-black colorway look familiar? These sleek sneakers are undoubtedly retro, and I love the mixed materials on the outer layer. The pink tab along the back side infuses your look with a touch of femininity, which is always nice!

The Bullet Pure Sneakers go for $95.

Gola

Elan Sneakers

The Elan Sneakers are super similar in shape to the Bullet Pure Sneakers, except they're all suede. The gum sole gives a very old school vibe, which honors Gola's reputation as a go-to shoe brand since 1905. This red, blue, and white coloration is definitely one you can wear with anything, too!

The Elan Sneakers sell for $110.

Gola

Challenge High Sneakers

If you prefer high-tops, these are the sneaks for you. The Gola Challenges boast a platformed sole to perfectly match the height of the shoe, adding some extra oomph to any ensemble. The white leather outer is an easy match with most colors!

The Challenge High Sneakers cost $140.

Gola

Tornado Sneakers

How cute is this green and pink combo?! The Tornado Sneakers deliver a casual silhouette with a playful palette, and I am very here for it. These give a stylish edge with the zig-zagged rubber sole that's just as practical as it is eye-catching. You'll get some good durability from these shoes since the upper is made from heavy weave nylon.

The Tornado Sneakers are $100.

Gola

Orchid Platform Rainbow Sneakers

You gotta love a pop of color, and these shoes provide it all! These white canvas platform sneakers boast the whole rainbow via a side stripe, and it's just the pinch of pizzazz your looks need.

The Orchid Platform Rainbow Sneakers are $85.

Gola

Chicago Sneakers

Blue shoes are another big shoe trend at the moment, and these Gola sneakers hit the nail on the head being covered in all sorts of shades! The upper is made from 60% recycled materials, which make 'em even better. You get a good cushion from the midsole and raised heel that provide all-day support.

The Chicago Sneakers are $115.

Gola

Boston '78 Sneakers

I simply adore how creative Gola can get with their shoe colors. This navy, green, and pink edition is just so stunning. The EVA midsole speaks to the overall comfort of this shoe, providing a bouncy, soft step every time. The toothed white sole gives good traction on any terrain!

The Boston '78 Sneakers go for $95.

Gola

Harrier Mirror Sneakers

Finally, the Harrier Mirror Sneakers are an absolute staple. The side stripes are shiny and gold, which add an air of luxury to your look, no matter if you're wearing a dress or denim shorts. I love the classic rubber soles that create contrast in the colors!

The Harrier Mirror Sneakers cost $100.

Knowing your hair type is one of the most valuable and beneficial things to your hair health — especially when it comes to the porosity of your hair. Hair porosity means the level at which your hair absorbs moisture or water, and it's categorized as low, medium, or high. Sometimes, low porosity hair — which is slower to absorb water — can keep you from getting the proper hydration to keep your hair looking and feeling healthy.

Dr. Ross Kopelman, hair transplant surgeon, explained, "Low porosity hair has tightly closed cuticles that make it difficult for moisture to penetrate the hair shaft. This can lead to dryness and product buildup, as products tend to sit on the hair rather than being absorbed." He also mentioned that this can lead to breakage and tangling since your hair is having a hard time retaining moisture.

Luckily, there's a way to help low porosity hair maintain its health, get rid of excess buildup, and retain moisture through specific products like shampoos and masks. I talked to experts Clyde Haygood (celebrity hairstylist), Dr. Ross Kopelman(hair surgeon and expert), and Kseniya Popova (lead chemist and head of R&D for The Rootist) to get all their product recommendations for the best low porosity hair products to try right now!

Amazon

SheaMoisture Hair Mask

Dr. Ross Kopelman recommended this hair mask from SheaMoisture, noting that it will help heal your hair cuticles and allow products to more deeply penetrate the hair. This is exactly what we're looking for, since with low porosity hair, products have a hard time reaching your hair cuticles and fully absorbing. This will also help any breakage you might've gotten given your hair type!

Amazon

Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave-In Conditioner

This was another great leave-in recommended by Dr. Kopelman to help repair breakage and attract moisture. He says that it has glycerin and honey which both help your low porosity hair to really retain the moisture in a light, non-greasy way.

Amazon

The Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo

If you're needing a bit of a deeper cleanse but have very sensitive hair, then this recommendation from Dr. Kopelman might be just what you're looking for! He let us know that this shampoo is thorough and effective, yet still gentle for any sensitive hair-types! According to his solid advice, you only need to use it once a month to remove any buildup that might be preventing your hair from being able to fully absorb moisture!

Amazon

The Rootist AHA Pre-Shampoo

Lead Chemist and Head of R&D for The Rootist, Kseniya Popova, says that this pre-shampoo is great for the low porosity hair gals! She gave us great insight by saying, "This pre-shampoo treatment is fantastic for those with low porosity who want to target product build-up and excess oil. The alpha hydroxy acids glycolic acid and lactic acid and apple cider vinegar help to gently exfoliate without stripping natural, healthy oils that need to coat the hair."

The Rootist

BioBrew Fermented Strengthening Serum

Kseniya Popova also told us about this great strengthening serum from her company, The Rootist! She says that it is a great serum that has super nourishing ingredients like moringa oil, along with vitamin C that help to condition cuticles and boost hydration. And bonus! They added a heat-protecting active, for up to 450 degrees, that is super beneficial to low porosity hair when using hot tools like curling irons and hair dryers.

The Rootist

Strengthen Concentrated Shampoo and Conditioner

Kseniya also recommended this amazing shampoo and conditioner duo from her company that she says is great for low porosity hair. She explained that they help to cleanse the roots, scalp, and hair without causing damage or stripping moisture — exactly what you need for cleansing low porosity hair without stripping away all the natural oils and moisture excessively. Kseniya said, "It is necessary to strengthen low porosity hair fibers because they are prone to brittleness and breakage. The Strengthen Concentrated Shampoo contains yuzu ceramides and hydrolyzed proteins that will help to strengthen the hair fibers of low porosity hair. And the Strengthen Concentrated Conditioner contains coating emollients, such as coconut oil, acai oil, rice brand and passion fruit oils that lock in necessary moisture" This means that you'll really be able to lock in moisture, down to the root!

Amazon

Pura D'or Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo

We got a great recommendation from celebrity hairstylist, Clyde Haygood, when it comes to drier low porosity hair. He says this shampoo will be great because it infuses biotin, keratin and caffeine to boost hair health and shine in a lightweight formula. This mean it won't be too heavy or greasy, but still helping to retain moisture.

Amazon

Pura D'or Hair Thinning Therapy

Dealing with hair thinningand low porosity? Well, hair expert Clyde Haygood has just the thing for you. He said this mask is one of his favorite products for how it hydrates the hair, targeting both hair thinning and low porosity. He also added, " Using a hair mask once a week is also a great way to strengthen strands and protect hair from heat styling damage. I also love that it’s free from harsh chemicals, hypo-allergenic, vegan and cruelty free which is ideal for all hair types." Sounds like just what we're looking for!

30 years after "Run, Forrest, run!" entered the cultural consciousness, we're getting an unofficial Forrest Gump reunion! Robin Wright and Tom Hanks' new film, titled Here, brings the actors together with Forrest Gump director Robert Zemeckis. The movie is a sweeping look at life across hundreds of years, anchored in the same cozy living room. And if we're already emotional just from watching the trailer, we'll definitely need to bring tissues to the theater! Here's everything you need to know about the movie.

What is the new movie Here about?

CTMG/Sony Pictures

Based on the graphic novel by Richard McGuire, Here follows the story of multiple families across time, and explores the places — and homes — they inhabit. "The story travels through generations, capturing the most relatable of human experiences," according to an official synopsis of the movie, which is "a tale of love, loss, laughter and life, all of which happen right Here."

When is Here coming out?

CTMG/Sony Pictures

Here comes to movie theaters on November 15, 2024. With so much emphasis on family and home, this is going to be the perfect pre-holiday movie to watch with the people you love the most. Check out the rest of this year's Fall Movies to see what else is coming this year!

Who's in the cast of Here?

CTMG/Sony Pictures

Here stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Paul Bettany, Kelly Reilly, and Michelle Dockery.

Where is Here filmed?

CTMG/Sony Pictures

Here began filming at the end of 2022 in London, and director Robert Zemeckis revealed the camera stays in exactly the same place throughout the entire movie. “The single perspective never changes, but everything around it does,” he tells Vanity Fair. “It’s actually never been done before."

Check out the other 2024 movies coming out this year — and let us know your favorite Robin Wright & Tom Hanks movies on Facebook!

With bills to pay, project deadlines and a growing to-do list, it can be hard to keep your house in order. But research shows that cluttered environments are tied to higher levels of stress. Luckily, there are simple ways to make your home feel more zen without a ton of effort. From stylish ways to clear clutter to embracing organic materials, check out these 15 mindful decorating tips for creating a space where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Purge Once. Edit Often.

There’s a reason why Marie Kondo's KonMari method was such a huge hit — because it works. To create a mindful space, you need to master the magic of tidying. Surround yourself with things that you love and get rid of non-essentials that are cluttering your space. The result: a cozy, comfortable home you love.

Focus On Negative Space With Low Furniture

CB2

If something about one of your minimalistic rooms feels off or cramped, you might need to focus on the proportions of your furniture. Tables, a sofa or a bed that are just a few inches too high can greatly disrupt a room’s visual flow. The design trick: Buy low furniture like this gorgeous CB2 Cantar Ivory Velvet Upholstered Bedfor a cozy and simple look.

Stick With A Neutral Or Soft Color Palette

Dacotah Studio

When decorating a minimalist interior, it’s all about creating a clean base. Clean light walls can open up a space and make it feel airy, like this stunning kitchen by LA-based Dacotah Studio(see our full feature here). Soft, nature-toned pieces in beige, tan and green are also soothing and easy on the eyes. Decorating within a neutral color palette also gives your home that instant, pulled-together look. That plus calming vibes? It’s a win-win.

Add Minimal Texture

To keep a room from feeling cold or bland, add texture. Shop for soft throws, throw a sheepskin over your desk chair and lay down a fluffy wool rug. Your space will look put-together and cozier than ever.

Get Rid Of Most Mirrors

Joshua Smith Design | Photo: Lance Gerber

In feng shui, mirrors are said to bounce off energy, which can cause you to feel restless. There have even been studies that show mirrors could trigger stress and anxiety. While we love how a mirror can make a space look larger, it’s probably best to remove them from your bedroom, living room and kitchen. Instead place mirrors behind closet doors or limit them to the bathroom.

Choose Natural Materials

Design: Urbanology Designs | Photo: Mike Davello

While minimalism is all about perfecting the “less is more” approach, there’s a chance your interiors might feel cold and sterile. Invest in pieces of natural or raw materials such as wood, marble, hides, clay and cork. The uniqueness of earthy materials adds character and warmth to your abode.

Embrace Natural Light

Photo + Design: Klein Agency

A simple mindfulness exercise is to wake up when it’s light out and sleep when it’s dark out to maintain a healthy sleep rhythm. Get rid of curtains and tear down walls that block windows to maximize the amount of light that comes in. Letting natural light fill your home brings the outside in and allows you to get the best rest possible.

Let Your Space Speak For Itself

Photo by Gül Işık

There are so many ways to decorate a home, but before you begin drilling and filling up the shelves, really take time to understand and appreciate your space. Whether your home has traditional molding, modern kitchen cabinets or a quirky layout, your home’s bones are the foundation for building upon. You might find that many of your physical possessions don’t complement your space. Work with what you have (and not against it) to create a home that is unified.

Keep Surfaces Clear And Tidy

Design: Arterberry Cooke

This is where being mindful isn’t just about aesthetics. De-cluttering a messy surface looks amazing and feels amazing too — think of it as a mind and spirit detox. Clear and tidy desks, tables and kitchen countertops on a daily basis so you can start every day fresh with clarity.

Use Stylish Storage

Design: Bungalowe | Photo by Gavin Cater

We know. It’s hard to get rid of all of your clutter. Paper, art supplies, makeup brushes, laundry — the list of stuff that accumulates (and you can’t always get rid of) goes on. Consider getting rid of trash cans entirely in rooms that don’t absolutely need them. Or, use pull-out and built-in garbage and recycling bins to free up floor space. Keep office and cleaning supplies organized with pretty baskets and containers, and find creative ways to store your hair and beauty products. With so much stuff, stylish storage is key to making your home organized and tidy. We love how LA-based design team Bungalowe created custom storage with shelving in this bedroom (see the full feature here).

Keep Cords Out Of Sight

Photo + Design: Klein Agency

To make your home (and mind) feel clear, hide everyday eyesores like power strips, routers and laptop chargers by thinking vertically. Manage your electrical cords by purchasing desks with shelves for power strips, attach cords to the back or bottom of your desk with these Blue Key World Cable Clips ($7) or create a charging station drawer. There are so many ways to hide cords, and you can get as creative as you like!

Set The Tone With Soft Lighting

CB2

In addition to installing dimmer switches to set a relaxing mood, task lighting (your table and floor lamps) should be warm and atmospheric. Layer the light with wall sconces like CB2's lovely and affordable Astr White Onyx Wall Sconce and some candles, and your space will feel extra intimate and cozy.

Make Your Bed Every Morning

Design: Arterberry Cooke

As tempting as it is to rush out the door in the morning, leaving your bed unkempt can set the tone for the day. Making your bed forces you to slow down and set a healthy pace for the day. For more style, splurge on beautiful linen sheets that’ll motivate you to tidy your bed every morning.

Treat Yourself To Quality Towels

Piglet In Bed

Consistency in fabrics like your sheets and towels can make a room look instantly pulled together. Refresh your bathroom with 100% cotton, OEKO-TEX-certified towels like these striped ones from Sand Shell Pembroke Stripe Cotton Towels from Piglet In Bed that have a cool vintage vibe.

Let The Outdoors In With Florals And Plants

Photo by Ksenia Chernaya

With clean, minimalist style, it’s even more important to bring a little bit of life into your space. Think of caring for a plant as a daily exercise in mindfulness. Bonus: Florals and plants instantly create an inviting atmosphere too.
