Forget Adidas, Salomons Are Officially 2024’s Cool Girl Shoe

Salomon shoesSalomon shoes

I really do love the Adidas Sambas for all they are. They’re comfy, clean, and so easy to style, but there’s an emerging shoe that has all the same qualities and more. Meet the Salomon XT-6: they are similarly very comfortable and a total breeze to wear, just like fashion’s favorite sneaker. The only exception is that they boast a much more technical silhouette. If you’re already growing tired of the Adidas hype, Salomons are definitely here to mix up the monotony.

Salomons have skyrocketed in popularity for a number of reasons. First, everyone’s go-to style icons are wearing ‘em. Rihanna, Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid, and many more have stepped out in the sporty shoe.

Think of Salomons as a solid crossover between ‘granola girl’ flair and ‘sneakerhead bro’ swag. If you haven’t yet heard of the gorpcore aesthetic, these shoes are the perfect way to dip your toes (pun fully intended) into the trend.

I argue that Salomons defy fashion trends altogether, though. After all, they’re made to last a lifetime (and look good for just as long), being made from durable materials and Salomon’s signature Quicklace system. But me just talking about them won’t convince you of all the greatness Salomon has to offer. Scroll on for 6 worth-it Salomon styles sure to take your every look up a notch, from your next hike to a night out!

Salomon

XT-6

The XT-6's are by far the most popular Salomon sneakers among the fashion community. Originally made for running in harsh conditions, this shoe has situated itself as a quintessential staple for sporty-chic outfits. I love this super clean white-on-white look with cargo pants or oversized denim shorts for a laidback feel. The lace system definitely strays from tradition, making your ensemble stand out. Plus, the colorful logo tab that runs up the tongue truly cannot be missed!

The Salomon XT-6's are shoppable in 11 different colors and currently go for $200.

Salomon

Speedcross 6 Gore-Tex

The next Salomons, the Speedcross 6 Gore-Tex sneakers, flaunt a much chunkier heel than the XT-6's. The intense treading on the soles almost give the effect of soccer cleats, which amps up the sportiness of it all! These sneaks have a waterproof and quite breathable membrane on the outside, which is ideal for trekking in wet conditions. They also have a moderate level of cushioning, making for a responsive, bouncy step.

The Speedcross 6 Gore-Tex shoes currently come in 4 colors and start at $165.

Salomon

Acs +

The Acs+ shoes from Salomon definitely exhibit the most fashion-forward details of all the styles on this list. Just look at that sleek lace hardware, the defined black lining, and mixed-media outer layer! This shoe offers lots of structure around the entire foot, speaking to the sneaker's overall durability and support. They'll look just as cool with a tennis skirt as they will with baggy jeans.

The Salomon Acs + currently come in 6 different colorways for $160.

Salomon

Xa Pro 3D

Okay, the super meshy look of the Salomon Xa Pro 3D's is very attractive to me. It's met with a more solid material along the sole and toe, and of course, you've gotta flaunt the Salomon logo along the sides! These sneaks were originally intended for trail running, but I think they look stunning off the trail, too. They are equipped to handle any kind of terrain, if you plan to get outside in them. The helpful heel loops make for an easy slide-on and take-off experience.

The Xa Pro 3D's are shoppable in 4 different colors for $140.

Salomon

Sense Ride 5

This serene green lets your look stand out, though there are tons of colors to pick from with the Salomon Sense Ride 5's. These low-profile sneakers are fitted with a balanced midsole, all-terrain grip, and a mesh upper that allows your feet to breathe, no matter where you are or what you're gettin' up to. The spreading laces hold your feet in a nice, stable position, too.

The Sense Ride 5's go for $140 right now.

Salomon

XT-Slate

This very sleek gray color palette will last you for years and years to come, since it's a good neutral to rock. These have a breezy waffled mesh outer layer for added airflow. The laces look pretty intricate, but they're really not, only requiring a quick drawstring adjustment. Your step's gonna love the bounce it gets from this shoes' substantial sole.

The XT-Slate sneakers are shoppable in 4 colors for $230.

Will look great with summer tops. Can be fashionable for older or younger women. Did not shrink when washed in col water on delicate cycle. Air dried. Has a pretty linen texture. Not see through which can be an issue with some white materials."

I’ve been poked and jabbed with many skincare tools in my time (you can thank my facialist), but I’ve never really delved into the world of at-home treatments – until now. I’m a huge fan of red light therapy because it’s not only quite relaxing to me, but it is very beneficial to my skin. It can help aid all sorts of skincare woes, from inflammation to scar healing. I’ve been sitting on the bench watching influencers and everyday beauty-lovers try the viral Solawave wand, so I decided it was finally time to try it out.

Read on for my review!

First Impressions Of The Solawave

Meredith Holser

The Solawave wand claims to “reduce the appearance of fine lines, dark circles, blemishes, and puffiness” using a combination of non-invasive science-backed red light, microcurrents, and warmth to target them. I really was drawn to its non-invasive quality, and based on the many TikToks I watched of people using the Solawave, it looked way too easy to be true.

Meredith Holser

On first impression, I liked how compact the Solawave wand was. It wasn’t nearly as bulky like other red light therapy masks I’ve tried, which is especially pleasant since I could take it on-the-go. The red light component of the Solawave even turns to the side so that it fits nicely in the included carrying case (a true makeup bag must-have).

The process of using the Solawave turned out to be just as easy as I initially thought. After a quick charge of 10 minutes, a single press of a button, and 5 minutes worth of moving the wand in an upward motion all around my face, the routine was complete.

The Process Of Using The Solawave Wand

Meredith Holser

The Solawave delivers its treatment in several ways: red light, a vibrating microcurrent, and gentle heat. I honestly didn’t expect the red light to be as strong as it was, considering how small the wand is. I found that the light was vibrant and strong, and since I had to hold it up right against my face to use it, I felt confident that my skin was receiving a thorough red light therapy treatment.

The vibrating microcurrent felt really relaxing on my face. According to Solawave, these currents help “boost your skin's ability to absorb serums and creams.” I most consistently used it in conjunction with the Solawave Skin Therapy Activating Serum, which is recommended to amplify the wand’s performance, but I really didn’t observe much absorption from it. I only noticed a nice level of absorption when I used the wand with my trusty Kiehl’s Ultra Face Cream – with this power duo, my skin felt even more hydrated than if I had just used the face cream on its own.

Finally, the warmth of the wand also felt supremely relaxing. This higher-temperature treatment claims to play a big role in rejuvenating the skin, and boy, did I feel rejuvenated. My only bone to pick with this aspect of the at-home treatment was I found the heat got more and more intense with sustained use (more than 3 minutes), and became a bit distracting from the overall experience. It wasn’t necessarily hot to the point that it’d burn me, but when I found it unpleasant, I knew it was time to turn off the wand.

Generally, the Solawave is super easy to use and provides a pleasant at-home skincare experience. Since it’s non-invasive, it’s pretty low-risk to use it yourself, which I am all for!

The Results!

Meredith Holser

Now, let’s talk about the results. I feel like my face looks quite the same before using it as it does after, but that may be due to the length of time I've been using the Solawave wand. More than anything, I wanted to use it to target the fine lines around my mouth and eyes. I wanted to see some lift! I haven’t observed a massive change in those zones yet.

Meredith Holser

That being said, I still observe that my skin is glowier and more awake after using the wand for a few minutes. I definitely prefer using the Solawave with a layer of moisturizer than the included serum since it helps my skin absorb that good, good moisture.

The Verdict On The Viral Solawave Wand

Amazon

Solawave 4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Wand

The latest iteration of the Solawave wand currently retails for $169 on Amazon, which can be a little jarring, depending on your skincare budget. The way I see it, that amount of money is what I’d be paying for a single facial treatment out of the house (ew, leaving the house?!). So, being able to self-administer similar treatments consistently for the one-time price of the tool is definitely worth it in my eyes. Sure, it may not perform at exactly the same caliber as your professional facialists’ microdermabrasion tool or red light mask, but given the product’s claims and price, there’s endless value in doing it yourself.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are no strangers to making headlines — and apparently Ben has a lot to say about that after their blockbuster divorce. Bennifer 2.0 was a shocking rekindled romance, but nothing was more shocking about how brief take two was for these seemingly star-crossed lovers. While Ben's historically been pretty tight-lipped about his personal life, he recently opened up in an interview with GQ about Jennifer, their divorce, and how he really feels about it all. Here's what he had to say!

Scroll to see Ben Affleck's rare comments about Jennifer Lopez post-divorce...

Again, it's pretty well-known that Ben Affleck doesn't care much for the spotlight. I mean, he's literally known for looking grumpy — and drinking Dunkin' — in pap shots. And Ben is pretty adamant that underneath all those major headlines, he's just a normal guy with a normal family. He told GQ that his "life is actually pretty drama-free," noting that he experiences all the same things anyone else does.

"I’m sure in your mind you’re thinking, Oh, well, you just got divorced. That’s not drama-free. And I understand that instinct," he elaborated. "But all of this is pretty adult, and for all the sensational stuff that gets written, if somebody sat down and talked to me about it, and I said, “Well, this is really the experience,” their eyes would glaze over with boredom."

When asked about the divorce-stricken elephant in the room, Ben surprisingly shared what ultimately lead to his split from Jennifer Lopez. The interviewer noted that in The Greatest Love Story Never Told, it was clear that Ben wasn't comfortable with sharing so much of himself on screen — and asked what he was going through in those moments.

"Like I mentioned to you before, there are a lot of people who I think have handled celebrity more adeptly and more adroitly than I have, Jennifer among them. My temperament is to be a little bit more reserved and private than hers. As happens in relationships, you don’t always have the same attitude towards these things," he said. "And so I thought, Oh, this is interesting because how do you reconcile that? Because exactly what you said is true. I love and support this person. I believe in them. They’re great. I want people to see that."

Ben explained that there's a highly-quoted part of the documentary where he says, "You don’t marry a ship captain and then say, 'Well, I don’t like going out in the water.'" And ultimately? Ben said that really isn't what caused he and JLo to break things off. He said, "I think it’s important to say that wasn’t the cause of some major fracture. It’s not like you can watch that documentary and go, 'Oh, now I understand the issues that these two had.'"

Maybe one day we'll get the reason Bennifer 2.0 broke our hearts, but for now this answer will have to do. Here's hoping these two are both happy in their own right!

It's easy to understand why Yellowstone has captivated audiences for five whole seasons. The show is packed with intense drama, complex characters, and stunning landscapes.

Yellowstone is also home to plenty of powerful moments and memorable lines. Whether it's a gut punch of wisdom or a cutting remark, here are some of the show's most iconic quotes.

Scroll to see the most iconic Yellowstonequotes we can't get enough of!

"The only thing I ask is that you outlive me so I never live another day without you." – Beth Dutton

Beth may be regarded as the toughest character in Yellowstone, but beneath her fierce exterior is a deep well of emotion, especially when it comes to Rip.

In one of the most poignant moments of the series, Beth revealed a side of herself that viewers don't often see: her vulnerability and intense love for Rip. For Beth, having him by her side is more than just about companionship. It's a source of strength and stability.

Paramount

"You're either born a willow or born an oak. That's all there is to it." – Lloyd Pierce

In Yellowstone, the harshness of ranch life shapes its inhabitants in unique ways. Here, Lloyd offers a candid observation about the nature of people, suggesting that some are inherently strong and resolute, like oaks, while others are more adaptable and pliable, like willows.

This quote underscores one of the central themes of the show: the tough world of ranching creates individuals who are either suited for the challenge or will be bent by it.

Paramount

"You know, when you boil life down, it's funny just how little you need, isn't it?" – Rip Wheeler

This line perfectly encapsulates Rip's simple yet profound outlook on life. As a man deeply connected to the land, he values self-sufficiency and is content with the basics, a philosophy that aligns closely with the rugged Western lifestyle the Duttons defend.

In his eyes, all that truly matters is the ranch and his family. His humble nature and his unwavering loyalty make him a grounding force amidst the chaos of the show.

Paramount

"The brand isn't something you earn; it's something you live up to." – John Dutton

The Yellowstone brand is not merely a symbol of belonging. As the quote shows, it's also a constant reminder of the responsibility and expectations that come with it.

When Jimmy is given the choice to accept the brand, he isn't just going to be marked as part of the ranch. John Dutton runs his operation with a strict code of loyalty and unquestioned obedience, and Jimmy is being offered an opportunity to prove himself and live a life defined by hard work and sacrifice.

Paramount

"A man who puts a hand on a member of my family never puts a hand on anything else." – Jamie Dutton

Despite their conflicts and dysfunctions, the Duttons share an unbreakable bond when it comes to protecting their own. Jamie's line goes to show that, even with all their flaws, the Duttons will unite in retribution when one of their own is harmed.

What makes this quote particularly striking is that it comes from Jamie, who's like a black sheep in the family.

Paramount

"When you fight for a thing, the thing doesn't care if you win or lose because the thing ain't alive. But when you fight for people, they care." – Kayce Dutton

This line delivered by Kayce underscores the difference between fighting for a cause and fighting for the people you love. He points out the contrast between fighting for material possessions, like the ranch, and the genuine connection and impact that comes from fighting for those you care about.

The quote reveals a key difference between him and his father, John Dutton. While John's primary focus is the ranch's preservation, Kayce is more concerned with his family's well-being.

Paramount

"Learn to be meaner than evil and still love your family and enjoy a sunrise." – John Dutton

In a modern Western like Yellowstone, there are undeniable themes of survival, sacrifice, and loyalty to family. This quote by John reflects the harsh reality of the cowboy lifestyle.

Furthermore, he believes that while life may demand hard choices, it's still possible to find moments of beauty and joy and hold onto the love that makes life worth living. His advice isn't just about fighting evil but surviving in a world where evil is inevitable while preserving a sense of humanity.

Paramount

"When the misery is bad enough, tomorrow is rarely factored into decisions." – Monica Dutton

Finally, it's no secret that Monica has faced an unthinkable amount of challenges in her life, from the trauma of Kayce killing her brother to dealing with systemic racism. This quote shows her belief that when life is filled with mystery, it becomes nearly impossible to think about the future because the present is all-consuming.

It speaks to the emotional weight of living in such a brutal environment and resonates with many of the characters on Yellowstone.
