Accessory of the Week: Sassy Red and Pink Valentine’s Day Mules

No matter what your current status is this Valentine’s Day — be it heart-eyed, heartbroken, or something in between — one thing is definitely for sure: The best way to celebrate every holiday is by looking (and feeling) absolutely fabulous. Speaking of which, it turns out that pink and red *do* go together, and what better day to rock a super sassy and amor-inspired outfit than V-Day?!

We are in love with the Via Spiga Porter Peep Toe Mule ($225) for so many reasons. Made in Italy (and designed by a woman!), these stylish patent babes feature a cut-out block heel that gives ’em a funky, fresh feel. And because these mules are red and pink you can pair them with all the things. Heading to a candlelit dinner with bae? Just add an LBD. Single gals’ night out? Throw on those perfect jeans and a blouse that’s sure to turn heads. No plans? No problem — these mules are a party in themselves. Celebrate Cupid’s fave day with an #OOTD that makes you feel like the ah-mazing, babelicious, fabulous female you truly are.

In case you missed it, Target’s latest spring fashion drop is just too good. Filled with chic, minimalist styles that span across denim and dresses, each garment in the collection definitely looks more expensive than it actually is.

I scrolled through the retailer’s new arrivals and found 15 spring-ready pieces that deliver “quiet luxury” vibes– all while being surprisingly affordable (ahem, under $45!).

Scroll on to discover 15 stylish Target finds that prove luxe-looking fashion doesn’t always have to come with a designer price tag.

Target

This polished button-down is part of a matching set, and when worn together, the pair looks extremely chic.

I feel like the fashion "it" girls are always sporting chore jackets these days, and they make the perfect light layer for springtime. While you could shop a similar style to this for $200+, this cropped design is just $45 at Target. Score!

Of all the fast food breakfast sandwiches out there, McDonald’s Egg McMuffin is one that has truly stood the test of time. In celebration of 50 years of the McDonald’s breakfast menu icon, the chain is offering $1 Egg McMuffins – for a limited time only.

Scroll on for all the details you need to know about McDonald’s $1 Egg McMuffin promo!

McDonald’s

The Egg McMuffin is beloved for its layers of melted cheese and fluffy eggs (which McDonald’s saysare sourced 100% cage-free in the U.S.), all stacked inside a toasted and buttered English muffin. In addition to the classic cheese and egg combo, you can also find the sammie made with Canadian bacon or sausage on the menu.

McDonald’s

Now clocking in a whopping 50 years on the McDonald’s menu, the fast food giant says the McMuffin is “still the GOAT.” To honor its undeniable icon status, McDonald’s is offering $1 Egg McMuffins(or Sausage McMuffins with Egg) on March 2 only – a day they’re deeming National Egg McMuffin Day.

McDonald’s

The promo will only be available exclusively through the McDonald’s app on Sunday, March 2. You must be a rewards member to take advantage of the deal!

McDonald’s

"At McDonald's, breakfast isn't just a meal; it's a cherished tradition and cornerstone of our brand," said McDonald's USA President Joe Erlinger. "Every morning when we open our doors, we are a breakfast restaurant. Whether it’s my personal favorite, the Egg McMuffin, or our crispy Hash Browns, fluffy hotcakes, or sweet and savory McGriddles, we’re all about giving our customers the best start to their day. Our fans know they can always count on us for a one-of-a-kind breakfast experience, anchored in great value and high-quality ingredients."

The $1 Egg McMuffin promo comes at the perfect time as the U.S. experiences a nationwide egg shortage due to a bird flu outbreak – with prices for a dozen climbing up to as much as $12. I personally haven’t bought eggs in 6 weeks or so due to my grocery store either being completely sold-out or posting insane prices for them, so I’m very excited to hop on over to McD’s on March 2.

McDonald’s

McDonald’s also announced several additional promos that customers can enjoy in March and beyond. Take note:

  • From March 3 through March 30, fans can enjoy a BOGO free Sausage McMuffin with Egg when they make a McDelivery order in the McDonald's App.
  • Bagel Sandwiches are now available nationwide, orderable as a Bacon, Egg & Cheese or Steak, Egg & Cheese combo.
  • New Yorkers can now enjoy fresh Krispy Kreme donuts at participating McDonald’s locations. McDonald’s says “more than half” of U.S. restaurants will sell Krispy Kreme donuts by the end of 2025.

Spring is my favorite time of year not only for the warmer temperatures, but because it signals a much-needed change in my wardrobe. Where heavy coats and turtlenecks were once in rotation (or, let's be real, t-shirts and sweatpants), light layers and flowy dresses come out to play.

Even in light of this transitional time, I still find myself reaching for boots to pair with any and every outfit I put together! There's a perfect pair of spring boots for you, too, whether you like a Western-inspired look or a more practical walking boot.

Scroll on for the best of this season's spring boots to step out in utter style!

Nordstrom

Dingo Harlee Moto Boots

An easy way to transition moto boots from winter to spring is to snag 'em in a lighter color, as opposed to an all-black pair. These mid-calf boots from Dingo have all the classic details (that go with every outfit!), from the hooped harness to the top buckle.

Anthropologie

Frye Campus Boots

You can also never go wrong with this beloved boot from Frye. The light, banana-colored leather is quite literally the perfect hue for wearing with everything in your spring wardrobe!

Nordstrom

Madewell The Darcy Ankle Boots

If taller spring boots don't speak to your style (or your comfort levels), ankle boots are the way to go! This sleek, pointed pair comes in a handful of colors – for spring, opt for lighter shades, but if you're shopping for an all-season boot, black will never fail.

SeaVees

SeaVees Bolinas Off Shore Boots

These 100% waterproof natural rubber boots will come in super handy on rainy spring days! They're extremely easy to put on (thanks to the pull tabs) and walk in since they're fashioned with a memory foam footbed.

Tecovas

Tecovas The Cassie Boots

Western wear is one of my personal favorite fashion trends, so I will always support cowgirl-esque boots like these for any season – but these could look so stunning with a swingy spring dress! The sheen of these leather cuties ultimately make them more fashion-forward than your typical Western boot, plus they're comfy enough to wear on a night out.

Nordstrom

Dingo Anarchy Leather Booties

These adorable booties give the moto energy your spring 'fits are craving, all without the restriction of a traditional tall boot! While you could shop 'em in black, brown, or olive, this rustic red color might just be exactly what you need to infuse a bit of color into your spring looks.

Free People

Free People Hybrid Harness Boots

Okay, yes! These boots are downright dreamy. Not quite a full boot, they boast hints of clogs and loafers, too, offering a playful preppy look – just the energy we all need for the new season! I would style them with some socks, a mini skirt, and light sweater to step out on the town this spring.

Rothy's

Rothy's The Classic Boots

Rothy's boots are ideal for the commuter or just the comfy shoe-lover. Fashioned with a bespoke insole, they offer "unbelievable, cushion-like comfort" with every step. Plus, the material is made with a bit of stretch for added room. This leopard print pair would make the perfect statement shoe for springtime, though they also come in a few other solid colorways.

Urban Outfitters

Steve Madden Rocky Buckled Tall Boots

If your personal style leans more edgy, you're likely already in love with these buckled boots. Though they make a perfect match for baggy or cuffed jeans in the wintertime, you should totally show off the whole shoe for spring by wearing them with a mini skirt or dress!

Anthropologie

Matisse Sienna Western Boots

These Western boots are everything! The floral stitching recalls spring in the most stylish way, plus, thanks to the solid black colorway, you'll be able to pair them seamlessly with the rest of your wardrobe.

Urban Outfitters

Hunter Micah Lug Sole Rain Boots

It can be a real challenge to balance style and practicality when ti comes to spring boots. Luckily, with these Hunter boots, you don't have to sacrifice either. The lug sole and waterproof outer can easily tackle rainy terrain while the cushioned footbed ensures comfort along the way.

Tributes continue to pour in for the late Michelle Trachtenberg after she passed away on February 26, 2205 — and her former TV big sister, Sarah Michelle Gellar, just shared her own emotional post. The actresses played sisters on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Joss Whedon's cult classic fantasy series that ran from 1997 to 2003. And now, Sarah paid tribute to her on-screen little sister with a carousel of sweet photos and an emotional Buffy reference. This is what she shared.

Here's what Sarah Michelle Gellar said about Buffy co-star, Michelle Trachtenberg:

Instagram/sarahmgellar

The post featured a slideshow of photos from Buffy, as well as snapshots of the two of them throughout their lives. Michelle was 15 years old when she joined the cast in 2000, and the carousel of photos really capture how these two grew up together the three years they were on set with each other.

Sarah captioned the post, “Michelle, listen to me. Listen. I love you. I will always love you. The hardest thing in this world, is to live in it. I will be brave. I will live… for you"

Sarah's moving words are a direct reference to her time with Michelle on Buffy. The quote comes from this emotional scene, but Sarah altered it to be about her late friend and former co-star.

Unfortunately, this loss comes on the heels of another Buffy co-star's passing — Shannen Doherty died on July 13, 2024 after battling cancer for years. Sarah's emotional tribute to Shannen was heartbreaking, starting with, "How can you possibly find the right words to sum up 30 years of friendship?"

We hope Sarah — and all of Michelle's family, friends, and fans — is able to take care of herself while she mourns this tragedy.

Glen Powell has already had the career of a lifetime, and he's just getting started. Set It Up (the ultimate rom-com), Top Gun: Maverick (the ultimate sequel), and Twisters (the ultimate summer movie) are three of my favorite films of all time, but there's one role he had in 2017 you probably never knew: Nina Dobrev's boyfriend. YUP. Before the Vampire Diaries star got engaged to Shawn White, and before Glen Powell was seen in the back of a car with Lily James, these two were an item.

Let's take a look down memory lane — back to 2017 when Glen Powell & Nina Dobrev dated!

Glen Powell and Nina Dobrev definitely matched each other's energy.

Glen Powell and Nina Dobrev celebrated a Texas New Year's together in 2017, and then Glen showed up to the premiere of Nina's movie xXx: Return of Xander Cage. Not to mention the fact they were spotted at a Golden Globes afterparty together.

"They have a similar group of friends and have been seeing each other on the low for a little while," a source told E! News, while another said, "All of their friends like them together. They both feel pretty comfortable around each other."

We already know Nina is the master of costumes (see her costumes with fiancé Shawn White for reference), and for Nina's 28th birthday in 2017, she threw a La La Land-themed party, complete with themed outfits — and the iconic pose from the movie poster with Glen.

In July 2017, Glen Powell and Nina Dobrev got very cozy (and goofy) in a photo booth at Julianne Hough's wedding to Brooks Laich. Say what you want about this couple, but they definitely matched each other's energy.

The couple seemingly called it quits by the end of 2017, but have been in the same circles since! They had a great time at the 2020 InStyle and Warner Bros. Golden Globe afterparty and took a pic together at the 2022 Omega Masters. Nina and Shaun are also good friends with Miles and Keleigh Teller, and showed up to the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick in 2022 (which, of course, also stars Glen Powell).

These two are proving you really can be friends with your exes.

Did you know Glen Powell and Nina Dobrev dated? I would have loved to see Glen make a guest appearance on The Vampire Diaries...but maybe they'll work together in the future. Follow us on Instagram for more celebrity relationship news!
