21 Winter Sale Finds You Can Definitely Still Wear This Spring

Seasonal sales are basically a drug to me—especially when I can sit in bed and browse for hours, Maggie Rogers’ new album on repeat. (Ah, bliss.) But shopping this time of year can be hard, because while it’s freezing out, you want to have a spring wardrobe ready to go as soon as it warms up. For those of us in denial that the Northeast has been hitting record low temperatures lately, there are a bunch of 2019 winter sales that actually have an abundance of spring-ready items. You won’t need to hide in that giant puffer coat forever, so get shopping!

At first glance, winter sales may seem to be filled with coats and fuzzy sweaters that you’ll have to put away come spring. But if you dig a little bit (seriously, like, the bare minimum of digging), you’ll find warmer weather clothing and accessories waiting to be bought. It’s like getting a head start on spring wardrobe shopping, but you also get outgoing winter-wear deals. I don’t consider myself very thrifty, but even I can’t pass up this shopping situation.

Plus, if you look closely, you can find all your spring basics at amazing prices—leaving you some wiggle room to splurge on more unique pieces when the 2019 spring lines are released. Stick with styles you know will still be hot in the upcoming spring, and shop trends later, knowing you’ve already got all the classic bases covered. Am I a genius? I think I might be a genius.

To get you started, I’ve rounded up 21 winter sale finds to help kickstart your spring wardrobe shopping. I promise it’ll be warm outside before you know it.

Cardi B Reportedly Agreed to Take Offset Back Under This Condition

Update: January 31, 2019 at 3:30 p.m. EST.

It’s official: Cardi B and Offset are back together. After the rapper’s New York assault case was rescheduled for April, someone stopped Cardi as she left the courthouse to ask her about her relationship with Offset. “We’re working it out, baby,” Cardi B responded as she strolled off in her all-fur ensemble. Man, this girl is as fierce as ever!

Sources told TMZ that Cardi B is returning to their home in Atlanta that she shared with Offset prior to their separation. Apparently, it’s the first time she’s been back to stay there with Offset and their daughter, Kulture Kiara Cephus, since December when they announced their plans to divorce. Though it’s been about two months since the couple broke up, it has truly felt like an eternity.

TMZ reported that one of the key factors in the reunion was Offset changing his phone number, which will only be allowed for Cardi and business calls. (Social media and phones at hand are dangerous in this generation, you guys!) Apparently, this change proved to Cardi that he is serious about being honest and faithful. Per TMZ, the couple also has a “no groupies” rule, meaning that Offset won’t allow any female fans near him at his upcoming appearances, including at some Super Bowl parties in Atlanta this weekend.

Here’s hoping the couple can find happiness together once again. And just in time for the holiday of love! With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we have to wonder what surprise Offset must have under his sleeve … can’t wait to find out!

https://twitter.com/CarolDAuria/status/1090998004423815168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1090998004423815168&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cosmopolitan.com%2Fentertainment%2Fa26098298%2Fcardi-b-husband-offset-back-together%2F

Original story: January 8, 2019 at 10:45 a.m. EST

Cardi B and Offset are back together. But there’s a catch. TMZ reported on Sunday that the 26-year-old and 27-year-old rappers are “repairing their marriage” after announcing their divorce in December. Despite spending the holidays apart, sources for TMZ claim that the couple—who share 5-month-old baby daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus—communicated regularly over the season and are focused on “fixing their marriage” in 2019.

As for why they believe their marriage will work a second time, TMZ reports that the Migos member has vowed to “change his ways and be faithful and honest” with his wife. The site also reports that Cardi has been “receptive” to Offset’s apologies because “she misses what they had together.”

But don’t expect Cardi to go public with their relationship anytime soon. Though they’re reconciling, TMZ reports that Cardi still isn’t ready to put back on her wedding ring. “Not because she’s acting like she’s single. We’re told she’s just not emotionally ready to put it back on quite yet,” the site explained.

Cardi and Offset’s reported reunion comes three weeks after they were seen jetskiing together in Puerto Rico a few days before Christmas Photos of the couple show them smiling as they stay close to each other and whip across the water. Despite the Puerto Rico excursion, Cardi and Offset spent their New Year’s apart. Cardi was performing in Australia, while Offset was with Migos in Miami.

After she was seen jetskiing with Offset, Cardi responded to fans on her Instagram live who asked if the couple were back together. “I just had to get fucked, that’s all,” Cardi said, adding that she feels “rejuvenated.” “Bitch feels baptized. I came back to fucking life, bitch.”

It’s unclear if Cardi and Offset are actually back together. Right now, TMZ’s reports are through an anonymous source, so until Cardi and Offset confirm it themselves, it’s best to believe they’re still broken up. Still, we’re holding out hope for a reconciliation.

These Photos of Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Pete Davidson & Timothée Chalamet at a Party Are Giving Us Major FOMO

When we were kids, we all had that dream where princesses would show up to our birthday parties and sip tea, right? Or maybe our favorite athletes would make an appearance and we would *casually* toss around a football while eating some birthday cake. Whatever the dream was, we’re pretty sure no one could have imagined this odd-but-total-all-star crew showing up to our birthdays. These Kim Kardashian, Kayne West, Pete Davidson and Timothée Chalamet party photos from Kid Cudi’s 35th birthday celebration are giving us major FOMO.

Chalamet is a big self-proclaimed fan of Kid Cudi, but now it appears the two men have gotten extremely close! Close enough, that is, to have a private meal together with three of the rapper’s other friends. The fabulous five were having dinner at Nobu in Malibu Wednesday night, and Kardashian took the opportunity to snap a few pics of the men. “Happy birthday @KidCudi” the reality star tweeted.

She garnered a lot of replies, most of which were from fans commenting on how eclectic the group was. One Twitter user replied, “Is it just me, or did no one else expect these four people to be in the same room together?”

Another joked, “i’m pretty sure it’s a glitch in the simulation”

https://twitter.com/KimKardashian/status/1090873451974397952 https://twitter.com/okaykelley/status/1090876365484765184 https://twitter.com/lexibolster/status/1090889624510189568

It was just one year ago that Chalamet had not yet met his idol. Two months later, on March 26, he flipped out after the Grammy-award-winning musician called him out on Twitter, writing that the Call Me By Your Name actor was his favorite artist. “Who’s your favorite artist right now” a fan asked the rapper. “@RealChalemet,” Cudi replied.

https://twitter.com/KidCudi/status/978133458076798981

Chalamet—understandable—nearly lost his mind. “UHMMM OKAY STRIKE ME THE FUCK DOWN,” Chalamet quickly wrote back.

https://twitter.com/RealChalamet/status/978451734963027969

Talk about a 10 year glow-up!  There’s no way young Chalamet would ever have imagined having a chill dinner with his favorite rapper at one of Malibu’s hottest restaurants.

Perhaps more surprising than Chalemet’s invite was Pete Davidson’s presence at the birthday dinner. The Saturday Night Live cast member and Kayne West were not on great terms a few months ago after Davidson made fun of the rapper during the “Weekend Update” segment on October 3, 2018. West made an appearance as the show’s musical guest during the season premiere hosted by Adam Driver. Then, one week later, Davidson talked to Colin Jost about West’s off-air pro-Trump ramblings.

“What Kanye said after we went off the air last week was one of the worst, most awkward things I’ve ever seen here,” Davidson said. “And I’ve seen Chevy Chase speak to an intern.”

He then discussed the MAGA hat that West wore during the show’s bows.  “He wore it all week,” Davidson said, adding that no one had pressured West into take off the hat. “I wish I’d bullied you,” Davidson joked. “I wish I’d suggested that it might upset some people, like your wife or every black person ever.”

“Kayne is a genius. But like a musical genius,” Davidson said “But like Kanye, I know you’re like, “Yo, this is the real me. I’m off the meds.” …. Take ’em! There’s no shame in the medicine game. Being mentally ill is not an excuse to act like a jackass.”

Well, it seems like all is forgiven—or at least was temporarily set aside—so the gang could celebrate Kid Cudi’s birthday. They did seem to all be sharing some laughs! We’d love to know what was so funny. Maybe they were watching a different one of Davidson’s “Weekend Update” bits!

How Justine Marjan Went from Braiding Hair at the Beach for $20 to Working with Kim Kardashian

Justine Marjan was driving to brunch in Los Angeles the first time she was asked to do Kim Kardashian’s hair. She was on the road to Studio City, 20 miles away from Kardashian’s Calabasas home, when she received a text from her boss, Kardashian-favorite hairstylist Jen Atkin, who told her that she was unable to make her appointment with Kardashian later that day and was wondering if Marjan could take her spot. “She was like, ‘Can you be there in 30 minutes?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah! I can do it!’ And I just turned around my car and drove there,” Marjan tells StyleCaster.

The gig wasn’t for a big event. It was for a simple dinner where Kardashian was trying out a new hairstyle: a bubble ponytail reminiscent of Princess Leia from Star Wars, which has become one of Marjan’s signatures. But the experience changed Marjan’s career and life forever. Soon after, Marjan started doing hair for other stars, like Olivia Culpo and Jenna Dewan, before her big breakout in 2015 when she started styling Kardashian’s hair in two Dutch-like braids, right after the reality star’s birth to her second child Saint West, and the look went viral. “She ended up wearing her hair like that for months,” Marjan says. “It became a big trend, and that was my big breakout where everyone was wearing braids.”

But Marjan’s career isn’t as simple as a couple of braids. It took a long time (including being fired at her first salon job and braiding strangers’ hair at the beach for $20) for her to get to where she is today. Raised in Carpinteria, California, a small beach town outside of Santa Barbara, Marjan always had an interest in beauty and fashion but never considered it a career. The eldest child of an accountant and a computer programmer, Marjan would spend her childhood drawing outfits and studying Kevin Aucoin makeup books with her friends. Her family didn’t have a lot of money, but that didn’t stop Marjan from feeding her interests. To stock her closet and beauty collection, Marjan would sew clothes from items at the thrift store and convince her family to travel to discount stores—sometimes in other states—so she could buy out-of-season makeup and clothes at a fraction of the price. “I remember I got my first Juicy jumpsuit, and I thought, ‘This is the coolest thing in the world,’” Marjan says.

Someone else’s success doesn’t dampen your own.

Her interest in hair started at 12 years old when her beauty-uninterested mom asked her to do her younger sisters’ hair for a cheerleading competition. It didn’t take much for Marjan to fall in love with it, and soon after, she found herself waking up at the crack of dawn to travel to a local hair salon owned by another cheer mom to do hair with the rest of the parents. Word of mouth spread, and Marjan soon became her school’s go-to hairstylist, styling her friends’ hair before dances and braiding her classmates hair on the schoolbus. She also made a side gig out of braiding strangers’ hair for $20 on weekends. “Someone would see me braiding, and they’d be like, ‘Oh. Can you do that for me?’ And I’d be like, ‘Sure.’ It kind of became this little business when I was really young,” Marjan says.

When she was a junior in high school, Marjan slept in and missed the last chance to take her SATs. Gutted, she enrolled in her town’s community college, unsure of what she wanted to do next. One day, while waiting for the bus to go to her college class, Marjan saw a hair salon across the street. Though she was a natural at hair, she never considered a career in it. But something motivated her to miss her bus and walked in.. “I asked if I could speak to the manager and if they would allow me to shadow or volunteer,” Marjan says. She was hired as a receptionist. But Marjan’s love for salon life wasn’t immediate.

Soon after starting there, she was fired for showing up late and being unprofessional. “I was 17 and going through a rough time in my life where I didn’t really know what I wanted to do, so I wasn’t fully invested in what I was doing there,” Marjan says. Turns out, the answer was right in front of her. “When I got fired, it put my life into check, and I was like, ‘Wait. What am I doing? What do I want to do?’” Marjan says. She wrote a list of how she planned to take back control of her life, which included eating healthier and meditating more often. She showed the list to her former boss and was rehired within a week. She started attending cosmetology school in the day, while working at the salon at night and on weekends. From a receptionist, Marjan worked her way up to a hair assistant before becoming a hairstylist on the floor herself. “I kind of feel like I fell into it,” Marjan says.

After eight years at the salon, Marjan craved for something more. “I realized I basically reached my full potential there,” Marjan says. She was at a crossroads: She could either start her own salon in her town or move to Los Angeles to advance her career as a hairstylist. She chose the former, taking business classes, finding a space and raising money. Just as the salon was about to open, plans fell through. “I was like, ‘This is a sign. I need to move to a bigger city,’” Marjan says. After weeks of driving four hours and back to L.A. to drop off résumés, Marjan reached out to Jen Atkin, who posted a social media call for a new assistant. Six weeks later, Atkin asked her to do a trial run. She cancelled her clients at the salon and drove to L.A. the next day, only to find out that Atkin was sick and couldn’t talk to Marjan as they did hair. “I was like, ‘Great. How am I supposed to make an impression when I’m trying to be invisible and not talk to her the whole day?’” Marjan says.

After weeks of not hearing back, Marjan was eventually hired as a part-time hair assistant for celebrity hairstylist, Kristin Ess. She worked with Ess for a few weeks before Atkin reached out to her, letting her know that the assistant she did hire didn’t work out and was wondering if Marjan was still available. She worked for both Ess and Atkin for some time before Atkin asked her to become the editorial director of her hair site, Mane Addicts, while also assisting. Marjan took the job and went on to work for Atkin full-time. A couple years in, Atkin was starting her hair-care brand, OUAI, and needed someone she could trust to take on the high-profile clients she was too busy for. “By that point, her clients knew and trusted me because I had been by her side for years. So Jen would refer me when she wasn’t available,” Marjan says.

Marjan’s first celebrity client was Kelly Rowland, who, along wiht Atkin, gave her invaluable advice on how to work with natural hair, an education Marjan believes to be severely lacking in the hair industry and cosmetology schools, which she thinks is more focused on the information necessary to pass one’s license exam than real-life skills, like how to work with different hair textures. “I’m so grateful that someone like Kelly Rowland was my first client. She would give me tips and help me out too, because she knew where I was coming from,” Marjan says.

It’s not as glamorous as it seems. It’s a lot of grit and hard work.

After Rowland, Marjan was referred to Kim Kardashian and her career took off from there. Through word of mouth, Marjan was able to build her own Rolodex of celebrity clients, quit her job as an assistant and start working as a freelance hairstylist full-time. Since then, Marjan has went on to work with stars, like Ashley Graham, Dove Cameron and most of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters. She’s also done hair for the covers of magazines like Billboard, GQ Germany and Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam. In 2018, she launched her first hair accessories line with Kitsch. “It was the first time I saw my name on packaging or anything like that, so that was a really exciting moment for me,” Marjan says.

Still, Marjan has a lot left she wants to accomplish. For one, she has a list of dream celebrity clients, which include Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande and Jennifer Lawrence. And of course, like every other hairstylist, she has the goal of styling hair for the cover of Vogue. “Every creative’s dream is to do a Vogue cover, and that’s a huge career bucket list for me,” Marjan says.

But for now, Marjan is doing what she’s always been doing: working hard and not worrying about the competition, a lesson she learned from Atkin. (“The best of piece of advice Jen gave me was to not feel like you’re in a competition with everyone. Someone else’s success doesn’t dampen your own,” she says.) And though her life might look glamorous on Instagram, with selfies at celebrity parties and snapshots of luxurious destinations, she warns aspiring hairstylists that that’s only a small part of her job. “The biggest misconception is that it’s always glamorous. We spend a lot of time waiting around and waking up at 3 in the morning,” Marjan says. I’m sure there are moments where we get to be in great locations or with amazing designers, but it’s not always as glamorous as it seems. It’s a lot of grit and hard work.”

A Visual Guide to the 47 Sleekest Minimalist Fashion Outfits We’ve Ever Seen

Few trends boast the staying power minimalism does. Because minimalist fashion isn’t just a passing fad—it represents an entire sartorial mindset. Minimalism is about paring down your closet to its basics, creating a capsule wardrobe full of essentials and pairing those go-to’s every which way until you have a whole host of minimalist outfits at your disposal. It’s fashion in its most efficient form: Your closet is there to complement you, not to dominate your headspace.

Our collective affinity for minimalism hit full swing several years ago, and its remained unendingly strong since. Though maximalism has become popular in street style and home decor spheres, it hasn’t dulled minimalism’s overwhelming appeal; odds are, there’s something inside all of us that will continue appreciating simplicity, balance and peace for years—maybe even decades—to come.

The issue is: Appreciating minimalist fashion and integrating it into your day-to-day are two very, very different things. Because the latter requires effort. You have to Kondo the hell out of your closet, build that aforementioned capsule wardrobe and then brainstorm enough minimalist outfits to carry you through life. And just when you think you’ve achieved the perfect minimalist situation, something—some event, some outfit inspo pic, something—will rear its ugly head, and you’ll realize you totally neglected to stock up on some basic that’s essential to like, 10 of the outfits you want to wear.

The best way to figure out what you need to shop? Determining what you want to wear. And the easiest way to make that happen is to peruse all the minimalist outfit inspiration you can get your hands on. Which is exactly why we’ve assembled a visual guide to the 47 sleekest, best minimalist fashion outfits we’ve ever laid eyes on. (You and your soon-to-be perfectly assembled wardrobe can thank us later.)

A T-shirt and jeans is all you really need—no matter the season. Just layer your go-to jacket over your look if it’s cold out, and you’ll be good to go.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

More structural pieces certainly have a home in the minimalist wardrobe of your dreams. Because structure and versatility are far from mutually exclusive.

Melodie Jeng/Getty Images.

I mean, it’s pretty hard to argue with the oh-so classic T-shirt, blazer, jeans, boots combo.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Instant cozy-chic style. Excuse us while we try to recreate this look every way we can.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Your favorite fall sweater absolutely has a home in your spring/summer wardrobe.

Every piece in this ensemble is neutral, basic, versatile. This—right here—is the minimalist dream.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Layering is key to keeping your capsule wardrobe practical year-round. And this outfit shows just how many outfit combination options are at your disposal when you give creative styling a shot.

Can’t bear to part with a statement piece or two? That’s the fun of a capsule wardrobe—you can pair those show-stoppers with anything else in your closet, and you’ll have instant chic style in seconds.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images for Zalando.

One white T-shirt and a pair of black boots can get you through any season—and the combo can probably carry you through most occasions, too.

Claudio Lavenia/Getty Images.

Amazing how much one simple trench can do.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Why not integrate your gym wardrobe into your day-to-day one? This is minimalism, after all.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

So many options to get creative with your outfits await. Like, so many. What’s the benefit of owning tons of versatile pieces if you’re not willing to combine them in surprising ways?

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Because when everything in your closet falls within the same palette, you can craft a three-piece suit from, well, anything.

Timur Emek/Getty Images.

Honestly, you might already own every part of this outfit. No shopping required.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

This street style star is wearing three tops. Three. That’s masterful layering if we’ve ever seen it.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Pretty sure you could wear every piece in this ensemble during any time of year.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Who knew combining so many neutral basics could create such sartorial magic?

Timur Emek/Getty Images.

You can get pretty fancy with a flannel with a little effort.

Claudio Lavenia/Getty Images.

A puffer coat-jean-boot combination is kind of a no-fail option during the winter. And no one will even notice if you wear the same shirt two days in a row, because they can’t see it.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

The beauty of minimalism: Crop tops and leggings no longer seem like a summer-exclusive thing.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Pro tip: Matching sets go a long way.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Again, stock up on enough pieces within the same palette, and you’ll have endless power suit options just waiting to be unlocked.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Good news: Leather is a versatile, essential and totally worth stocking up on if you’re doing the minimalist thing.

Edward Berthelot/Getty Images.

Hard to argue with jean-on-jean—whether or not you’re a minimalist.

Melodie Jeng/Getty Images.

Minimalism makes summer blazers seem not only accessible, but totally advisable.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

You already own every part of this—just sub if your favorite statement shoes, or stick with regular ol’ booties.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Pairing your power suit with T-shirts and sneaks is officially completely acceptable.

Jeremy Moeller/Getty Images.

When you’re pairing a button-down with a pair of trousers, you kind of can’t go wrong—no matter the size of either.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Whoever said fuzzy coats were a strictly maximalist affair was sorely mistaken.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Wouldn’t your favorited blazer look stellar paired with your go-to sports bra? (The joys of minimalism—odd couples attain absolute harmony.)

Juan Naharro Gimenez/Getty Images.

With enough creativity, red can be just as versatile as any neutral.

Edward Berthelot/Getty Images.

If you’re determined enough to make every piece in your capsule wardrobe endlessly versatile, you can probably figure out a way to pair slides with a turtleneck.

Edward Berthelot/Getty Images.

Again, statement pieces aren’t off the table. When used thoughtfully, they can be just as essential and versatile as any basic.

Timur Emek/Getty Images.

Warm clothes are never not useful. And you really only need, like, one super-warm coat and one super-warm pair of pants to get by.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

A friendly reminder to stock up on versatile accessories, too.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Proof jewelry doesn’t have to be excluded from your minimalist fashion dreams.

Claudio Lavenia/Getty Images.

Coats don’t have to be extras—they can be full-on outfits.

Timur Emek/Getty Images.

When in doubt, combine everything you own within the same palette and just see what happens.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

You can wear a white button-down with anything. And you can wear black pants with anything. And honestly, you can probably wear red snakeskin boots with most things, too.

Timur Emek/Getty Images.

A perfect example of statement shoes that are pretty damn versatile.

Melodie Jeng/Getty Images.

Hats have a place in this equation, too.

Edward Berthelot/Getty Images.

We’ve made this case once, and we’ll make it again: Blazers and trousers don’t have to match to play well together.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Orange leather and chocolate leather can make a surprisingly perfect pair—if you’ll let them.

Timur Emek/Getty Images.

Boots over trousers? When you’re mixing and matching your wardrobe, anything can happen.

Christian Vierig/Getty Images.

Hard to argue the validity of a minimalist fur-trimmed jacket when it does such a good job enhancing the crop top’s inherent versatility.
