Now that summer is a few weeks away, it's time to bust out your favorite shorts, tanks, maxi dresses and flip-flops. Here are five summer fashion staples to keep you looking stylish in the heat:

1. Rompers

White Surplice Halter Romper, $59.90, Express

The Romper of the 70s is back, and this season, it's all about loose, flowy, breathable fabrics. Pair it with cute wedges or gladiator sandals and statement jewelry and you're all set!

2. Maxi Dresses

Floral off the shoulder dress, $27.90, Forever21

The maxi dress is the easiest piece to wear in the summer. Available in a variety of colors and prints, it's easy to find a style that's right for you. If you're petite, however, stick to above the knee sun dresses, as maxi dresses can cause your frame to get swallowed up in excess fabric.

3. High-waisted Shorts

High waisted shorts, $17.99, H&M

Chic and comfortable, high-waisted shorts are really versatile; you can dress them up by tucking in a fitted tee or tank paired with a cute pair of wedges, or you can dress them down with an oversize tee and flip-flops. They work on all body shapes as well.

4. Wedge Sandals

MICHAEL Michael Kors Damita Platform Wedge Sandals, $99.00, Macy's

Unlike other heeled shoes, wedge sandals are actually comfortable and functional to walk in. They come in a variety of styles and pair great with a bikini or a t-shirt and shorts.

5. Flip-flops

Women's strappy flip-flops, $6.94, Old Navy

Because it isn't officially summer without a pair of bright, colorful flip-flops. They're super comfortable to wear and can be paired with any casual outfit.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
