Solid Gold Jewelry That’s On Sale For As Low As $43? Sign Us Up

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

If you didn’t think it was possible to get high-quality gold jewelry at reasonable and affordable prices, Oradina is here to prove otherwise. The family-owned jewelry brand, which was conceptualized three generations ago in 1956 Beirut as a crystal shop, has shifted and expanded into a modern “everyday gold jewelry” brand now based in New York. All these decades later, the low rates for Oradina gold jewelry have stayed relatively the same, making it accessible to many shoppers.

And, unlike many other companies, Oradina doesn’t use substitutes like gold plating or gold vermeil, which eventually make the metals underneath oxidize and tarnish. Instead, it only uses ethically sourced 10k, 14k, and 18k solid gold crafted in Italy. Right now, you can enjoy solid gold (and white gold and rose gold) jewelry at even more affordable prices during Oradina’s sitewide V-Day Sale. For a limited time, get 15% off all jewelry (automatically applied at checkout) that will arrive on time for Valentine’s Day when you order by February 8.

Read on to shop some of our favorite pieces from the brand’s bestsellers to its heart-shaped jewelry and under-$150 options.

Oradina Best Sellers

We perused Oradina’s bestseller section, and these elevated everyday pieces came on top for us. From sweet pendant necklaces (including a zodiac style with designs for every sign) to statement rings (like a dainty gem style with Zirconia or Topaz stones), there’s something for everyone.

The bestsellers also include several earrings, from small knotted studs to large chunky hoops, and a few simple bracelets that could effortlessly be added into any of our jewelry collections. Cart some up for yourself as a well-deserved treat, or give them as a Valentine’s Day gift this year.

Heart-Shaped Jewelry For Valentine’s Day

We couldn’t help but include some of Oradina’s many heart-shaped “Be My Valentine” pieces ahead of the lovey-dovey holiday. The mother-of-pearl heart necklace above makes our own hearts sing, but we’re also into the simple gold heart pendant and retro ribbed heart necklaces.

You can also find heart-shaped rings and stud earrings for whispering sweet nothings. And while everyone is swooning over charms, consider carting up a heartburst charm to add to your favorite necklace or bracelet.

Under-$150 Jewelry

If you’re on a budget and looking for affordable jewelry, Oradina has an under-$250 category that proves fine jewelry can be accessible. We’ve helped narrow down your search even more with these under-$150 jewelry pieces that are further discounted during the V-Day Sale.

The dainty pieces include thin chain necklaces and bracelets, tiny stud earrings (check out the petite ball studs on sale for just 43!), and simple ring bands. Plus, if you’re a fan of layering your necklaces but don’t want to constantly worry about them getting tangled, consider investing in a layering clasp that allows you to wear three chains at a time.

“I Have Nothing To Wear!” Yes, You Do — You Just Have Decision Fatigue

Life can often feel like a series of endless decisions. On any given morning, you might find yourself staring at your wardrobe, frozen by the breadth of decisions needed to get dressed. You’re trying to decide which of your tops are appropriate for the office, then mentally pairing them with various pants, shoes, and jackets… Until it gets too late to keep deliberating. Later that evening you’re browsing shopping sites — because you’ve decided you now need a new transitional jacket — and you’re inundated with sponsored ads and thousands of options with various panic-inducing price tags. Now you’re questioning whether you need a new jacket at all. Your eco-anxiety chimes in, and suddenly your decision is playing a primary role in the climate crisis. So you decide your wardrobe is already filled with a million things you don’t wear anyway, close the browser and repeat.

This frustrating game of mental ping-pong plays out inside all of us. Social psychologist Roy F Baumeister named it decision fatigue. This term applies to any area of our lives where we feel there are too many choices to make. According to a 2024 report by at-home styling service Stitch Fix, over half of their clients said they felt “mentally overwhelmed or stressed when deciding what to wear” last year. While feeling like you have nothing to wear can seem both universal and inescapable, there are plenty of tangible ways to combat that decision fatigue — and make fashion fun again.

Andrea Cheong explores why we feel this way in her recent book Why Don’t I Have Anything To Wear?, which ultimately traces back to how we think about shopping. “I think we struggle because we have so many options, but we didn’t really know where to begin,” Cheong tells Refinery29. “In the kindest and most respectful way possible, I don’t think most people actually know how to shop for fashion … We weren’t taught how.”

@andreacheong_ This is why we feel we dont have anything to wear! #howtoshopsustainably #mindfulmondaymethod #qualityfashion #mindfulconsumption #sustainablefashion ♬ original sound – Andrea

Services aimed at helping us shop and dress better have increased in popularity over recent years. From clothing rental app to size-specific styling services and even digital wardrobe apps, it is clear that outsourcing your decision-making isn’t all that farfetched. The UK-based styling platform Harper brings both the stylist and the fitting room to your door for a “try before you buy” service. Not only does the stylist come back to take the clothes you don’t want, they can also provide you with professional advice.

Victoria Irving, Harper’s head of service, tells Refinery29 that having a subjective stylist on hand can help clients make otherwise difficult decisions about what to wear. “Although we’re a service that helps brands sell, we’re there to make sure that customers make the right choices. We’re not trying to push them into pieces or head-to-toe outfits that don’t feel right to them,” says Irving.

Decision fatigue can get pretty overwhelming — especially when heightened by factors like cost of living and fears of overconsumption, or conditions like ADHD and autism. That’s why we asked the above experts how we combat decision fatigue in our everyday lives — and ultimately bring the fun back into getting dressed in the morning.

Put away your out-of-season clothes — then audit the rest of them

A wardrobe audit is part one of Chong’s five-step Mindful Monday Method, which helps people develop healthier relationships with their clothes. Whenever you don’t know what to wear, Cheong suggests putting away anything that’s not in season so that you’re not distracted by too much choice. With the clothes that are left, figure out what you love, what might need mending or repairing, and what you’re ready to donate or recycle.

“If you aren’t familiar with what hasn’t served you in the past, I always encourage people to look at the retailers that are in that pile. Look at the fabric compositions. What happened that didn’t work for you? Did they not wash well? If they didn’t wash well that could be a sign of planned obsolescence,” says Cheong. She also suggests looking at the colors or styles you don’t like and asking yourself why these things matter to you. You understand a lot about your personal style this way. 

Be mindful of the content you’re consuming 

Social media can play a huge role in the way we dress. “I think it’s so difficult to step back currently where there’s so much product and the trend cycles are so short that you almost feel like you need to be consuming every month when it’s not necessary,” says Irving. She advises her clients to step away from the news feeds and For You pages, and “allow time to actually reflect on the pieces within your own wardrobe.” This also goes for the types of content you are consuming. Cheong notes that if you’re following higher-end brands or influencers, the fashion you are seeing will be less accessible, and will create a deeper sense of lack. 

Reconsider your approach to shopping

Are you shopping because it’s payday? Because it’s the weekend? Because you’re bored? Cheong points to these ingrained habits as playing a factor in decision fatigue. “That mindset is so hard to break out from because since we got our first pay cheque or first bit of pocket money, that’s when we started reinforcing the wrong approach to shopping,” she says. In reality, there is also no escape from perpetual sales and discounts, and the fast fashion approach that can feel like there are 52 seasons in a year. The change really needs to come from you. 

Take control of your self-expression 

Fashion is sometimes more about how you feel than how you look. Working with clients, Irving likes to take a more empathetic approach to help them find what works best for them. “It’s really about self-discovery and trial and error, allowing the time to make mistakes, and really figuring out what it is that you like and don’t like about a particular piece,” Irving says. “Getting dressed each day is a practice of that.” In the same way that you might add more veggies to your diet, or curb bad habits like self-judgment, we are all capable of making executive decisions about our wardrobes — which will ultimately provide energy rather than fatigue. Making sure there’s some versatility across your pieces can be really helpful, too.

Whether you’ve got a huge wardrobe or prefer a more minimal selection, it’s inevitable that you’ll run into the occasional panic. There’s no one cure for these decision woes but like most things, a clearer answer can usually be found when you tune into what’s pulling you the most… Even if that means being an outfit-repeater or — dare we say it — wearing something that’s simply boring.

The Best Workout Clothes Are Ones You Already Own

Luxury Fashion To Invest In This Year

Gray Is A Top Color Trend — Here’s How To Style It

Take It From A Fitness Instructor: These Are The Best Brands To Work Out In

While I spent years doing competitive cheerleading, following high school I never considered myself a “fitness girl.” Working out became a chore. As such, shopping for workout clothes that I was only going to begrudgingly throw on to sweat in for an hour seemed like a misuse of money. But then, while tending to an injury and amid a breakup, I fell in love with pilates, the first workout that helped me understand the mind-muscle connection and sparked positive mental results. Working out was no longer a drag but self-care, an escape from reality, and a bit of a party all in one. Slowly, the ritual of getting dressed for a workout became more important, too. I sought out new fitness brands, tested the efficiency of trend-driven silhouettes, and figured out how to accessorize a look in a way that wouldn’t get in the way of class. 

Fast-forward nearly three years later, I’m an instructor at my pilates studio (NYC’s Bodyrok, come say hi!). I also continue working as a trend forecaster, guiding brands and retailers on the trends they can expect to see in the coming years and how to translate them for their customers. Unsurprisingly, the activewear market has become a specialty of mine on both a personal and professional level, and if you’re wondering exactly what to wear to your pilates class (or any other similarly minded workout: yoga, barre, etc.) this year, you’ll want to read ahead. 

From the most practical yet stylish silhouettes to which brand has the best fabric, consider this your guide to avoid buying sets that’ll get in the way of your workouts and, as a result, sit at the back of your athleisure drawer. 

All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission.

The Best Overall Activewear Brand 

If you’re looking for the holy grail of athleisure brands, look no further than Alo. In addition to working with the brand as a client and wearing it while I teach, I probably wear Alo three out of five days while working from home or the coffee shop, too. They excel in all aspects across the board: silhouettes and details that feel fresh and trend-driven yet are functional, a variety of fabric and coverage options that ensure there’s something for everyone, and a well-rounded assortment from grip socks to puffer jackets to wear en route to class. Some days, I truly am in head-to-toe Alo from workday to workout. 

Activewear Brands With Interesting Silhouettes

Finding that perfect cut of a bra top or the type of waistband you prefer on leggings takes a bit of trial and error. Personally, I’m mildly obsessed with V-cut leggings — and JOJA’s and Year of Ours’ options are favorites. I also love how they offer mix-and-match options for the coordinating tops whether you prefer a halter top, V-neck bra, or longer tank.

Activewear Brands With Stylish Yet Practical Sets

If sticking with the tried-and-true silhouettes is more your speed, you can still find brands that add an extra style punch through unique textures, contrast trims, and cool colorways. VEYND is a newer-to-market brand from the creatives behind the cool girl label Kooples that expertly brings a dose of edge to activewear. Think: a deep burgundy, charcoal, and olive green palette and eye-catching cut-outs. On another note, Splits59 has mastered the art of color combinations that make a staple-silhouette set feel just as exciting as the more daring options on the market.

The Best Athleisure Brands

After spending months living part-time in Los Angeles, it’s become clear that the pilates girls of the West Coast have mastered the art of taking their look from the studio to the streets. And it makes sense: With that sort of traffic, you want to keep your day moving smoothly by updating one look rather than running home for an outfit change if possible. This is where layering comes into play. From knitwear options to shrugs, Live the Process has everything to complete a look. As I mentioned earlier, Alo is also another destination for wear-everywhere pieces with zip-ups, cute cardis, and lightweight cargos that you could throw over bike shorts for your commute home.

The Best Affordable Activewear Brands

If you’re just entering your wellness era, there are tons of more budget-savvy selections. Aerie has perfected supportive, comfortable silhouettes that are offered in an array of colors at an accessible price point. If you’re looking for more trend-driven pieces, Victoria’s Secret has workout sets and after-class athleisure with of-the-moment details and seasonal color palettes. Whenever I need a quick budget option, Forever 21 has impressively good pieces — I worked in their retail store as my first job in high school, and the brand’s seamless leggings held up well into my college years.

Activewear Brands With The Best Fabrics

Not to be dramatic, but, when you work out for a living, fabric can make or break a set. Too thin, and you feel unsupported; too thick sans moisture-wicking capabilities and you’re uncomfortable, counting down the minutes until class ends. For the softest feel that’s ready to combat sweat, Gilly Hicks does the job. Personally, my fabric of choice for both taking class and teaching is “seamless” — it’s supportive but not restrictive. New brand on the block House ID and Set Active have some of my favorite mix-and-match seamless sets.

Best Activewear Accessory Brands

To complement your workout set, simple jewelry that withstands tarnishing is the best way to accessorize your look; I look to brands like Jenny Bird and Awe Inspired for unique yet practical pieces. Especially when I’m teaching, an Apple watch is a must-have, and Post Tech has both silicone and more stylish metal bands to switch out. While pilates calls for you to be sans shoes, socks are a necessity; I recommend checking out Doublesoul for the grip-sock variety packs.

The 25 Best Travel Pants That Aren’t Leggings

Heading off on a trip and don’t know what to wear? Before you rummage for bottoms in the back of your closet, take a gander at these elevated travel pants. We understand whether you’re traveling by plane, train, or car, comfort is key. And while we love our trusty leggings and cozy sweats, some folks prefer looking a little more pulled together with stylish bottoms during their trips. 

When it came to curating our best travel pants, we put in place a set of criteria to meet: They should look versatile enough to wear straight off the plane and for the next stop on a jam-packed schedule, be comfortable enough to withstand whatever weird contortions you end up in when trying to catch sleep on a long-haul flight, and coordinate with the rest of your wardrobe for mixing and matching. Along with those requirements are a handful of secondary concerns like wrinkle resistance, technical fabric, and — of course — pockets.

Say hello to our 25 top travel pant picks below. Once you learn the beauty of these sweat-wicking, breezy, and relaxed-fit bottoms, we promise you'll never go back.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
