Jennifer Lopez Visits Ben Affleck on Set in a Pair of Towering EspadrillesJune 23, 2022 at 06:30PMIt’s not unlike Jennifer Lopez to make a casual outing in a pair of platforms. While visiting fiancĂ© Ben Affleck on the set of his new project in Santa Monica, CA, on June 22, the multi-hyphenate debuted a pair of her own JLO Jennifer Lopez sandals, which are part of her collection for DSW. The espadrilles are unlike many other wedges in that they’re sliced into a towering 5-inch block heel stacked on a 2-inch platform, and they come equipped with an ankle-wrap closure for added drama. The Minel platform is available in nude, dark brown, and light blue and retails for only $70. Lopez demonstrated how to elevate the style by keeping it sleek and sophisticated in a black sleeveless cotton jumpsuit with tapered ankles, a…

Kate Middleton’s Green Portrait Gown Is a Regal Tribute to Princess DianaJune 23, 2022 at 05:50PMThe Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released their first official portrait on Thursday, June 23. Unveiled at the University of Cambridge’s Fitzwilliam Museum in England, the portrait was painted by British artist Jamie Coreth and presents Kate Middleton in a regal emerald-green gown by The Vampire’s Wife and in a matching shade. The Falconetti emerald metallic silk dress exudes the effortless elegance of flappers from the 1920s, and it falls beautifully over Middleton’s frame at the bodice, which extends into a midlength skirt. The three-quarter-length sleeves and hem are both edged with soft ruffles, enhancing the alluring charm of the gown. Middleton first wore it on Saint Patrick’s Day in March 2020 during a trip to Dublin with Prince William, channeling Princess Diana in the most glamorous way.…

Curve-Washing is the Illusion of Body Inclusivity

June 08, 2022 at 02:53PM Are we really in the age of size inclusivity? As more curvy models appear on catwalks, magazine covers and brand campaigns, it would seem the answer to that question is “yes.” But when we see the marketing tactics at play behind such progress, it becomes performative at best, and fatphobic at worst. The sad truth is, the promise to cater to all shapes and sizes is merely a ploy for many brands. And it’s been given a name: curve-washing. The retail strategy is pervasive but sometimes hard to spot. Curve-washing is when brands use body-positive language, marketing and imagery to appear inclusive when they are, in fact, not. We often see this when brands use size-diverse models in ad campaigns or on runways without actually selling those same sizes. “I’m seeing [curve-washing] everywhere,” TikTok creator @hannahleelifestyle said in…

How to eat clean and healthy on a budget

How to eat clean and healthy on a budgetJune 08, 2022 at 11:02AM Hi friends! Hope you’re having a lovely morning so far! In today’s post, I wanted to chat a bit about how to eat clean and healthy on a budget and my tips for saving money on food! I shared a post here on what it means to eat clean, and how this phrase is common (and this post is really titled like this for search purposes) but it isn’t my favorite phrase. No food is “dirty” and I’m a huge believer that you should eat the things you enjoy that work in your budget and lifestyle. Eating clean emphasizes eating nutritious and minimally-processed foods (though many processed foods are actually healthy!), eating fresh fruits and veggies, unprocessed veggies, smart carbs, and whole grains. Eating in this way can seem expensive,…

Anne Hathaway Hits the Red Carpet in a Massive Diamond Necklace and Mini Shorts

June 07, 2022 at 11:20PM Styling a button-up shirt can be tricky, but Anne Hathaway’s outfit at the Bulgari High Jewelry Gala in Paris is proof that even the simplest wardrobe staple can be transformed into a sophisticated masterpiece. On June 6, the “WeCrashed” star graced the event in bright-yellow mini shorts and a floor-grazing collared shirt. Hathaway layered the shirt dress over a pair of sunshine-yellow shorts, creating a thigh-cutout illusion that offered a glimpse of her creamy-white peep-toe pumps. Nailing the effortlessly chic look, Hathaway left the sleeves of the oversize shirt bunched at her elbows and finished the ensemble with a sophisticated bun. The vibrant outfit, which is look 11 from Valentino’s spring/summer 2022 ready-to-wear collection, nearly stole all the spotlight - until Hathaway’s plunging neckline revealed a massive diamond necklace. The glittering choker featured a yellow pendant dripping with…
