November 01, 2021 at 07:20PM To date, I have 42 handbags in my collection. Zero exaggeration - I just counted. Handbags are the way I express myself. I have large, small, structured, oversize, crossbody, tote, mini, and everything in between - in nearly every color you can imagine. I often switch out my handbags based on my outfit or the event I’m attending. And despite what my mother thinks, each bag is a little bit different. Some are great for important work meetings. Some are showstopping for date nights or an event. Others are good for everyday errands or brunch with friends. The point I’m trying to make is, I love handbags. I love the confidence they lend me and the way they can totally transform an outfit. At 42 total, I thought I had all the handbags I needed, until, of course,…

November 01, 2021 at 06:35PM If you’ve somehow managed to miss out on the global phenomenon of Squid Game, (a major feat unto itself considering that 111 million people in 90 different countries watched), the escapist dystopia is now Netflix’s biggest show ever. The ultraviolent South Korean import has been embraced so deeply by fans that in the two months since its premiere, the cultural ripples it has made worldwide are better described as a rogue wave. It’s everywhere. Halloween 2021 was gleefully flooded with green tracksuits and pink boiler suits, TikTok is full of Squid Game makeup tutorials, everyone is patiently stirring sugar into dalgona, and the iconic white sneakers that the ‘Squid Game’ players wear are seeing a massive resurgence. The white, canvas shoes worn by the doomed players in the series are classic slip-On Vans sneakers. The American company introduced…

November 01, 2021 at 06:04PM A big thank you to Insecure’s costume designer, Shiona Turini, for inadvertently supplying some excellent holiday outfit inspiration via the show’s latest looks. In case you haven’t been watching (and in which case, what are you waiting for?!), here’s a spoiler you may have already seen coming: Molly (Yvonne Orji) wears a very good outfit in episode two. It’s largely thanks to that chainlink halter top, but the whole thing is pretty perfect, if you’re into statement-making dressing that’s chic and still kind of chill. Molly breezes into Issa’s big event, showing her support, dressed in a look that makes a mark - the kind you’d notice at any party for all the right reasons. It’s sexy, and chic, and not all that hard to pull together. So, we followed the inspiration and went shopping, pulling the key…

November 01, 2021 at 05:00PM We’re two episodes into the fifth and final season of Insecure, and the one thing we know for sure: this season is going to deliver big on style. With a first look at Issa, Molly, Kelli, and Tiffany’s outfits at their college reunion in episode one, we’re treated to a glimpse of the girls’ easy takes on denim, a sporty tracksuit and fresh plaid for Issa, and new Bottega for Molly. These covetable yet relatable looks are another testament to the expertise of costume designer Shiona Turini, who takes the helm of the show’s wardrobe again for the last season. You can expect more of the contemporary-cool, high-low mix Shiona’s given us throughout, balancing emerging labels and vintage items with favorites like Telfar. Read on for a closer look at the wardrobes you can expect from the new…

November 01, 2021 at 03:40PM Solid, neutral sweaters are cool, but it’s hard to beat the rustic charm of a cozy Fair Isle sweater. The kitschy-but-timeless look has been a coveted one for hundreds of years and a fan favorite of the British royal family. Ready for a little fashion history? According to BBC, the uniquely festive knit design was originated by the people of Fair Isle (an island north of Scotland) way back in the early 1800s for local fisherman to wear. It caught on, and here I am in the year 2021, sitting on my couch, combing the internet for the same pattern. Talk about a style with staying power. If you’re looking for a sweater that’s mega cozy and just a little bit whimsical, Fair Isle is the perfect starting point. I’ve made your hunt for the perfect Fair Isle…
