This Collarless Sherpa Jacket From Old Navy Passed My Cozy Test, So I’ll Buy One in Every Color

October 22, 2021 at 07:25PM There’s a crisp chill in the air, and when I last searched my closet for clothes, I realized something … I own nothing for fall and winter. Being the summer girl I am, I’ve hopped around the US avoiding chilly weather the past two years (highly recommend), but now that I’ve settled in Boston, I’ve realized it’s time I muster up the energy to pick up some clothes that’ll keep me warm in the New England fall and winter. I wasn’t looking to spend a ton, so to Old Navy I went! Its website has a ton of eye-catching items for fall, but what attracted me most was this Collarless Sherpa Jacket for Women in Black Jack ($48-$54). The cut and style look so flattering on my neckline and hips, and it’s a lot warmer than you’d expect…

17 Pairs of Platform Boots to Stomp Around In This Fall

October 22, 2021 at 06:22PM Remember the infamous Jeffrey Campbell Litas? The polarizing platform heeled boots were all the rage in the 2010s, and now a renaissance of sorts is upon us. Some might attribute the trend of taller statement boots to our (however slow) recovery from a period of social and economic hardships — after a year and a half (and counting) of the pandemic, everyone is ready to go higher, bigger and brighter when it comes to footwear, and fashion in general. The return of ’90s/2000s fashion is bringing with it the iconic platform boot, taking inspiration from The Spice Girls, Bratz Dolls and other pop culture fixtures of that era. Most recently, a street style shot of Olivia Rodrigo in a pair of red patent Naked Wolfe platform boots took over the interwebs, confirming the resurgence of the trend. Now…

Have Mercy! Chloe Bailey Sits Courtside With Gunna in the Hottest Bodysuit

October 22, 2021 at 05:27PM Is courtside the new red carpet? First, it was Adele’s head-toe-toe leather outfit at the NBA season opener earlier this week. Now, it’s Chloe Bailey’s sexy jumpsuit at the Hawks game Thursday evening. The “Have Mercy” singer made an appearance at the game alongside rapper Gunna, causing fans to wonder whether a collaboration - or romance - is in the works. Either way, all eyes had to be on Chloe and her incredible outfit. Styled by Nikki Cortez, Chloe wore what looked to be a gorgeous painting in the form of a form-fitting bodysuit by Osman Studio in collaboration with Alex Beattie. She finished the eye-catching piece with a Gucci belt, shades, and heeled sandals. The singer arrived at the game following a visit to Spelman College earlier in the day, where she greeted and hung out with…

October 22, 2021 at 05:24PM Megan Thee Stallion’s worn her fair share of cutout latex bodysuits, harnesses, and lace-up corsets in her music videos, but we can’t say we were expecting something quite as intricate as the chain-mail mini she rocks in DJ Snake’s “SG”, a collab with Ozuna and Blackpink’s Lisa. The look is courtesy of Natalia Fedner Haute Couture, which is a vegan and sustainable label based out of New York and LA. Natalia’s crafted pieces for the likes of Beyoncé, Cher, Alicia Keys, and Chloe x Halle, all of which can be described as wearable art.
